  1. Re:Should be classified as fraud on Wi-Fi Allergy a PR Stunt · · Score: 1

    Because fraud has a very different definition from "lying" in the legal system.

  2. Re:What we need is publicly funded journals on Should Copyright of Academic Works Be Abolished? · · Score: 1

    Nothing wrong with this, as long as you enjoy having academic research controlled by the government.

  3. Re:Is it just me? on Microsoft Readies a Rival To Spotify · · Score: 1

    The strategy worked pretty well for xbox.

  4. Re:Spy vs Spy on Microsoft vs. Google — Mutually Assured Destruction · · Score: 1

    sounds like Joker's analysis in The Dark Knight to me...

  5. Re:No, it belongs to the U.S. people on Goldman Sachs Trading Source Code In the Wild? · · Score: 1

    They were forced to take the money by the Fed and they tried to repay it within days because they didn't want the ex post facto strings attached.

  6. Re:World of Warcraft on News Sites Slammed By Michael Jackson Traffic · · Score: 1

    He sold out 50 concerts for his upcoming comeback tour. 50 straight concerts in London. In a stadium that's easily 200k in size. That's over a million people willing to apay to see Michael Jackson. I'd say he was still a popular performer.

  7. Re:Bollocks. SI dates to Napoleon Bonaparte. on NASA Sticking To Imperial Units For Shuttle Replacement · · Score: 1

    There are plenty of technical economic reasons to keep using the pound. There is actually economic freedom to be gotten from not using the euro. They might not be good reasons (although I think they are), but they are there. It's not just sentimentality.

  8. Re:Slashdot covers own ass (allegedly). on Alleged Plagiarism In Chris Anderson's New Book · · Score: 1

    Couldn't we just call it a spade?

  9. Re:Let Their Big Friend in the Sky Help Them on Siemens, Nokia Helped Provide Iran's Censoring Tech · · Score: 1

    I wasn't aware Edison stole the soul-saving machine from Tesla as well.

  10. Re:Why an ANYTHING Czar? on Schneier Says We Don't Need a Cybersecurity Czar · · Score: 2, Informative

    ... and Czars were also authoritarian monarchs in Russia, Serbia, and Bulgaria. Or was that too obvious?

  11. Re:Not as it seems on Google Wins Agreement To Anonymize YouTube Logs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That, or everyone breaking the law and not paying for their product. That will do it too.

    /just sayin

  12. Re:Be Ashamed, Be Very Ashamed on Non-Programming Jobs For a Computer Science Major? · · Score: 1

    Or else he's more interested in the theory of computer science than the actual practice.

  13. Re:None of them on Best Super Tuesday Candidate for Technology? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Paul has no chance because the majority of Americans disagree with him on major substantive issues like his foreign and monetary policies.

  14. Re:Consistency on Congress Sets Sights on Videogames · · Score: 1

    It's not the government that makes the ratings for movies - it's the MPAA.

  15. Re:Cannot legislate morals... on AllofMP3.com May Hinder Russia Joining WTO · · Score: 1

    You can't legislate morals? Every law on the books is a legislation of morality. Illegalizing Murder? that's legislation of morality. Illegalizing theft? that's a legislation of morality.

    The incentive to steal will already exist. What the law does is make it unprofitable (ie: risky) to steal.

    /not saying that allofmp3 is theft, just saying that you're an idiot.

  16. from the district itself: on IL School District to Monitor Student Blogs · · Score: 2, Interesting

When you register for a MySpace account and fill out the profile, you can leave nearly all the fields blank and even use a bogus email address. Never include your real name anywhere on the site and leave out addresses, towns, school name, sports teams, cell phone numbers and any other contact information about you or your friends. And most importantly, make sure that your friends who may link to your site do the same.
