  2. the question is on Google Rolls Out Encrypted Web Search Option · · Score: 1

    will it not only be encrypted from snoopers & sniffers, will it be encrypted from google itself?

  3. ignore them and show it anyway on Decency Group Says "$#*!" Is Indecent · · Score: 4, Insightful

    no matter what you do some bed-wetting crybaby is going to bitch about it, so just ignore them and continue with what you want to do.

  4. it sounds like you can own it on Australian Women Fight Over "Geekgirl" Trademark · · Score: 1

    geek & girl are common terms, anyone can be a geek and there are lots of girls out there so it is only natural some of those girls are going to be geeks (pencilneck not included)

  5. Re: obligatory Thunderdome quote on Critics Say US Antimissile Defense Flawed, Dangerous · · Score: 1

    Dr. Dealgood: Listen all! This is the truth of it. Fighting leads to killing, and killing gets to warring. And that was damn near the death of us all. Look at us now! Busted up, and everyone talking about hard rain! But we've learned, by the dust of them all... Bartertown learned. Now, when men get to fighting, it happens here! And it finishes here! Two men enter; one man leaves.

    Dr. Dealgood: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls... Dyin' time's here.

  6. Re:say goodnight on Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Has Passport Confiscated · · Score: 1

    communication can always fall back on to HF radio for the better educated, and CB radio for joe sixpack and the ghettos,

  7. say goodnight on Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Has Passport Confiscated · · Score: 0, Troll

    the powers that be eventually will either pull the plug or filter the internet, making the ability to express ideas, opinions and communications among the common folk more difficult. it was nice while it lasted.

  8. they better stop it pretty damn soon on Giant Plumes of Oil Forming Below the Gulf's Surface · · Score: 1

    or they could end up poisoning the oceans globally, you know that ocean's circulates and what is in the gulf of mexico will soon be in the atlantic and mediterranean, and eventually find its way in to the indian and pacific oceans,

    even if they stopped it today i wont trust seafood anymore ever.

  9. not accurate estimate on BSA Says Software Theft Exceeded $51B In 2009 · · Score: 1

    I only pirate software that is not available in retail brick & mortar stores.

  10. fuck the federal government on Obama Calls Today's Ubiquitous Gadgets and Information "a Distraction" · · Score: 1

    when they are at their best they are incompetent boobs, and at worst corrupted tyrannical assholes

  11. Re:I wonder ... on Linux Users Donate Twice As Much As Windows Users, On Average · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I was going to say that, but there's no sense in redundantly stating the obvious :)

  12. people still use IE? on Why IE9 Will Not Support Codecs Other Than H.264 · · Score: 1

    i figured between Firefox/mozilla/seamonkey & opera & google/chrome that IE was dieing and all that was left was a niche on some LANs where lan browsing was convenient for the point & click crowd

  13. if it happens to earth on Don't Talk To Aliens, Warns Stephen Hawking · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    then it is because we probably deserved it considering the way we humans treat each other...

    or someday when the human race consumes the resources of earth if we build interstellar space craft we are forced to become the enemies of some other planet much like Hawkings is waring us about = we become the monsters from outer space to some other poor schmucks on some other rock orbiting some other star

  14. some sort of alarm system is needed on Google Street View Logs Wi-Fi Networks, MAC Addresses · · Score: 1

    say for example you have a small wireless LAN, and if someone drives by and parks within a city block of your LAN and trys to connect it would be a good idea to have an alarm notify you of a new connection that puts a popup and plays a sound file from any of the PCs you have on your LAN.

  15. what the TV industry learned from the PC industry on HDTV Has Ruined the LCD Market · · Score: 3, Insightful

    they learned to never give your customers what they really want, just give them something barely adequate and a year later market something just incrementally better thus prompting consumers to buy again, rinse & repeat & rinse & repeat until you can afford that retirement castle on the mountain,

  16. the way i see it on Website Mass-Bans Users Who Mention AdBlock · · Score: 1

    This is my computer, and I am going to run whatever software I want on it including adblock & noscript. websites have abused their users with popups, popunders, animated gifs so dazzling that would make some people have seizures, so fuck the entire internet (nothing personal) just that they lost the privilege of being able to put just anything in my browser.

  17. people are after applications on Oracle Wants Proof That Open Source Is Profitable · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the OS that runs the app is somewhat important in that it needs to be secure and stable, but it is the application on top of the OS that sells, if Oracle can sell a complete solution - in this case a Linux distro with Oracle's database software on top and include service & support, maybe even include remote administration by authorized Oracle IT staff if that sells the product. (i knew SSH would come in handy someday)

  18. thats normal procedure on HP's Moscow Offices Raided In Bribery Probe · · Score: 1

    in the USA that is normal, it is called campaign contributions, or business investments. isn't capitalism grand?; where everything has a price (even your soul)

  19. Re:Cue the Nibiru quacks on Rogue Brown Dwarf Lurks In Our Cosmic Neighborhood · · Score: 1

    it will give all those whackos on CoasttoCoastAM something to talk about for weeks.

  20. i could have saved them a bunch of money on Saturn's Strange Hexagon Recreated In the Lab · · Score: 2, Informative

    i made hexagon shapes in the bird bath in my back yard with the garden hose while spraying water in it in such a way that gets water spinning in a circular direction (to clean out debris and freshen the water)

  21. Re:and this is new news why? on Standards Expert — "Microsoft Fails the Standards Test" · · Score: 1

    so i am supposed to just use my new thousand dollar SDR radio as a doorstop because there is no Linux software for it?

  22. Re:Microsoft IS standards on Standards Expert — "Microsoft Fails the Standards Test" · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Apple is just a monopolistic tyrannical corporation just like Microsoft only worse because you have to use Apple's hardware, so you would be jumping from the pan into the fire going with Apple.

  23. Re:and this is new news why? on Standards Expert — "Microsoft Fails the Standards Test" · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    do a clean install of XP, get SP3 & updates, use nLite to make an image without internet explorer, without outhouse express, without windows media player, (basically just the bare OS, no extra ms-software) then do a clean install with the nLite image, and install openoffice, java, firefox, Gimp, and any FOSS windows app that you need, i been using Linux exclusivly for years until i got an SDR (software defined radio) Flex SDR-1500 and there is no decent software to run it in Linux, wine does a pitiful poor job running it, so i went with XP. i dont love XP but it does the job where linux was failing at it.

  24. damn Sony on Hacker Will Try To Restore Linux Support On PS3 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    as a hardware appliance matures it would only seem normal that as it matures the firmware & software running it would get better, not lose capabilities & features, hey Sony you suck.
