  1. Re:Wireless headsets work on Pittsburgh Cancer Center Warns of Cell Phone Risks · · Score: 1

    Not when you loop it through a ferrite core like I do.

  2. Re:MOTHER FUCKING TRAITORS on Senate Passes Telecom Immunity Bill · · Score: 0

    I wrote my senators. Fat lot of good that shit does.

    You probably forgot to put a few $1,000,000 bills in the envelopes.

    There, fixed that for you.

  3. Democratic control? on Nancy Pelosi vs. the Internet · · Score: 1, Insightful

    ...without first obtaining prior approval from the Democratic leadership of Congress.

    Is she silly enough to think the the Democrats will control Congress forever? When (if) the Republicans regain control, then it will be they who are doing the censoring. Is this what she wants?

  4. Still vulnerable on Brightnets are Owner Free File Systems · · Score: 0

    Clearly they won't prosecute anyone for hosting the random bits, but they WILL prosecute anyone who distributes the URLs that allow the reconstruction.

  5. Can ya tell me, on Cool/Weird Stuff To Do On a Cluster? · · Score: 0

    what's the weather going to be next month?

  6. Re:Thank you on Return of the '70s Microsoft Weirdos · · Score: 0

    ...which Linux/Unix may have done sooner were it not for Windows.

  7. Re:Welcome to our world on Time Warner Cable Tries Metering Internet Use · · Score: 0

    Try discussing these issues with anyone who's not a regular on /. and watch the glassy stares they give back to you.

    That's because the people who aren't regulars on /. just surf the web and read email. They are unaffected.

  8. filtering? on FCC Pitches Free, Bowdlerized Wireless Internet Access · · Score: 0

    the provider must filter out obscene content.
    Hmm... interesting. Just how is it that they're going to block encrypted data?
  9. What kind of success? on Amusement Park Bans PDAs and Smartphones · · Score: 0

    If the experiment is deemed a success the park may make the ban permanent.
    By what metric will they measure this success? If people asked reply they "had more fun" without their PDAs, but attendance to the park drops 15%, would this be considered a success? I highly doubt that attendance will increase.
  10. Re:Not enitrely true... on Securing Your Notebook Against US Customs · · Score: 0

    Yadda, yadda, yadda. That Constitution stuff is so pre-9-11.

  11. What I want to know is... on Running Mac OS X On Standard PCs · · Score: 0

    When can I run OS X on VirtualBox? (if you must ask, on my Linux machine) I would think faking out the special requirements of the OS would be easier in a virtual environment anyway.

  12. distributed... on A Yottabyte of Storage Per Year by 2013 · · Score: 0

    So let's see, 49% of that would go to Google to record the entire web, and 49% would go to the NSA to record the rest of the internet, and 2% for the rest of us?

  13. Re:Develop from Prison on The File-System Fallout of the Reiser Verdict · · Score: 0

    Imagine how he's going to feel when he realizes all the computers run Windows 2000.

    They better put him on suicide watch.

  14. Re:Pixels Are Your Friend on The End of Non-Widescreen Laptops? · · Score: 0

    Do as I do, keep the start bar vertical on the right (or left if you prefer). Works for Windows or Linux. I like it better that way anyway because I find it easier to move my mouse to the right than to the bottom, I get full vertical space, and I can actually read all the tab icon text when I have many windows open. Widescreen works well this way, although I prefer it this way even on 3:4 screens (work area is closer to square).

  15. Re:probably about linking and stuff on Dilbert Goes Flash, Readers Revolt · · Score: 0

    But the feed just sends links to the web page which is just as unviewable!

  16. Re:No Linux? on Dilbert Goes Flash, Readers Revolt · · Score: 0
    It's worse than that. It's apparently IE-only!

    I was using Windows (I normally run K-Meleon) and noticed Dilbert was broken. Then I tried Firefox... still broken. Both have no trouble with other Flash sites. I finally broke down and ran the MS virus installer and lo and behold I could finally see Dilbert.

  17. Re:Controlling robots with law on Distance Record Broken For a Walking Robot · · Score: 0

    The only problem with Asimov's laws is that there's no law that says you have to make robots that abide by Asimov's laws.

    Seagate - "You keep living, we'll keep making drives."

    your friendly government CIA - "We can only keep you safe if we know everything about you."

  19. Re:20 years from now on The Future of Ubiquitous Computers · · Score: 0

    I don't think so. What you describe is technology in reach now. 20 years from now we will be using something you could never predict today.

    So why haven't the "Islamists" threatened Google with death?

    ...or have they?

  21. got it on Nuclear Nose Cones Mistakenly Shipped to Taiwan · · Score: 1

    Taiwanese authorities notified U.S. officials of the mistake, but it was not clear when the notification was made.

    Shall we assume it was after a complete and thorough analysis and reverse-engineering?

  22. couldn't happen here on Network Solutions Suspends Site of Anti-Islam Film · · Score: 0
    Now if Network Solutions were an American company, this could never happen, cuz here in the U.S we love our free speech.

    "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."

    "But recent company moves and revelations hint at what can be expected from the software, which is due for release in late 2014 or early 2015."

    There, fixed that for you.

    Yeah, I'm getting better by the second.

  25. Re:net neutrality on New Legislation Could Eventually Lead to ISP Throttling Ban · · Score: 0

    looks like some senators might actually be listening to their constituents

    Well, it gives the illusion that they are serving their constituents, while they actually know that the FCC is in the pockets of the corporations and nothing will come of this.
