  1. Re:Why stop there? on Tracking Sex Offenders via GPS for Life · · Score: 1

    Comparing convicted criminals to Jews is a bit far out, isn't it?

  2. Re:Why stop there? on Tracking Sex Offenders via GPS for Life · · Score: 1

    If we won't accept life imprisonment or forced neutering of sex offenders who commit their crimes as a result of their supposedly uncontrollable urges, we should track them to keep them from hanging around places where their urges will get the best of them.

  3. Re:Yankee Go Home on U.S. Rejects Canadian Rejection of DMCA · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If that had happened in the 1940s, the US would've demolished Baghdad from above :| Too bad the world's ideas of how war should be carried out has our military's hands tied and forced to stand around getting killed by terrorists instead of going out and killing them.

    We vote for representatives who will stop the queers from marrying each other! You know nothing about our system!

    Well, if Canada does what some Slashdotters advocate and shut off our oil supply, the war declaration will probably be rolling in Congress within 15 minutes of the valve shutting and the latest update to the theoretical "War on Canada" plans will be dusted off and put in motion before Bush can even get a hardon over the thought of becoming "King of Canada".

  6. Re:NAFTA? on U.S. Rejects Canadian Rejection of DMCA · · Score: 1

    Some of us Americans think NAFTA was retarded to begin with. Probably sent us on the road to economic ruin.

    The government is for the people and by the people (haha), so it works out just the same.

    Tell them to quit running to the WTO everytime the US tweaks its trade rules and I'll believe they aren't trying to **** with people's sovereignty every chance they get.

  9. Re:If it was me on Copy-and-Paste Reveals Classified U.S. Documents · · Score: 1

    I imagine they'd be watching over that particular highway since it goes to the airport.

    Time stamped satellite photos said otherwise.

  11. Re:How many times will US fall victim to this? on Copy-and-Paste Reveals Classified U.S. Documents · · Score: 1

    I think the problem might be that they redact the PDF for PRINT and then when someone else loads the electronic version so they can send it off to people, they don't realize that what they're looking at isn't just an image with the stuff painted over but black strips overlaid on top of the complete document :|

  12. Re:Let's play the blame game on Copy-and-Paste Reveals Classified U.S. Documents · · Score: 1

    They didn't expect a roadblock on such a dangerous highway which goes to the airport? WHA?

  13. Re:accident on Copy-and-Paste Reveals Classified U.S. Documents · · Score: 1

    Satellite photos show that they were going 60+ mph at the time. The soldiers were trained just fine. The fact that they shot the car up instead of screaming their heads off cause it MIGHT not be a hostile is evidence of that.

  14. Re:Congratulations, you are a great example on Copy-and-Paste Reveals Classified U.S. Documents · · Score: 5, Informative

    Satellite photos with time differentials show that the car *must* have been going an average of 60+ mph to cover the distance it had covered between photos. Some of the papers were leaving that bit out of their stories (LA Times for example).

  15. Re:If it was me on Copy-and-Paste Reveals Classified U.S. Documents · · Score: 1

    Which explains why satellite photos show they were driving at speeds in excess of 60 mph toward the soldiers as if they were going to a) run through the check point or b) were going to bomb the soldiers. I don't care if they had a neon sign on the car, the US soldiers couldn't be guaranteed it was really them in that particular car. I would think they'd slow down if they knew they were heading toward troops who were accustomed to being attacked probably daily.

  17. Re:What! The Street loved the results on Microsoft Misses Quarterly Revenue Projection · · Score: 1

    I will put it this way: Growth is easier if you haven't already gotten really really big. I don't think MS has stagnated as much as they've hit the wall in terms of their share of their major markets (desktops, office suites etc). Now it's time for them to branch out (become PROFITABLE in video game consoles, new applications of PC tech like smart phones and tablets) and really become solid in the server market (they're not really weak there but could use some more market share). Though I don't really trust those Apache vs IIS stats that get thrown around on Slashdot...

    I suppose it depends on whether the legal system realizes that 4 years of being sodomized by rapists and murders is cruel and unusual for uploading files on the internet.

    If you base your choice of a new computer on whether you can use mostly useless raw sockets, you got problems, sir.

  20. Re:Wow! Longhorn will do what Linux distros do now on Longhorn Beta is Disappointing · · Score: 1

    Windows XP already does it for some images and it apparently does it with PDF files (at least for me). I think it's just an expansion of something they've been trying to do for a while so it's exactly copying.

  21. Re:Change much? on Longhorn Beta is Disappointing · · Score: 1

    That's odd since Windows XP has replaced those icons since pre-release. Maybe they didn't have the right icon in this build or something. Possibly a bug since I think they still include the icons in XP and evidently LH.

  22. Re:Shadows in the shadow world on Longhorn Beta is Disappointing · · Score: 1

    Unless what we're seeing is the low-end crap hardware UI and DirectX 9 graphics equipped machines will get a really great whiz-bang interface when MS stops hiding it for fear of copying (or whatever their reason).

  23. Re:No Problem on Can an Open Source Project Be Acquired? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    And what happens when the lead developer only works on the closed version? Realisticly, most open source projects will die off if the core dev(s) stop working on it. The forking idea is a fantasy for anything other than the most important/popular projects like X.org/XFree86.

    MSN is probably downranking Apache because it's what most useless POS sites that are clogging up Google with bullshit are using.

  25. Re:Send in the Clones! on White House: No Kerry Supporters at IATC Meeting · · Score: 1

    If the system worked the way it was supposed to, Bush wouldn't even make a decision on Enron because the DOJ or whatever other agencies would've been reeming them before Bush even realized what was going on.
