  1. No currency on US Government To Study Bitcoin As Possible Terrorist Threat · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Face it there will be no currency the Rothchilds don't control.

  2. Its called a dog on Ask Slashdot: State of the Art In DIY Security Systems? · · Score: 1

    I've owned big dogs my entire life, I have never had even an attempted break in despite living in some really rough neighborhoods. Any "security" system will just let you know some hoodie wearing punk broke in and stole your stuff. A good dog makes that never even happen.

  3. Re: Just imagine on No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service — and No Google Glass, Either · · Score: 1

    I think you have hit the nail on the head about the kind of people that wear them.

  4. Bostonian here on Boston Cops Outraged Over Plans to Watch Their Movements Using GPS · · Score: 4, Informative

    As a Bostonian this makes me happy. Maybe the cops sleeping in their cars will now have to work for a living. Having worked downtown for years I know exactly where and when to go to find a cop hiding and asleep in his car.

  5. Same Supreme Court that took 850k bribe on Supreme Court Refuses To Hear EPIC Challenge To NSA Surveillance · · Score: 1

    The same Supreme Court that had one of their members accept an 850,000 dollar bribe to decide Citizens United? The system has completely broken down, there are no checks and balances anymore.

  6. Dependance on electronics is always a fail on $20 'Toy' Deactivates Cheap Home Alarms, Opens Doors · · Score: 1

    20+ years of owning big dogs. I've lived in several "rough" neighborhoods and I have never had anyone try to break in. A German Shepard's bark is far more effective than any form of electronic protection.

  7. How often does law enforcement do this? on Cybercriminals Has Heroin Delivered To Brian Krebs, Then Calls Police · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You have to wonder how often law enforcement does this to justify SWAT raids.

  8. Accidents? on Hackers Reveal Nasty New Car Attacks · · Score: 1

    Really hard to believe these remote features were not known by someone. I wonder how many accidents weren't?

  9. Furniture movers given H1-B visas on Study Questions H-1B Policies · · Score: 5, Insightful

    200 "furniture movers" were given H1-b visa's in 2001. Are there really not enough furniture movers in NYC that a company had to import 200 of them? Google "Urban Moving Systems".

  10. COBOL Lives! on Join COBOL's Next Generation · · Score: 1, Informative

    I took COBOL in the 80's, my instructor was one of the guys that MADE COBOL. He said even back then, COBOL will not be going anywhere for decades. Man did he call it.

  11. Nothing different across the pond. on BT Chief To Become British Government Minister · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Nice to see the UK government is just as corrupt and for sale as the US one.

  12. Apple does this routinely on Some Windows XP Users Can't Afford To Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Background. Wife works as a distribution manager for a small indie publisher. Her job is mostly converting e-books to different formats and uploading them to the online sellers databases. To upload e-books to the Itunes store she has to use a program called IProducer. One day, Iproducer just stopped working when trying to upload to ITunes. Turns out Apple had started blocking access for any copy of IProducer that was too "old". Fine, it is a business need, upgrade IProducer, ooopsss. New version of IProducer won't install on the current OS version. Fine, business need, pay for new OS, then pay for new IProducer, then can sell on ITunes. Pretty neat setup when you think about it. There was nothing wrong with the old version of the Iproducer program, they just shut if off to force people to buy the new OS.

  13. Re:False flag on Yokohama Accidentally Tweets That NK Missile Is Inbound · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Instantly moderated down two points, looks like I'm right.

  14. False flag on Yokohama Accidentally Tweets That NK Missile Is Inbound · · Score: -1, Troll

    Looks like someone got an early start on the North Korea false flag attack. Right up there with the BBC announcing the collapse of WTC 7 20 minutes before it happened.

  15. Usual practice in other industries on Ask Slashdot: On the Job Certification Training? · · Score: 1

    Semi - conductor worker here. My employers have always paid for training up front. I wouldn't work at a job that expected me to pay for training the employer requires. I am provided the study materials, I am paid for my study time and for the time spent actually in a classroom. Sounds like the IT field is getting the short end of the stick.

  16. Writer fail on The World's First Supercavitating Boat? · · Score: 1

    The writer of the article claims that the super cavitating boat would be invisible to sonar, sorry that is completely wrong. Cavitation is one of the easiest things for sonar to pick up.

  17. Furniture movers on 2013 H-1B Visa Supply Nearly Exhausted · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many of those visa's are for "furniture movers" like in 2001 and Urban Moving Systems. The US gave 200 visas to Urban Moving Systems.

  18. Country X??? on Would-Be Akamai Spy Busted By Feds · · Score: 1

    If the newspapers won't name the country then it is Israel.

  19. Re:"insecure electronic voting" on Researchers Reprogram Voting Machine To Run Pac-man · · Score: 1

    Well considering a computer programmer already testified before congress that he was asked to write a program that would steal votes from a Republican party member, and when he said he wouldn't the party member said "we will just find someone else", yes there is plenty of reason to be scared. Voter fraud isn't a "possibility" it is ongoing. The GSA already said it could not certify the 2000 election results because of abnormalities with the electronic voting machines.

  20. What about the real mainipulation at Digg? on Buried By The Brigade At Digg · · Score: 1

    When this story first broke I thought someone had uncovered the real manipulation at Digg. It is no secret that the founder of Digg went to the Bohemian Grove meeting two years back. Certain stories make the front page regardless of how few Diggs they have, I have seen a story with 13 Diggs on the front page. Also some stories will have the bury button simply not work at all. And finally Digg will refuse a story if the web address is from a web site that tells the truth about the government.

  21. Urban Moving Systems on Microsoft & Intel Get a Pass On Higher H-1B Fees · · Score: 1

    Meanwhile 200 "furniture movers" got H-1B's for Urban moving systems. I was not aware that there are too few furniture movers in the US for this position to qualify.

  22. A large dog on Where To Start With DIY Home Security? · · Score: 1

    Since all theft deterrent systems can be easily beaten the only one that makes sense is playing on peoples fear. A well trained large dog will make a would be thief look for an easier target. If the person is intent on entering your place of residence NOTHING will stop them, not even the dog, but most thieves are in for the quick easy buck, and a German Shepard or an Akita will quickly make them decide your stuff is not worth it.

  23. No Surprise at all on Denials Aside, Feds Storing Body Scan Images · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Since the original request for the system included "the ability to store and transmit" said images, this is no surprise. Any computer that has the "Print Screen" button on the keyboard can copy an image. Since the TSA scanned a 12 year old girl, why aren't child pornography charges being brought up on them?

  24. Hiding secrets on The End of Forgetting · · Score: 1

    This is about giving the elites a way to hide embarrassing items from their personal history.

  25. What you want to hear on Given Truth, the Misinformed Believe Lies More · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People tend to want to hear information that agrees with their particular world view. This is why even though all main stream media has a slant to a story there are different "flavors". AP actually puts out 7 different versions of every story depending on which propaganda machine is quoting them. Today's media presents very few facts but presents lots of opinions. Every "expert" speaker is just a person presenting his opinion. While it is easy to bash Faux news you can just as easily catch the same thing going on at NPR, BBC, CNN, etc if you are observant. All of them have money behind them determining how a story is presented, or if it is even presented at all. If your smart enough to read slashdot you should be smart enough to research things for yourself.
