  1. US dmca my.... on The Fallout From a Flickr DMCA Takedown · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, what?
    Shouldn't Flickr repost? what?
    why the f... didn't they just # out the post and related data, and then re-instate it?
    and why oh why does this s#it even effect anything outside the legal bounds of the US?

  2. Re:It's a cheat. on A Few Million Monkeys Finish Recreating Shakespeare's Works · · Score: 1

    It could also be taken as the monkeys are smarter than people, as a few million monkeys have produced what a few billion homo sapiens (I use the term loosely) haven't been able to do on the intertubes...

  3. Re:Google+ on Google Adds Games To Google+ · · Score: 1

    I rather don't have everything about me known by a single company, so I like to use Facebook much more than let Google know all my personal details, my friends, my web searches, my YouTube views, my emails and every site I visit on the internet

    Oh believe me, Zuckerberg's no slouch when it comes to tracking facebook users.

  4. Zumba? on 3D Hacking Environment Links Kinect, Blender, and Metasploit · · Score: 1

    "3D Hacking Environment Links Kinect, Blender, and Metasploit"....and Zumba!

    So now I can "hack" like a scriptkiddie, while playing 'Dance Dance Revolution'?
    come to think of it, my 7 Year old goddaughter would probably be a better "hacker" than me, if it comes to this.

    The positive sideeffect is that the scriptkiddies soon will have the physique to run from the cops/feds.
    "news at eleven: Hackers fitter than jocks!" (still can't catch a fuusball, though)

  5. bye bye, then... on Reaction To Diablo 3's Always-Online Requirement · · Score: 4

    No singleplayer offline?
    no money from me, then...
    I don't really have a lack of connection options, I work for an ISP, I have broadband, I have 3G dongle I can use in my laptop, I even have a 'Droid phone i can get data through, should i have forgotten my 3G dongle...
    Heck, in about a 1/3 of the commuter trains there's free wifi!

    Don't change a thing.
    Blizzard's bad gamedesign/need to snoop on my gaming sessions/me finding myself in an area without coverage is going to ensure that i will 'vote with my dollar' so to speak, and my vote goes to the company that makes a game playable for me, where ever I am.

    If I choose to do a 'Kaczynski' and do my singleplayer gaming from a remote cabin in Wisconsin, it's my choice, not Blizzards.

  6. Re:US dollars? on Copycat "hiPhone 5" Surfaces In China · · Score: 1

    About 2.7108535 grams of gold.
    Oh. yeah... American...

  7. right... more bribable organisations on Why Public Email Needs a Police Force · · Score: 1

    yeah... no.
    We don't need an internet police, another organisation susceptible to politic bickering, bribes, ect.
    What we need is a better, more secure way of handling certain types of traffic.

  8. Re:Scum or average businessman? on James Murdoch's Defense Crumbles · · Score: 3, Funny

    for the average geek out there, he's the J Jonah Jameson to our collective Spiderman selves...

  9. what about the root servers? on Security Consultants Warn About PROTECT-IP Act · · Score: 1

    I'm worried about the 'regular' DNS servers out there, sure, but what scares the crap out of me is the root servers.
    If this act will require tampering on the root servers, we're all f*cked.

    as to the normal DNS blocking, Denmark has had this for a few years, and it's a travesty, innocent domains land on the filter list all the time, and it's virtually impossible to get off it, and the list isn't public, so you're forced to all kinds of shenanigans to find out if you ARE on there or not.

  10. Monkey == Photographer on Can a Monkey Get a Copyright & Issue a Takedown? · · Score: 1

    "if anyone did, the monkeys had the best claim, and certainly not the photographer."

    The monkey IS the photographer!
    IANA(Copyright)L, but does the law specify that the copyright-holder has to be human?
    If not, the takedown notice would be fraudulent, as it's not the monkey or the legal guardian (owner?) issuing the takedown, but the owner of the camera?

    Techdirt, however, is on rickety ground with their fair use, unless all copyright claims are disproved by all mammals?

  11. Re:Not Economically Feasible on DOJ Could Ban Texas Flights Over Anti-Patdown Law · · Score: 1

    Texas should play their game and call their bluff.

    Yup, since the groping & scanning only happens in the US, they'd have to ban all international flights as well.
    I guess that would make TX the only state open to international flights?

  12. Re:This doesn't sound like Texas politics... on DOJ Could Ban Texas Flights Over Anti-Patdown Law · · Score: 1

    They would have to ban international flights as well, since pedobear fondling & Xray scanners aren't used in the rest of the world.
    Hell, most countries in EU would would arrest you for sexual assault, and the scanners would require properly trained medical personnel (fully trained nurses) to operate them.

  13. nerwork interface... on A $25 PC On a USB Stick · · Score: 2

    throw in a network interface, and I'll buy enough for a beowulf cluster.

  14. Re:Forget the intelligence on 'Motherlode' of Data Seized At Bin Laden Compound · · Score: 1

    well, if he's been watching Showgirls, it stands to reason he'd want to destroy Hollywood, at least...

  15. Re:Can you imagine what's on Osama's hard drive? on 'Motherlode' of Data Seized At Bin Laden Compound · · Score: 1

    how about Donald Trump's real birth certificate?

  16. Re:That's a really short list. on Australia Ranked Fourth In Internet Freedom · · Score: 1

    and no Denmark, with their mandatory CP-blocking list (that's privately run) and DNS-blocking of whatever the local version of *AA don't like.

    Top Gear is for cars, what Slashdot is for tech.

  19. hmm... on Scientist Says NASA Must Study Space Sex · · Score: 1

    I guess I wouldn't mind being the progenitor of a new species...
    also, it would get me out of my mom's basement, and most likely result in meeting girls?

    Sucky part is, I guess they don't have fiber-interweb-tubes on Mars?

  20. Re:What grounds? on Assange Could Face Execution Or Guantanamo Bay · · Score: 1

    What PP means is that after 9/11 certain laws were passed, and enacted, so that it became somewhat legal for the US Government to bypass certain laws regarding your rights as a person and treatment of said person.

  21. Re:What grounds? on Assange Could Face Execution Or Guantanamo Bay · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's like efficient cooling of your computer,
    putting a baseball cap on the right way is like overclocking your brain.

    ...that if he is sent to the USA he will likely be dipped in peanut butter, and dropped in a pen full of grizzly bears

    The Peanut butter I can relate to, but does he have to be in an episode of the Palins show? That's just cruel and unusual punishment!

  23. yup on Record Labels To Pay For Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    yup.
    Karma's a bitch.
    Too bad they didn't go for the same % amount as when the industry sues the other way.

    But then again, the industry would just have declared bankruptcy and reformed a little differently again.

    Worry not, their spindoctors will make this out to be a positive thing, and something in no way copyrights related.
    Also, watch out for "music price regulations" in CN soon.

    Aah, but then the security and legality of his pictures is irrelevant to him, as Facebook now owns them, he doesn't anymore.
