  1. If they plot to put explosives in their rectum... on Laptop Ban on Planes Came After Plot To Put Explosives in iPad (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    that will be the day I stop flying. No trip would be worth a cavity search.

  2. Re:Police are right; easyDNS response is drama-que on Police Demand Summary Domain Takedown, Traffic Redirection · · Score: 2

    Has EasyDNS even actually contacted London UK police to verify this is legit? Could just be the "competing commercial online music services based out of London, UK" spoofing the police to drum up business. How could the police expect traffic to be redirected? Sounds phishy...

  3. Re:Stay strong EasyDNS! on Police Demand Summary Domain Takedown, Traffic Redirection · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't care either. Disabling the domain isn't going to bring the site down. Just a minor inconvenience for users.

  4. Stay strong EasyDNS! on Police Demand Summary Domain Takedown, Traffic Redirection · · Score: 1

    Um, why don't they just contact the hosting provider or IP-block owner to takedown the site if they suspect illegal activity? The domain is just an 'easier' way for people to access the site. If EasyDNS succumbs to this I'll have to seriously think about moving to another registrar. Not that I'm running anything quesitonable but what if a user in one of my domains sends something questionable and is investigated by police and orders EasyDNS to takedown my domain... Food for thought.

  5. Re:Stuck on 10.04 on RMS Speaks Out Against Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    I'm in the same boat as you. Didn't upgrade to 10.10 due to Unity. Have tried LinuxMint but it didn't do anything for me. I have been playing with Xubuntu 12.x and have been quite impressed with the clean, simple Xfce desktop. Might switch to that once 10.04LTS is no longer supported.

  6. FUD on VMware, a Falling Giant? · · Score: 1

    Survey sponsored by Oracle or Microsoft?

  7. Time for Android sales to increase? on Apple Acknowledges iPhone 4S Battery Problems · · Score: 1

    Blackberry has frequent network issues, iphone battery issues. Let's see what Android issues pop up the next few weeks...

  8. Re:Beef it up on Terrorists Bomb Moscow Airport · · Score: 1

    Fantastic idea... But will they be far enough outside the airports' perimeter to prevent grenade launchers from being able to hit them?

  9. Re:At least someone has balls (and common sense) on DDoS Attack On Wikileaks Increasing · · Score: 1

    US intelligence? Does such a thing exist??

  10. What?!? on Scammers Can Hide Fake URLs On the iPhone · · Score: 1

    You mean there isn't an App for that?

  11. where's the web site? on Denials Aside, Feds Storing Body Scan Images · · Score: 1

    Can't wait for fedbodyscans.org to pop up!

  12. utter hogwash... on iPad Is Destroying Netbook Sales · · Score: 1

    The feminine computing product that Aqqle released is not destroying netbook sales, notebook sales are destroying netbook sales. Heck, I was going to buy my wife a netbook last Christmas when I found a notebook by the same manufacturer for the same price with better processor, more RAM, DVD drive, larger display and full size keyboard. Netbooks looked like a good deal and were something new a few years ago but they're outdated now. Aqqle's iPad will fair the same, until the iTampon comes out...

  13. terrorist targets? on The World's Largest Data Centers · · Score: 1

    Well done, give terrorists excellent targets for future attacks. Yes, bombing a few buildings or vehicles and killing people will get you in the headlines but take down data centers and you can really screw the world. Or would they avoid them as they may have data stored in them too? Hmmm...

  14. Nein, nein, nein! on Germany Warns Against Using Firefox · · Score: 1

    I vill hear no more insinuations about the German people. Nothing bad happened. Sie werden sich hinsetzen. Sie werden ruhig sein. Sie werden nicht beleidigen Deutschland.

  15. Back to the moon? on Obama Choosing NOT To Go To the Moon · · Score: 1

    When was anyone on there the first time? Can't go 'back' cause nobody has been there to begin with and the gig will be up when a new 'real' video from the moon is available on earth.

  16. name change required? on Best Way To Clear Your Name Online? · · Score: 1

    If you're (un?)fortunate enough to share your name with other people you can just mention that it isn't you. If there's only one of you on Google maybe try changing your name to something common like John Henry.

  17. I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours on Ireland Criminalizes Blasphemy · · Score: 1

    But I think the Irish have a sick sense of humour...

  18. Where does the REAL problem lie? on Broke Counties Turn Failing Roads To Gravel · · Score: 1

    Is it shoddy workmanship and/or overpaid unionized road workers? My guess is both.

  19. Re:Dear Bruce... on Let's Rename Swine Flu As "Colbert Flu" · · Score: 1

    Interesting... He should get in touch with Charmin and get his name and persona on their toilet paper. I'd love to see my crap smeared all over his face and name.

  20. Making a big ditch by blowing up nukes.... on Better Living Through Nukes? · · Score: 1

    Making a big ditch by blowing up nukes -- what could possibly go wrong?

    They could end up with another one of these... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:USA_09847_Grand_Canyon_Luca_Galuzzi_2007.jpg

  21. Keep on truckin' on Linked In Or Out? · · Score: 1

    I wonder if I should loosen up on the paranoia a bit and start networking with some of these folks in case of the all too common layoff scenario that seems to be happening lately. What do other folks here think about this?

    I here think there's no need to worry about the layoff scenario and paranoia. Until the machines take over IT administrators will always be needed. Keep on truckin', you'll be fine.

  22. hmm... on Steve Wozniak To Appear On Dancing With the Stars · · Score: 1

    I wonder which star will be chosen to dance with the Woz.

  23. Re:Canada? on Stephen Hawking Going To Canada · · Score: 1

    Don't forget about all the lumber Canada exported to allow the US to build their crumbling economy, eh?

  24. Re:For real? on LHC Repair To Cost At Least $21 Million · · Score: 1

    It's been a year or so but I thought that was done using the LHC at Cern, no?

  25. For real? on LHC Repair To Cost At Least $21 Million · · Score: 1

    I remember reading about a Large Hadron Collider at CERN(?) in that book Angels & Daemons by Dan Brown. Never did any research about it but it's damn scary that it's possible. That said, I can't wait until the media finally releases where the REAL Jurassic Park is located.
