  1. Being On Probation While Being On Probation..... on Identity Thief Apprehended By Victim · · Score: 1

    She was already on probation when she committed another crime, and now she is going to get probation fro that crime, while already ON probation?

    Is that like being on "Double Secret Probation" or something?

    Its slimy habitual criminals like this that *REALLY* make the case for corporal punishment. Nothing says "DON'T F*CK UP AGAIN!" like a few lashings.

  2. Lemme See..... on Doctor Urges AMA To Classify Gaming Addiction · · Score: 1

    So if you are "Horny" and enjoy having sex, you are now a "Sex Addict"?

    This doctor, and modern medicine have nailed it right down:

    "I can't help that I'm addicted to (insert activity here); It's not my fault that I like it sooo much!"

    This phony-baloney crap has GOT to STOP. The "doctors" who think this crap up should be publicly disgraced.

    Here is MY diagnosis: "He's too f*cking lazy to do anything other than game all day, too f*cking stupid to get his priorities in order, AND IT'S ALL HIS OWN F*CKING FAULT! PERIOD!"

    Of course, that would land me right in front of an Ethical Review Board, but it's true.

  3. SHHHHH..... on Mass of Dwarf Planet Eris 27% Greater than Pluto · · Score: 1

    Don't tell the Scientologists: Xenu lives on Eris.

    Pass it on.

  4. Politicos..... on Net Neutrality Comment Period Ends Friday · · Score: 1

    Does it even matter to politicians what people say? I mean, come on. Comment Period? Do you actually think that the people who make the decisions actually give a damn what you think?

    People should know this already: It doesn't matter how correct you are; It's how deep your pockets are.

  5. Hmmmmm..... on How Long Could You Live Without Your Gadgets? · · Score: 1

    Considering that humans managed to live and evolve without gadgets, I'd say I would live out my normal, expected lifetime.

    Hey!

    I hold the patent for the Tinfoil Hat.

    YOU OWE ME ROYALTIES!

    Welcome to the United States..... "Land Of The Free".

    Just keep in mind, there is an illegal version of everything here.

    Taxed = Legal
    Untaxed = Illegal

    This goes for EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN, not just fuel.

  10. Don't Blame Me, I Voted For Kodos..... on NC Man Fined For Using Vegetable Oil As Fuel · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I, for one, welcome our idiotic tax-happy overlords!

    I'd like to remind them that as a trusted SlashDot personality, I can be quite helpful in rounding up tax evaders to toil in their underground slush funds.

  11. Wow..... on Is Videotaping the Police a Felony? · · Score: 1

    So now I'm a felon for listening to two neighbors yell at each other? Wow.

    If he broke a wiretapping law, what wires was he tapping? Also, by entering a public place, then you are willfully giving your consent to being videotaped. Police officers are no exception.

    I just think that these cops are trying to squirm out of the jam of having a display of their unprofessional attitude caught on tape by arresting the driver as intimidation for documenting their public indiscretions.

    Seriously, if you want to cover up bad actions, try a less obvious way than by arresting the person who videotaped your PUBLIC outburst.

  12. Hmmmmm..... on Digital Camera Memory Card With Wi-Fi · · Score: 1, Insightful

    A WiFi-enabled memory storage device?

    Jeezus..... Just *how* much easier are we going to make it for hackers to gain access to private data?

    If you are so lazy that plugging in a USB cable is just, oh, too much to ask of you, then you pretty much deserve to have your data stolen.

    Now we have WiFi memory cards for people who don't want the hassle of plugging in a USB cable. What's next? Doors that don't have keys for people who can't spare enough time to use keys?

    Useless. I can understand cameras that are WiFi enabled, but making the memory cards WiFi is just asking for a problem, since the cards are also used for storing other data (documents/files, mp3s, etc.).

  13. Press.....Press.....Pull..... on Blogger Removed From NCAA Game for Blogging · · Score: 1

    Why would you even need to get a press pass to blog? Can't you simply blog from the stands, and bypass the stupid "press credential/contract" crap?

    All you would need is a decent PDA and you could post results, scores, updates, etc. from the stands. You are not videotaping or photographing anything, just typing out what you see with your eyes into text and posting it that way.

  14. Re:Safari for Win Needs Middle-Mouse Button Suppor on Safari on Windows, Leopard Debut at WWDC · · Score: 1

    It's a "security feature".

