  1. Re:So what it NSA can read it? on Confidential Data Not Safe On Solid State Disks · · Score: 1

    Two words: Rubber Hose

    The idea being that, after a point, increasing security starts increasing your risk.

  2. Re:And this will stop what? on Kids Who Skip School Get Tracked By GPS · · Score: 1

    I would have just left this in my locker and ignored it, not bothering to enter the code or keep it on me -- even on the days I was actually at school. I don't know why they expect this to stop anyone.

    I think you missed the part where this is an voluntary alternative to the already-in-place harsher bits like holding you back, or prosecution, etc?

  3. Re:8PM? on Kids Who Skip School Get Tracked By GPS · · Score: 1

    ... and if they're not home at 8PM, and (somehow, I mean what else could they be doing*) happen to not be causing problems?

    While I was hardly a chronic skipper (fairly rare), I had plenty of friends who did so far more often (because of boredom, retarded curriculum etc) - and we were a far cry from the stupid troublemakers they associate with skipping.

    * - that was sarcasm by the way.

  4. Re:What a shitbag... on Teenager Tries To Hire Hitman Via Facebook · · Score: 1

    "Though the stranger rape remains entrenched as the paradigm of âoerealâ rape, of rape that is recognized as such, it is not actually the norm."

    What the hell is that supposed to say?!

  5. Re:What a shitbag... on Teenager Tries To Hire Hitman Via Facebook · · Score: 1

    True. But you can always shoot the fuckhead after he's done his business.

    The law might not like it, but I don't think you'd find to many who wouldn't take your side (at least in private)

  6. context please... on Attacked By Anonymous, HBGary Pulls Out of RSA · · Score: 1

    Who the hell is HBGary, why should I care, and what did he do to "piss off" "anonymous?"

  7. Re:Definitely deserved on Civ IV's Baba Yetu Wins First Grammy For Video Game · · Score: 1

    Homeworld's star in the soundtrack (they used the theme over and over) was just Addagio for Strings, composed by Samuel Barber. He finished it in 1936.

  8. Re:When Sharia Law is imposed... on Saudi Students In US Seek Segregation By Gender On Facebook · · Score: 1

    Just remember that when Sharia Law is finally imposed upon non-Muslims, you can expect lots of people to get killed over it.

    FTFY.

  9. Re:80 million registered users on Pandora Files For IPO · · Score: 1

    It also doesn't specify how many of these registered users are paying users, like myself. That's an important detail - not only are they unlikely to be throwaways, but they are also tossing $30 into the pot every year...

  10. Re:Frequencies? on 4G Broadband May Jam GPS · · Score: 1

    "kindergarten level trigonometry"

    Really now... I thought our education system wasn't doing as best it could, but surely you're exaggerating?

  11. Re:Hmm. on House Fails To Extend Patriot Act Spy Powers · · Score: 1

    I wonder if the 50,000+ signatures on the DemandProgress petition had anything to do with this? I'd like to think so. I'd like to think I wasn't being naieve.

  12. Re:At least someone is looking out for us. on Senator Wyden Asks DHS To Explain Domain Seizures · · Score: 1

    You'd be surprised. Fear of embarrassment or retribution ("you'll pay for that, and our resulting losses!") encourage people to 'disappear' them.

  13. Re:Has anyone ever seen a decent study on this? on Piracy Boosts Anime Sales, Says Japanese Government Study · · Score: 1

    In general the quality of the fansubs is worlds beyond what get's "sold."

    If you want me to buy it, put some money/time/talent/effort into your dubs or subtitles. Otherwise, I'm just going to go find a fansub and enjoy it that way.

  14. Re:I believe it on Piracy Boosts Anime Sales, Says Japanese Government Study · · Score: 1

    At least he reached out to you instead of calling the copyright "police" immediately.

  15. Re:Remember on Piracy Boosts Anime Sales, Says Japanese Government Study · · Score: 2

    Occupied territories?

    (disclaimer: I am a US citizen)

  16. Re:At least someone is looking out for us. on Senator Wyden Asks DHS To Explain Domain Seizures · · Score: 1

    That's entirely reasonable, considering they have to replace the breakaway, hose, and nozzle. Factor in the labor charges by the pump servicer company (which are not small, btw)

  17. Re:Duly filed on Senator Wyden Asks DHS To Explain Domain Seizures · · Score: 1

    What the frell does that mean?

  18. Re:At least someone is looking out for us. on Senator Wyden Asks DHS To Explain Domain Seizures · · Score: 2

    Yea, someone should invent a kind of break-away device to protect the pumps from damage!

  19. Re:Please take responsibility for your life. on 'Death By GPS' Increasing In America's Wilderness · · Score: 1

    Niiice.

    I think I know what I'm looking at next time I have cash to spend.

    wow...

    He -did- have his lights on right? He drove downhill into the water. How did he not notice it!?

  21. Re:Please take responsibility for your life. on 'Death By GPS' Increasing In America's Wilderness · · Score: 1

    Probably because that's a retarded way of phrasing it.

  22. Re:Please take responsibility for your life. on 'Death By GPS' Increasing In America's Wilderness · · Score: 1

    "The article requested is not available."

    Try again.

    Second link is all sorts of special though. What kind of truck driver does that shit?

  23. Re:Please take responsibility for your life. on 'Death By GPS' Increasing In America's Wilderness · · Score: 1

    I'd love to have a GPS that had topo data as well. These road maps are useless when trying to figure out grade, etc.

  24. Re:I'll take one! on Asus, Gigabyte To Replace All Sandy Bridge Boards · · Score: 1

    What kind of chip is it?

    You have fun desoldering a BGA in the middle of a bunch of other SMD/SMT components.

  25. Re:oh, it's a troll on World's Worst Hacker? · · Score: 1

    or one with perl installed.

    You mean with perl on $PATH. That he tried running it repeatedly and didn't hunt for it's location (or check $PATH) shows he really is something 'special'
