  2. Wrong in the summary on Could Crowdsourcing Help the SEC Detect Fraud? · · Score: 1

    because they are understaffed (a fact the SEC itself has admitted), under-funded, and simply lack the resources to adequately investigate his activities

    Harry Markopolos did all their work for them but they simply refused to investigate because they had a cozy relationship with Madoff.

  3. Re:Peace of mind or deter thieves? on Where To Start With DIY Home Security? · · Score: 1

    Putting up theif deterrants in the form of monitoring systems only attract thieves.

  4. Porn as a human right on Porn Sites Still Exposed In China · · Score: 1, Funny

    The communist party must not think access to porn is a human right or they would have taken it away.

  5. Re:India is the 5th country... on India's New Rupee Symbol Won't Show On Computers · · Score: 1

    You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline

    India has a local beer: Kingfisher. The owner of the beer company has an airline: Kingfisher airlines.

  6. Re:Stock price is falling too on iPhone 4 Reception Recall Ruckus Roundup · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Apple's stock has gone down a huge 5%

    That could be selling by investors who bought the stock in anticipation of the iPhone 4 launch. The "Buy the rumor, sell on the news" effect.

  7. Bias? on US Plans Cyber Shield For Private Companies and Utilities · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How do we feel about NSA spyware in all of our infrastructure?

    Better than Chinese spyware in all of our infrastructure.

  8. Re:Someone's hiring smartly! on Chinese Company Seeks US Workers With 125 IQ · · Score: 1

    Try discussing a real-world requirement with a well-spoken Englishman who has lived in the same area as you and experienced the same social and workplace culture and worked with you in the company on similar projects

    How do you explain hundreds of government projects that are epic failures and massively over budget. Bob from Bangalore isn't working on those project. You are(and the Englishman)

    an API together

    Could it be that the value of the API you are writing doesn't justify the cost of having you and the Englishman sitting in a room in the US?

    So we've gone from "Hope and Change" to "STFU, everybody does it"?

  11. Verizon FUD? on Verizon iPhone Rumored For Early Next Year · · Score: 1
    The business insider makes an interesting point:

    We wouldn't be surprised if this was Verizon's doing, in an attempt to get people to wait before upgrading to the iPhone 4 and extending their AT&T contracts another two years. The carrier has a history of leaked information during sensitive times for its competitors. Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/verizon-iphone-coming-in-january-2010-6#ixzz0sHfifYxg

    iPhone commercials advertise the ability to make calls and surf at the same time. AFAIK, you can't do that on Verizon's network.

  12. Re:Official Notice and Explanation on Google To End Google.cn Redirect · · Score: 1

    How is that relevant? Google still need to make $$s, not thai big macs. If the average thai person is living large on 2000$/yr, how is that better for google than an American worker making 20k/yr?

  13. Re:Official Notice and Explanation on Google To End Google.cn Redirect · · Score: 3, Insightful

  16. Re:When you are looking for a needle in a on DHS Wants To Monitor the Web For Terrorists · · Score: 1

    I'm all in favor of reporting Nidal Hasan's treasonous statements and kicking him out of the army. There were a lot of warnings about your neo-nazi subordinate but he didn't actually shoot 13 people, like Nidal Hasan did... That just proves my point.

  17. Re:When you are looking for a needle in a on DHS Wants To Monitor the Web For Terrorists · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There were so many warnings

    I'm sure there are so many warnings about a lot of people who'll never actually do anything. We have the benefit of hindsight in Nidal Hassan's case.

  18. Re:So we're judging the entire muslim world on Pakistani Lawyer Wants Mark Zuckerberg Executed · · Score: 1
    This isn't about the lawyer who filed the lawsuit. This is about the law. Pakistan actually has laws on the book that make blasphemy an offense punishable by death.

    And YES...we are justified in characterizing a country with such a law as backward.

    Fuck all the people with their false moral equivalence BS.

  19. Re:Feh on Claimed US Military Wikileaks Source Arrested · · Score: 1

    Why isn't it relevant? It establishes a pattern and clearly shows these guys aren't cowboys out to shoot hajis. For example, if you had a patient die when operated upon by a surgeon, the fact that the surgeon performed a thousand similar operations without a hitch WOULD be relevant. It would prove that the surgeon isn't careless or incompetent.

  20. Hundrerds of tabs? on Mozilla Reveals Firefox 4 Plans · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seriously...if you have 100s of tabs open, you have ADD or you need to learn to let go of your tabs. Relax. Close them. They'll still be there when you wake up.

  21. Re:you've defined the weakness, not the strength on Researchers Demo Hardware Attacks Against India's E-Voting Machines · · Score: 1

    Not true. India did have paper voting. The fraud happened before the vote count. Criminals would simply "capture" polling booths and stuff the ballot boxes.

  22. Meaningless on Researchers Demo Hardware Attacks Against India's E-Voting Machines · · Score: 1

    So, to really steal an election, you would have to build millions of these fake devices and deliver them to the remotest of places(the only way to get to some of which is by using an elephant).

  23. Re:SELL! on Stock Market Sell-Off Might Stem From Trader's Fat Finger · · Score: 1

    due to some obscure overseas debt concerns

    Greece is hardly an "obscure overseas debt concern". Greece going bankrupt will have a ripple effect through the eurozone. As it is, when the IMF bails out Greece, it's actually the US taxpayers who will be on the hook.
