  1. Bush doesn't care about Osama (In his own words) on 11-Nation Raid on Net Pirates · · Score: 1

    http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/03/20 020313-8.html

    Q: ...don't you believe that the threat that bin Laden posed won't truly be eliminated until he is found either dead or alive?

    THE PRESIDENT: Well, as I say, we haven't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is. I -- I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him. I know he is on the run. I was concerned about him, when he had taken over a country. I was concerned about the fact that he was basically running Afghanistan and calling the shots for the Taliban.

    But once we set out the policy and started executing the plan, he became -- we shoved him out more and more on the margins. He has no place to train his al Qaeda killers anymore.

  2. Conspiracy Nut on World's Biggest Hacker Held · · Score: 1

    I urge anyone that considers this hacker a conspiracy nut to Google for "MK Ultra" and then tell me whether government conspiracies are for loonies.

  3. Voice Recognition Malfunctions in Compton.. on Gunshot Tracking Cameras to be Deployed in LA · · Score: 1

    Fo schizzle my grizzle

  4. Re:We failed America on Blackboxvoting.org Raises Vote-Audit FOIA Request · · Score: 1

    Not all of Florida used the machines. Mosty the southern area. Maybe these are the areas they had to focus on with the machines. I wonder what Jub Bush was thinking.

  5. YUP WE'RE GOING TO HELL.. on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    IMHO; I think we (U.S.) are going to hell. The voters that chose Bush deserve what they are going to get from their leader. More fear mongering and war. -Yeah, mod me down. What can be worse?

  6. Specify please on Chimp Can Hack Diebold Electronic Voting System · · Score: 1

    Can you please be a bit more specific as to which chimp you are talking about?

  7. Re:Yup, yup... on How To Lose An Election · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter which political party you are a part of. If a superior does a bad job they deserve the blame and not the employees/contractors. I'm independent ;)

  8. Re:Yup, yup... on How To Lose An Election · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of a boss that hires a contractor and doesn't give proper instruction for the job. If you had only one choice, who would you blame? The "contractor" hired to do a job or the boss that's in charge of it all? If blaming a contractor on everything (sloppy programming) makes you sleep better at night then go ahead. I blame it on the public officials (bosses) that we trusted to handle the task. We need a regime change in other places than the White House. FYI, I'm in Florida.

  9. Teaser on Apollo 11 Photographs Unfrozen · · Score: 1

    I'll cherry-pick a few for you: 1, 2, 3. --Thats like strapping a stick with food tied at the end. You are so cruel.

  10. Domes! on Design Wanted For Antarctic Base · · Score: 1

    If you can get your hands on some rebar and strong concrete: http://www.monolithicdome.com/

  11. Anti-gravity on Scientist Sees Space Elevator in 15 Years · · Score: 1

    All we need is a device that defies gravity. I think it is just a matter of time till someone figures it out. Once it is available, we can just hover towards the sky than use these bulky and outdated contraptions.

  12. Living Trust on Your Data and Cyber Business After You're Gone · · Score: 3, Informative

    For the easiest method of transferring ownership of anything digital or otherwise I use a "Living Trust". A safe is used to store my documents in typed or witten format (a good locksmith can crack it when needed) and a trusted friend to manage the trust. This way I can die in peace knowing that my loved ones will not be ripped off by the greedy probate process.

  13. Illegal Plates on Big Brother Will Be Watching You In Florida · · Score: 1

    We've had cameras at many intersection for quite some time. Its just a matter of time before they put them to use in one way or another. For anyone in Florida contemplating any method to block the plates...don't. Anything that restricts a license plate's view is illegal. Even those simple license plate frames at the supermarket.

  14. A thought... on Build Your Own Imperial Star Destroyer · · Score: 1

    I admit, this is really cool stuff. But, am I the only one thinking this guy has spent way too much time playing with dolls?

  15. Re:Timing it right could be tricky on Stoplights to Mete Out Punishment? · · Score: 1

    Millions of dollars are made every year off in tickets. I enjoy fighting my ticket in court and urge anyone else to do so. It is an unfair system (tax) made to suck money from drivers. I had my last speeding ticket here in Florida dismissed. At least we still have some laws to protect ourselves in court from this bullsh*t. Knowing your rights and court procedures can help out alot! Reminds me, gotta donate to the ACLU.

  16. Two... on Sun and Microsoft Settle Litigation · · Score: 1

    Billiun Dollars (holding up crooked pinky) muahahahahah (Sorry, couldn't resist myself)

  17. SCO and DOS on SCO Calls GPL Unenforceable, Void · · Score: 0

    I can see SCO being DOS'ed out of existence soon.

  18. Re:Rant: Time to Start a Blacklist on Touch Screen Voting Industry Circling Wagons · · Score: 1

    Two words: plausible denial.

  19. Re:Most Everyone? on DARPA Developing 'Combat Zones That See' · · Score: 1

    Here in Orlando Florida we have cameras in many street corners. It just a matter of time before it is used for surveillance..unless it is already being done.

  20. 7eleven has better security!! on Interview with Voting Machine Company Reps · · Score: 1, Interesting

    What is so freaking difficult about counting votes accurately?? (1+1=2!) I agree with most /.ers here, there should be a paper trail definitely. I would suggest something like a ticket with a confirmation number, and vote info printed out after voting electronically. Similar to the money order or lotto tickets you buy at 7 eleven! ie. A voting ticket automatically printed out after vote is submitted, with 2 parts, where one part you keep and the other is placed into a secured box.

  21. Phone Tap on CDMA vs. GSM in Post-war Iraq · · Score: 1

    Regardless of the technology they use, I think it will make it easier for the US to tap everyone there.

  22. Now being able to download Animatrix..... on Second Episode of The Animatrix Released · · Score: 1

    is kind of like.. a bummer.

  23. Bond.....James..Bond. on Digital Restrictions Management in Office 11 · · Score: 1

    If it can't be cracked (software, hardware) there is always my trusty spy camera, or screen capture utility. :P

  24. Re:$30k??? on First Red Hat Academy for High School · · Score: 1

    Its a whole lot better than working at Walmart for less than 13k (Gross) a year!

  25. Moon on NASA Wants Astronauts on Mars by 2010 · · Score: 1

    What ever happened with the moon?
