  1. Re:soory on Chinese Government Ramps Up Weather Control Efforts · · Score: 1

    If you use a spy, tech stolen. If you use an engineer, structure cap'd.

  2. Re:Now these guys have some balls on Iran Wants To Clone Downed US Drone · · Score: 1

    Also would be interesting to see what China is bidding.

  3. Re:P0WN3D! on German Court Issues Injunction Against iPhone & iPad · · Score: 5, Funny

    I thought the poetic part was that the German economy was the only one in the Euro where people might actually be able to afford an iPhone/Pad.

  4. Re:No need to help your competitors on Ask Slashdot: Open Vs. Closed-Source For a Start-Up · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think it might depend on how the company is viewed in the industry. Will you gain some street-cred by releasing it as open-source after your initial advantage is becoming less relevant? Perhaps there is an option to open-source the code after it's been in the wild for some time, and the company has new and better secrets to push their latest products?

  5. Re:Peh. on Paper On Super Flu Strain May Be Banned From Publication · · Score: 5, Funny

    You do realise that half the world could die from a virus like this without anybody from America ever being infected, right?

  6. Re:Police Ssurveillance on Two New Fed GPS Trackers Found On SUV · · Score: 1

    That's an awesome idea. I'd be keen on getting the free Lithium battery that comes with it too!

  7. Re:Good reason... on iPhone Keylogger Can Snoop On Desktop Typing · · Score: 2

    Also from tfa, keeping the phone > 3 inches from the keyboard also prevents it, and I assume different desk surfaces, types of wood/steel, keyboard material, type of keyboard (laptop keyboards?), keyboard trays, paper lying on a users desk and other sources of vibration interference also defeats this attack. It's almost laughable they bother suggesting setting extra permissions for the accelerometer's sample rate, when so many things need to fall into place for this to have a chance of revealing anything of value in the first place.

  8. Re:Do you drink more milk because of it? on Competing Contests To Create Pro- and Anti-Piracy PSAs · · Score: 1

    If anything, it will "justify" the cynical teens "pirating" content as "ironic" or "sarcastic".

    This is EXACTLY how I feel as a 28 year old. Should I see a doctor?

  9. Re:Live by the sword... on HTC Sues Apple Using Google Patents · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the IP Lawyers and Patent Attorneys are making far to much money to ever let that happen.

  10. Re:No surprise. on Pakistan Lets China View US Stealth Technology · · Score: 1

    I guess we'll have to wait and see the results. You may find their children tested better than yours. Will you still accuse them of cheating then?

  11. Re:No surprise. on Pakistan Lets China View US Stealth Technology · · Score: 1

    That's because the Chinese are smarter, and their steps forward are quicker, hence they skipped the "F117" step. Their children pay attention in school. Yours don't.

  12. Re:How do they tell? on Verizon Cracks Down On Jailbreak Tethering · · Score: 1

    That's an interesting point, I wonder (if that were the case) what their position would be if you have a netbook with a cellular device built-in, and use it for voice and data? Would your data end up getting blocked because of a non-mobile user agent?

  13. USB mounting ON Android or OF Android? on Update Brings Android USB Mounting To Chromebooks · · Score: 1

    Does it mean mount a usb device on the Android or mounting Android to elsewhere? The later is how it reads.

  14. Not 1Gbps on Landmark Steps Forward For Australia's NBN · · Score: 2

    100Mbps It's just capable of 1Gbps for later upgrade.

  15. Re:The best defense is a strong offense on Chinese Military Admits Existence of Cyberwarfare Unit · · Score: 1

    I was suspicious about the "30" since that's approximately how many soldiers you'll have in your average platoon. I makes a lot more sense (to me anyway) that they'd be training *teams* of 30, instead of just 30.

  16. Re:The best defense is a strong offense on Chinese Military Admits Existence of Cyberwarfare Unit · · Score: 1

    The only part I don't believe is the number 30. Maybe add a couple 0's.

  17. Re:Yeah, I want a Sony Pony too on Ask Slashdot: How Should Sony Compensate PSN Users? · · Score: 1

    Yacht*

  18. Re:..and the UK? on Why Does the US Cling To Imperial Measurements? · · Score: 1

    You're wrong.

  19. Re:Couldn't agree more on Gearbox Boss Bemoans Superfluous Multiplayer Modes · · Score: 1

    GTA4. 'nuff said.

  20. Re:Couldn't agree more on Gearbox Boss Bemoans Superfluous Multiplayer Modes · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yep, pretty much, or you could sumarise that by saying games are just too piss easy these days. I blame console gamer scum.

  21. Re:"No consequences for violence" on Do Violent Games Hinder Development of Empathy? · · Score: 1

    Want to talk positive contributions? I wasted my entire childhood & teen years playing the most violent videogames I could find, everything from Carmageddon to Blood II to GTA (I used to know the streets of GTA3 better than my home town.) A decade and a half down the track: I'm a well adjusted & responsible member of the community. Do my community first aid course every year. In stable professional employment. Volunteer in my countries Army Reserve (& have help directly in a couple major national disaster recoveries) Can't remember the last time I was in a fight & have no criminal record. So what positive contributions are you making after playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure?

  22. Aussie Aussie Aussie on Teen Cancels Party After 200,000 RSVP On Facebook · · Score: 1

    We have the fucking best parties!

  23. Drug Trafficking on Cocaine Found At Kennedy Space Center · · Score: 1

    So now we are in the business of trafficking drugs over not only national borders but interplanetary borders too.

  24. Re:Video/Audio recording clip? on William Shatner Wakes Up Crew for Final Discovery Mission · · Score: 1

    Yeah, wtf?! Why wouldn't they post it?

  25. Re:The moral of the story on HBGary Federal CEO Aaron Barr Steps Down · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They also exposed the fraudulent plans of a major security firm. Shouldn't it fortify the position that corporations holding those kind of government contracts should come under more scrutiny?
