  1. subject on Firefox Will Soon Block Third-Party Cookies · · Score: 1

    No, the "first strike" was when you advertising cocksuckers first thought about making money on the internet. Go pass a kidney stone.

  2. Re:Until it doesn't on Official: Playstation 4 Will Play Used Games · · Score: 2

    But "I'm starting to notice a pattern here" DOES follow from "Sony keeps doing bad things every chance it gets."

  3. Re:American Wage Slaves are an Even Better Value on US CEO Says French Workers Have Three-Hour Work Day · · Score: 2

    Sure, you can just quit and walk away whenever you want to

    I don't know why you're debating GP's fallacy (one of many in his post, actually, not least of which that he doesn't understand basic math or the idea of "cost of living")...but you can quit and walk away from any job, anywhere in the US, at any time, regardless of "right to work" laws. Indentured servitude went out some time ago.

  4. Re:Public Patent Challenge on Google Patents Staple of '70s Mainframe Computing · · Score: 1

    I'm a lot more in favor of this scheme: any company found abusing the patent office with shit like this more than x times should have every one of their patents suspended for however many years it takes the backlogged USPTO to review them all thoroughly. In queue behind all pending USPTO operations.

  5. Re:So... Your Comma Splice on Ask Slashdot: Is the Bar Being Lowered At Universities? · · Score: 1

    That's not a comma splice, and you missed the actual error in the small part you quoted.

  6. Re:False positive DNA test? on French Police Unsure Which Twin To Charge In Sexual Assaults · · Score: 1

    In that case, the police should set them both free.

  7. Re:"Good will" on Do Not Track Ineffective and Dangerous, Says Researcher · · Score: 1

    "Anything that leaves your privacy on the 'good will' of the companies is inefficient to protect my privacy.

    If I do want to protect it, I'll use tools like Ghostery [snip]"

    So you're relying on the "good will" of a company that provides marketing data to the DMA? That seems kind of odd given your stated position on privacy.

  8. Participation on New Medal Designed To Honor Cyber Soldiers · · Score: 1

    Everybody wins! Yaaaay!

    your an idiot

    Yes.

  10. Reminder on Missouri Legislation Redefines Science, Pushes Intelligent Design · · Score: 2

    Evolution is not abiogenesis. Abiogenesis is not Evolution. Anyone claiming otherwise is a fraud and a liar.

  11. Re:Whats the internet? on Is It Possible To Erase Yourself From the Internet? · · Score: 1

    Just let it go, man.

  12. I'm no programmer, but... on Mojang Releases Minecraft: Pi Edition For the Raspberry Pi · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Isn't MC written in Java? And isn't Java supposed to be platform-independent?

    Followup question: Shouldn't it then run on any platform that has a JRE installed?

  13. Re:Two factor authentication on Deloitte: Use a Longer Password In 2013. Seriously. · · Score: 1

    That's not just close; it *is* two factor. You have the phone.

    GP was right. The bank's not sending the code to *your phone*, they're sending the code to a phone number they have on their system. A very subtle but important distinction.

  15. Re:Thomas Baekdal wrote about this before xkcd on Deloitte: Use a Longer Password In 2013. Seriously. · · Score: 1

    AOL (believe it or not) wrote about this way before either of them. See any early 90s free trial disk for citation. And DOD predated all of the above, sometime in the mid 80s.

  16. Re:Poor bootleggers will remember mini-disc fondly on Sony To Make Its Last MiniDisc System Next Month · · Score: 0

    You have to be a subscriber to /.+ to get edit functionality.

  17. subject on IronKey Releases Windows 8 Certified Bootable Flash Drive · · Score: 1

    Windows 8 will fit on 32GB storage? Seems like that's the real story here.

  18. Re:Their real error on Dozens Suspended In Harvard University Cheat Scandal · · Score: 1

    we need to wee out the ones who are going to get caught when they cheat.

    That sounds incredibly painful.

  19. Good. on As Music Streaming Grows, Royalties Slow To a Trickle · · Score: 1

    Maybe now more music will be made by people who are passionate about making music, not by people who do it for money.

    I don't think any musician in history has made a living off of streaming (i.e., radio) revenue alone. The money has always been in live shows and merchandise, and possibly album sales for artists who didn't get fucked over by bad contracts.

  20. Re:What he really did deserved jail time. on Prosecution of Swartz Typical for the "Sick Culture" Pervading the DOJ · · Score: 1

    Those aren't charges, those are allegations, as the indictment states. You'll want to start with "Count 1" at paragraph 34. Everything he was charged with relates to accessing JSTOR's computers without authorization, something JSTOR itself did not want to prosecute.

    Where are your references?

    That same PDF and basic reading skills, I guess.

  21. Re:What he really did deserved jail time. on Prosecution of Swartz Typical for the "Sick Culture" Pervading the DOJ · · Score: 1

    Lets get off the "he was innocent" kick. Swartz broke into a server closet, installed his own hardware behind MIT's firewall so he could download files he was told he was not authorized.

    How many of those things was he actually indicted for?

    A six month jail term was reasonable for the crimes committed.

    Which crimes do you think he was charged with?

    I already know the answers to these questions. You apparently do not.

  22. subject on Data Analyst Spoils the World's Biggest Song Vote · · Score: 1

    I've never even heard of any of the top 25, and none of the top 66 are in my Google Music playlists. I guess that makes me old.

  23. subject on Senators Seek H-1B Cap That Can Reach 300,000 · · Score: 1

    Well of course. There is a huge lack of American workers who have 10 years of Windows 8 experience, for instance. I'd use visa workers too.
