  3. Re-he-he-eally.... on Oregon Woman Sues Yahoo for $3 Million · · Score: 1

    If this lady's main goal was to get the pictures down (in hopes no one would see them), the last thing she should do is sue Yahoo for $3 million. NOW EVERYONE and their dog wants to see these expensive photos.

    Didn't she know Slashdotters would eventually learn of this exciting prOn treasure hunt challenge?

    Gentleman, start your SEARCH ENGINES!!!

    You know, that same thing happened to me at a totally different website last night. I always proofread my comments, so after I clicked 'ok', it totally cutoff like a dozen characters.

    Don't pack lightsaber in carry-on luggage for next airplane trip. One woman's lightsaber is another airport security's pipe bomb.
  8. Re:Image "captchas" are an accessibility nightmare on Star Wars Premier: The Line People · · Score: 1

    Good question. I think a good idea would be to have a link to an .mp3 file that plays a short clip of a voice listing a few letters & numbers with some very rough static in the background. You know, like the picture, but in audio form.

    New invention? It should be a standard option.

    "Let me just say...Cool."
    Your joke was funny. But to make a point I will use another one-worder: Dirty.

    I hope ATI has a nice recycling plan for these video cards. Can't imagine it would be too good for the environment (including us humans) to have these things leaking out liquid metal everywhere.
  11. Re:sad on The Problem with DHS's Plan to 'Buy American' · · Score: 2, Interesting
    "i find it sad that our own government agencies are being forced to buy american because they wouldn't otherwise."
    Rather than call it sad, I'd call it hypocritical. It's proof that the people at the top don't truly believe in 100% free market capitalism, contrary to what all their constituents seem to chant like Republican mantras.

    Guess what companies are going to be making these custom products for DHS? The same companies that spend hundreds of millions of dollars lobbying in Washington to secure US taxpayer money for their contract pipelines.

    People will then yell, "What, do you want DHS to send those contracts to countries overseas?!? Traitor!"

    To which I need not reply, because these are the same people that yell "Free market capitalism!" when people voice concern over the vast amount of products being pumped through Long Beach, CA from China and distributed by the likes of Wal-Mart/Target/etc.

    My point? Anyone please tell me, what makes sense in respect to the future of this country? I'm not so against the Corporate Welfare, but what I am against are the people who say they support that, but not social welfare for the masses. Hypocritical, and corrupt.

    It's like the opposite of Robin Hood: Steal from the poor, give to the rich.
  12. Have the Vogons taken over DHS? on The Problem with DHS's Plan to 'Buy American' · · Score: 1

    Really interesting applications... like maybe, heavily armed "hunter-killers" patrolling around outside NWO prison camps looking for escapees to eviscerate? How about enforcing curfews in (American?) urban streets during martial law after a "terrorist" attack? Gee, how could DARPA possibly find a use for these technologies?

  21. Re:Well spent? Well, that's a matter of opinion... on Military Seeks Approval to Develop Space Weapons · · Score: 2, Insightful
    "So I think the real potential for space weapons is lasers. We've gotten to the point that if you can see it, you can kill it..."
    Actually, putting anything in space as a weapon is not a very dependable weapon for the very reason you say: "...you can see it..."

    When it's in orbit over China, if China doesn't like it, they'll take it out before it becomes operational or after it's first used against them. You don't think China (and USA for that matter) aren't already able to take out anything they want to in orbit?

    What scares me is that space based weapons are only effective if there is no enemy capable of creating counter measures. IN-OTHER-WORDS, 1 world government attempting to control the global population through space based weapons. Once they are up, they are omni-present, quick, and 100% untouchable. You are effectively the Greek god Zeus in the heavens throwing down thunderbolts to the meek below.
