  1. What a load on Russia To Help NATO Build Anti-Missile Network · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There are no missile threats from Iran or any where else, this is military contractors making deals and the rest of the humans being to stupid to care or notice.

  2. This is why I like /. on Can Windows, OS X and Fedora All Work Together? · · Score: 1

    Because of these types of articles I love /. that we as a community can give all our talent to solve issues or give advice, really one of the coolest things on the Inet.

  3. Shame on Former Student Gets 30 Months For Political DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    I see him more as a patriot then as anything the authorities may paint him as.

    Ahh well Ann Coulter and her ilk are the downside of free speech.

  4. My 2 bits on Google Challenges Facebook Over User Address Books · · Score: 1

    The only good corporations and businesses are those terrified of their customers, the minute the corps think they have the upper hand you get something like AT&T, horrible service, over priced, poorly managed and you have to sign their contract which they can change at any time.

  5. Laugh... on Pope Says Technology Causes Confusion Between Reality and Fiction · · Score: 1

    Tech causing confusion between reality and fiction>

    That's the Roman Catholics shtick.

  6. I'm OK with tracking on Anti-Google Video Runs In Times Square · · Score: 1

    If I get a cut.

  7. Well duh... on Newspapers Cut Wikileaks Out of Shield Law · · Score: 1

    They are politicians, so of course they are going to cut out one of the few information sources that shows you how corrupt the system is.

    I fully expect Julian Assange to experience "sudden accident" or just disappear.

  8. I agree with him on Armed Man Takes Hostages At Discovery Channel HQ · · Score: 1

    That's all.

  9. No surprise on Some Windows Apps Make GRUB 2 Unbootable · · Score: 1

    That sort of thing is SOP for HP and Adobe lately, and certain video game manufacturers.

  10. lol on RIAA President Says Copyright Law "Isn't Working" · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Yeah he checked his bank book and thought "the copyright law is broken"

    "The digital music business internationally saw a sixth year of expansion in 2008, growing by an estimated 25 per cent to US$3.7 billion in trade value. Digital platforms now account for around 20 per cent of recorded music sales, up from 15 per cent in 2007. Recorded music is at the forefront of the online and mobile revolution, generating more revenue in percentage terms through digital platforms than the newspaper (4%), magazine (1%) and film industries (4%) combined. "

    How would I squeeze every last cent out of a clients art/music? Oh I wouldn't I'm a human.

  11. I agree on Military Personnel Weigh In On Being Taliban In Medal of Honor · · Score: 1

    With the comment "Don't really care which side just want to win" and that's how it is for me in MW2, don't care if I'm special forces or insurgents in a favela, I just want to win.

  12. yatta on Bicycles As a Gateway To Government Control · · Score: 1

    I'm a "pro population control" kind of guy, I think it's clear we have a "surplus" of humans when people like this guy (Maes) and frankly if we were all riding bikes to work or walking we wouldn't be fat, we would have far less air pollution and we would have an awesome public transportation or better city planning.
    I think 1 billion humans is as large as we should ever get on this planet.

  13. Why on Web-Based Private File Storage? · · Score: 1

    Why do you have things on your computer that you don't want people to see, and they aren't encrypted or otherwise protected?

    Sorry just can't get past that question.

  14. Go turtles! on The Gulf's Great Turtle Relocation Project · · Score: 1

    This way they have a chance, and I think most people underestimate the adaptability of animals, they may be fine navigation wise, but what will they come back to?

  15. Re:Worked for M$? on Deported Russian (Spy?) Worked At Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Russian spy with access to M$'s internal network and security policies, if he knew how to hack how further could he have gotten?

    The ultimate (well to me) put a kit on a master iso that gets released in the 10's of thousands if not more.

  16. Worked for M$? on Deported Russian (Spy?) Worked At Microsoft · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wouldn't that be something if you could rootkit a master ISO for M$'s Windows retail disk.

    It would explain so much...

  17. Re:OK on Chile First To Approve Net Neutrality Law · · Score: 1

    Good point, I hadn't thought of it that way.

    Maybe this country needs another depression, might slap that jade out of our eyes, to bad we would probably lose everything we worked for for 200 years.

  18. OK on Chile First To Approve Net Neutrality Law · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What Chile does: (what looks like) Decent Net Neutrality
    What America does: Massachusetts Bids To Restrict Internet Indecency

  19. LOL (yes I lol'ed) on Apple To Issue a 'Fix' For iPhone 4 Reception Perception · · Score: 1

    "Perception fix" that is so awesome, very 1984 double plus good.

    What's really getting fixed here?

  20. piffle on Verizon Hints At Scrapping Unlimited Data Plans · · Score: 2, Informative

    so the 2 or 3% of users exercising their right to unlimited data (their right because they paid for that) are bringing down your network.

    Then your network is sub standard, try putting some money back into your network so you can grow your user base, because other countries (such as Finland) don't seem to have the problems that ATT and Verizon have with bandwidth.

    I'm at the point in my life that if *any* corporation is making a change, it's to screw me and make them more money while offering fewer services.

  21. Piffle on Flight of the Desktops · · Score: 1

    More and more schools require students to have laptops.
    There's your "explosion"...

  22. Looks nice but.. on Updated Mac Mini Aims For the Living Room · · Score: 1

    With everything packed in it now, will these mac mini's die from heat death in 18 months just like the Time Capsule?

  23. This should be interesting. on UK Newspaper Websites To Become Nearly Invisible · · Score: 1

    Most of Murdoch's "news" is gossipy fluff and propaganda, so here's hoping this move sends the rest of his empire down the irrelevant hole that Myspace fell down.

  24. Try this on Best Solutions For Massive Home Hard Drive Storage? · · Score: 1

    I use these:

    Depends on how far you want to scale.

  25. Wow on Massive Number of GoDaddy WordPress Blogs Hacked · · Score: 0, Offtopic
