  1. Re:"Partner" on Partner of Guardian's Snowden Reporter Detained Under Terrorism Act · · Score: 1

    the term "fiance" is androgynous.

  2. Re:Canada soon invades the US on Canadian Military Developing Stealth Snowmobile · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't worry, we are already working on a defense, called global warming.

  3. What's the point? on Wikileaks Releases A Massive "Insurance" File That No One Can Open · · Score: 2

    I seriously doubt that any government would be swayed from taking action against Wikileaks due to the existence of an insurance file. Even if it has damning information, and the government knows it has damning information, the government is too big and proud to care. The only way the insurance file could affect decisions is if it revealed misconduct by specific high-ranking politicians, and these politicians know that their personal ass is on the line. It's human nature. In this case, Wikileaks should drop some hints such that these politicians know that Wikileaks knows, but without spilling too many details.

  4. Is it illegal to distribute that? on Wikileaks Releases A Massive "Insurance" File That No One Can Open · · Score: 1

    How can I know if there is anything illegal in there if I can't read it? Or would I be guilty of potentially distributing confidential papers or exporting munitions if it's just a bunch of random bits?

  5. Re:at some point... on The College-Loan Scandal · · Score: 1

    Graduate school is different than undergraduate.

  6. Re:Mixed Feelings on The College-Loan Scandal · · Score: 1

    So are you against bankruptcy in general, or just bankruptcy for student loans? Bankruptcy is an ugly thing but it makes no sense to single out students. What about bankrupt corporations? Should the shareholders have to pay? As long as usury exists, bankruptcy is a necessary evil, unless you want to re-institute debtors prisons or something.

  7. Good preparation for political work on Biggest Headache For Game Developers: Abusive Fans · · Score: 1

    So, I guess game development is pretty good preparation for a career in politics, after all.

  8. Re:Correlation not cause on Excess Coffee May Be Linked To Early Death · · Score: 1

    I think that's at least partly causative. The coffee enables people to work the crazy hours.

  9. Re:Sacking... on Aussie Public Servant Criticises Gov't On Twitter, Gets Sacked · · Score: 1

    Since when is criticizing something equal to working against them?

  10. Re:Why isn't Bloomberg in jail? on Federal Judge Rules NYC "Stop and Frisk" Violated Rights · · Score: 0

    A lot of white people support stop and frisk. Pretty good evidence that democracy doesn't work.

  11. Re:I don't understand on Federal Judge Rules NYC "Stop and Frisk" Violated Rights · · Score: 2

    It doesn't matter if it's true that black and Hispanic people commit more crimes in NYC. People still have rights. Rights are absolute and aren't supposed to be chucked aside to make it easier for police.

  12. Re:Extensions needed! on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Request Someone To Send Me a Public Key? · · Score: 1

    still waiting for the firefox plugin

  13. offer to fax in the documents on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Request Someone To Send Me a Public Key? · · Score: 1

    but you risk them thinking of you as a neanderthal.

  14. Re:"What you're not seeing is people actually abus on Obama on Surveillance: "We Can and Must Be More Transparent" · · Score: 2

    They haven't shot anyone ordinary.

  15. Re:Applause on Encrypted Email Provider Lavabit Shuts Down, Blames US Gov't · · Score: 1

    We do not live in a lawful society.

  16. writing fluff on Meet a Group of Aspiring Mars Colonists · · Score: 1

    'I want off the planet – I want humanity off the planet,' declared Dr. Leila Zucker, 45, who works in the emergency room at Howard University Hospital.

    Isn't that much better?

  17. solution on Campaign To Kill CAPTCHA Kicks Off · · Score: 1

    The solution is not to make it harder for spammers to post. The solution is to murder spammers after they post.

  18. Re:Use university essays to replace stubs? on Interview: Jimmy Wales Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    Wikipedia isn't a place for essays, but for facts. Academic essay writing is mostly about defending a thesis or some kind of original research. That's not what wikipedia is about.

  19. Re:Troubling quote from the article on DEA Program "More Troubling" Than NSA · · Score: 2

    Police are experts at fabricating lies

  20. Re:8 cylinder on Qualcomm Says Eight-Core Processors Are Dumb · · Score: 1

    Or you could hook up 24 chainsaw engines and run a motorcycle.

  21. Re:What about Gay Marriage? on Google's Science Fellows Challenge the Company's Fund-Raising For Senator Inhofe · · Score: 1

    Just because it's wrong doesn't mean I'm gonna fight it. The founding fathers recognized that we're all a bunch of corrupt motherfuckers, and that's why we need checks and balances. You do something wrong that I don't support; I'll fight you. You do something wrong that I support; I'll let someone else fight you. That's the real world.

  22. Re:What about Gay Marriage? on Google's Science Fellows Challenge the Company's Fund-Raising For Senator Inhofe · · Score: 1

    I think you are confusing the liberal worldview with the Democratic party. There's plenty of /. posts trashing both the Democrats and Republicans, and it seems a large number (of the more vocal /.ers) are more libertarian or anarchist leaning.

  23. Re:good grief, give it a rest on Google's Science Fellows Challenge the Company's Fund-Raising For Senator Inhofe · · Score: 1

    Bribery is ok as long as it is spread around to everybody?

  24. How the hell can you claim that corporations are voluntary but labor unions are not? That is some serious doublethink right there. They are very nearly the same thing.

  25. Re:Let's all Google together. on Google Pressure Cookers and Backpacks: Get a Visit From the Feds · · Score: 1

    That's weak. We should Google "how to make pressure cooker bombs" and "white house floor plans" and "sniper rifle" and "the holy jihad" and "sex with preteens" and "organophosphorous". That should be a little more fun.
