  1. Re:1-Year Anniversay of Russian Invasion of Georgi on Twitter, Facebook DDoS Attack Targeted One User · · Score: 2, Informative

    The reason there are so many Russian citizens in South Ossetia is because when the region became semi-autonomous prior to the conflict, Russia granted the South Ossetians Russian citizenship.

  2. Re:O.o on String Theory Predicts Behavior of Superfluids · · Score: 1

    IIRC, that was a ribbon, not a string.

  3. Re:Klingon's use Windows on Sophos Releases Klingon Language Version · · Score: 1

    Sophos has a MAC OSX version of their software or did I just whoosh myself?

  4. Hmmm.... on Sophos Releases Klingon Language Version · · Score: 1

    I must have missed that memo in the latest newsletter they send me every other day.

  5. Re:Oblig BTTF quote... on NASA Running Low On Fuel For Space Exploration · · Score: 1

    Apparently in 2009 as well, time for NASA to get the DeLorean out of the garage and go back to 1985 Qwik-E-Mart and pick some up.

  6. Re:Top 12 through 3 viruses? on Looking Back At the Other Kind of Virus · · Score: 1

    Obviously some sinister rootkits that erased themselves from the article to maintain their secrecy!

  7. Re:Maybe i'm just cynical... on Senator Arlen Specter Becomes a Democrat · · Score: 1

    Yes, 200K voters changed their mind last year over what party they were aligned with. To what or why, I don't really care. If all 200k wants to register as communist instead of republican it makes absolutely no difference to me.

    What is interesting to me is that Specter decided he needed to change from an R to a D. If he and his constituents share each others views, what does a party matter?

  8. Maybe i'm just cynical... on Senator Arlen Specter Becomes a Democrat · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Specter noted that in his home state of Pennsylvania, 200,000 formerly Republican voters switched party allegiance last year.

    So you switched your allegiance cuz it would give u better chance to keep getting elected, Mr. Specter, regardless of your actual political beliefs? (Not that I think either party is that different from the other)

  9. Home Office on Phorm "Edited and Approved" UK Government Advice · · Score: 0, Redundant

    no one EVER does

  11. My favorite line... on Pirate Bay Trial Ends In Jail Sentences · · Score: 1

    "The Pirate Bay did immense harm and the damages awarded doesn't even get close to compensation, but we never claimed it did.

    Yep, the world has been saved now! No more wars, natural disasters or alien invasions! Fortunately our saviors in the industry are willing to take this paltry sum as appeasement of a debt that can never be repaid.

  12. Re:This is Canada on Bell Proposing Usage-Based Billing · · Score: 1

    When did Canada become the 51st state?

  13. Re:This has GOT to be an April Fools story on Warner Bros. Acquires The Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    ooooooh! Finally a place to build my castle!

    Here comes another "Are viruses alive or not" debate....

  16. Re:Again, WTF? on Living Free With Linux, Round 2 · · Score: 0

  19. Re:Trivial for a worm to change the flag? on Conficker Worm Could Create World's Biggest Botnet · · Score: 1

    From the blocked exe files and inability to access AV sites it sounds like the Kassbot worm.

  23. Re:Any link to the test? on US Officials Flunk Test On Civic Knowledge · · Score: 1

    You answered 31 out of 33 correctly - 93.94 %

  24. Warfare without Clippy? on Worm Attack Prompts DoD To Ban Use of External Media · · Score: 5, Funny

    It looks like you're trying to blow up that building. Would you like to use:

    1)Grenade
    2)An RPG
    3)Airstrike

  25. Re:Two words on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 1

    You make an interesting point about people in other countries. I think what a lot of people forget here in America, and in Europe, and everywhere else...is that what is in America's best interests is not necessarily in the best interests of Europe, or Asia, etc. and vice versa.

    I think everyone naturally tends to look at one's own country's needs before anyone else's.
