  1. Re:Wikileaks done in by its own leak on Wikileaks Suspends Publishing Of Cables Due To "Financial Blockade" · · Score: 1

    Note that the flow of money to Wikileaks was not inhibited until they decided to leak things about banks.

    Agreed. Bank of America, Visa, MasterCard, PayPal and Western Union == the U.S. government.

  2. Re:Ron Paul should give away his money on Ron Paul Wants To End the Federal Student Loan Program · · Score: 1

    Good Idea. A "career" at Wal-Mart might give him some insight. Well, if his mouth wasn't so firmly planted around Sam Walton's cock that is.

  3. Re:Worse than that. The subsidies are debt based on Ron Paul Wants To End the Federal Student Loan Program · · Score: 1

    If your going to indenture future servants why not pick the smart ones? I think Ron fuck everybody that isn't rich Paul is on to something. Er on something. I haven't quite figured out which.

  4. Re:American economy on Solar Panel Trade War Heats Up · · Score: 1

    We're on track so far...

    We're on a Maglev track pulled by nuclear powered rocket going down hill towards a pool of magma carrying backpacks filled with TNT so far...

    FTFY

  5. No consumers in China on Solar Panel Trade War Heats Up · · Score: 1

    China has a massive advantage, cheap labor. Even though more of China's population has jobs, wages have not changed and there is still a very large number of people it can add to the work force. As long as China can keep wages low they will not become sufficient enough consumers to benefit trade partners. The WTO needs to agree on minimum wages. Without developing consumers, China will continue to absorb the wold economy without any benefit to world trade.

  6. Re:Ars' Article on Royalties on Microsoft Now Collects Royalties From Over Half of All Android Devices · · Score: 2

    It is all compatibility functionality. If phone makers would ditch VFAT and syncing with Office apps they wouldn't have to pay the devil anything.

  7. Re:An opportunity to get out of your plan on Sprint Cutting Unlimited 4G Data Plans · · Score: 1

    Agreed. When only one provider has a signal in your area switching isn't an option, literally.

  8. Re:They better stop advertising it as "unlimited". on Sprint Cutting Unlimited 4G Data Plans · · Score: 1

    All connecting devices have to connect via wireless. You can't set a phone up to route traffic through a USB nic. Now if someone knows different I would LOVE to hear which one and how!

    Until they can get the rest of the cartel to follow suite.

  10. Re:Preprocessing gone wrong? on Android ICS Will Require 16GB RAM To Compile · · Score: 1

    You can link to C code in D. The same is true with Go.

  11. Not compiling the OS on Android ICS Will Require 16GB RAM To Compile · · Score: 1

    If you built the kernel, all libraries, X, gnome, and all default applications for gnome in parallel you could see a comparison. So you should. That is what they are doing. They are not compiling the OS. They are compiling the entire AOSP.

  13. Pick the research project on Ask Slashdot: How To Enter Private Space Industry As an Engineer? · · Score: 1

    Look for related research projects you like. Get involved with them now if you can. Just communicating with the TA, and if your lucky the professor, will tell you if you will fit in. If you enjoy the project, the TA's like you, and you impress your professor, you are going to make the long haul. The name of a University is nothing compared to a professor with connections.

  14. Let me choose on Why Computer Voices Are Mostly Female · · Score: 1

    I'd prefer Woodie Allen's voice.

  15. Job Creation on UK Government Pushing For 'Trusted Computing' · · Score: 1

    This sounds like it will start an industry. Companies building devices capable of having ID codes changed, much like a MAC address, will find themselves a large customer base.

  16. Satellite better than Moon base regurgitated on Using Fuel Depots Instead of Giant Rockets · · Score: 1

    We are back to the discussion about if we should invest in a moon base or a satellite that sits between earth and the moon. IMHO a satellite would be a better investment.

  17. Activity completion on Hobby Humanoid Robot KHR3HV Rides Bike At 10k/h · · Score: 1

    Outstanding job on the arms. I wonder what process was used to develop the routines, trial and error or machine learning. I can't find any additional info on the "Heart to Heart 4" software.

  18. Re:Not far enough. on Ron Paul Suggests Axing 5 U.S. Federal Departments (and Budgets) · · Score: 1

    Are you trying to convince someone that publicly funded means something different if the agency or service is under local, state, and federal jurisdiction? Does one level of government magically function without funding? I'm happy for you that you prefer the government to be more localized. However, State rights versus Federal rights has nothing to do with a comment stating that if there should be protections for people it should be for all people. If the few wish to remove the benefits designed to protect the many then the many should remove the benefits designed to protect the few.

  19. Re:Not far enough. on Ron Paul Suggests Axing 5 U.S. Federal Departments (and Budgets) · · Score: 1

    We are talking about a plan "Ron Paul suggest" to close "axing" publicly funded agencies "5 U.S. Departments (and budgets)". Again, reading comprehension.

    In what way did I claim they were federally funded? Two words. Reading comprehension. I'm pointing out that what is lost is protection for the 99% and the people that will follow. If they are going to get rid of protection for the common guy, the ones that actually pay for things, they need to get rid of protection for the 1%.

  23. Re:Not far enough. on Ron Paul Suggests Axing 5 U.S. Federal Departments (and Budgets) · · Score: 1

    Ah yes. The "Americans are lazy/spoiled" argument. Then again you might judge everyone by comparing them to yourself. Regardless, I've actually been to other countries. Some have serious problems with poverty. They all have a common thread. The wealthy use the government to separate themselves and their money from the general population. While the common folk work to build and maintain the country the wealthy avoid contributing like the plague. The 20% that latch their mouths to the cocks of the wealthy are the government. If you want to see someone that perfectly fits that profile go here: Richie Rick
