  1. Re:cops on Cops Play Wii During Undercover Drug Raid · · Score: 1

    No, I've never been arrested. Actually, I've heard cops say similar things - "oh you must have been on the end of charge"...

  2. cops on Cops Play Wii During Undercover Drug Raid · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think most people realize that cops are just bullies fulfilling their dream of getting paid to be a bully.

    Not only that, but anyone willing to ruin someone's life over a little pot (like these cops) has a serious lack of ethics.

  3. Creepiest sci-fi corridor on In Praise of the Sci-fi Corridor · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Event Horizon! Can you imagine trying to walk down that hall with the walls spinning around you?

    Of course, maybe Event Horizon doesn't actually qualify as science fiction.

  4. Re:The Next Internet? on Military To Spend $42M To Build Advanced Network Control · · Score: 1

    the traffic prioritization thing seems ripe for abuse

  5. strategy on Disney Buys Marvel For $4B · · Score: 1

    Building on its strategy of delivering quality branded content to people around the world

    that's a stupid strategy. what a dumb idea. It reminds me of Mr Burns - "Strawberry - hit a home run!"

  6. Re:Weird phrase on Goldman Sachs Code Theft Not Quite So Cut and Dried · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wow, that's a good piece of info. You know of a case where the police did that?

    Never let the cops use your toilet.

  7. Eircom alternatives on Irish ISP To Block Access To Pirate Bay · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Does Eircom have competitors that subscribers can switch to, or is it like the "free market" United States, where many of us only have one choice for broadband access?

  8. as if law enforcement cares on Writing Style Fingerprint Tool Easily Fooled · · Score: 2

    "We would strongly suggest that courts examine their methods of stylometry against the possibility of adversarial attacks,' say the researchers."

    Of course, this assumes that law enforcement actually cares about the guilt or innocence of the people they convict. They don't. They only care about putting as many people in prison as they can.

  9. Andreessen on Netscape Founder Backs New Browser · · Score: 1

    Andreessen's problem with Netscape is that the people who wrote it were too old. No vision.

  10. Colony Collapse Disorder on Gardeners Told to Give Exhausted Bees an Energy Drink · · Score: 3, Informative

    Is Britain having the same problem the US is with CCD?

      I talked to a guy that sells honey at the local farmer's market, and this past year was the first time in 15 years that he actually had to purchase more bees because he'd lost over 90% of his hives to CCD.

    Anyhow, the symptoms described in the article sort of sounded like CCD, although I've never seen it, just had it described to me.

     

  11. Re:China - one child not true? on China's Response To the Internet Addiction Death · · Score: 1

    ok, that was extremely funny, but the caption also says that it was his 6 year old sister.

  12. Old world monkey on Prehistoric Gene Reawakened To Battle HIV · · Score: 1

    what is an 'old world' monkey?

  13. Twitter website or API on Twitter Offline Due To DDoS · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I don't need 140 characters to say

    FUCK YOU, Twitter

    hey isn't it just the twitter website that's down? Apps using the twitter API seem to be doing just fine

  14. Re:The cops that arrested him must be proud on California Student Arrested For Console Hacking · · Score: 5, Insightful

    they're trying to put a kid away for ten years of his life for tinkering with a console. I'd say the moral wrongness of that is quite clear.

  15. The cops that arrested him must be proud on California Student Arrested For Console Hacking · · Score: 2, Insightful

    oh right, they're just "doing their job"

  16. Re:Oh, Those Dumb Police Officers! on First Ever Criminal Arrest For Domain Name Theft · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Bingo.

    Anyone who would go to work everyday and put pot smokers in jail, use a taser on people without knowing if they have a heart condition (and you'll notice they're now using tasers on people who don't follow their instructions fast enough instead of people who pose a threat), and enforce the fucked up laws we have in the United States is a stupid, fascist pig. You are correct.

  17. Old fashioned attitudes on The Rise of the Digital Nomad · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Am I the only one with an employer that has the attitude "If I can't see you working, you aren't working"?

    In fact, the last few companies I've worked at have been like that. Maybe I've just been unlucky, but "working from home" hasn't been an option at any point in my career.

  18. Re:Really? on 100 Things Your Kids May Never Know About · · Score: 1

    plus, roller derby is back, and they don't do inline.

  19. Diving boards? on 100 Things Your Kids May Never Know About · · Score: 1

    87 Swimming pools with diving boards.

    Swimming pools don't have diving boards anymore? When the hell did that happen?

  20. Re:Standard Practices on Critical Flaw Discovered In DD-WRT · · Score: 2, Interesting

    coming from the internet, but executed from YOUR browser. That's the danger they're talking about.

  21. Re:Standard Practices on Critical Flaw Discovered In DD-WRT · · Score: 4, Informative

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but if the exploit is "injected from inside the browser" then won't the management of the device be coming from the local interface, not the internet side?

  22. slashdot demographics on Want to Eat Chocolate Every Day For a Year? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm sure the post-menopausal, type-2 diabetic woman that regularly reads slashdot appreciates knowing about this study.

  23. Re:the guys name on Lawyer Jailed For Contempt Is Freed After 14 Years · · Score: 1

    I was trying to be funny.

  24. the guys name on Lawyer Jailed For Contempt Is Freed After 14 Years · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Was "H Beatty Chadwick" - that's a wealthy, old money name if I've ever heard one. He's got the money.

  25. Won't steal bricks? on Company Equips Buses With Emergency Bricks · · Score: 1

    We don't think anybody will be interested in stealing bricks

    Think again. People will steal them just because you think people won't be interested in stealing them.
