  1. Re:Linux Users Not Invited on 3D Helicopter View Added To Google Maps · · Score: 2

    and during the Year of the Linux Desktop. What a shame.

  2. Re:SNYF: situation normal; you're fucked on Patent Attorney Breaks Down Impact of the America Invents Act · · Score: 1

    well you're right. I mean, one party loses, but still has 50% control... and we wonder why nothing ever gets done. It's time to make government more local and less global. Let the people decide how they want to exist. And seriously, other than for profit, all this patent nonsense is holding the human race back. Innovation will most certainly continue even if patents cease to exist. It's called academia!

  3. huh? on Arduino Goes ARM · · Score: 1

    What the heck is Arduino?

  4. applied to music on Why Star Wars Should be Left to the Fans · · Score: 1

    i disagree... As a musician, I consider songs I've created as belonging more to me than the people who listen to them. If I want to remix or changed an old song and rerelease it, I will. The originals were still distributed so I'm not holding anything back. And if someone asked me to give him an older version of a track, I might not be inclined to do so, simply because my vision is the new version and that's all I can stand by. If you don't like what Lucas is doing with the new versions, that's fine. He's no obligated to do or not do anything based on what you or anyone else wants. Art in this case isn't just expression, it's hard work, long hours and massive investment. These are not things you can take lightly or ever hoped to be in control of unless you're the one making it all happen.

  5. Are you kidding? on US House 'Creator' of TSA Wants To Kill It · · Score: 1

    It'd be the least expensive colonoscopy you could ever possibly find in the US!

  6. sheesh on Anti-Rootkit Security Beyond the OS · · Score: 2

    why can't people just stop allowing themselves to be tricked. Trust the internet like you'd trust any stranger and you'll be OK.

  7. ummm on Scientists Plan "Artificial Volcano" Climate Experiment · · Score: 1

    should we really be messing with mechanics we can't even pretend to understand yet? This sounds like an idea that could have catastrophic consequences.

  8. Re:Doesn't need to be ionizing to have an effect on "Wi-Fi Refugees" Shelter in West Virginia Mountains · · Score: 1

    Isn't it more likely that those people were allergic to the metal?

  9. Re:Probably inevitable, regardless of who's in pow on UK Government Wants Google To Police Copyright · · Score: 1

    What is Inevitable is all these self-ish, money hoarding and progress inhibiting ways going the way of the horse and carriage. How can we find a balance with our planet and with each other if our primary form of trade involves striving to screw everyone else out of their money?

  10. Apple offers... on Ask Slashdot: Network Backup Solution Out of the Box? · · Score: 1

    Time Machine and Time Capsule

  11. major advantage on Why the Fax Machine Refuses To Die · · Score: 1

    A fax machine is tangible and it has a set number that for most situations refers to that specific fax machine based on where it is. The problem with email, other than security and privacy, is that it's generally associated with a person as opposed to a place, and people aren't as reliable as fax machines.

  12. Re:Apple markets them as on Did Apple Impersonate Police To Recover the Lost iPhone 5? · · Score: 1

    Pigs may not still be able to fly, but they are wireless!

  13. what about distortion? on UCLA Develops Stretchable OLED Display · · Score: 0

    They expect us to believe this won't be an issue? That's a stretch...

  14. software patents on Novell Wins Against SCO Again · · Score: 1, Insightful

    really need to die.

  15. duh on Cancer Cured By HIV · · Score: 1

    you can't have cancer if you're dead!

  16. Just like the Patriot Act on ISPs Will Now Be Copyright Cops · · Score: 1

    Big brother just got a lot bigger (and hey he's in debt!)

  17. Re:Up next on Monitor Household Energy From Your Smartphone · · Score: 1

    Then we'll make an app that will monitor the monitor monitoring apps so that we don't have to!

  18. in a galaxy far away on First Observational Test of the "Multiverse" · · Score: 1

    I'm way ahead of you.

  19. how about stopping the attack before it starts. on Microsoft To Pay $200k Prize For New Security Tech · · Score: 1

    Option 1: Disable network connection. Now you can only hack yourself. Option 2: Nuke the world; cockroaches can't hack. Nobody, no problem. Please send the money to the address in my profile. Thx.

  20. sorry, on The Epidemic of Digital Distraction · · Score: 1

    could you repeat that?

  21. Re:I could be wrong but... on IBM To Unveil Secure Open Wireless At Black Hat · · Score: 1

    Just as you guessed, you're wrong.

  22. Re:Only one way to fix this on Yet Another "People Plug In Strange USB Sticks" Story · · Score: 1

    The difference is that this 'wallet' will have been placed there specifically to spray you in the face with mace. So yes.

  23. Re:Just gonna take a picture? on Treasure Hunter Wants To Find Bin Laden's Body With ROV · · Score: 1

    If Osama's dead body is used for a suicide bombing... does that still count?

  24. I'm a geek on Is There a New Geek Anti-Intellectualism? · · Score: 1

    and let me think about that...

  25. This will work! on Solar Powered Laptops · · Score: 2

    Because Laptop screens are SO awesome in direct sunlight and everyone uses computers outside!
