  1. So no more social networking for politicians? on Illinois Bans Social Network Use By Sex Offenders · · Score: 1

    And as a side effect, Illinois can no longer hold political rallies. Not even party specific, if many of the members of either party were to tweet or update their Facebook status while visiting there they would be in violation.

  2. /. "Affect"? on Videogames Sharpen Player Vision · · Score: 1

    They should have had another group reading /. for 8 hours to see the affects.

    If it does the opposite of 1st person shooters, and makes vision worse, we all may have no choice but to go home and game for a few hours to repair any damage done to our eyes throughout the day.

    This study needs more funding!

  3. Re:It's bad enough that the police can do this... on MPAA Kills California Anti-Pretexting Bill · · Score: 1

    I think you should try "pretexting" as one of the morons who voted this down and see if that has a low chance of getting you caught.

  4. Re:Dupe? on Final PS3 Launch List Shows 13 Games For America · · Score: 1

    So which one is from EA Sports? NBA Live '07?

  5. Re:The Art of War, The Art of Deception on China - We Don't Censor the Internet · · Score: 1

    Sounds a lot like the Administration where I work.

    "Anytime we suggest that China is censoring the Internet you will hear protestations to the contrary. If we confront them with facts, they will tell us we misunderstand the situation, but they will "look into it." They will never look into it. They will simply have diverted our concerns so they can keep playing the same game."

    "We will lose a lot of trade to China, for instance, and give them terms so good we will be disadvantaged, and then any benefits we expected to receive from expectations of reciprocal concern will never materialize."

    Replace "China" with "Administrators", and the entire post still makes sense. Not sure if I am going for "funny" or not on this one......

  6. Quick answer on Hell.com Domain Name Up For Sale · · Score: 1

    Jack Thompson?

  7. Re:Just like France on French Lawmakers Approve 'iTunes Law' · · Score: 1

    "If the manufacturer forces him to use product A only with product B, the customer cannot make this decision. If he is forced to use product A if he wants to use product B, this violates the laws of free trade."

    So, using your theory, make "Product A" an XBox, and "Product B" Halo 2 fox XBox. Is this violating the laws of free trade? You are being forced to use product A if you want to use product B.

    Does this new law now mean that in France, Microsoft must make the XBox play Gamecube games, along with every other console game for every console if they do not want to violate the law of free trade?

  8. Re:World's fastest? on World's Fastest Internet Cafe · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't that be RTFFFHFPNTTI, you can guess what the extra "f" is for.

  9. Re:Should rename the book on PGP & GPG · · Score: 1

    If you get lonely, just borrow the book from your local library. Before you can even return it, you will be "visited" by the DHS and NSA.

    And, if you are fortunate enough to have read the book before they get there, one way ticket to Gitmo! If you need to secure your email, you MUST be a terrorist. Then you can not worry about being lonely anymore, indefinately.

    Win-Win.

  10. Re:Uh, Okay? on 2.5" Drives On the Desktop · · Score: 1

    If you are going to quote Sublime, do it right

    "And furthermore, Susan, I wouldn't be THE LEAST BIT surprised to learn that all four of them smoke marijuana cigarettes, Reefers."

  11. Re:truly not an american way on Pirate Party Comes to the U.S. · · Score: 1

    I swear i am not a grammer/spelling nazi, but it was so close to your sig i couldn't help it.

  12. Re:truly not an american way on Pirate Party Comes to the U.S. · · Score: 1

    I prefer the "e" in heroes as it seems to be missing these days.

  13. Re:Buckle Up on Telecoms Facing $50 Billion Lawsuit for Wiretaps · · Score: 1

    Forget the NSA, TripMasterMonkey is spying on you ;)

    The sad part is, he gathered all of that info without even tapping a phone or keeping tabs on phone calls, just good, old fashioned legwork.

  14. Real World on MMORPG Cheating For Profit · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't see how this deffers from the real world in which we live in. People will undoubtably exploit whatever there is for them to exploit.

  15. Re:this is great but... on Broadband from Airships · · Score: 1

    Well, if your landline does shit the bed after the storm, this could come in pretty handy.

  16. Current Slashdot Poll on Cringley Thinks Apple & Intel Are Merging · · Score: 1

    http://slashdot.org/pollBooth.pl?qid=1283&aid=-1/ Apple-Intel alliance: A good idea?

  17. Re:dupe on Red Hat Lays Groundwork for Fedora Foundation · · Score: 1

    And with the handy "Goggle Slashdot" box at the bottom of the screen, finding dupes is that much easier.

  18. $126,155.29 on Who Should Help LinuxFund Distribute $126,155.29? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hello Sir,

    I have $126,155.29 of unused donations that I cannot access. Please give me your bank account number and all of your other personal information, and i will deposit the enitre amount in your account. Once it is received, all i ask is that you send me back 50%, leaving 50% for your troubles. Thanks.

  19. Battlestar Galactica on The Rise of the Internetwork · · Score: 1

    If Battlestar Gallactica and/or a few other shows were broadcasted this way i'm sure it would carry quite a following.

  20. Re:I'd argue the opposite.. on Subjecting Yourself to Experimental Meds · · Score: 1

    "Why would Internet users subject themselves this type of thing more than others? If we have the ability to find out about the experimental meds online, we'd know better what we were dealing with, and know enough not to subject ourselves unnecessarily."

    Exactly! Internet users would NEVER fall for this because we have access to information so as not to be fooled. That is why all the 419scammers/419scumbags and such never fool us internet users.

  21. Tiger Woods on Red Hat Founder Offers Help in Apple vs.Tiger Lawsuit · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Reminds me of when Tiger Woods tried to stop a golf course from using its name "Tiger's Eye", which it was named way before Tiger Woods became Tiger Woods. He obviously lost, but he did manage to get Nike to remove all of it's products from the Pro Shop!

  22. Google news from future on Google TrustRank · · Score: 1

    I think you'll agree that it's better than Duped Google news from the past.

  23. Keyboards are havens for super bugs?? on Keyboards are Havens for Super Bugs · · Score: 1

    I thought the Windows boxes that the keyboards get plugged into are the havens for super bugs.

  24. Re:How is this "online"? on U.S. to Require Passport To Re-Enter Country · · Score: 1

    Because if you are driving to/from Canada, and there is traffic in front of you, you are "On line", so therefore YRO does stand for "Your Rights On line"

  25. Re:DNA instead of passwords. on What Will We Do With Innocent People's DNA? · · Score: 1

    Your "What about the guy..." was so much better than my "What about the guy..." Darn you insightful people.
