  1. Re:Signal on A New Technique Makes GPS Accurate To An Inch (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yes, I know what you mean. I left my home in upstate NY to buy a chalupa at the Taco Bell down the street and ended up in Nova Scotia...

  2. Three Letter Agency response? on A New Technique Makes GPS Accurate To An Inch (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder how the Three Letter Agencies will respond to this? Military GPS has always had access to more accurate coordinates, now anyone can have it? Someone in Maryland is shitting bricks.

  3. I'm not on mobile. I'm a luddite. I have an "old-man" flip phone. Now get off my lawn.

    Slashdot "editor" - and I use that term loosely - BeauHD is new here. Thus we must cut him a limited amount of slack which to hang himself with...

  6. Re:Rumor Mill on Authorities Reportedly Question McAfee's Ex-girlfriend (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    An American was murdered. In all likelihood, McAfee did it. It doesn't matter if it happened in Belize, this is the sort of thing the FBI does for American citizens where ever they are.

  7. Really? Really? on Authorities Reportedly Question McAfee's Ex-girlfriend (networkworld.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    While antivirus software pioneer John McAfee is in the media spotlight for his long-shot Libertarian presidential run...

    I'm sorry, but if he's "in the spotlight" for his presidential run, it's pretty dim, maybe needs a new bulb.

  8. Re:The eventual redefinition of "privacy" and the on Help Crowd-FOIA Stingray Usage Across America · · Score: 1

    All of this is boiling over to what exactly is considered "YOUR" information in the digital age? Nobody seems to be asking this question.

    As a minimum if you don't encrypt it before tossing it out onto unknown public and private networks you don't control, you've already said you don't care who sees / reads / hears / metabolizes your data.

  9. Re:No on Anonymous Files Petition To Make DDoS Legal Form of Protest · · Score: -1, Troll

    I work for a small hosting/cloud provider...

    And that is where I stopped reading. What you really mean is your company resells shared hosting on virtual servers...

    "Flaimbait" or fact? When someone posts a comment that trashes the Jewish State rather than addressing the actual subject of the article, isn't that "flaimbait"?

  11. Maybe Corporate America Should Loose Up the Purse? on Weather Satellites Lose Funding · · Score: 2

    Ham radio enthusiasts have been doing this forever.

    This may be so. But...

    There are a *LOT* of big-time commercial orgs that make use of government funded weather sats. Maybe it's time that some of the Big Money Bags that make bank off of publicly funded things like the National Weather Service started ponying up a little cash-ola?

    Yet another 20-something who believes every little biased bullshit that some anarchist college student with a mission posts on the Interwebs.

    No, that's just you Jew Hatred coming out. Your biased source, such that it is, is not reliable. People like you are no better than the Aryan Nations morons, certainly every bit as biased.

  14. Re:That didn't take long on Industrial Marijuana Farming Approved In Oakland · · Score: 1

    The percentage of people who abuse drugs and behaviors to induce a changed state of mood/feelings is around 10%, regardless of what chemical available.

    Unless you are using for "medical" reasons, isn't "induceing a changed state of mood/feelings" the reason *MOST* people use alcohol and pot?

    So, basically, they have a compost heap in the trunk. Dude, Dr. Emmett Brown has sooooo much "prior art" on this thing.

    When are the psychopaths on Fox News going to take responsibility for getting all the whackos lathered up? No pain, no gain folks! TAKE THE SHOT. There is nothing WRONG with vaccines.

  17. Re:Possible mitigation? on Microsoft Has No Plans To Patch New Flaw · · Score: 1, Troll

    Would you stop that free market bullshit?

    It's ***NOT*** "free market bullshit". It's ***YOU*** taking control of your purchaseing and buying products that work for you, rather than bitching, moaning, and complaining about Microsoft. If you ***LIKE*** to bitch, moan, and complain, I imagine that you are married or getting a divorce. But most people AVOID bitching, moaning, and complaining. So buy stuff that works for you and leave the rest behind. UNLESS you are like RMS, and just like to BITCH MOAN AND COMPLAIGN about Microsoft.

    Excellent idea. In that way, when companies refuse to develop free drivers for GNU/Linux, we won't be able to make our own because the hardware will reject them.

    So what? You're not required to buy or use any particular hardware.

    Raving lunatic extremists of any movement are stupid.

    Sure, of course.

    But we should also be concerned about unintended consequence of genetic engineering. For example there are notable issues with the kinds of genetic engineering going on with plats such as corn and grain. We can debate the health concerns about genetically engineered crops, but there is no question that issues of cross pollen contamination to non-genetically engineered crops is an issue. There is some question about engineered salmon interacting with wild as well. Another example might be the continued vaccine resistant virus strains, and resistance to antibiotics.

    From my perspective the most visible people opposed to genetically modified organisms are the least informed.

    Yes, it is easy to call the people who do not share your view "stupid".

    Guys, it's a KDawson story, which means the "summary" - such that it is - is guaranteed to be misleading and possibly completely wrong.

    I really don't understand the issue: If you willingly radiate an unsecured Wi-Fi signal (or any type of signal), how can you claim a breach of "privacy"? *NOTHING* was "private"!
