  5. Re:Nanny State Bullshit on Missouri Removes Teacher-Student Social Media Ban · · Score: 1

    Also, your anger towards the government seemed to overlook the fact that the government stopped it.

    Yet somehow they still manage to continually chip away our freedom.

  6. Nanny State Bullshit on Missouri Removes Teacher-Student Social Media Ban · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If somebody commits a crime against a student then prosecute them for the crime.
    Maybe we just just ban cars because they are often used by kidnappers.

  7. Re:Firefox on The Looming Video Codec Fight · · Score: 1
    I'm OK with this, let the best browsers win.
    Also, there will be plugins/hacks available in no time, officially supported or otherwise.

    So what about Konqueror?

  8. Re:wrong calculation on EPA Bans CFC-Based Asthma Inhalers · · Score: 1

    Once the pharmaceutical companies start losing enough sales the price will come down.
    Alternatively you could switch to a prescription inhaler, that is if you have insurance.

    Still, it turns out to be a great portal conductor

    Dividing zero by zero may cause the universe to implode.

  11. Polls on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1

    Does this mean the "CmdrTaco" option will forever be absent from the polls?

    I wasn't aware there was a market for such a thing.

  14. Re:Plane'arium on The Next Firefox UI · · Score: 1

    I think I'll be going back to Seamonkey
    I originally switched to Firefox (from Seamonkey) a couple of years ago for for the Add-ons.
    I've since learned that a simple modification to the .xpi will allow most Firefox Add-ons to install problem free in Seamonkey (although this is probably becoming less true with each new version).
    Seamonkey still feels like good old Netscape Communicator 4.x, with more under the hood obviously.

  15. Re:Ghostery FTW on Researchers Expose Tracking Service That Can't Be Dodged · · Score: 1

    I've been using Ghostery for over a year.
    I currently have nothing in my whitelist and have had to temporarily allow certain scripts maybe 6 times.
    Ghostery is a solid tool and a mainstay in my suite of privacy addons along with:
    Adblock Plus
    NoScript
    RefControl
    BetterPrivacy
    QuckJava
    Torbutton (useful even when not using Tor).

  16. Re:This is ridiculous! on GNOME and KDE Devs Wrangle Over 'System Settings' Name · · Score: 1

    I switched to XFCE about 6 months ago and I couldn't be happier.
    It's fully functional and lightweight, the way a DE should be IMHO.

  17. Re:Secure software on unsecure hardware? on A Linux Distro From the US Department of Defense · · Score: 1

    Right? A personal laptop with an encrypted hard drive would seem to be the logical solution.

  18. RAM on A Linux Distro From the US Department of Defense · · Score: 1

    If the computer is left on the RAM can still leave traces behind.
    I don't see how this is any different than any other live CD though.

  19. Re:Lady Gaga? on Google Trying to Lure Celebs to Google+ · · Score: 1

    Of course not, but then what's the point of joining a social network if you're gonna simply setup a profile and do nothing else?

  20. Re:Lady Gaga? on Google Trying to Lure Celebs to Google+ · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Social networking offers up far more information than name and gender my friend.

    I just canceled my Facebook account (member since 2006), I will not be giving up my personal information to the king of data collection. No thank you.
    Yes, Google is my default search engine but googleanalytics, recaptcha and googleapi are blocked.

    With Linux being the next OS in line, perhaps the year of Linux is indeed finally upon us.

  25. Re:You mean that cell phone store? on RadioShack Trying To Return To Its DIY Roots · · Score: 1
    I can confirm that Twin Cities RadioShack's do still sell basic electronic components for hobbyists like myself such as breadboards, transistors, resistors, diodes, and capacitors.

    I have noticed a trend however, and they have indeed been focusing on crap like cell phones and over priced RC toys. I would love to see them return to their roots as they are basically the only brick an mortar shop where you can still get this stuff.
