  1. Some Links to the NSA site on John Nash's Declassified 1955 Letter To the NSA · · Score: 5, Interesting
  2. Guess what? on Ask Slashdot: Life After Software Development? · · Score: 1

    We now live in a service economy. Micky Dee's is always hireing, and front desk jobs at La Quinta might be available in your area. But if you're over 45, look, just move under a bridge and get it over with.

  3. Re:Data Mining at it's finest on How Companies Learn Your Secrets · · Score: 0

    Lying with statistics is an art, but it appears that once in a while they can be useful.

    How is this "lying"? Seems to mee they are spot on.

  4. Re:Am I the first to call BS? on How Companies Learn Your Secrets · · Score: 5, Funny

    OK guys, raise your hands - how many have gotten 'feminine products' adverts?

    Uhh... Dude... I don't know what kind of web sites YOU visit, but...

    The anecdote might be fake, but the use of stats? More than you can imagine. The fact is, human behavior is predictable.

  6. Human Life on Boiling Down the Meaning of Life · · Score: 0

    According to most medical professionals, human life starts at 22 or 23 weeks. Before that? Just an undefined non-viable biological spongy thingy... Whip out the vacuum!

    By the way, I support abortion for the same reason I support the Death Penalty: Necessary in a practical sense, but over all pretty gross...

  7. Re:and where is exactly the problem? on Journalist Arrested By Interpol For Tweet · · Score: 0

    I think he made a mistake by fleeing to a Muslim country that would take such bullshit seriously. More justice from the Religion of Love.

  8. Ugly... on Golden Delicious Now Shipping Hackable Openmoko GTA04 · · Score: 2

    The screen seems kind of small for a Smart Phone, and the case is definitely ugly-ass... Couldn't they have made the case a bit more, er, cool? Or did they have to design it that way to avoid Apple design patents?

  9. Re:Because everyone needs a gullwing suv on Tesla Reveals Its Model X Gullwing SUV · · Score: 1

    There is ABSOLUTLY NOTHING wrong adding the gull-wing doors as strictly a style component.

    ...coupled with a seriously massive base price just makes this even more of a non-solution.

    It's a "luxury" vehicle. If you are looking specifically for a no-frills utility vehicle, this is not for you. For people looking for a bleeding edge stylish luxury SUV, this is certainly a possible solution.

  10. Re:That's amazing on Hacked Syrian Officials Used '12345' As Email Password · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why do you insult neanderthals?

    What's next? Will Bill Gates be said to have invented the microchip?

    Wasn't that Kim Jong-il?

  12. Re:Dumb Idea to Begin With on Superpoke Players Sue Google · · Score: 2

    As far as I'm concerned, if I can take it to the grocery store and buy coke & chips, it's "real". That would include the proper green paper, various sizes of coins, and plastic cards with magnetic strips. And exclude Bitcoins, Linden bucks, and whatever this "Poke" stuff uses for money.

    So what *YOU* use for money is money, but what *OTHER PEOPLE* use for money is not?

    YOU can not take Korean Won or whatever they use in Kurdistan for money to the local 7/11. Does that mean it isn't money?

    These morons trade pooka shells for fluffy goat sex options, thus pooka shells are demonstrably MONEY.

  13. Re:Dumb Idea to Begin With on Superpoke Players Sue Google · · Score: 1

    This is why I pay the rent instead of buying fake money with real money.

    Yes, but what makes real money "real" vs "fake" money fake? Maybe they are not so much different things in reality? The courts will decide.

    But I'm with you, "get a life".

  15. Re:Copyright from the past on Finding Lost Recording From the 1880s · · Score: 1

    Wonder what Brahms would make of the insanity that passes for copyright today.

    It's a fact that many authors are very much for the kind of copyright laws being passed today. What makes you think Brahms would be any different?

  16. Re:Joking about this is the height of stupidity. on DHS Sends Tourists Home Over Twitter Jokes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Just the other guys don't understand the language.

    Nonsense. DHS got the joke, they just didn't appreciate it.

    There is a significant segment of the population that simply does not appreciate jokes about terrorism or jokes that put the United States of America as the butt of the joke.

    Right or wrong, that's what was going on here: Brits making fun about God, Glory, Apple Pie... Send 'em home to good old England where people have much more freedom than here in the United Fascist States of America.

    Oh, that's right, the Brits live under constant surveillance that would never be tolerated here...

  17. Phone Sex on Ask Slashdot: Money-Making Home-Based Tech Skills? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Phone sex is something ANYONE can do, and you don't have to meet the client. Pays well, and you can even do it while changing the baby or stirring the pasta sauce. You could even charge more for doing it while taking a shit if you find the right clients!

  19. Made For TV? on FBI Building App To Scrape Social Media · · Score: 2

    Believe me, I understand why we should all be nervous about projects like this being carried out by the Three Letter folks.

    But thinking about another aspect, this sort of thing is always outsourced to some defense contractor who in turn lakes way too long to soak the taxpayer for software that ultimately either fails or does itâ(TM)s job poorly.

    Why donâ(TM)t agencies like the FBI recruit âoeSpecial Agentsâ to work in âoehacker labsâ to turn this stuff out in-house? I mean, such a job description is âoemade for TVâ, totally sexy! A bunch of hot young geeks in the latest styles sitting around with holstered Glocks, in a hacker lab with the latest toys?

    Who WOULDNâ(TM)T want that job?

  20. Wow. on 1st 'Super Wi-Fi' Net Goes Live In North Carolina · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Boy! How were they able to do that without some cable / telecom lobby dumping stacks of 100$ on the state political whores to block it? Amazing.

  21. Re:Happens all the time. on Zynga Accused of Cloning Hit Indie iPhone Game Tiny Tower · · Score: 2

    If, by "steal," you mean "bought and paid for... "

    Well, that's how Microsoft "steals" their ideas, according to the Slashdot Group-Think... Microsoft stole this, Microsoft stole that... Actually they *buy* a lot of their ideas, but that doesn't stop the accusations of theft here...

  22. WHERE DOES IT END! on Non-Copied Photo Is Ruled Copyright Infringement · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So what you are saying, OCG, is that attempting to avoid a licencing fee by using a similar but different piece of "intellectual property" should be illegal?

    Apple Computer agrees with you. As you know, they own flat glassy tablets with rounded corners. Don't try to avoid patent licencing by making similar but different tablets...

  23. Take a close look at the Google images... on Amateur UAV Pilot Exposes Texas River of Blood · · Score: 4, Interesting

    In the GOOGLE MAP where the creek joins the river, it's pretty obvious.

    I'm wondering how this could have been going on for so long, long enough for Google to have images (so obviously it's not a one time or sporadic event) event, without anyone noticing, does no one boat up that river? Fish on it? No nearby land owners?

    Odd...

  24. Chang the name? on Microsoft Pushes For Gay Marriage In Washington State · · Score: 1

    The problem is that the government had no business getting into the marriage business in the first place.

    While this may be true in terms of the religious connection to marriage, the broader question might be: Should any "domestic partnership" have different rules than single people, such as tax issues and property issues? And there are child issues as well where "domestic partnership" rules could be needed...

    So maybe we should stop calling these things "marriage" legally and start calling them "domestic partnerships" legally, and leave the religion and sex out of it?
