  1. Re:"But they said" on Free DARPA Software Lets Gamers Hunt Submarines · · Score: 1

    Do you really believe that the government doesn't control many aspects of the media? Ever notice how there's always some high-profile celeb story constantly on the news whenever there is something going on that the government doesn't want anyone paying attention to?

  2. Re:Last Star Fighter? on Free DARPA Software Lets Gamers Hunt Submarines · · Score: 1

    Greetings, Starfighter. You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan armada.

  3. Re:High version numbers on Firefox 5 Scheduled For June 21 Release · · Score: 1

    Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7...

  4. Re:plain-text OS? on France Outlaws Hashed Passwords · · Score: 0

    This is France we're talking about, they'll just surrender.

  5. Re:"Bulletproof glass" mistake? on MythBuster Developing Light-Weight Vehicle Armor · · Score: 1

    Checkout the video I posted above, same stuff only much thicker (Mythbusters use closer to 1/8" Lexan)..

  6. Re:"Bulletproof glass" mistake? on MythBuster Developing Light-Weight Vehicle Armor · · Score: 1

    The only true "bullet proof" glass is actually several composite layers layers bonded together.

  7. Re:To all "They're not REAL scientists!" posters on MythBuster Developing Light-Weight Vehicle Armor · · Score: 0, Troll

    Except most of the time their results are wrong. I have seen them perform so many flawed experiments that I no longer watch that show.

  8. Re:"Lost" on 10,000 Shipping Containers Lost At Sea Each Year · · Score: 1

    Good luck with that, there are tamper seals placed on those containers by customs at the port of origin.

  9. Re:"Lost" on 10,000 Shipping Containers Lost At Sea Each Year · · Score: 1

    I've unreped conex containers many times. Container ships also happen to have cranes, follow this link for one example.

  10. Re:"Lost" on 10,000 Shipping Containers Lost At Sea Each Year · · Score: 2

    It's not that hard to offload cargo from on ship to another at sea, it's been done for hundreds of years.

  11. Re:Yes on Ask Slashdot: Would You Take a Pay Cut To Telecommute? · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't take a pay cut, you're saving your employer money on the space that you would normally occupy, if anything you should get a pay raise for helping to maximize profits.

  12. Dupe Accounts on The Facebook Obsession · · Score: 1

    I have a hard time believing that 1 out of 13 people on this planet has a Facebook account, most of the world doesn't even have internet access.

  13. Re:Ship of Theseus on AMD Bulldozer Will Bring Socket Shift To PCs · · Score: 1

    Don't forget about the cost of the PSU.

  14. Re:Invented by Jews. on Convicted Terrorist Relied On Single-Letter Cipher · · Score: 1

    Woosh!

  15. Re:Invented by Jews. on Convicted Terrorist Relied On Single-Letter Cipher · · Score: 3, Funny

    We should rename encryption "bacon", then they'd never use it.

  16. Re:ROT 13 - Rotational 13 on Convicted Terrorist Relied On Single-Letter Cipher · · Score: 1

    You are off your rocker. For one thing the Red Crescent is the Islamic version of the Red Cross.

  17. Kaffirs know about AES so it must be less secure. on Convicted Terrorist Relied On Single-Letter Cipher · · Score: 1

    I wonder if anyone informed him that 256-bit AES has about the same number of possible combinations as there are atoms in the universe? Although he probably would have used a password that you could crack with a dictionary attack. These people truly are stuck in ancient times.

  18. Re:Already Blocked? on Man Creates "Creepy" Stalking App · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I noticed that it was just Twitter having issues right after that.

  19. Already Blocked? on Man Creates "Creepy" Stalking App · · Score: 1

    I think Twitter blocked this app already, was working one minute and not the next.

  20. Re:Not creepy at all on Man Creates "Creepy" Stalking App · · Score: 2

    It just stopped working too, I think Twitter blocked it already.

  21. Re:paranoia ho! on Man Creates "Creepy" Stalking App · · Score: 1

    And it's hardly creepy to see it in action, doesn't appear to be very effective.

  22. Re:Amazing on Spacecraft Sends First Image From Mercury's Orbit · · Score: 1

    You need to grow up kid.

  23. Re:Amazing on Spacecraft Sends First Image From Mercury's Orbit · · Score: 1

    At least it wasn't lemon party.

  24. Re:And? on Nuclear Crisis Stopped Time In Japan · · Score: 0

    That has been easy to do since Windows 2000 was released.

  25. Re:Conflict of interest much? on RIAA Lobbyist Becomes Federal Judge, Rules On File-Sharing Cases · · Score: 2

    This is the consensus from everyone who has a clue.

    "Judge Beryl Howell received 415,000 USD from the RIAA for lobbying work, from 2005 to 2008, during her tenure at Stroz Friedberg LLC. This financing represents a potential conflict of interest for cases which involve copyright law."

    And just how do you think she got nominated? It wasn't by chance.
