  1. Re:And what exactly is an 'ethical' Android phone? on Planned Sequel To Fairphone Promises an Ethical, Repairable Phone · · Score: 1

    No deal. I've already got another offer that includes a bunch of virgin women.

  2. Re: Same thing only different on Privately Owned Armored Trucks Raise Eyebrows After Dallas Attack · · Score: 1

    The only solution is to remove the problem...the laws. We don't need any fricking boundaries. Enlightened self-interest will have everyone doing the right thing.

    It works for the whole investment industry, it can work for everyone.

  3. Re:And you all still don't need it on Google Pulling Back the Veil On Its Custom-Built Data Centers · · Score: 1

    Upload your data to both Google and Amazon! They'll fix you, but good.

  4. Re: Of course not. on Russian Official Calls For "International Investigation" of the Apollo Program · · Score: 3, Insightful

    He loves football, but has really tender feet. That's why he lives on Endor.

  5. Re:You mean NEOs like Russia? on Should Nuclear Devices Be Kept On Hand To Protect Against Near Earth Objects? · · Score: 2

    We have to put Bruce Willis in cryostasis right now if we want to have any chance of properly positioning the warheads inside the NEO when the time comes.

  6. Re: Remote? In Massachusetts? on Remote Massachusetts Towns Welcome Broadband's Arrival · · Score: 1

    Yes. Comcast and Verizon would flip out if, instead of paying a private company to do it, the towns did it themselves [regardless of whether Verizon or Comcast was ever interested in providing service there].

  7. Re:Back Doors Are Like Anal Sex on US Lawmakers Demand Federal Encryption Requirements After OPM Hack · · Score: 1

    No, they only want to outlaw encryption for individuals. Corporations and the gov't all must use the most powerful, unbackdoored encryption possible. And, of course, all devices used by politicians must not have backdoors either.

    Politicians hate being backdoored.

    But they don't mind it if everyone else gets backdoored. If they can at least watch, if not actually participate.

  8. Re:Clearly the solution is to ban basketball. on The Words That Indicate Malicious Domain URLs · · Score: 1

    Just another Canadian LIE!

  9. Re:Remote? In Massachusetts? on Remote Massachusetts Towns Welcome Broadband's Arrival · · Score: 1

    Obviously, this can only be legal because the gov't is paying a private company to provide the service.

  10. Re:Point was made but wrong on CDC: Americans Getting Heavier, Average Woman Weighs As Much As 1960s Man · · Score: 0

    Thankfully, I'm 45, 6'5" and 260 lbs, so I can crush all you puny humans.

  11. Re:I love Facebook. on Belgian Privacy Watchdog Sues Facebook · · Score: 2

    By turning your computer off.

    Millions of people don't use Facebook, and Facebook ignores their privacy and rents their information to whomever gives them a dollar.

  12. Re:Why would the festival cooperate? on Police Scanning Every Face At UK Download Festival · · Score: 1

    The article isn't about the cops looking for pickpockets working the crowd. They are using facial recognition to try to find people suspected of crimes.

    Of course, it is likely they didn't bother going to their last known address....too much work.

  13. Re:systemd compatibility on Ask Slashdot: Feature Requests For Epoch Init System 1.3.0? · · Score: 1

    Maybe he could integrate the code into systemd? Then it would use the standard service file format.

  14. Re:How do you know? on Report: Russia and China Crack Encrypted Snowden Files · · Score: 2

    You need to go up the food chain. "Anything anyone related to a gov't says should be considered a lie until proven true. It's in their job description."

  15. Re:Medium.com on Past a Certain Critical Temperature, the Universe Will Be Destroyed · · Score: 1

    but we should feel more guilty, as we are directly causing the death of the universe.

  16. Re:Some policies must have a "national" consensus on Trade Bill Fails In the House · · Score: 1

    You mean the bribes being spread out among 435 congressmen and 100 senators is somehow better than just a president and some of his "advisors"? And I'm ignoring the whole thing that has been particularly bad while Obama has been President of the Republican party voting against anything that the President is for.

  17. Re:I wish I still had mine on Commodore PC Still Controls Heat and A/C At 19 Michigan Public Schools · · Score: 1

    OMG Yes. What was especially fun was entering one of those multi-page hex dumps of a game, which included a checksum to make sure you entered each line correctly...but you could occasionally enter the line incorrectly but the checksum wouldn't catch it. So you had to go through the entire program and visually match every single byte with the magazine's listing.

  18. Re:so trade bills on Trade Bill Fails In the House · · Score: 1

    Yes. Congress is MUCH more responsible with the use of their power than the President is.

  19. Re:Causes on EMP on Ex-CIA Director: We're Not Doing Nearly Enough To Protect Against the EMP Threat · · Score: 1

    Exactly. A small amount of dynamite or a pipe bomb at various transformers can take out huge swathes of the electric grid, and replacing them could take months for new ones to be made. And it doesn't just damage the transformer you blow up, but can also fatally damage the transformers that are connected to it as well.

    And even if you physically protect the transformer stations, taking out the powerlines connecting them can result in power spikes that do the same thing

    And it's not like there are anything like guards around these stations, nor at they hidden in any way [just follow the large powerlines which typically are along highways to where the stations are].

  20. Re:To all you Obama supporters on White House Asks FISA Court To Ignore 2nd Circuit's Decision On Bulk Surveillance · · Score: 1

    Stupid public court precendents don't apply to our super-secret court!

  21. Re:An honorable sense of tradition... on Congress: We Didn't Know the FBI Was Creating a Small Surveillance 'Air Force' · · Score: 1

    Just checking to make sure nobody else is following you around everywhere.

  23. Re:Wow such future on G7 Vows To Phase Out Fossil Fuels By 2100 · · Score: 2

    no, but we'll start working on it right after fossil fuels are completely phased out.

  24. Re:Sure, just upload something to my phone on A Music-Sharing Network For the Unconnected · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter who wrote or performed it, they want their cut.

  25. Re:Sure, just upload something to my phone on A Music-Sharing Network For the Unconnected · · Score: 1

    This guy is teaching them to pirate music. He must be killed immediately. The RIAA has a contractor on speed-dial.
