  1. Re:In related news... on Voting Machines Wreak Havoc in Maryland Elections · · Score: 1

    Actually, given the pro proletariat views espoused on their website, I'd think a single dollar would do it...

  2. In related news... on Voting Machines Wreak Havoc in Maryland Elections · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Tom Morello, Tim Commerford, and Brad Wilk agree to license their former band name to a political action group: "Rage Against 'The Machine' indeed seems like a reasonable response", one former member was quoted as saying...
    (I only wish the above were true...)

    Thank you for the wish.

    Overcast and/or heavy fog *would* be quite the challenges. No steel to rub with stone? Ah, well...

    Thanks for the chuckle.

    So, wait: Dick, Jane, and Spot really existed? And they really did run?
    Whoa.

    Lost in the woods... nothing to make a shadow with...

    I still play Tetris, you insensitive clod!
    (sorry, it had to be said)

  9. Sigh. on Blogging All the Way to Jail · · Score: 1

    Given decisions like this one, is there anyone at all who does not view US courts with contempt?
    (besides the judges who continue to get paid, anyway)

  10. Re:"Shoot me, I'm a big noisy parachute" on Paragliding Military Drones Under Development · · Score: 1

    Dropped from 50 miles away (preferably directly upwind), powered until altitude maintenance not as important as silence, capable of gliding in from a mile or so lateral and 2 miles up, couple that with some timing, minimal radar signature - you'd better have some *sharp* observers and operators to detect one of these in your area, and by the time you do, it's probably too late. Poor man's stealth, true, but stealthy nonetheless...

    (irony: capcha code for this reply is "disobey")

  11. Re:Why not just parachute? on Another Pass at the Personal Jetpack · · Score: 4, Informative
  12. Re:Privacy... Microsoft? Hah. on Planning the Future of Privacy at Microsoft · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sure they do - simply incorporate a superlative negative, e.g.:

    "The holes in Microsoft product ensure that no one will worry about privacy because with Windows, there's absolutely none to be had."

  13. Re:Useful for post-war clean up too! on Networked Landmines Work Together · · Score: 1

    That'd work! Assuming the secret is kept that this particular option exists - elsewise the mine becomes useless as the individuals the mines are set out to stop crack the code and detonate the (supposedly) more intelligent mines.
    Oh, well, back to the drawing board...

  14. O/t:-your ID/sig on Scientists Blocking out the Sun · · Score: 1

    ...until such time as it is repaired by Symbiosis, resulting in transparency to gravity and total instant telepathy with others in Symbiosis.. StarDance/StarSeed/StarMind, Robinson, Spider and Jeanne

  15. Re:Wow... How useless. on Google Launches Cost Per Action AdSense · · Score: 1

    Actually, for those of us who have to squeeze the best possible performance out of an inadequate advertising/marketing budget, pay for performance is long overdue. If I have 2 choices, one involving calculating cost per sale from profit per sale times sales per click minus cost per click, and the other involving profit per sale minus cost per sale, even if the two costs are identical I'm slightly ahead, because direct cost per sale doesn't fluctuate the way sales per click sometimes can.

    No, I'm not an accountant, I'm proof one can be boring *without* being an accountant.

  18. Re:It's Hardly Scary on AllofMp3.com Breaks Silence · · Score: -1, Troll

    Ludicrous? Tell it to Iraq, where our nation's elected idiots have ZERO moral purpose in doing so, yet maintain a military occupation force that will have our great-grandchildren paying higher taxes - stop giving even the *weakest* ideas to those c-average intellects, lest we see them made all-too-horribly real.

  19. Rotten roots, rotten fruits on Death By DMCA · · Score: 1

    Start over: Become a storyteller, or any other kind of performer. If you won't do that, seek out those who will, and support them in the time honored tradition of busking - you like what they do, tip 'em! If not, you can be out of earshot in less than a minute, no harm done.

  20. This Windows user on A Working 5D Rubik's Cube · · Score: 1

    Is on slashdot trying to *learn* cool things about tech and its many uses - trolling uber733t *nix snobs like you is just a fringe benefit!

  21. And OF COURSE on CyberTerrorism - Reality or FUD? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Big Brother will be able to protect us better with full visibility into our email and IMing patterns, JUST LIKE they've saved so MANY of our military's lives by intercepting our phone traffic - FUD!!!

    What happened to "Give me liberty, or give me death!"?

    We've forgotten how strong we truly are, under a very careful campaign designed to keep us afraid and convinced we're powerless to act in any direction whatsoever, a massive misdirection of american attention so that they can steal what they're convincing us we don't have while we drool in front of idiot-boxes.

    Sorry, Karl, ol' buddy, the *hard* opiates hadn't been refined when you were alive - satellite TV and Internet-connected PCs, THAT'S the ticket...

    reason not to do business with them: When I found out that the consumer versions couldn't even uninstall *themselves* cleanly, I reasoned there was no way they'd be able to remove anything else...

    So, how *do* they manage to stay in business with such a large share of the security market?
