  1. Re:Same Arguments, So Simply Discredit Them on Broadband Rights & the Killer App of 1900 · · Score: 1

    Just what is "just compensation"? The last official appraisal, made by the same local government that uses it to compensate you?

    Nah, I bet it was Grand Theft Auto.

  3. Re:Same Arguments, So Simply Discredit Them on Broadband Rights & the Killer App of 1900 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The government lacks the legitimate moral authority to confiscate an individual's property to provide that property to someone else.

    Tell that to the people who lose their homes through "Eminent Domain" so that Walmarts can be built their places.

  4. First order of business.... on Building a Global Cyber Police Force · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Arrest those pirates! (no, not the ones off the coast of Somalia, since that would make too much sense)

  5. Re:Uses energy but not mass? on How To Build a Quantum Propulsion Machine · · Score: 1

    Unless those quantum effects recharge your energy source, you'll lose mass as you use up energy.

    Hell, a guy in a rowboat will still lose mass as he rows.

  7. Re:Privacy fears on Mozilla Exec Urges Switch From Google To Bing · · Score: 1

    As people that HAVE facebook pages become bosses and managers, they realize to judge people on their professional life, not their personal life - even though the two often intermingle.

    Yes that's what many hippies thought would happen when their generation would become in charge instead of The Man....

    This would've been funnier if either

    1. The submission was not anonymous.
    2. It linked to the actual zine article.

    1. Are you still friends with the writer of the zine? Ask them to send a DMCA notice. Don't know if it would work, but may be worth a shot.

    Could easily backfire through the Streisand Effect.

    Any prospective employer will appreciate the explanation that you gave us.

    That's supposed to be sarcasm, right?

  11. Re:Social networking is not about privacy on Facebook Masks Worse Privacy With New Interface · · Score: 1

    Give me your login and password, and I'll show you "anyone can get that information".

    Your login/password are private, the data is not.

    I'd give you my login/password, but slashdot has code to mask it from everyone who is not me: ********/*******.

    Give it a try!

  12. Re:Time Machine on AT&T Moves Closer To Usage-Based Fees For Data · · Score: 1

    Usage-based billing is just trouble some and doesn't really make sense for the hosting providers either. They pay peering for the bandwidth, not per usage. Allowance is just there arbitrarily limiting the users, so they wouldn't use all the bandwidth they're promised.

    I'm pretty sure most hosting providers limit you for total downloads/month.... That's why so many of the smaller slashdotted sites come up with the "monthly allotment exceeded" type error.

  13. Re:Old on New WoW Patch Brings Cross-Server Instances · · Score: 1

    To be fair, while a steady 30fps is perfectly playable, constantly bouncing between 30fps and 60fps is harder to get used to.

  14. Re:I hate DLC on Pirates as a Marketplace · · Score: 1

    It's like buying the board game Monopoly for 10 bucks, then having the option to buy different colors for the game pieces for a buck. You don't need it, but some people like having the colors.

    In many cases it's like buying Monopoly for 10 bucks, but not being able to buy Boardwalk, Parkplace, or half the railroads without paying extra money. Except you'd easily to bypass this in a boardgame by just rewriting the rules.

    Obviously if you don't want the government to brand you a potential evildoer, you shouldn't enlist to defend it.

    And in at least some cases, they probably actually ARE spies (particularly with freelancers and bloggers with no connection to reputable news organizations).

    Spies are supposed to be inconspicuous and do their best not to draw attention to themselves. If your job is to rile up the public against the government, you might risk being a blogger. If your job is to, well, spy, you'd stay as far away from publicity as you can.

    The Office, 30 Rock, Better of Ted just to name a few. I just hope Comcast doesn't take them off Hulu.

    And if everyone wanted to withdraw their money from the bank, the bank would not have the funds. That's why banks limit clients to withdrawing no more than 10% of their accounts balance per month. Oh wait, NO THEY DO NOT.
