  1. Let me be the first to say on Court Denies EPIC's Rehearing Request, Awards Fees · · Score: 1

    EPIC Fail!

  2. Re:Accessory? on Pirate Bay Defendant Aims For Sweden's Supreme Court · · Score: 1

    How can anyone be an accessory to a "crime" for which no one was convicted?

    It is called the Stockholm syndrome and it was invented in Sweden.

  3. Re:HD != CPU on Intel's Sandy Bridge Processor Has a Kill Switch · · Score: 1

    Yes but through the CPU given the proper commands it may be theoretically possible to access the HD over a 3G connection.

  4. Re:We are all suspects, welcome to the police stat on Feds Warrantlessly Tracking Americans' Real Time Credit Card Activity · · Score: 1

    Looks like this guy is a classic victim of COINTELPRO. Anyone who calls this guy paranoid schizophrenic or the like is probably in on the action.

    Also this should be a lesson not to just piss off banks and financial institutions of America but anyone powerful in government for they can and will ruin you.

  5. Re:So pay your bills on Debt Collectors Using Facebook To Embarrass Those Who Owe · · Score: 1

    I use the MagicJack for my phone service and my number is totally unlisted and if I need a new number it costs a nominal fee.

    With this I find it would be hard to be harassed by anyone, bill collectors or otherwise.

  6. Re:The answer is - Never on Will Netflix Destroy the Internet? · · Score: 1

    First they came for Google and I did not complain as I was not Google.

    Then they came for Netflix and I did not complain as I was not Netflix.

    Then they came for my wallet through low caps and high overage charges and I could not complain because I had no more money.

  7. Re:I wonder.. on Aussie Research Company Brings Wi-Fi To TV Antenna · · Score: 1

    FTA: The CSIRO will tomorrow unveil a breakthrough in wireless technology that will allow multiple users to upload content at the same time while maintaining a data transfer rate of 12 megabits per second (Mbps), all over their old analog TV aerial.

  8. Sansa Mp3 player and large calendar on the wall on How Do You Manage the Information In Your Life? · · Score: 1

    I use the Mp3 player for voice recordings/notes when I am out and about. I use the calendar on the wall for appointments, grocery lists, rent amounts, and such. I use facebook notes for info that I don't care about with regards to privacy. I try to follow the engineering principle of KISS or keep it simple stupid when dealing with the volume of information.

  9. Obligatory on Last Roll of Kodachrome Processed · · Score: 1

    I may be showing my age by posting this but here is Paul Simon's "Kodachrome".

  10. It's not a worm.... on Olympus Digital Camera Ships With a Worm · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's a feature!

  11. Re:Noobs in the millitary on Air Force Treating Wounds With Lasers and Nanotech · · Score: 1

    Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

  12. Re:Free economy, regulate fraud on Senators Tell Facebook To Quit Sharing Users' Info · · Score: 1

    You may not be able to purge the data from their systems but you can alter it in such a way to make it unrecognizable. Start by going to Account in the upper right hand corner then go to account settings. Change all that data in there and use an email you create just for this purpose and link to it. Problem solved.

  13. How long will it take for someone to write a virus on Canadian Judge Orders Disclosure of Anonymous Posters · · Score: 1

    I can imagine a virus or worm that hijacks someone's machine to harvest accounts to post libel. Who is responsible then? What happens when the judge's computer gets hijacked? Same with any speech we find the need to control, who does the law find responsible? Can you imagine a Beowulf cluster of these?

  14. Re:It said that Descartes liked turtles. on Key Letter By Descartes Found After 170 Years · · Score: 1

    Congress is trying to fence off those turtles. How would Descartes feel about this?

  15. Re:Well, MagicJack succeeded in on Magicjack Loses Legal Attack Against Boing Boing · · Score: 1

    I have activated 4 MagicJacks without issue. I suspect the problem here may be a PEBCAK error here but I am not sure unless I have more info on what you did to include the spec of your machine and connection. I am not sure how your post was rated +5 "informative" because it is anything but. I don't doubt that you had an issue with two of them but from the looks of it you didn't even try to download the update which I suspect would of fixed your issue. Just a guess without knowing more. FYI I do not in any way work for MagicJack.

  16. Re:Its All About Power and Money on Debunking a Climate-Change Skeptic · · Score: 1

    Nobody has every claimed that we are making the sun hotter. This demonstrates that you really don't understand the problem. The problem is that the heat from the sun is being trapped here. As an analogy, my house stays pretty cool even on hot days without the need for air conditioning. As long as it gets cooler at night, it stays pleasant during the day. But if it stays hot at night, it doesn't get a chance to lose the build-up of heat from the previous day and it gets more unpleasant as after day. The days are not necessarily hotter, but the accumulated heat energy means that each successive day has a larger affect.

    Some people say the problem is that the heat from the sun is being trapped here while others say there is no human solvable problem as there is a natural cycle of climate change due to sunspots and that no amount of human activity is going to change that. Documentary reference is here on this very subject.

    Of course this documentary goes into detail that water is an even greater greenhouse gas than CO2.

  17. Next up, beware of gifts from strangers. on FBI Probing PA School Webcam Spy Case · · Score: 1

    Pedophile voice: "Hey little boy! You want a free laptop?"

  18. Re:Damn Good. on FBI Probing PA School Webcam Spy Case · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    For me the first thing I thought of when I heard about this case was that quote from Avatar : "I see you."

  19. Re:When... on Gov't Proposes "National Climate Service" For the US · · Score: 2
  20. Re:Just a thought..... on Nano-Scale Robot Arm Moves Atoms With 100% Accuracy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And when this technology matures it will be used not only to scrub CO2 but also in a eugenics program to scrub unwanted DNA sequences. If you think it can't happen you are very naive and put too much faith into humanity as a whole.

  21. Re:Why? on AMD Delivers DX11 Graphics Solution For Under $100 · · Score: 1

    Because with hardware tessellation the image will look more real and with more compute shaders(64 bit) your F@H epeen will grow.

  22. Programs should not need admin rights to run on Do Your Developers Have Local Admin Rights? · · Score: 1

    Programs that do are just sloppy/lazy coding. Unfortunately that describes most of the code out there.

  23. Only a matter of time on Best Man Rigs Newlyweds' Bed To Tweet During Sex · · Score: 1

    Only a matter of time before someone puts one of these in a motel room that rents by the hour.

  24. Re:Age and quality. on Slashdot Turns 100,000 · · Score: 1

    Yes, but "Not sure" was taken in the movie Idiocracy so /. is trying to get away from that connotation. :)

  25. Re:Age and quality. on Slashdot Turns 100,000 · · Score: 1

    You conspicuously forgot Linux vs. Windows, PC vs. Mac.
