  1. May we assume on Former FBI Agent: All Digital Communications Stored By US Gov't · · Score: 1

    That in that case classification is done more or less automatic.
    Down to the individual, we may assume.

    And yet, they are unable to prevent [insert latest bombing or amok event here].
    Clearly a government gone anal.

  2. TIME is running out on Xkcd's Long-running "Time" Comic: Work of Art Or Nerd Sniping? · · Score: 1

    And that, sir, ain't no joke.

  3. Re:maybe I'm a little off topic on Syria Buys Dell PCs Despite Sanctions · · Score: 1

    Your comment on Iran lacks some nuancing context (maybe
    the best thing to do is be a little less preoccupied with it, Iran
    doesn't only exist as a result of Americans entertaining any
    thoughts on it), but other than that -- agreed.

  4. Re:Jim Jones? on EPA: No Single Cause For Colony Collapse Disorder · · Score: 1

    Right.
    The last colony that did, didn't even have a chance
    to regret it for the rest of their life.

  5. Re:A Green Light to all Hackers on Dutch Bill Seeks To Give Law Enforcement Hacking Powers · · Score: 1

    Explain to me then why this proposed law is needed. With a proper
    warrant in hand, all they seek to do under the new bill is possible,
    right now.

    No Opstelten is a nitwit with a lot of time on his hands, and his
    clueless mind wants to whistle even more to the tune of the United
    Distaste of America.

    Opstelten furthermore is a guy who without even being aware of
    it (there's that dumbsullery again) operates on the principle of class
    justice.

    For those that don't know him: even the way he speaks is all upper
    class pomp (and no content, as is usual for the phenomenon).

  6. Potential conjunction? on NASA's Fermi Spacecraft Dodged a Defunct Russian Satellite · · Score: 1

    So the conjunction was averted and didn't happen?

  7. OSM is fine -- I have yet to find the on OpenStreetMap Adds Easier Reporting of Map Problems · · Score: 2

    first ... ... SPLASH!! bubble...bubble... ...

  8. paraphrazing myself on The Coming War Against Personal Photography and Video · · Score: 2

    Do unto them what they do to you.

    The important thing doing so is: on and off the job, i.e. 24/7.
    Police and politicians will not have private lives anymore if you don't.
    And publish publish publish soon and often -- even the most dull and
    humdrum.

    Don't allow them to hang you -- hang together.

  9. I don't like wrestling on WWDC Sells Out In 2 Minutes; Ticket On eBay 45 Minutes Later · · Score: 1

    Especially when it's FAKE.

  10. Re:Article has Anti-Semitic Purpose on Israel Airport Security Allowed To Read Tourists' Email · · Score: 0

    That's because Tell Aviv is owned by Americans from the Atlantic board,
    while Detroit is ..., well just middle America.

  11. Finger on pulse on Tweet From Hacked AP Account Causes High Freq. Traders To Drop DOW 150 Points · · Score: 1

    Question is, which is finger which is pulse.

  12. Verizon's own track record? on China Behind 96% of All Cyber-Espionage Data Breaches, Verizon Report Claims · · Score: 1

    Serious question.
    Any takers?

  13. Police are not supposed to have an opinion really on Japanese Police Urge ISPs To Block Tor · · Score: 1

    In Japan, don't they have separation of powers?

  14. Perceiving is easy... on Perceiving Robotic Industrial Arm Inches Toward Autonomy · · Score: 2

    Integrating what is perceived is the HARD PROBLEM.

    Sorry -- presently watching, in order, the MIT150 'Brains,
    Minds and Intelligence' video-series.
    (I can really recommend the series -- at least it taught
    me how still, a.d. 2013, much of AI is still a lot of PR).

    Enjoy!

  15. How bout on Windows 8.1 May Restore Boot-To-Desktop, Start Button · · Score: 4, Funny

    Boot to BSOD?
    Saves everybody a lot of time.

  16. So what is fine tuned by this (possible) match up? on Supernova Left Its Mark In Ancient Bacteria · · Score: 1

    The stated (almost) speed of light,
    the age of said sediments,
    the distance of mentioned nova,
    or the date of creation of Earth?

  17. Obama and the rest: Stop looking up to Jobs on Raspberry Pi Production Heats Up In UK Surpassing Chinese Production Soon · · Score: 1

    He was/is part of the problem in another sense. Looking up to
    him is as well.

    I can hear it now, the answer to the 'problem' raised in the NYT
    article: "lower wages, clamp down on workers' rights, in short,
    more capitalism".

    The only true answer is: less oligarchy, which will enable solidarity
    to return, which will empower workers, which will give them back
    a sense of ownership of their workplace -- in short: less rampant
    capitalism.

    How do you arrive at that end? I heard the USA is a democratic
    society. How about kicking out the aforementioned oligarchy?
    Take your life back into your own hands.

  18. While R.Pi is on its way to its 2-millionth on Raspberry Pi Production Heats Up In UK Surpassing Chinese Production Soon · · Score: 1

    I am still trying to get gapless playback out of VLC.

    [Never mind VLC -- it's no use.
    But I think I've had all major players (pun unintended)
    over the past few years -- RB had a memory leak,
    Audacious only had the stinking 'horizontal' playlist
    display, Amarok was too heavy on a non-KE-user,
    etc., etc.]

  19. nVidia have been jerking Linux around on NVIDIA Releases Optimus Linux Driver With New Features · · Score: 4, Interesting

    for as long as I can remember, and that is long
    (Linuxer since 1991).

    Never bought anything else for a display card though.
    Explain that.

  20. What is Ubisoft on Hackers Swipe Unreleased Game From Ubisoft · · Score: 0

    And was I supposed to have one?

  21. In an effort of great moral restraint on New Revenue Model For Low Budget Films: Lawsuits · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I am going to refrain from comment.

  22. Re:Privacy by fragmentation on Mozilla: Unlike FB and Twitter Single Sign-in, Persona Protects User Privacy · · Score: 1

    XS4ALL sucks. Their spokesperson thinks Apple spells SECURITY.

  23. Re:This would be the least interesting Martian lif on Intraterrestrials: Mars Life May Hide Deep Below · · Score: 0

    Me -- I want some proof.

  24. Like I said the other day on Intraterrestrials: Mars Life May Hide Deep Below · · Score: 1

    NASA these days is staying alive more by issuiing a weekly
    PR-bulletin than by good old scientific or technological achievement.
    It's their Swan-song, in a way.

  25. Nuclear rhymes with explosion.
    REAL explosion that is -- not as in outbreak.
    Great sensayional effect,spectacular soundtrack,
    great lightshow, tremendous kinetic surround effects,
    what's not to like?
