  1. Re:History? Really? on British Court Rejects Donald Trump's Attempt To Block Wind Farm (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I propose that 90% of the US population that currently holds public office be banned from holding public office.

  2. Re:What do you expect from an ex-Disney lawyer? on Judge Wipes Out Safe Harbor Provision In DMCA, Makes Cox Accomplice of Piracy (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    They're not "required" to recuse themselves. And most judges consider themselves above bias, all evidence to the contrary, so they don't recuse themselves. See Antonin Scalia for a prime example.

  3. Re:Then I start becoming suspcious it was shot dow on New Telemetry Suggests Shot-Down Drone Was Higher Than Alleged · · Score: 1

    ^^ This ^^ The longest range I have ever killed a bird with a 12 gauge was about 40 meters, and that was using Winchester Blind Side 3-1 3/8-BB steel hex shot. That's a very hot round.

  4. Can't Shoot Them Down? on California Legislation May Allow First Responders To Take Out Drones · · Score: 1

    I live in a rural area more than half a mile from a small road. Try suing me for shooting down your toy helicopter if you fly it over my property under legal altitude in this county. Snooping isn't a right.

  5. About 11 to 12 years ago, I encountered an HP3000 MPE/ix machine dated 1981 or thereabout. It was still running the entire back end for a fairly large charity org based out of Colorado Springs, CO.

  6. Librarian? on Cell Phone Unlocking Is Legal -- For Now · · Score: 1

    Why does Congress have a librarian? Congress doesn't actually do anything. And that librarian only seems to do stupid things.

  7. Re:I gotta ask on Qualcomm Takes Down 100+ GitHub Repositories With DMCA Notice · · Score: 1

    I thought of that. So I made a sign that says, "Ambulance stops here." I have another one that says, "Free donuts for the Fifth Circuit."

  8. Re:I gotta ask on Qualcomm Takes Down 100+ GitHub Repositories With DMCA Notice · · Score: 1

    If I could coax them into coming about 150 miles west of Tyler and setting foot on my property, it would be.

  9. They're Not All Like That on Target's Internal Security Team Warned Management · · Score: 1

    I work at a Fortune 500 company, and we are required to do verified static analysis every six months on all of our source code (with 30 to 60 days to fix anything considered a serious risk -- XSS, SQL injection, etc. -- which we avoid anyway), and manual pen testing bi-annually. We also have to adhere to PCI standards (via regular Qualys scans). It's a hassle, but it protects our data and our clients, so I'm cool with it.

  10. Re:Sucks to be you, Elton on Elton John Says Internet is Destroying Music · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "What he's saying is that the music industry is in a creative crisis"

    Oh please. Music sucked just as much in the early 70s as it does now. It's just that people selectively forget all of the utter shite, and then pine for the "good old days."

    I've got news for ya. There never were any "good old days."

    And people, PLEASE stop exaggerating Elton John's influence on music. I don't recall any band that ever claimed him as an influence. Of course, I think his music is crap, so I don't imagine that I would listen to a band that sounded even remotely like him...

  11. Re:Someone who gets it on President Bush Blocks NSA Wireless Tapping Probe · · Score: 1

    To paraphrase "The President," only criminals need privacy.

    So why does he keep demanding all this privacy?
