  1. you know what this means.... on Kevlar Protects Cables From Sharks, Experts Look For Protection From Shark Week · · Score: 2

    looks like shark week has jumped the shark

  2. Re:Well... on Bradley Manning Sentenced To 35 Years · · Score: 1

    Easy for you to say, you're not the one sitting in a cell for the next 11.5-35 years of your life.

  3. blocking the internet porn is just the beginning.. on British Prime Minister To Announce Porn Blocking Plans · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Start by blocking the internet porn, for the kids of course. A few years pass. Then block anything that could be deemed hate speech or offensive. Again for the kids. Govt bonus: have FBI/CIA/NSA secretly setup proxies and track people who use them to bypass the block. A few years pass. Next block anything from countries that might be unfriendly towards us, national security, nothing to see here move along. Govt bonus: have FBI/CIA/NSA secretly setup proxies and track people who use them to bypass the block. A few years pass. Start making it harder to opt in for porn, maybe even make users pay for access or a data plan that allows porn. Govt bonus: big list of people who want porn.

  4. wouldn't surprise me on Predator Drone 'Virus' Could Be Military's Own Monitoring · · Score: 1

    Left hand meet right hand.

  5. but the govt would never spy on avg citizens.. on Big Brother Calls 'Shotgun' In Illinois · · Score: 1

    i'm sure they wont turn the camera on unless you report the car stolen or the govt subpoenas video evidence of something.

  6. lazy parents to blame? on The Chemical-Free Chemistry Kit · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's just me but my first thought was this sounds like some parents didn't want to have to supervise their kids while the kids used the chem set. Rather than suck it up and supervise them or not buy it in the first place they complain until it gets changed.

  7. decline in music downloads is due to on P2P Music Downloads At All-Time Low · · Score: 1

    I bet the decline in music downloads is due to crappy quality of new music that isn't even worth pirating.

  8. Re:When this happens to the US or its allies on New York Times Reports US and Israel Behind Stuxnet · · Score: 1

    Not really, the US military wiped the Iraq military off the map easily, it was the occupation and insurgency that caused problems. I bet Egypt, Syria and Jordan thought they'd do just fine too when they attacked Israel.

  9. Re:Fucking scum on Crookes, RIAA, MPAA, ICE — 'Linking Is Publishing' · · Score: 2

    Anytime you want, just make sure you have the RIAA's and MPAA's lawyers backing you up.

  10. Re:"Sex crimes" on Interpol Issues Wanted Notice For Julian Assange · · Score: 5, Informative

    lol no QFTA "The investigation stems from separate encounters Assange had with two women during his August visit to Sweden, where he was applying for Swedish residency and attempting to secure the protection of Swedish free-press laws for his secret-spilling website. According to local news reports, the women told investigators the sexual encounters began as consensual, but turned non-consensual. One woman said Assange ignored her appeals to stop when the condom broke."

  11. Re:Native features in browser on How the Mozilla Sniffer Backdoor Was Discovered · · Score: 1

    I agree, my only hope is that by using a hugely popular open source browser (firefox) that hundreds of people much smarter than me have poked around inside it to make sure it isn't laced with malware and if something is found it's fixed/posted on popular sites or whatever to warn others. Addons however are more risky since not all addons are used/inspected by everyone obviously.

  12. good for the professors on Professors Banning Laptops In the Lecture Hall · · Score: 1

    Good for the teachers, it's their classroom so if they don't want computers it's their call and it's not like they don't tell the students on the first day of class what their policies are either verbally or in the syllabus. You don't like their rules drop the class and add a new one. Or do what one of my profs did and make all laptop users sit in the front row so when she's wandering around lecturing it's easy for her to see what the students are up to.

  13. Re:The Lightning is no replacement for the Raptor on F-22 Raptor Cancelled · · Score: 1

    Huh? I hope you were being sarcastic. From TFA. "The amendment to halt the plane's production was co-sponsored by Sens. Carl Levin, D-Mich., and John McCain, R-Ariz. McCain, who has never been an F-22 fan, went so far as to quote at some length President Dwight Eisenhower's farewell address, which warned of the "military-industrial complex," though McCain noted that the proper phrase should be the "military-industrial-congressional complex."" Anyway, thanks for playing, come again.

  14. Re:Disparity on RIAA Writes Its Own News For Local TV · · Score: 5, Funny

    No, they meant pirate music. "Pirate music sounds atrocious." Have you ever heard pirates sing? It's not good.

  15. theft on Bank on Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    i for one look forward to someone stealing my bank login or account info from my phone when i forget to turn off bluetooth and/or my wifi connection.

  16. hmmm on CIA Investing in Modular Green Energy · · Score: 2, Funny

    "The devices uses off-the-shelf components and easily swappable parts to be cost-effective." Ddunno about you guys but the gov't\cia being involved in something that is easy and cost afective sounds too good to be true.

  17. sigh on The Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security · · Score: 1

    I'm not going to read all the coments to see if someone has already said this. Yes MS OSs have issues with viruses and other security holes but if the MAC OS or *nix was the huge commonly used OS it would have the same problems so please get of the MS bashing bandwagon. Disagree all you want but you either know deep down inside it's true or you're too ignorant/cocky/stuborn to admit that your favorite OS isn't perfect. Everyone knows it would be a waste of time to write a worm/virus for such a small number of computers.

  18. EARTH FIRST.... on Planet Discovered with a Massive Core · · Score: 1

    Earth First, we'll stripmine the other planets later.

  19. comcast cable on PC World's ISP Service Rankings, as of June 2005 · · Score: 1

    I'm happy with my comcast cable connection. The speed is good and it's only gone down once in the past year and that was at 2am when i was just browsing the web so it wasn't that big a deal. The only encounter with tech support was when my fiancee broke the modem when the coax got caught on something and it snapped the jack off the modem. I called, wasn't on hold for long, and told them the modem was broken and needed to be replaced. The tech had someone come out with a new modem asap which left me without internet for only about 1.5 days. He even hooked it up to my router for me, which he didn't need to do. ps i'm in Roseville Ca

    Humans are animals. We're just a little bit smarter and better at making and using tools than most other animals.

    yea but the tuscan is a badass car that can hold it's own against the ferrari 360, this is a volvo that will be owned by soccer moms the tvr has a good reason for having it's hood bolted closed, what's volvo's excuse? unbolting the hood > having to have some volvo tech open it
