  1. Re:"Terrorist" is the new "witch." on NSA Confirms It Has Been Searching US Citizens' Data Without a Warrant · · Score: 1

    You forgot filesharers.. they tend to get lumped in together. Copyright infringement must be a gateway 'witch' or something.

  2. Re:Legal Action Hasn't Worked on Judge OKs Class Action Suit Against Apple For E-Book Price Fixing · · Score: 1

    Slap on the wrist? I bet any settlement includes the text "Apple admits no wrongdoing".

  3. Re:... And? on State-Sponsored Hacking Attacks Targeting Top News Organizations · · Score: 1

    The problem is that Google seems to be routinely reading the email accounts of people working at 'Top News Organizations'. This isn't just random automated scanning but a deliberate invasion of privacy.

  4. Re:Really? on Kaspersky: Mt. Gox Data Archive Contains Bitcoin-Stealing Malware · · Score: 1

    Bitcoin is not an insured bank, gone means gone with no legal recourse. Yes, skimmers exist. Credit card companies have far more protection against fraud. What is your 'pro Bitcoin' arguement again?

    US Dollars are also not a bank or a credit card company so why are you trying to compare a form of currency to something its obviously not?

  5. Re:The problem with IM services... on Tor Is Building an Anonymous Instant Messenger · · Score: 1

    I've often wondered why there aren't more apps that can encrypt your voice during a call.

  7. NSA/GCHQ on Interview: Ask Richard Stallman What You Will · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What are your views on the recent NSA activities and how do you think it will change free software & the internet?

  8. Re:Gums up the narrative that IP is for everyone on 90 Percent of Businesses Say IP Is "Not Important" · · Score: 1, Insightful

    IP is only valuable & important to a business when it has enough patents to create a stranglehold in their sector.

  9. Litecoins on Bitcoin Exchange Value Halves After Chinese Ban · · Score: 1

    I guess this why Litecoins halved from $30 to $15 each too.

  10. Re:Need more information on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Stop a Debt Collection Scam From Targeting You? · · Score: 2

    I try to get them to hang up on me. I tell them i'm more than happy to speak to them.. once I have the address to send the invoice. I'll talk as long as they want but I charge £200 per hour.

  11. Re:Good Luck With That on Brazil Announces Secure Email To Counter US Spying · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If I was the NSA I'd get anti-virus vendors to add backdoors. Its software that routinely accesses all your files at odd hours of the night.

  12. Re:Overall right but unlikely to happen on Battlefield Director: Linux Only Needs One 'Killer' Game To Explode · · Score: 1

    They should include flash storage on their new controller containing a Live SteamOS distro.

  13. Re:Not gonna happen on Valve Announces Steambox, Sort Of · · Score: 2

    No, if you buy a game on Steam you get it for Linux, Windows & Mac (if its available on those platforms).

  14. Re:"Modern desktops" LOL on Majority of Enterprise Customers Finally 'Migrating Away From Windows XP' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I bet "modern desktops" includes Linux & OSX but MS wont talk about that.

  15. Re:To be honest on Can the iPhone Popularize Fingerprint Readers? · · Score: 1

    Also being unconscious, arrested or having your finger cut off will give full access to anyone who needs it.

  16. Re:doesn't add up on Researchers Release Tool That Can Scan the Entire Internet In Under an Hour · · Score: 2

    I'd assume they meant 16.7% of UPnP devices but even then the number seems low.

  17. Re:2 points on Other Agencies Clamor For Data NSA Compiles · · Score: 2

    The copyright industry just weren't offering to pay enough for the data.

  18. Re:Expert Advice on Chinese Firm Huawei In Control of UK Net Filters · · Score: 2

    I have a problem with this. The wall over here (Hadrian's Wall) is a pathetic and useless thing, more like a fence and while it fits with the effectiveness of this system its still rubbish so I propose we call it the Great Firewall of Cameron.

  19. Re:Fees and "news" on After LinkedIn Clues, FOIA Nets New Details On NSA's ANCHORY Program · · Score: 1

    It shouldn't be that hard or expensive, they already have lots of computers to search for data.

  20. Re:Sure that's the reason on Apple and Amazon End Lawsuit Over the Term 'App Store' · · Score: 1

    Without admitting they were wrong (as usual).

  21. Re:Weekly/Monthly Salary on Employers Switching From Payroll Checks To Prepaid Cards With Fees · · Score: 1

    Do the companies who issue these cards also have staff shops eager to accept them?

  22. Re:I don't get it. on Tennessee Official: Water Complaints Could be "Act of Terrorism" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They dont want you dead, just obedient, subservient, docile and blindly supporting them. How can you make them richer & more powerful if you're dead?

  23. Re:I Guess I'll be the first to say... on Dell's Haswell-Powered Alienware X51 R2 SFF, a PC Gamer's Console Alternative · · Score: 2

    no, even discounted PC games are almost always cheaper. They dont have the MS/Sony rent included.

  24. Re:Says a lot! on Dell's Haswell-Powered Alienware X51 R2 SFF, a PC Gamer's Console Alternative · · Score: 1

    Its a SteamBox

  25. Re:I Guess I'll be the first to say... on Dell's Haswell-Powered Alienware X51 R2 SFF, a PC Gamer's Console Alternative · · Score: 1

    Dont forget that console games are usually more expensive (and theres the MS/Sony rent you pay on a console).. you'll soon save money with a PC.
