  1. Re: Why is this news? on NSA Ally Spied on US Law Firm · · Score: 1

    "US lawyers know what legal protections they have when working in the USA or outside the USA"

    Just like anyone else. Not much :D

  2. Re:How is presenting all theories a problem? on South Carolina Education Committee Removes Evolution From Standards · · Score: 1

    It is possible to turn lead into gold. It just takes a lot of energy, and you wouldn't like the result, because it would glow even in the dark :D

  3. Re:We don't know that. on Graphene Conducts Electricity Ten Times Better Than Expected · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about? Dice didn't have to adapt, just keep everything unchanged and take the coin.

  4. Re:Classic Slashdot on Why the Latest FISA Release By Google Et Al. Means Squat · · Score: 1

  10. Re:CNN link warning!!! on 100-Year-Old Photo Negatives Discovered In Antarctica · · Score: 2

    Does your status bar prints: "Warning, In light of a certain Der Spiegel revelation in the last few days, consider following this link." ?

    I, for one, didn't know anything about any problems in following a CNN link.

  11. contradicting statements on Employee Morale Is Suffering At the NSA · · Score: 1

    this:
    "feels that it is had no support from the White House even though it's been carrying out publicly approved intelligence missions"
      means
    White House doesn't support it, but the public supports it

    this:
    Literally, neighbors are asking people, 'Why are you spying on Grandma?'"
    means
    the public doesn't support it

    So, it looks like, NO ONE supports the NSA, except some power hungry rogue elements.

    They could have used some reminder. If they were honest bible thumpers, then they wouldn't have had that sinful affair with the snake and the apple.

  15. Re:How about Yahoo "bots", Bing "bots" ? on Google Bots Doing SQL Injection Attacks · · Score: 1

    A DDOS is by definition a distributed denial of service. If it was a deliberate attempt, it would be DDDOS.
    I don't attack Microsoft but let's make sure we use terminology properly.
    It wouldn't be a DDOS for a different reason: a Bing bot would not qualify as distributed.

    If you create a faulty product that causes property loss or death, heads must fall. In China, they just shoot the CEO in cases like this.
    For that huge income they should at least pick the people who pick the people who do the quality control.

  21. Re:exception handling on Engineers Invent Programming Language To Build Synthetic DNA · · Score: 1

    So, more like conditional statements than comments.
    So they are more likely #ifdef followed by code than // followed by ramblings.
