  1. Re:Short Answer on Could the US Phase Out Nuclear Power? · · Score: 1

    Considering the new e-coli http://www.naturalnews.com/032622_ecoli_bioengineering.html#ixzz1OTqLw4WU I think we need to put the bananas nest to a melt down! :)

  2. Re:Short Answer on Could the US Phase Out Nuclear Power? · · Score: 0

    I am sorry, but that is a reasoned response on slashdot, and should be moderated Troll to teach you a lesson. (The sad thing is that it might actually happen.)

  3. Re:MDSOLAR, REVEAL YOURSELF. on Could the US Phase Out Nuclear Power? · · Score: 1

    How is asking is you are still beating your girlfriend a slight? You can imply a lot with a loaded question. And if you look at mdsolar's posts and submissions, you see a decided slant. I like to consider sources I find on the Internet.

    At least one person can read and comprehend two posts at once. :)

    OK. Send me a few grand for all the old system at the office. I need Windows licenses, and a lot of memory.

    The adds will still work fine, I am sure.

  8. Re:How about a real open protocol? on Skype Protocol Has Been Reverse Engineered · · Score: 1

    Yep. I told that to the people at my company too... You hiring? (Note: That was a joke. But with some truth on the side.)

    - Jail a person because they ran over someone else while drunk

    If you can run over someone in the US while driving drunk in France, it may be a comparison. However, this is the US going to France and kidnapping the drunk driver for running over someone IN FRANCE. And is still a very bad analogy.

  10. Re:Good - arrest me on Embed a Video, Go To Jail? · · Score: 2

    however, where is the petition to have this shut down? posting it up on /. would be a great idea....

    How about http://klobuchar.senate.gov/emailamy.cfm http://cornyn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=ContactForm and http://coons.senate.gov/contact/ to start. I am in Texas, so I called Cornyn. Slashdot em!

    Selective enforcement is compatible with mercy, and by extension, justice. Law isn't the end goal.

    Selective enforcement can be compatible with mercy. It can also be a way to punish opponents. If someone is always breaking some law (Just not normally enforced) you can just go and arrest anyone you want. (Example: Glenn Beck for this administration and Jon Stewart for the next one)

  12. Re:"lese majeste" on US Citizen Visiting Thailand Arrested For Blog Posting · · Score: 1

    There is precedent the other way. The "Sexual Tourism" laws in the US punish US Citizens for things they do abroad that may be legal there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PROTECT_Act_of_2003 And the Internet gambling laws, and so on... Everyone likes to project power when they can. Does not make it right, but don't get too smug. (And before the trolls start, no I do not think child abuse is the same as insulting a king)

  13. Re:Relax, the bill is on HOLD thanks to Senator Wy on US Senate Committee Passes PROTECT IP Act · · Score: 1

    No, do not relax. Get him support. Ask your Senator why you have more support in Oregon than at home?

  14. Re:Instead of complaints, we need answers on US Senate Committee Passes PROTECT IP Act · · Score: 1

    Because this legislation will not hurt Google. It makes no difference to them, and they other fights to win. It just makes a difference to us... You know... We The People.

    Go to ATM... Spit out money... "Yep, the dollar ain't what it used to be..."

  19. Re:Jitsi on Linux-Friendly Alternatives To Skype · · Score: 1

    Unless both sides are STUNed. And Skype will also not work p2p if both sides are NATed without some type of proxy.

  20. Last mile on Netflix Isn't Swamping the Internet · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So the last mile is the tightest, and contended. And we now know the data caps are a joke. So, still a problem.

    I was going to say the same thing. What features am I missing? The big page of adds?

  24. Re:Jitsi on Linux-Friendly Alternatives To Skype · · Score: 1

    Skype needs a server in the middle too... Unless you mean it can direct p2p after the session is initiated. Kinda like the sip canreinvite=yes option.
