  1. Re:What Sort Of Outfit Are They Running There? on Redditors (and Popehat) Versus a Bus Company · · Score: 1

    It depends on the players you are looking for. Are you looking for those skilled at degrading ad hominem attacks or reasonable intellectual debate? If the first, I am available. If the second, please look elsewhere.

  2. Re:No DRM on ORBX.js: 1080p DRM-Free Video and Cloud Gaming Entirely In JavaScript · · Score: 2

    You are assuming media will still be available in those forms. If a way is found to individualize files and rape customers for personal information at the same time, I seriously doubt that type of media will be around for long.

  3. Re:Florida on Florida Teen Expelled and Arrested For Science Experiment · · Score: 1

    The are just now allowing integrated proms in Georgia. Florida is still a state away.

  4. Re:Handcuffs on MPAA Executive Tampers With Evidence In Piracy Case · · Score: 1

    As a U.S born trailer park raised American I can honestly conjecture the Vikings will burn him at the stake. If only conjecture was truth.

  5. Re:collectables have a limit. on 2014: Planetary Resources To Launch Their First Satellites · · Score: 1

    Let me get this strait. You want to black mail a country with a multi-trillion dollar GDP that has no qualms about killing people with drones? Let me know how that works out for you.

  6. Re:Hangin's too good for him on Suspect Arrested In Spamhaus DDoS Attack · · Score: 1

    It needs another shithead that thinks the net should be unregulated except for free services that block unwanted content?

  7. Re:Hangin's too good for him on Suspect Arrested In Spamhaus DDoS Attack · · Score: 1

    zen.spamhaus.org replaces sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org in most configurations. If you are currently using sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org you should replace sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org with zen.spamhaus.org.

  8. The end of block by assumption on Hollywood Studios Fuming Over Indie Studio Deal With BitTorrent · · Score: 3, Informative

    I ditched warner bro's cable because they assumed all my UDP traffic was P2P. The went from shaping UDP to flat out blocking it. I wouldn't doubt they have hope other ISPs would follow. Anything legitimizing P2P would mean they couldn't block UDP based on assumption. Well. Considering how clue free their networking engineers seem to be, that might not be true.

  9. Count me ignorant on Ask Slashdot: Service-Heavy FOSS Hosting? · · Score: 1

    that has the penalty of administration, backup, DR planning, bigger security footprint etc. I thought those were things you never stopped doing. Are these places really doing that for you or is it just pie in the sky? Tell me more of these magical places where hardware never fails, content never needs to be backed up, and security is so good you don't need to bother yourself with it any longer.

  10. Re:Tax payment on BitCoin Value Collapses, Possibly Due To DDoS · · Score: 1

    You can write a check off an account in any county with an exchangeable currency to pay your federal taxes in the U.S. as long as the amount after the exchange is correct. You will be charged (fined) for the cost of exchange; but, it will be accepted.

  11. I predict... on Speeding Ticket Robots — Laws As Algorithms · · Score: 1

    I will run red lights for 1 day and argue I should only get 1 ticket.

  12. Re:Anthrax = Weapon of Mass Distraction on Why Do Pathogen Researchers Face Less Scrutiny Than Nuclear Scientists? · · Score: 1

    I guess terrorist will have to get cocaine popular before using it. Kinda defeats the whole terror thing when people are all happy and stuff though.

    Where was the "grim milestone" protest for Obama's Obama didn't go tarded and start as many wars as he could.

    In the 70s and 80s, the anti-nuclear crowd was able to spread lots of FUD Yeah. FUD. Because humans never get lazy or forget to expect the unexpected.

    because it helped the left gain political power. Yeah. Because every time there is an anti-nuclear protest it only charges the left.

    "during the outbreak the fatality of SARS was less than 1% for people aged 24 or younger, 6% for those 25 to 44, 15% for those 45 to 64, and more than 50% for those over 65."

    Are you saying it is less important because it is a possible resolution to the "social security crisis"?

    What?!? I couldn't find any of the expected juvenile jokes involving scientists, small things, and magnifying glasses.

    That sounds like he has a pretty good teacher. If it were me, I'd be fine with the link Google produced. :P

  17. He is full of it. on Is Eccentric Sven Olaf Kamphius To Blame For Spamhaus DDoS? · · Score: 1

    He is not fighting for a free and open internet. CyberBunker says it accepts business from any site as long as it does not deal in “child porn nor anything related to terrorism.” This tells you immediately he is NOT fighting for a free and open Internet. He is fighting for the right to spam because he deems spam acceptable. I'm in favor of a free and open Internet. Completely free, spam, porn, games, copyrighted content, etc... I also believe in being allowed to use RBL's to filter out spamers like Kamphuis. I don't give a rats ass what people are into. Regulating avenues of communication will never have a positive affect on society He needs to stop pretending to be our friend. He isn't and deserves to get bitch slapped for it.

  19. Can I change how it is used? on Why Your Next Phone Will Include Biometric Security · · Score: 1

    Biometric devices are very good at providing a user name. I would never us them for anything else.

  20. Re:Orly? on Why Your Next Phone Will Include Biometric Security · · Score: 1

    People exist electronically. Law enforcement moved on to DNA in the 90's. If you get arrested they take a DNA sample as well as prints for your physical identity. Having a guarantee you are the one using your phone ties you to anything that is associated with your phone. The more phones are being used for banking to purchasing goods, the more having it tied to you as an individual the better it will be for law enforcers. They can then easily identify a person physically and electronically.

  21. Re:"If the company stumbles, the CEO gets the blam on Why Bad Directors Aren't Thrown Out · · Score: 1

    The one where people doing the work do not get laid off before "the CEO gets blamed". The one where the workers designing/developing the companies products and future are not alienated, pissed off, or bullshitted out, by someone's brother in law getting hired.

  22. Re:Samsung laptops on Spanish Open Source Group Files Complaint Over Microsoft Use of UEFI Secure Boot · · Score: 1

    You cleared the BIOS with a jumper. You had two interfaces on that BIOS. One was a GUI for Windows NT users. The other was much like grub2. You had to be in one or the other to install a Windows OS or a Unix OS. IMHO, installing a version of NT for each language wouldn't be considered installing multiple OS's.

  23. Re:Superior Unix Architecture? on Targeted Attack Campaign Uses Android Malware · · Score: 1

    Windows being crappy code isn't the only complaint by any means. The fact that it is locked down so the user doesn't have control is as big a complaint. Having to hack your phone to gain control is a perfect example of lack of control.

  24. Don't knock yourselves out on proprietary compat on KDE's Calligra Office Suite For Android Released · · Score: 1

    I can see some kind of aftermarket converter for non-standard documents; but, I really don't see a need to support proprietary documents. New platforms like mobile devices should force the older desktop model to conform to them, imho.