  15. Questionably Legal..... on RIAA Uses Local Cops In Oregon Raid · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yes, they can dress up as cops and go out into public, but if they impersonate law enforcement officers, they can be arrested and punished just as much as a bootlegger. BOTH are FELONIES.

    So, by dressing up in raid uniforms, and behaving like police officers, they are impersonating law enforcement officers, which is unlawful, and in my words, just plain eerie.

    What's next? RIAA Humvees or surplus troop carriers?

  16. Letter to Jim Kraber..... on CNBC Software Flaw Worth $1 Million? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Re: Software Glitch

    Dear Mr. Kraber,

              I regret to inform you that, after a thorough investigation of the alleged trading irregularities by independent Microsoft software engineers, we have determined that the perceived trading irregularities were not the result of a software 'glitch' or 'bug', but were in fact security features.

    We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

  17. Re:Question: Why is the quality so poor? on Probe Shows Jupiter Moon 'Puking' Into Space · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe it's because Jupiter is 365 MILLION miles from Earth.

    The limiting factor of the space probes that took the photos would be CURRENT TECHNOLOGY.

  18. New Astronomical Term..... on Probe Shows Jupiter Moon 'Puking' Into Space · · Score: 1

    "Pissing Into The Wind" -: A body the ejects material into space, only to have the same ejected material return to the same body that ejected it.

    I think that the description of this article is a lowpoint for SlashDot submissions.

  19. Old..... on Wildlife Returning To Chernobyl · · Score: 1, Informative

    OK, who is the idiot who thinks that this is news?!

    Wildlife has been observed for a LONG TIME in and around Chernobyl, Pripyat, and immediate areas. This is by NO means new. Not only has it been observed, but is WIDELY documented and has been almost since the disaster.

    In the spirit of this article, I would like to announce a discovery:

    If you don't refrigerate seafood, it goes bad.

  20. Simply Stunning..... on Company Aims To Patent Security Patches · · Score: 1

    Wow.... I just read their website and it is stunningly similar to the "Get-Rich-Quick" schemes and scams that you see posted up in every college hallway and classroom.

    Read the "How It Works" part. If that doesn't sound really shady and iffy, then I have a bridge to sell you!

    So let me see, they want to copyright/patent security holes that they find and other people find. How can you patent/copyright aspects of someone else's programming or code?

    I mean, it's like somebody finding an unlocked door to my house, and then claiming ownership of it because they found that it was unlocked, and charging anyone who tries to lock it with patent infringement if they lock it without paying these lunatics "royalties"

  22. JEEEZUS..... on MIT Wirelessly Powers a Lightbulb · · Score: 1

    "Give a scientist lots of money, and he will rediscover what has already been discoverd, in greater complexity and greater cost than ever before."

    I ALREADY wirelessly power my toothbrush. Let me guess, the lightbulb has to be plugged into an adapter firt, right?

    And there have been numerous cases of people getting in serious trouble who were powering their houses by mooching off of the electromagnetic fields that surround high voltage transmission lines.

    Also, I remember lighting fluorescent tubes up by standing underneath transmission lines. We also had an artist who made a really cool art "sculpture" thing by sticking one end of the tubes into the ground.

    I also remember wirelessly lighting clear glass tubes filled with neon and argon in 7th grade. No "adapter" required.

    Idiots.

  23. Disheartening..... on MLB Says Slingbox Illegal, CEA Thinks Otherwise · · Score: 1

    It's sad how our national sport is controlled by a bunch of corporate execs who, truly, are idiots in their own right. The whole concept of "blacking out" certain areas from viewing certain games is a disgraceful way of profiting as much as possible from a national pastime, by keeping certain people from watching games that they want to watch, other than what MLB decides what they should watch.

  24. Security Threat..... on Massive Cave Found on Mars · · Score: 1

    I think that this is a flagrant act of defiance by Marvin Martian, the warlord leader of the Dark Side Axis Of Terror, in refusing to abandon his plans of destroying the Earth.

    This "hole" is either a giant bunker that he is going to hide his suspected WMD in, or it could be a protective facility where he is building a giant space ray gun so he can destroy the Earth, in defiance of intergalactic law.

    I propose that Congress give $374 billion to the Duck Dodgers of the 24th 1/2 Century so they can eliminate Mr. Martian and the Dark Side from this galaxy.
