  1. And it will be hacked in 3 2 1 ... on Senator Releases First Senate Mobile App · · Score: 1

    We have hack!

  2. They're confusing Google with me and the FBI on Google Should Be Logging In To Facebook · · Score: 1

    You shouldn't blame Google for the large numbers of fake FB accounts - it's mostly the FBI and people like myself who are doing oppo research on campaigns that do this.

    FB needs to wake up and realize very few FB people are real.

  3. Re:ftfy (mod Parent Way Way Up) on Devs Worried Microsoft Will Dump .NET · · Score: 1

    I for one think our Pointy Haired Bosses should all go on a cruise to Hades.

  4. Does anyone still use that? on Devs Worried Microsoft Will Dump .NET · · Score: 1

    Seriously, though, HTML5 is a given and the spec for HTML6 is already underway. .NET dying is a good thing.

  5. It's all about the money and no-bid contracts on Checkpoint of the Future Coming Soon To Airports · · Score: 1

    As a former regional Security Officer with counter-terrorism and explosives experience, I can tell you that all this security will do pretty much nothing to stop real terrorist attacks by organized groups.

    But, hey, live in Fear. That's what the terrorists want you to do.

  6. Man, that sure put me to sleep on Microsoft Announces Halo 4, TV For Xbox Live, Kinect Star Wars · · Score: 1

    Wake me when you have a new console or a new idea, ok, folks?

    And putting messed up Windows logos on Apple stores doesn't count as a new idea, by the way.

    There is no reason to engage China militarily when we haven't cleaned up our mess in Iraq and Afghanistan, and now Libya. Another military conflict would be economically and socially disastrous for the US. I'm convinced that China would destroy us quickly if we tried.

    technically, by staying in Afghanistan and Iraq we provide China with free military coverage of sea lanes and easy resource extraction from those countries without them having to pay for it (or at least loan us the money at interest to pay for it) - if we were serious we'd bring our troops home from both wars and let China provide it's own military resources to extract it's own cheap resources, instead of us paying for it.

  8. Pay attention to what they say on China Calls US Culprit In Global 'Internet War' · · Score: 2

    They say "the Government of China did not have anything to do with the attacks".

    They do NOT say "the Chinese Army had nothing to do with the attacks".

    It's all in the details and the saving of face.

  13. Re:This violates my rights as a Canadian citizen on New Bill Would Require US ISPs To Retain User Info · · Score: 1

    Try actually reading the US Constitution.

    See that part about International Treaties compared to Congressional Bills?

    Yeah, that part says Treaties override House Bills made into laws.

    This action violates my treaty rights as a Canadian Citizen.

    As well as those of all EU citizens.

    Which the US is signatory to by international treaty, which by force of law and the US Constitution, is of a higher level than any Congressional action or bill.

    Period.

  22. Re:Domestic production? on White House Explains Transport-Energy Future · · Score: 1

    Using turboprops or fuel-sipping planes like the Boeing 787 cuts energy usage by more than half, provided you take the existing "too old to fly safely" fleet out of operation.

    You'd be wrong. Texas is actually a purple state, slightly blue, that was gerrymandered into a red state.

    oh, as to Cali's high speed rail - there is already increased rail ridership, but most trains (transportation sector) are used to move goods, which is way up (stock sector analyses, mostly proprietary to various investment firms, but rebroadcast on CNBC, CBC, Bloomberg, etc).
