  1. Paramaterize SQL? on Google Bots Doing SQL Injection Attacks · · Score: 1

    My god, it's 2013 and where talking about SQL injection? If your not parameterizing your sql, your doing it wrong.

  2. Does it still use Nouveau? on Linux Mint 14 Is Out · · Score: 1

    So can you boot this version with a newish nvidia card? Cause last time I checked, it used nouveau as default, which fails massively for any newer nvidia cards. All I get it a screen with white blocks. Why linux distros insist on using an alpha video card driver to boot the system for the first time is beyond me.

    Doesn't it make sense to use a generic one that will work with everything and then let the person choose to install the alpha one (or propitiatory one)?

  3. Re:Good riddance indeed on Facebook Co-Founder Saverin Gives Up U.S. Citizenship Before IPO · · Score: 1

    Since when is supporting gay marriage and stem cell research "ultra-right wing conservative"? last I checked the Koch brothers seemed to line up more with Ron Paul in ideology, then Rush Limbaugh...David H Koch was a libertarian back in the 80's (just like Ron Paul)...

  4. So that's what Churchhill did... on Squadron of Lost WWII Spitfires To Be Exhumed In Burma · · Score: 1

    with the Spitfires from Demons Run...

  5. Re:Mayans on Leap Second Coming In June, 2012 · · Score: 1

    I thought the timer was perpetually stuck at 5:02 PM on the 22 April, 2011?

  6. Re:Um, the Constitution says "nay" on Senator Wants to Tax Internet Shopping · · Score: 1

    um...if the constitution explicitly allows Congress to regulate inter-state congress. Durbin is a US Senator, and the US Senate is part of Congress...

  7. Re:Surgical implantation of explosives. on Backscatter X-Ray Machines Easily Fooled · · Score: 1

    um...could one not build bluetooth into the bomb and then have a bluetooth enabled cell phone (or iTouch) act as the detonator? What is the TSA going to do then? Ban all cellphones from a flight?

  8. Re:Russian Game: Assistance but Not Participation on Russia To Help NATO Build Anti-Missile Network · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Because everybody knows it is really Vladmir Putin who runs Russia, and is Prime Minister to get around the consecutive term limits, and will run again for the Presidency, and win after Medvedev's term is up...

  9. Re:Wait what? on New York Judge Rules 6-Year-Old Can Be Sued · · Score: 5, Funny

    and then the next thing you know it will be mandatory to buy bike insurance, just like car insurance! Don't tell the Tea Party!

  10. Re:Yes...this will end well on Does the GOP Pay Friendly Bloggers? · · Score: 1
  11. Re:User Account Control on Like Google's Chrome, Mozilla To Silently Update Firefox 4 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Chrome has it's exe in APPDATA, that is how they get around UAC.

  12. Re:Bans on Pakistan Lifts Ban After Facebook Deletes Offending Page · · Score: 1

    A petition will not do a damn thing. You're going to have to threaten to kill people if your demands are not met.

  13. Re:Great step forward on Air Force Sets Date To Fly Mach-6 Scramjet · · Score: 1

    and if they did recover it, they would find a message written in old high gallifreyan on the black box translated as "Hello, Sweetie"

  14. Re:Amazingly non-evil. on Google to Open Source the VP8 Codec · · Score: 1
  15. Re:Yeah, but... on Google to Open Source the VP8 Codec · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unless Google starts using VP8 exclusively for Youtube. How long would it take for VP8 to gain hardware decoding? Hint: Not long.

  16. How long until this is extended to all of OS X? on Steve Jobs Weighs In On iPhone Programming Language Mandate · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So how long until Apple creates an App Store for OS X, and forces Developers to only write Apps in Objective C, under NDA?

  17. Re:And this is why I don't buy Apple on Steve Jobs Weighs In On iPhone Programming Language Mandate · · Score: 1

    Because every Apple store and/or product produces a miniature Reality Distortion Field?

  18. Middle Class gets hammered, not the poor on US Gov't. Ending Its Hands-Off-the-Internet Stance · · Score: 1

    In the US the poor 20% of the population have nothing.

    The poor in the US have Medicare. It's the middle class that gets screwed when they get layed off or fired. COBRA is too expensive to pay for, and they are ineligible for Medicare. If you have a pre-existing condition your even more screwed, as you have to find a job ASAP because no private insurance will cover you. You can't start your own company, because you have a pre-existing condition and no insurance company will touch you.

    If your poor, more importantly if your a young girl in a poverty area, the best way to be provided for is to get pregnant. The goverment opens up it's coffers to support you.

    So it's not the poor who don't have anything, they get covered, it's all about the Middle Class. They get screwed.

  19. Re:false dichotomy on The Difficulty of Dismantling Constellation · · Score: 3, Informative

    Medicare and Social Security are NOT Mentioned in the Constitution, yet the national defense is. If you want to start cutting programs, go for Social Security and Medicare NOT National Defense.

    Now, there are problems with the "Military Industrial Complex" that Eisenhower famously warned us of. Much of NASA's woes come from the boon doggle that are Cost Plus contracts. This is why switching to the COTS program is a big step in the right direction. Companies don't get money until they produce results, they can't just suck at NASA's teat.

  20. DO-178B for Cars on Should I Take Toyota's Software Update? · · Score: 1

    I think where this is ultimately headed is to require DO-178B like testing for Automobiles, just like we require it for Airplanes.

  21. Re:Americans. explain how this is 'free market'. on Motorola Asks ITC To Ban BlackBerry Imports · · Score: 0, Troll

    With raw, uncontrolled capitalism, there would be no patents or copyrights, which means there would be no way for corporations to get the government to be there thugs and stifle competitive efforts.

  22. Re:Oh my dream will come true! on James Cameron On How Avatar Technology Could Keep Actors Young · · Score: 3, Insightful
  23. Re:Bullshit level: High - Storm likely. on Tech Tools Fostering "Mini Generation Gaps" · · Score: 1

    I don't know, the last time I checked, The History Channel is really The 2012 / Nostradamus Channel...I suspect the closer we get to 2012, the more it will become The 2012 channel.

  24. This is what Murdoch needs to do... on Murdoch To Explore Blocking Google Searches · · Score: 1

    So we can sum up this whole thread by giving Murdoch this suggestion:

    User-agent: * Disallow: /

    Maybe /. should start a campaign that barrages news corps sites with that, and then they would get the picture....

  25. Re:MiR? ISS? on Disease May Prevent Manned Journey To Mars · · Score: 1

    438 day is nothing if NASA uses a VASIMIR rocket, previous stories on Slashdot have said they could get there in a 39 days.
