  1. Re:They listen only when they want to? on Japan Moves Toward Blocking Online Child Porn · · Score: 1

    The Japanese catch whales for research.

    The conclusion appears to be that they taste very nice.

    Exactly. They even end up in Los Angeles restaurants.

  2. shame on Tetris Clones Pulled From Android Market · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Falling Blocks is a nice little game. It's on my phone right now, so here's hoping that Google won't 'pull an Amazon' and vanish it off the device.

  3. still waiting on Facebook Bug Lets Hackers Delete Friends · · Score: 1

    Wake me up when a FB exploit is discovered that actually removes all the data I ever put into their site, and genuinely deletes my account.

  4. Hatch on Lost Ends · · Score: 1

    I live in one (as per TFS). I've actually not even heard of this. I assume it's a television program. that's what I get for not having a TV.

  5. Offline? on ImageLogr Scrapes "Billions" of Images Illegally · · Score: 3, Funny

    currently offline as we are improving the website

    Nay ye scoundrels. Ye hath been slashdotted!

  6. BP makes 93 mil a day on BP's Final "Top Kill" Procedure For Gulf Oil Spill · · Score: 4, Informative

    Except that the government makes more off taxes on oil and it's downstream products than companies like BP make in profit on oil.

    I don't have the tax numbers at my fingertips, but it seems that BP posted $93,000,000 USD profits per day for the first quarter of 2010.

  7. Not on my dime on BP's Final "Top Kill" Procedure For Gulf Oil Spill · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Maybe the government should step in and put and end to this situation themselves.

    So long as they send the bill to BP and not the taxpayers, I'm for it.

  8. Re:terrorists? on PETA Creates New Animal-Friendly Software License · · Score: 1

    They've not killed anyone yet.

    Neither had Al Qadea for time after their creation and organization.

    So, the definition of 'terrorist' now includes those who have harmed no humans, but have cut into business profits? Last I checked, they were not the same.

  9. Re:terrorists? on PETA Creates New Animal-Friendly Software License · · Score: 1

    And who does this harm? Who has been killed?

  10. Re:I think I speak for most of the class when I sa on PETA Creates New Animal-Friendly Software License · · Score: 1

    stupid terrorism-supporting asses.

  11. terrorists? on PETA Creates New Animal-Friendly Software License · · Score: 1

    and near-terrorist (some would say, get rid of the 'near' part) actions.

    Let's list terrorist-like actions they have done. I'll let you start.

  12. Attention whores on PETA Creates New Animal-Friendly Software License · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I've been vegetarian nearly my entire life and vegan for several years, and I have to say that PETA annoys me to no end. One attention seeking stunt after another, and might I add, several that make animal-rights advocates look downright petty. This looks like yet another stunt by them, trying to stay relevant, and get as much exposure as possible. I often interact with people who assume I like what PETA does, but I should say here that I am far from alone, as an animal rights advocate, and as a vegan, when I express my dislike of their tactics. But beyond attention-whoring tactics, they are also intensely hypocritical (google for PETA stockholders Tyson foods). I hope they die soon.

  13. No need on Australia Air Travelers' Laptops To Be Searched For Porn · · Score: 1

    No need for them to strip search. They've already got you naked on their 'turrist' backscatter scanner machines.

  14. Re:What about the providers? on FTC Takes Out Porn- and Botnet-Spewing ISP · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Now, GOOD for the FTC, but where are the upstream / downstream providers in this equation? These guys were not operating from random DSL lines; SOMEONE sold them connectivity and KNEW what they were up to...

    FTFY

  15. NSFW on Google Wave Now Open To All · · Score: 1

    Um, how is /. NSFW?

    Because when I am on /. I am supposed to be working, but I am on /. instead.

  16. not like myspace on Google Wave Now Open To All · · Score: 1

    So it's basically like MySpace then?

    It's a 'real-time' collaboration tool / toolkit. You could build forum software that leverages Wave functionality, however.

  17. Re:Cohen Should Abstain from Any Regret on The Futurama of Physics · · Score: 1

    I know it's late on a Friday when an eldavojohn post only has a score of 2 on it. :p

  18. What is the difference? on Cherrypal Mini-Laptop Now Runs Android · · Score: 1

    What is the difference between a "mini-laptop" and a "netbook?"

  19. Re:Right on Adobe! on Adobe Calls Out Apple With Ads In NY Times, WSJ · · Score: 1

    How much is that Flash development package going for?

    Flash Builder 4, for myself here in the US, would be 699 USD, or 299 USD if I was upgrading.

  20. service vs business on Google Defends Privacy Policies · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You are mistaken, advertising is their core business.

    I consider search to be their main service, but advertising to be their main business.

  21. Ok then do this on Obama Will Nominate Elena Kagan To the Supreme Court · · Score: 4, Informative

    Help and Account >> Classic Index >> Sections >> Politics >> Click checkbox corresponding to red circle with line through it >> Press Save button

  22. owners on Mpeg 7 To Include Per-Frame Content Identification · · Score: 3, Interesting

    According to NEC this will allow the owners of the video to automatically 'detect illegal copies' and 'prevent illegal upload of video content' without their consent.

    If I bought it, that owner is me.

  23. Re:After a month of daily use... on iPad Is Destroying Netbook Sales · · Score: 3, Insightful

    when did it become hip to use crippled devices?

    Outside of /., it's called 'convenient', not 'crippled.'

  24. Jesus on Russian Officials To Investigate Regional President's Alien Abduction Claims · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    How is this claim about UFOs/aliens any different, reality-wise, than the millions of people around teh world who actually believe that a Jew thousands of years ago raised himself from the dead, or that Moses made the sea split so he could travel across it, or that Jacob wrestled with an angel? Let's not make claiming one variety of unprovable phenomena acceptable, but the other to be social and political suicide.
