  1. Re:Bleh on Mozilla Lightning Calendar Nears 1.0 · · Score: 1

    Until it can slice bread and brew coffe, I can't recomend it.

  2. Lessor of two evils... on Siemens To Exit Nuclear Power Business · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This kind of thought is too bad for the Earth, because baring fossil fuels, there is really no other source that can provide the need of our modern society. The actual unblemished truth is that the popular âoerenewableâ sources can not supply but a minority proportion of the worldâ(TM)s needs for energy. The truth is: Itâ(TM)s either coal / oil, or nuclear energy.

    And the sad thing is that today, as in right now, the nuclear technologies have never been safer, so much safer than any of the currently operational nuke plants, and much more relevant to this discussion, much more safe and indeed cleaner than any, ANY, of the alternatives.

    Simply the truth, folks.

  3. Assisted Suicide on Making Facebook Self Healing · · Score: 1

    I was thinking more in terms of "assisted suicide".

    Typical worthless comment by an anonymous COWARD.

    So funny, Slashdotters like you BITCH ti high heaven about the Crap Shack that is Flash, but now that you can't have it you BITCH even more?

    Perhaps you just like to BITCH?

  6. Re:Should be a good seller among the Slashdot crow on Book Review: Metasploit The Penetration Tester's Guide · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sure, many of us "test", but how many of us actually get to "penetrate"?

    What exactly are you trying to say?

  7. From The Article... on Scientists Plan "Artificial Volcano" Climate Experiment · · Score: 1

    The long-term vision is to tether 20 kilometre-long pipes to balloons the size of Wembley stadium.

  8. No, still true... on GE Unveils Fridge-Recycling Behemoth · · Score: 1

    In virtually *ALL* recycling operations that involve an industrial shredder, there is also automated material sorting. For example electronic recycling that starts off with a big shredder, and then routes the smaller and smaller pieces past various devices that remove different types of metals and plastics...

    So really, this in fact is NOTHING NEW.

    But really, good show to GE in engineering a modern shredder/sorter. It would have been nice if it also recovered the refrigeration gas. Maybe it does and I missed it...

  9. Shredder Fun on GE Unveils Fridge-Recycling Behemoth · · Score: 1

    Monster shredders are really nothing new. But it's still fun to watch things get tossed into them.

    YouTube has quite a few video clips of big shredders shredding big things.

  10. Re:Without remorse there is no rehabilitation. on Kevin Mitnick Answers · · Score: 1, Insightful

    To be a crook would require that he had a financial gain.

    Nope. The label only requires that he breach of rules or laws for which some governing authority. Which he did. Crook.

  11. Nope... on 5 Years In Prison For Selling Fake Cisco Gear · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm wondering whether there was a deeper purpose to importing counterfeited equipment. If such could be successfully sold into government operations, it could then be used for backdoors...

    Cisco gear is *made* in China. We're not dealing with pin-heads here, if they wanted to "backdoor" routers, they would at least attempt to "backdoor" the real things with Chinese operatives in Chinese factories where these routers are made, while on Chinese soil...

    This, of course, is one of the great weaknesses of the shift of manufacturing away from US soil, we just don't make things anymore.

    Not long down the road, all those Filipino maids in the rich palazzos, palaces, and chateaus will be replaced with American maids.

  12. Re:speculating about the real purpose on 5 Years In Prison For Selling Fake Cisco Gear · · Score: 1

    That Maryland and Virginia are one of the centers of administrative aspects of US government does not mean that it's where the gubmint data centers are...

    For example, much of the Air Force's crunching goes on at Maxwell AFB (and the Gunter Annex) in Alabama.

    If someone or something were to take out Gunter Annex, things would stop , Air Force wise.

    For how long? Who knows. But to say it would be an inconvenience is an understatement.

    Without a doubt, Maxwell and Gutner have a big target on them, high on the list.of targets...

  13. Re:No it doesn't on North Korea Forced US Reconnaissance Plane To Land · · Score: 1

    While I'm sure the US isn't pleased about this and it doesn't help...

    On the other hand, knowing that they have this capability and what it looks like to our aircraft, and perhaps where it came from - these things might be very valuable intel indeed. So, maybe we really *are* pleased...

  14. I know, I know... on How the Webb Space Telescope Got So Expensive · · Score: 4, Funny

    How the Web space telescope became so expensive? Connectivity through Comcast, no doubt.

    Hmmm. And First Post?

  15. Shell Relationship? on Is This the End of Righthaven? · · Score: 2

    I thought there was some corporate shell relationship between Righthaven and MediaNews Group? So "terminating their contract" means what, exactly?

  16. Way past time... on Rogue SSL Certs Issued For CIA, MI6, Mossad · · Score: 1

    Time to drop DigiNotar from trusted cert list?

  17. Has ANYONE called the cops? on Did Apple Impersonate Police To Recover the Lost iPhone 5? · · Score: 1

    I agree it sounds setup.

    But, Apple *might* want to get it back without police intervention because it makes Apple look a bit clueless, letting their employees lose prototypes multiple times.

    My inclination is to think one of these two possibilities:

    1. CalderÃn made the whole thing up, Apple has no involvement. CalderÃn thinks he can squeeze money out of Apple or potential media outlets that pay for stories (Gawker clearly pays for stories).

    2. Apple made it all up, and CalderÃn is on the payroll.

    The fact that neither CalderÃn or Apple has called the cop in officially is quite telling.

  18. Re:None of it ever happened. Marketing Hype. on Did Apple Impersonate Police To Recover the Lost iPhone 5? · · Score: 1

    There isn't a shred of proof the visit or the search ever happened.

    How did Calderon get the persona phone number of the Apple Security guy?

  19. Re:*HOW* did they find the guy? on Did Apple Impersonate Police To Recover the Lost iPhone 5? · · Score: 1

    My point is exactly that this guy probably had the phone.

  20. *HOW* did they find the guy? on Did Apple Impersonate Police To Recover the Lost iPhone 5? · · Score: 1

    The guy admits he was at Cava. Just how did Apple find his house?

    Sure, the fake cop thing is troubling.

    But still, how did Apple discover the location of some random guy who had drinks at Cava?

    Apple == BAD? Maybe.

    But one wonders if in fact this random guy who had drinks at Cava was in fact at one time had the stolen/ lost phone?

    Otherwise, how would Apple Thugs found his address?

    Sorry, it's way too much to ask people to take even the smallest responsibility for their own privacy.

  22. Re:This is patently false. on The Copyright Nightmare of 'I Have a Dream' · · Score: 1

    I believe this counts as "anywhere else."

    Scroll to the bottom of the page you cite and note the copyright information.

  23. Re:Tragic... on Former Wikileaks Spokesman Destroyed Documents · · Score: 1

    if by papers you mean drivers license, then they have always been able to ask for that, along with the registration and insurance verification. It's intertwined with the whole "privilege to drive" mantra.

    No, in the state of WA, it *is not* legal to stop people for no reason and ask for their documents. Police *must* have a VALID reason to stop a motor vehicle.
