  1. It's in the wording of the Bill on Internet Kill Switch Back On the US Legislative Agenda · · Score: 1

    Everyone knows how they misconceived Bills in the past. They left enough loopholes in Bills, and back doors. Any branch of Government could read the Bill as they saw fit.

  2. meanwhile... on UK ID Card Scheme Data Deleted For £400K · · Score: 1

    Chances are because they held onto it, someone has already sold that data to the highest bidder. Thieves love that stuff.

    Or someone will screw up and throw it it a garbage can. meanwhile... Thieves will get it.

    Or! They already have a copy of all of those IDS stashed, and a few years from now, they find the copies, and someone will be asking this same question all over again. It will cost them $1,000,000.00 extra to get rid of it. Meanwhile... Thieves will still get it.

    They are so screwed. /s

  3. Re:Rather symbolic isn't it? on PayPal Withdraws WikiLeaks Donation Service · · Score: 1

    This does extend to all press. Or haven't you noticed how all the news media tend to report on the same stupid stuff on the same day? plus lack of certain news not making it to prime time, or not in big print front page major news papers.

  4. noting... on WikiLeaks Took Advice From Media Outlets · · Score: 1

    Wikileaks is suppose to have some hidden documents ready to use in case someone comes after them. The cables were nothing to brag about IMO so far "big deal".
    So are they hiding something that is so dramatic that even the Pope would have reason to shiver? Or is it also "much ado about nothing"? Quite frankly I am not impressed.

  5. OK on US May Disable All Car Phones, Says Trans. Secretary · · Score: 1

    lets see them block cell phones in prisons first before they attack law abiding citizens.

  6. Re:Monsanto seeds in there? on How the Global Seed Vault Aims To Fight Future Famine · · Score: 1

    hybrid seeds are not permitted. Or so that is what i thought. The idea was in case something happen. Too bad they can't do the same for the trout that Monsanto is forcing down our throats.

    Oh and guess what! Not sure what truth their is to it but i heard that Bill Gates and Monsanto helped to fund this. Bill Gates is fine, but why would Monsanto fund something like this? It was my understanding that Monsanto is one of the reasons for why this vault was created. If they screw up mother nature then we must have a way to fix it. Were they forced to fund this? Because if they were it is just like they were forced to protect the very mother nature that they have messed with. Or! One could say that Monsanto knew they would eventually screw things up, and they better protect it. I can hear them now...

  7. Re:Monsanto will most likely get this reversed on US Says Genes Should Not Be Patentable · · Score: 1

    I have not seen one of Monsanto's publicity campaigns that did not claim their Genes were patented. Everyone of them claim they are. Not only that when they take these farmers to court they also take their gene evidence with them as claiming ownership of the gene. So does this mean that Monsanto will not be able to sue farmers ever again?

    Out of all of this. I truly hope that if they can no longer patent the genes, many good scientist will come forward with a means of fighting Monsanto. Monsanto has never been tested as safe.

  8. The five-year old on New York Judge Rules 6-Year-Old Can Be Sued · · Score: 1

    The five-year old lives in the here and now, and doesn't comprehend the idea of long-term consequences. He has difficulty seeing a point of view that is different from his own and this can make him seem stubborn and argumentative. But, he is generally cooperative and helpful, wanting to please his parents and be good. He may come home from kindergarten talking about a child who is bad. This is a good time to help him recognize what happens when someone behaves badly and to praise him for his good behavior.

    Because of five's here and now mindset, consequences for misbehavior and non-compliance should be immediate and brief. Don't expect that he'll learn his lesson the first, or even the tenth, time he receives a consequence. He hasn't yet learned self-control; and so, discipline this year involves baby steps, not giant leaps. Don't give up and don't get frustrated; just keep on giving consequences for misbehavior consistently with the attitude that he has the desire to be good, but is still learning. Distinguishes right from wrong, honest from dishonest, but does not recognize intent.

  9. um... scratches head... on New York Judge Rules 6-Year-Old Can Be Sued · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that because they are suing the six year old, they also will base the suit on her ability to pay? Or the parents pay? They must be rich, or else who in their right mind would do this.

  10. OMG! on New York Judge Rules 6-Year-Old Can Be Sued · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The USA really has gone to the sewer!

  11. Gee I hope... on NASA Head Ignores Congress, Eyes Cooperation With China · · Score: 1

    China keeps the International Space Station clean and safer than the goods they ship to the USA, and the lands that they live on.

  12. Re:Software cost = programmer's salary on NSF Wants To Know How Much Software Really Costs · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the drinks, snacks, lunch, and the need for music or TV noise to drown out the silence.

    Will it last? Or will North Korea shut it down in a few months? Time will tell...

  14. He is a @ss on Canadian Spammer Fined Over $1 Billion · · Score: 1

    He has the attitude of "I don't care." He is a total douche bag, and jerk all rolled into one. I will not post his website here cause /. is a respected place, and I don't want to boast this guys attitude any higher than it is with his website linked to /. But you guys really need to check out his website. Just type in his full name, and his website is third from the top, or could be second from the top by now What he boast about is just mind boggling. He loves his PR rank now, and rambles about all of his publicity, and how many support him. Plus he calls everyone that hates him intellectual midgets. Let me slap him around a few times, then punch him a few times. While I do that, for a long time.... Someone can put a lien on everything he owns, and sell it off. For the final Finnish... I will go with a swift kick to the you know where. I just don't think his fans know the true story of what he did. Or something is missing. BTW he has a channel at youtube too.

  15. Just you watch on US Copyright Group — Lawsuits, DDoS, and Bomb Threats · · Score: 1

    All of those complaining, and making threats will be dragged into court as well for file sharing. Give them a reason to suspect you are a file sharer, and the US Copyright Group will go after you.

  18. just a note on Family To Receive $1.5M+ In Vaccine-Autism Award · · Score: 1

    Many parents who believe there is a connection between the Vaccines and Autism claim there is way far less autism in children that don't get all of these shots at one time. My daughters pediatrician will not give them to his patient's all at once. They are given one at a time. Yes this means more trips to the doctors office. It would be interesting to note how many here on /. have a family member that is autistic? In my family we have one. This disease is everywhere and has affected many family's. I had visited a few years back many forums on this subject. I could not find any families at the time, that their child did not get the vaccine cocktail.

  19. um... huh? on GameStop Pulls Medal of Honor From Military Bases · · Score: 1

    Respect for who? Might as well ban all games on bases. In all war games you have a enemy. In all war games payback can be hell, and fun. So just who are you respecting?

    someone would post a list online of the GM products. In the USA they can't say which products are GM. But places in Europe they can. So it is listed on European food packages by law.

  24. well... on Blizzard To Require Real First and Last Names For Official Forums · · Score: 1

    It's just like em to get the public hooked on their games, and then pull a "realID" on them. Those are popular games so.... The question is... "Will the gamers see through the cracks?" Or will they sit idle, like the facebook users did, and ignore what the consequences were to their ID being totally public?

  25. Sheesh on Blizzard To Require Real First and Last Names For Official Forums · · Score: 1

    It's just a game! If you want real, then look to the online businesses that supply credit, or banking services. They don't get my real name unless they come under certain type businesses, all the rest get a "blow me!" attitude from me, and a fake name, and nickname.
