  1. Whoosh.

  2. Re:"Easy" fix for this on FTC To Revisit Robocall Menace · · Score: 1

    5 is useless.

    Officially: "Our contracts with $OFFSHORE_CALL_CENTER specifiy compliance with DNC"

    Unofficially, with no paper trail: "Hey, $OFFSHORE_CALL_CENTER, do whatever you have to do to make lots of sales. Screw the DNC, you're offshore and untouchable."

  3. Re:Blah on Web Exploit Found That Customizes Attack For Windows, Mac, and Linux · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Never. Netcraft has confirmed it... BSD is dead.

    Wake up people... ALL POLITICIANS IN WASHINGTON are destroying our society. [url-redacted]-washingtons-blatant-disregard-for-the-constitution-is-appalling/

    There. FTFY.

  5. Re:One small caveat on Nukes Are "The Only Peacekeeping Weapons the World Has Ever Known," Says Waltz · · Score: 1

    You're joking, but yes.

    Before Hiroshima and Nagasaki, exactly ONE nuke had been exploded (Trinity). Everyone was ignorant of the aftereffects such as fallout. They thought that the nuke was just a really REALLY REALLY big boom, but that was it.

    Post-Hiroshima/Nagasaki, the true effects of the Bomb became clear.

  6. Re:No brainer on Choosing the Right Security Tools To Protect VMs · · Score: 1

    So it's like Snow White complaining, "Yeah, you promised me 7 inches... but not one inch AT A TIME!!!"

  7. Re:Stretching the Imagination of Design on 'Rubber-Band Electronics' Can Stretch To 200 Percent Their Original Size · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if you were going for Insightful or Funny with this one!

  8. Re:And what are you supposed to remotely?? on Has the Command Line Outstayed Its Welcome? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And when you're having the user ping *BECAUSE HE HAS CONNECTIIVITY ISSUES* that remote desktop will be useless.

  9. Re:Sports Announcer Voice. on On the iPhone and Apple's Meteoric Rise To the Top · · Score: 2

    Who cares what doctors say! I'm waiting for Netcraft to confirm it!!!

  10. Re:This is insulting... on High-Frequency Traders Are the Ultimate Hackers, Says Mark Cuban · · Score: 1

    Do you even know who Mark Cuban is?

  11. Re:In AD 2012 (cyber) War was beginning.... on While the U.S. and Iran Negotiate, War Commences In Cyberspace · · Score: 1

    By the way... I apologize for the GP. The story title was just too tempting.

  12. In AD 2012 (cyber) War was beginning.... on While the U.S. and Iran Negotiate, War Commences In Cyberspace · · Score: 1

    Somebody set us up the Stuxnet!

  13. Re:i still struggle to determine on Arizona H-1B Workers Advised to Carry Papers At All Times · · Score: 1

    You answered your own question.

    "Pandering to their geriatric neoconservative constitutents" = votes.
    votes = power.

  14. Re:D? on A New C Standard Is On the Way · · Score: 1

    If this version is P, then when will L finally come out?

  15. Re:Was Jesus riding Nessie? on Fundamentalist Schools Using "Nessie" To Disprove Evolution · · Score: 1

    Who would want to?

  17. Re:Enact mandatory voting on Kaspersky Says Lack of Digital Voting Will Be Democracy's Downfall · · Score: 1

    I agree with you. However, under the Aussie rules, I guess the best option would be to go and turn in a blank ballot.

    Unless you want to fight the law in court (can you do that in Oz?).

  18. Re:"because it is built on MS Access." on Bev Harris of Black Box Voting Releases Accenture's Voting Software · · Score: 1

    <PEDANTIC>
    It's somewhat proper in spoken English, because it's actually "must've". which is a contraction for "must have". I say "somewhat" because I'm not sure if that is a valid contraction.

    In any case, the spoken "must've" was misinterpreted into writing as "must of" instead of "must have"

  19. Re:Oracle on Google To Pay $0 To Oracle In Copyright Case · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yes, it was BSF, but they also had hired the MoFos (and, no, that's not a joke domain, it's legit).

    The MoFos trashed BSF in the SCO/Novell suit.

  20. Re:Heinlein Juvies. on Ask Slashdot: Best Science-Fiction/Fantasy For Kids? · · Score: 1

    Troopers isn't a Juvie. It shouldn't be classed as such.

  21. Re:Heinlein Juvies. on Ask Slashdot: Best Science-Fiction/Fantasy For Kids? · · Score: 1

    This. A thousand times this.

  22. The article title is wrong. on Employees Admit They'd Walk Out With Stolen Data If Fired · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's why you don't understand.

    The title should read: " MANAGEMENT Admits They'd Walk Out With Stolen Data If Fired"

    TFS says they surveyed managers and executives, not rank and file.

    When they aren't, they are basket cases.

    In other words, school administrators.

    It's obvious that SpaceX will be selected.

    How soon will Dragon be man-rated, and even more important, Falcon 9 and/or Falcon Heavy?

    Yeah, it feels like someone driving a spike through the sole of your foot.
