  1. Re:MS media player on Facebook Sued For Violating Wiretap Laws · · Score: 1

    No, it dosn't, I've run Windows Media Player (Version 11) with a packet sniffer running dozens of times, and every single connection is easily accounted for.

    Care to be more specific?

  2. Roud trip time is what counts. on FTL Neutrinos Explained... Maybe · · Score: 1

    Any possible way to setup this experiment as a round-trip, so that only one clock matters?

  3. Re:What about Natives? on The "Scientization" of Yucca Mountain · · Score: 1

    Yeah, well, everything is sacred to someone, so it's not an excuse.

  4. Re:I can't speak for UK law, but here in the US on Illegal To Take a Photo In a Shopping Center? · · Score: 1

    That sounds like a great idea, until you have an encounter like mine, where the door checker at Fry's noticed an item was rung up twice when I only had one... saved me $20 right there.

    The door checkers arn't to catch customers, but employees, doing scams like ringing up $1000 items for $10 for a friend.

  5. Re:People stay with what they know on .NET Programmers In Demand, Despite MS Moves To Metro · · Score: 3, Informative

    Sharepoint, Visual Studio, Expression suite, the Tablet API, the Surface platform, Silverlight, many of the Windows 'Live' applications, and the XNA game framework are all written with .NET

  6. Free Speech Zone would be PERFECT. on Phelps Clan Tweets Intent To Picket Jobs Funeral Via iPhone · · Score: 1

    Because they would have to sit out in the zone, or sue to block it...

    I for one would be happy if Free Speech Zones were found unconstitutional, or WBC was neutered, so some good would come out of it.

  7. Re:Taught sin? on Phelps Clan Tweets Intent To Picket Jobs Funeral Via iPhone · · Score: 1

    If I recall correctly, One of my aunts religious books called out "chmod 666" on UNIX systems over 20 years ago... I might be misremembering tho.

  8. Re:Thank you Westboro on Phelps Clan Tweets Intent To Picket Jobs Funeral Via iPhone · · Score: 1

    God impregnated Mary, so logically...

    Well, she was still a 'virgin', but maybe god just has a very small penis?

  9. Re:Amerika on Calif. Appeals Court Approves Cell Phone Searches · · Score: 1

    It's true, I from a communist and now I can't even.

  10. Re:welcome to the living Constitution on Calif. Appeals Court Approves Cell Phone Searches · · Score: 1

    So what is/was the general opion of the 'Governator' in California? I know people like to poke fun, but did he do an OK job?

  11. Re:Why not just have fun with it? on Calif. Appeals Court Approves Cell Phone Searches · · Score: 1

    What I want to do is have a chat-bot that hangs out in teen and adult chat rooms, and entices private chats, then translates the ages of the subjects...

    So that a 30 something guy who thinks he's going to meet a 25 year old woman is actually talking to a 15 year old girl... except sometimes that 15 year old girl will be FBI/Chris Hanson/etc.

    Hilarity Ensues.

  12. Re:Passcode on Calif. Appeals Court Approves Cell Phone Searches · · Score: 2

    It's nice being white, isn't it?

  13. Re:Paying our enemies on Is Off-Shoring a National Security Threat? · · Score: 1

    Many years ago, I read that there has never been a war between two countries with McDonalds resturants... still true?

  14. Re:Ironic? on Children Helped Decorate Prehistoric Caves of France · · Score: 2

    1992... a few years ago... fuck, we're getting old.

  15. Ironic? on Children Helped Decorate Prehistoric Caves of France · · Score: 1

    I recall some article about some kids getting in trouble for putting graffitti into a cave like this (searches fail me at the moment...) with pre-historic grafitti...

    I found it somewhat ironic.

  16. Re:It doesn't matter... on Canadian Ice Shelves Halve In Six Years · · Score: 1

    Some marginally inhabitable places may become uninhabitable, but other uninhabitable places may become habitable.

    It's change, not always bad, or always good. Fighting against global warming is acting like the RIAA in the face of online music downloading. You arn't going to be able to stop it, so you best learn how to deal with it. Prepare to deal with people moving from flooded areas, and prepare to plant crops futher north in Canada/Siberia, those melted glaciers will expose rich virgin soil that will need good managment to prevent erosion.

    In any case, and reguardless of cause, it's too late to stop global warming (barring an extreme solution like a giant space parasol) since the gasses already in the atmosphere arn't going away overnight.

    The blame game is all pointless politics, since we'll be out of fossil fuels soon enough anyway. We need to be able to move past that, and rationally deal with the effects, whatever they may be.

  17. User training problems on Ask Slashdot: Calculators With 1-2-3 Number Pads? · · Score: 1

    The easiest solution is to simply mentally adjust all telephone numbers, 555-1212 becomes 555-7878, 867-5309 becomes 261-5903, and 911 becomes 377.

    Problem solved.

  18. Re:Problem on Samsung May Try To Block Next iPhone In Europe Too · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but this is "Being an Asshole with a Smartphone", which is different, because the patents on "Being an Asshole on the Internet" are about to expire.

    It's like the drug companies adding a tiny inert ingredient to a 'new' drug.

  19. Re:Shatner is Trolling on William Shatner On Star Trek Vs. Star Wars · · Score: 1

    Someone please mod parent up.

    Anyway...

    the usual complaint is about the sound they make... easy enough to justify, the "sound" is electromagnetic interferance produced by the high energy engines and weapons being picked up by the headsets.

  20. Re:Difference in fans on William Shatner On Star Trek Vs. Star Wars · · Score: 1

    So you are saying Star Trek fars = Christians, and Star Wars fans = Islamics?

  21. Re:Do a test to find the psychopaths/sociopaths... on Evaluating the 'Doofus Factor' In Corporate Governance · · Score: 1

    Or if they were black...

    I have a strong suspicion that the reason serial killers are usually white is because of racial bias in the police focusing on minority suspects. A black serial killer wouldn't get very far because just by being black he's unjustifibly under more scrutiny...

  22. Re:Sorry... on Court Reinstates $675k File Sharing Verdict · · Score: 1

    So, could you just move to Canada/UK/Austrila (or some other country that you know the language) and not pay a penny?

  23. I'm waiting for the reverse suit. on Did HP Bilk Its Shareholders? · · Score: 1

    Not HP vs. Shareholder, but people who shorted some stock sueing the company because it's value went up.

    That would be hilarious.

  24. Re:Ooh, do "climatologists" next! on Seismologist Manslaughter Trial Begins Next Week · · Score: 1

    Nope, if temperatures fail to rise, that means they were successful in stopping it, thus saving the world. If temperatures rise, it's because we didn't listen to the warnings...

    It's just like this tiger repellant rock.

  25. Re:Honesty in naming on Obama To Sign 'America Invents Act of 2011' Today · · Score: 1

    Or you, know, someone might murder them to profit from their patent...

    Ideally the governement will avoid setting up situations where it's profitable to commit murder.
