  1. Re:Hell no... on SF Evictions Surging From Crackdown On Airbnb Rentals · · Score: 1

    The landlords have nothing to do with this. This is the city evicting people.

  2. Football analogy on U.S. Supreme Court Declines To Rule On Constitutionality of Bulk Surveillance · · Score: 1

    Punt.

  3. Re:Is it not obvious? They have dirt on him! on Why No Executive Order To Stop NSA Metadata Collection? · · Score: 1

    Actually he does nothing especially political in nature. If he did, Gitmo would be closed, Wall Street bankers would be in jail, small time drug offenders would be out of federal prison, and he would have actually advertised health insurance availability. He's simply inept as a leader. I voted for him for the first term. But when I realized how a non-leader he was (might as well be Bush part 2), I decided to vote for the Green Party candidate. Sad.

  4. Re:Okay, but... on Hacker Holds Key To Free Flights · · Score: 1

    You've clearly never flown USAir. There's definitely no counting. You'll be mighty lucky if you can even see a flight attendant on a 2 hour flight.

  5. Re:Useless outside of the USA on Amazon's Fire TV: Is It Worth Game Developers' Time? · · Score: 1

    Get a vpn for $40 (American) a year. Problem solved.

  6. Re:Universities should have no patents on Details You're Not Supposed To See From Boston U's Patent Settlements · · Score: 1

    Tell that to the sports departments.

  7. Re:Enough with the Climate Change Articles Slashdo on Famous Paintings Help Study the Earth's Past Atmosphere · · Score: 1

    The god shiit isn't science. A Holy Grail reference, really?

  8. Dammit! on WSJ: Prepare To Hang Up the Phone — Forever · · Score: 1

    How the hell am I supposed to find my cell phone lost in my house if I have no land line?

  9. Face Palm on One Person Successfully Removed From US No-Fly List · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The whole concept of a no-fly list so utterly asinine that it boggles the mind. Too dangerous to fly in a plane after going through security, not dangerous enough to arrest. Riiiiiiight.

  10. As much as the TSA sucks... on TSA Missed Boston Bomber Because His Name Was Misspelled In a Database · · Score: 2

    ... this had nothing to do with the TSA. They just make sure people bring bombs, snow globes, or nail clippers onto planes. Even if they detained the correctly spelled Tsarnaev, he did nothing illegal until he built and set off a bomb. Some day the DHS will realize that they have to do real police work instead of making lists that depend on correctly spelled names.

  11. oblig on Dorian Nakamoto Officially Denies That He Created Bitcoin · · Score: 1

    I'm Spartacus!

  12. Re:"halfway through its second term" ? on Obama Administration Transparency Getting Worse · · Score: 1

    Uh, wtf is he gonna do in DC? Clinton had a much bigger ego than Obama. He's nowhere near to DC.

  13. Enough with the drones on Medicine Delivered By Flying Drones · · Score: 1

    Probably would be much easier and just as fast to hire a bike courier.

  14. Cameras are ubiquitous. on Hungarian Law Says Photogs Must Ask Permission To Take Pictures · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Billions of photos taken every day. This kind of law just lets the government selectively prosecute somebody they don't like. I also assume it doesn't apply to surveillance cameras.

  15. wishful thinking on A Look at the NSA's Most Powerful Internet Attack Tool · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Now if they would just use it to actually stop botnets.

  16. Re:Why is everybody so hung up on terrorist? on Engine Data Reveals That Flight 370 Flew On For Hours After It "Disappeared" · · Score: 0

    I've been thinking the same thing. But I'm only going to bet Bitcoin.

  17. Re:Aircraft that fly in V formation like ducks on The $100,000 Device That Could Have Solved Missing Plane Mystery · · Score: 1

    No, that's a slash formation ;)

  18. Re:Aircraft that fly in V formation like ducks on The $100,000 Device That Could Have Solved Missing Plane Mystery · · Score: 2

    How can two aircraft fly in a V formation?

  19. Re:Like Fawn Hall in 1986? on Embarrassing Stories Shed Light On US Officials' Technological Ignorance · · Score: 1

    In her defense it was actually phone records.

  20. You guys know what a dire wolf is, right? on Ice Age Fossils Found During Los Angeles Subway Exploration · · Score: 1

    It's like a wolf, but dire.

  21. wtf? on Facebook To Pay City $200K-a-Year For a Neighborhood Cop · · Score: 1

    Is this story a coherent paragraph? If so, I need to go back to school.

  22. He's just a patsy on Bitcoin Inventor Satoshi Nakamoto Outed By Newsweek · · Score: 4, Funny

    The real inventor was Keyser Soze.

  23. Re:Shazbot! on Vast Surveillance Network Powered By Repo Men · · Score: 1

    If you're worried about it just put a post-it note over one of the letters on your plates each time you park on a public street.

  24. Re:Media leaks legislation on White House "Privacy Tour" a Flop On Its First Leg At MIT · · Score: 1

    It was about states' rights. A state's right to enslvave 3/5 of its population.

  25. Re:So we are like mice? on Low-Protein Diet May Extend Lifespan · · Score: 1

    Mice are omnivores.
