  1. Re: Americans don't plan ahead. on Slashdot Asks: How Prepared Are You For an Earthquake? · · Score: 1

    You talkin' to me? You talkin' to ME? -the Greek.

  2. Window to extradite Assange? on TVShack Creator's US Extradition Approved · · Score: 1

    I post this the same way that hackers point to weaknesses of systems to repair before they become a real threat. I don't suppose this "treaty" could be the window for the US government to request the extradition of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, on the grounds that he infringed the copyright of the material of the US government by posting it online. No longer needing to send back to Sweden or anywhere else. Any ideas if this IS a real threat guys?

  3. Re:2nd Amendment on Set Free Your Inner Jedi (Or Pyro) · · Score: 1

    This is why in certain parts of the world the greatest weapon of all, THE BRAIN has been discouraged. Actually, THIS kind of disarmament has worked out pretty well.

  4. Re:A different kind. on Microsoft Hides Firefox Extension In Toolbar Update · · Score: 1

    It is not called "evil" any more. Now we call it "expressed insecurities" and "complexive behaviour".

  5. Maybe this is their new distribution channel on Apple Loses Another 4th-Gen iPhone · · Score: 1

    Actually, that sounds like they are testing their new beta-testing environment. Steve is sly, you know...

  6. "Oh-boy, oh-boy, my favourite" on UK Court Finds Company Liable For Software Defects · · Score: 1

    Somebody try and convince this judge that the BSOD is a FEATURE and not a defect.

  7. Shotgun Wedding on Department of Education Purchasing 27 Shotguns · · Score: 1

    I think this is what they meant about marrying the old values of education with new methods to a complete "Education System Reform".
    ...well, brings to mind... "shotgun wedding".

  8. Re:I'm sorry to the XP-hater on Which Distro For an Eee PC? · · Score: 1

    Windows 3 was awsm! Stop attacking granfathers. Have you no respect for age? It gave you SOLITAIRE for free man! *sniff* (and I wonder if it would work on the eee -*evil smile*)

  9. Re:Check the HDD on How To Diagnose a Suddenly Slow Windows Computer? · · Score: 1

    Wow, there parn'r! How do you define speed? You DO say... "fast asleep", no? Also, it DOES piss people quite fast if you ask me. Still... I don't buy the "REALLY, I did NOTHING to it" (Except maybe installing the new windows patch/update/service-pack...)

  10. Re:It is ironical that Churchill once claimed Brit on Every Email In UK To Be Monitored · · Score: 1

    Well... everyone has to start SOMEWHERE, right? -Naomi Wolf on Democracy. I'm not saying I agree totaly, but... makes you think, no? V for Vendetta is FAR away, though.

  11. Re:Gotcha! on Every Email In UK To Be Monitored · · Score: 1

    Oh... and for some reason you guys find this... FUNNY? 5 ? Are you NUTS? It IS the way gvt thinks!

  12. Re:Too obsessive on Windows 7 To Be Called ... Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    You are SO correct. They should be doing this for the HEAD OF THE BETA TESTING DEPARTMENT who give their OK that the product is "ready to lauch" (Kasidis-head beta testing)

  13. Re:Star Trek Reference on Windows 7 To Be Called ... Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    All it needs now is an ad campaign featuring Jeri Ryan.

    I have a feeling that this will be more of a campaign using Jerry Lewis (Bob rest his soul). I mean... they have been using the same sounds as he did in his movies...

  14. Re:Welded Shut? [METAL] on Digital Storage To Survive a 25-Year Dirt Nap? · · Score: 1

    1) We live in an era of PLASTICS. We have some real bada$$ plastics around, that 25 years is nothing to. We are looking for materials that are airtight, and obviously humidity-tight. That's not the problem.
    2) Are we debating that we cannot figure out how to maintain simple _binary_ data for a generation? I cannot believe it. To think in a box, you can think out of the box.
    3) Another consideration, is the size of the data. Are we talking 1-2 pictures, or a few GB?

    One picture PRINTED... is STILL binary data to the eye or the brain.

  15. Re:Well done on Penguin Car Earns Indy500 Spot · · Score: 1

    In any case the important thing here is for the kernel of the car not to "crash"...

  16. Re:The weblog on Greek Blog Aggregator Arrested · · Score: 1

    Could this be the person who sued him? Could there be an arm twisting of the Greek justice, or just "friends" helping an offended friend? You see, there is a great distance from the European Ideal to the local power of authority, as there is from the American Ideals to a nowheresville sherif in the states.
