  1. Sobering to realized that Cerf cashed in too on TCP/IP Might Have Been Secure From the Start If Not For the NSA · · Score: 1

    The crypto tools were part of a classified NSA project he was working on at Stanford in the mid 1970s to build a secure, classified Internet. 'At the time I couldn't share that with my friends,' Cerf said."

    Another one drops into my asshole category for working for intelligence/military/military contracting. And they probably almost all think they were "serving America".

  2. The big boys' conceit is.... on Microsoft's Security Products Will Block Adware By Default Starting On July 1 · · Score: 1

    ...that the advertisements that they serve are "wanted".

  3. Yay, progress on The Highest-Flying Wind Turbine · · Score: 1

    And thus, technology continues to uglify the world.

  4. Zuckerberg not exactly a well-rounded person on Eric Schmidt On Why College Is Still Worth It · · Score: 1

    Case in point, Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of college, and I don't think anybody would say he made a mistake.'"

    You would if you don't think that making money should be a prime goal in life.

  5. Bad reasoning on What Makes a Genius? · · Score: 1

    The assumption that genius requires "achievement" of some kind is smuggled in.

  6. I wish it would be banned in the US on Battlefield 4 Banned In China · · Score: 1

    Militarism propaganda violence shit.

  7. Takeover in Jeopardy on Nokia Takeover In Jeopardy Due To Alleged $3.4B Tax Bill In India · · Score: 2

    I'm glad somebody finally knocked that snooty Ken Jennings off his perch.

  8. Do what I do on How MOOC Faculty Exploit People's Desire To Learn · · Score: 2

    Fuck with their data. Give them false answers and rub it in.

    I almost never answer online marketing surveys truthfully, particularly when they are required for something they shouldn't be required for. It should be no different when academia does it.

  9. More gun worship on New Real Life Laser-Rifle Cuts Through Metal Like a Blowtorch · · Score: 1

    Guns are so fucking cool, right? Let's keep salivating over them in all their forms.

    Technology assholes.

  10. Vindication! on Study: Our 3D Universe Could Have Originated From a 4D Black Hole · · Score: 2

    I've been saying just this for years.

  11. Ugh, more Torvalds cultism on Linux 3.12 Codenamed "Suicidal Squirrel" · · Score: 1

    The cutesy names don't erase the abusive personality.

  12. BREAKING: Development was also held up.... on SSD Failure Temporarily Halts Linux 3.12 Kernel Work · · Score: 2

    ...for over an hour when Torvalds had to make an emergency run to Albertson's for some toilet paper and hostility medication.

  13. Another casualty of drone culture on Man Killed By His Own Radio-Controlled Helicopter In Brooklyn · · Score: 1

    Will this slow down the march of mechanized, flying-everything-everywhere in our skies? Hopefully.

    I'm sorry for the family's loss.

  14. Re:Special water? on Wildfire Threatens Water and Power To San Francisco · · Score: 1

    You were talking about using your 4x4 to go to places you "wanted to see". That's not a survival use of your 4x4.

  15. Re:Special water? on Wildfire Threatens Water and Power To San Francisco · · Score: -1, Troll

    There are placed I've wanted to see, but after 40 minutes of 20 MPH kindney-busting driving in a 4WD pick-up, I turned around.

    Next time, maybe haul your fat ass on your legs, rather than relying on a big oil-burner while increasing backcountry erosion, and you might get to where you want to go.

  16. I'm hoping that SF suffers from this fire on Wildfire Threatens Water and Power To San Francisco · · Score: 0

    It would wake more people the fuck up.

  17. Is Torvalds abusing people again on Is the Stable Linux Kernel Moving Too Fast? · · Score: 0

    ...in the current debate?

  18. I want.... on DARPA Wants Computers That Fuse With Higher Human Brain Function · · Score: 1

    I want military^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hdefense employees that fuse with higher human brain function.

  19. Re:Presume no notice will be given on Ask Slashdot: When Is It OK To Not Give Notice? · · Score: 1

    Wow, that's deep.

  20. Re:You first! on NZ Professor Advocates Civil Disobedience Against Mass Surveillance · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So this is what fear looks like.

  21. Oh yay on Building a Full-Auto Gauss Gun · · Score: 1

    Technology making guns more prevalent. Slashdot editors' enthusiasm for this is noted, once again.

  22. Yay, onward march of technology on Radical New Icebreaker Will Travel Through the Ice Sideways · · Score: 1

    Let's destroy ocean ice at an even FASTER rate!

    Let's all MARVEL at this new icebreaker technology.

  23. "Defense" my ass on Ask Slashdot: Secure DropBox Alternative For a Small Business? · · Score: 0, Troll

    I manage the network for a defense contractor....Am I wrong?

    Solution to your problem: give up your blood-drenched paycheck and re-examine your life. You're an enabler in the warfare/surveillance state.

  24. Such dull dishwater on Yahoo Receives Special Recognition For Fighting For User Data Privacy · · Score: 2

    In the end, they're a huge internet company that gives all our stuff up to the spooks. "Going to bat" would be doing what Snowden did - INFORMING us. They had years to do that.

  25. Good on The Little Bomb-Detecting Device That Couldn't · · Score: 1

    ...651 bomb-detecting device had one little problem: it wouldn't detect explosives...

    Good.
