  1. Re:How does the petition work? on White House Petition To Investigate Dodd For Bribery · · Score: 1

    It should record it by login. If someone who uses your computer has a login for Whitehouse.gov left themself logged in you might have been under their account.

  2. Re:Party affiliation missing from summary on White House Petition To Investigate Dodd For Bribery · · Score: 1

    I don't believe in including party affiliation next to people's names, especially former Senators. I assume you either know what party they were from if you care, or are going to just look it up on google (difficulty level: trivial). Putting little letters for party next to people's names encourages lazy mental habits.

    I think they have a cookie problem.

    I won't leave him alone unless you post a video of yourself sobbing and bawling about it on youtube.

    Toe the line?
    Surely you mean tow!

    something strange is afoot...

    Thanks for the laugh. But yeah, you toe the line, as in step up to it. Where would you tow the line to?

  7. Re:Magic Disappering (D) on White House Petition To Investigate Dodd For Bribery · · Score: 1

    I don't believe in putting party affiliation next to people's names like that. It encourages mental laziness.

  8. Re:Issues with the whitehose.gov website. on White House Petition To Investigate Dodd For Bribery · · Score: 1

    I believe clearing cookies fixes this problem but haven't had a chance to test it myself. I've had similar problems and went through three browsers before I got it to accept my login.

  9. Re:That's odd on White House Petition To Investigate Dodd For Bribery · · Score: 1

    I had similar problems posting it in the first place, and was eventually able to get it to work by using IE. I think it's a problem in their login token cookie and might be fixed by clearing cache/cookies?

  10. Re:Losers on White House Petition To Investigate Dodd For Bribery · · Score: 1

    I've seen a lot of comments of people having problems with various browsers creating accounts or actually voting. I myself had problems posting the petition in the first place and ended up having to actually launch IE, which I normally only do for Netflix. They definitely have some bugs in their registration process/login token cookie.

    You pretty much nailed exactly why I created the petition. Thanks.

    As signature #1, thanks for signing it. I hope you shared it out to your friends too :)

  13. Re:work an election before you tout pen and paper. on 7000 e-Voting Machines Now Deemed Worthless By Irish Government · · Score: 1

    Electronically filled out optically scanned human readable ballots are the obvious answer to the problems electronic voting was supposed to solve while preventing the kinds of abuses and vote theft that are happening with the current system.

  14. Re:Go! on Anonymous Hacks US Think Tank Stratfor · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, to be honest Stratfor is pretty neocon/right wing and their coverage tends to more often than not somehow support warmongers with their narrative voice.

    You mean this isn't an original piece from one of Slashdot's crack team of reporters?!

  17. Re:I don't think you understood that. on The Future of Protest In Panopticon Nation · · Score: 1

    The problem with using agents like that these days is that THEY are on film too, and part of the reaction is to identify who the people in photos are. If those people are public employees (police, etc) they'll be crowdsource IDed in a few days and then the whole scheme unravels.

    It's mostly wrong is the problem. :)

  20. Re:2 people agreeing is news? on Technical Glitch Lets Reporters Eavesdrop On Obama, Sarkozy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The real news that everyone seems to be missing is the part where Obama says, "I have to talk to him every day."

    Why is the President of a country as large and powerful as the US talking to the leader of Israel that often? (I'm sure he didn't mean literally every day, but obviously more than once or twice a week)

  21. Re:All worked up over a 5.6? on Oklahoma Hit By Its Strongest-Ever Recorded Quake · · Score: 1

    Uh, how about a quake felt as far away as Texas, which doesn't have noticable earthquakes. The first time I've ever felt an earthquake was during this event last night, here in North Texas.

    I don't know what the problem is officer. I've stabbed lots of people with a pin before and it never caused any problems.
    Sure, I stabbed this one guy 150,000 times, but all I did was poke him with a pin!

    Oh shit, where are my mod points when I need them? I haven't laughed out loud at a slashdot comment in a long time.

  25. Re:I don't get it on 3D Printer For Your Kids · · Score: 2

    It is physically impossible to print a kid so either the poster is really stupid or they made a joke. I'd say they did the latter.

    Really? Most women I know have a 3D human printer that comes factory installed. Most of them even work, theoretically. I haven't tested this theory, which is why I can actually afford the toy printer discussed in the article.
