    My gosh what a clever plan! lets turn off all teh lights and force teh robberz to use flash lights!

    Your cunning plan doesn't take into account those locations were PEOPLE FREE. also, with muggings your trying to PREVENT them happening, not focusing on catching them after the fact.

    I would out in the middle of the australia desert - i kow what a black sky is. but suggesting we need cities without night lighting is retarded. haven't you seen the simpsons episode?

  5. darker == more muggings on Making War On Light Pollution · · Score: -1, Troll

    Yay lets make darker streets so we can all get mugged - atleast while your laying there in a pool of your own blood you'll have a nice sky to look up at.

  6. Re:More than just DDoS on Anti-Scammers Become Storm Botnet Victims · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Taking the website off the air isn't their only objective, they are trying to cost them $ in bandwidth. Face it, once you've been targeted by a big ddos your screwed, all you can do is try mitigate some of the damage.

  7. money on New Bill to Clarify Cellphone Contracts · · Score: 4, Insightful

    watch for the "but we need to make money" argument... which is flawed - you also MUST provide a reasonable level of service to deserve said money

  8. Re:So Say I'm Microsoft on House Passes Patent Overhaul Bill · · Score: 0

    so retardo, why are you bashing MS for supporting this? IBM is in that list as well, open your eyes.

    Huh? this is perfect, imagine this was applied to the stupid ass 1 click patent. Lets see how much is that extra click worth? oh nothing. no money for patent troll.

  12. Re:What a moronic post on What's Wrong With Lithium Ion Batteries? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Never engineered a single thing in your life have you boy. safety is never dropped to cut costs or size. a single lawsuit showing otherwise and the company is ruined.

  14. Re:DNA samples tend to clear the innocent ... on Judge Says, Record DNA of Everyone In the UK · · Score: 1

    Then i hope one day you get to hear the words in court "The defendants DNA was found at the scene..." and by proxy you'll be almost asured of being seen as guilty.

  15. Re:censorship icon on Facebook Exposes Advertisers To Hate Speech · · Score: 1

    I don't think their should be any limits on free speech or thought. because that's what hate crime laws boil down to - an attempt to control how one group feels about another... this besides being totally futile, often incites MORE hatred.

  16. quiting facebook on Facebook Exposes Advertisers To Hate Speech · · Score: 1
    For me to care about you quitting facebook, you'd first have to provide me with something that would make me want you to stay.

    I don't see a single reason to want facebook in the first place, let alone these wankers.

  17. logic is the answer on Why Are So Many Nerds Libertarians? · · Score: 1

    The reason many nerds are libertarian is simple - we like to be logical about things, and we believe in privacy and in small government. We can see both sides of politics use emotive arguments to muddy the waters and cloud the senses and we don't fall for it.

  18. outmoded? on Antique Voyager Technology · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Sounded a lot like penis envy to me. Those engineers in the 70's knew what they were doing, unlike the kids today who breeze past their competency based exams.

    The voyager sats are some of our most successful missions, i'd challenge anyone to do better then their "out modded" systems.

  19. Re:BSD on GPL Hindering Two-Way Code Sharing? · · Score: 1

    err, explain how BSD gives up CONTROL of your code? I think you don't know what the fuck your on about, because you don't get more open and free then a BSD license.

  20. Re:Linux has always had "safe mode". on New Failsafe Graphics Mode For Ubuntu · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's cut and dry. a kernel is NOT an operating system, it only becomes one when userspace is included. that means at a minimum, a shell.

  21. CEO == no clue on 54% of CEOs Dissatisfied With Innovation · · Score: 1
    I've known several CEO's of large companys, not fortune 500 but still multi billion dollar companys all the same. None of them have ever had a clue about how their own company works. But that in itself isn't a huge issue, CEO's aren't there to micro manage things, they are there to set a GENERAL direction, to meet with investors and make business and money decisions. things like R&D need to be approved on a much lower level, a CEO shouldn't even see the budget for R&D, it would just be a line item on a departments budget.

    What i find worrying about this, is that these CEO's seem to think it's part of their job to be in the loop on such small issues.

  22. Re:97% of Innovators Dissastisfied with CEOs on 54% of CEOs Dissatisfied With Innovation · · Score: 1

    huh, since when has there been a lack of companys with insane margins? There's lots of companys with money out there.

    God damn it. Don't they see what happening? everytime you settle with a patent troll, you give birth to a new one. These guys will go away with the big boys would just make mince meat out of a few of them.

  25. Hard choices on Transitioning From Developer To Management? · · Score: 1

    Learn to make hard decisions, even if they make you unpopular. It's what seperates plebs from management, the ability to do unpopular things for the common good.
