  2. Criminal Statute Applicability on GCHQ Created Spoofed LinkedIn and Slashdot Sites To Serve Malware · · Score: 1

    I assume that this qualifies as a violation of various international laws aimed at curbing and combating the unauthorized use of private computer systems/networks. Resultantly, it appears that some of these government agencies have been acting in complete abrogation of the law, and should face statutory criminal consequences for these actions.

  3. RFID Tagging on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    If finding kids quivering in terror in closets hours after the shooting finished is not the most compelling argument for RFID tagging kids in school... then I don't know what to tell you.

  4. What do they mean by "seeking out"? on Pentagon Seeking Out Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    Is "seeking out" a nice way of saying that his photograph and last known locations were distributed to predator drone pilots at Ellis AFB?

  5. All in context, my dear boy. on Indonesians Want To Microchip AIDS Patients · · Score: 1

    Many inhabitants of Papua come from rather primitive cultures and many of them reject modern science and medicine.

    A native Papuan is far more likely to reject their diagnosis as the result of psychological dissonance than would an American or European.

  6. Digg Not Showing Up in Top Links on Growing Censorship Concerns at Digg · · Score: 1

    This story belongs in today's "TOP LINKS". Looks like they've edited it out of the "TOP LINKS"... it definitely has enough votes to be today's #2 digg.

  7. Most Chinese bloggers could care less... on Chinese Bloggers Stage Hoax · · Score: 1

    ...about freedom of speech...

    as long as they are well-supplied with their Burberry, Gucci and Chanel goods.

  8. Not innovative... on PCs Posted No Trespass · · Score: 1

    Same concept was used against the ex-Intel employee who flooded their email servers with his messages every day.

    all jurisdictions allow you to do so with the permission of both parties which is most likely purpose of such a feature. directions, appointments, birthdays, et al.

  10. WRONG on White House Lied About Iraq Nuclear Programs · · Score: 1

    Clinton lied under oath in a deposition related to the Paula Jones civil lawsuit alleging him of a Sec. 1983 violation of her civil rights under color of authority. He stated he had never met Paula Jones and had never gone to a hotel room with her and exposed himself. While it is concievable that he didn't pull out his cock... he clearly knew Jones and totally lied under oath and deserved to have his law license suspended. After I read the transcripts of the depositions in their entirety in my Civil Procedure course in law school... I saw this in a whole different light.

    PS I think Bill Clinton was an awesome President... but he DID fuck up on this one.

  11. Re:Haiti on Global Warming Expected to Intensify Hurricanes · · Score: -1, Troll

    you're making the false assumption that people in America value the life of foreigners. I'd say that less than 20% of us do.

    50 people killed in a car bomb in Baghdad? fuck em! all this while Lacy Peterson and "Baby Connor" warrant years of endless news coverage.

  12. Colloidal Silver on Ask Libertarian Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik · · Score: 1

    what kind of "accident" would leave a dozen corpses in a nuclear weapons research facility for a year and a half? did it involve the T-virus and zombies?

  14. The simple reason for the blacklisting... on PayPal to Fine Gambling, Porn Sites · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the chargeback numbers for these types of merchants are incredible. it's an issue of Paypal losing money... not any type of feigned morality.

  15. and how often does this happen? on PayPal to Fine Gambling, Porn Sites · · Score: 1

    almost never... reformation of a contract comes about in literally 1 out of 300,000 contract cases. in fact we had a project to look for contracts that were voided because of mistake... and we found 3... in the history of the United States... and they were all from New Hampshire or something.

  16. Re:BIG SIGH on AbiWord vs. MS Word, For Now · · Score: 1

    I was up all night drinking, dancing and gallavanting about... but at some point I had to come home. So to answer a modified version of your question... the best thing I can think of to do after coming home and partying all night is whore the slashdot forums and complain about that stupid grammar checker which really sucks. For additional clarification please refer to my sig. ;)

  17. BIG SIGH on AbiWord vs. MS Word, For Now · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yea yea... it should be "disable" and not "disabling". If it makes anyone feel any better next time I'm up all night drinking I'll be sure to proofread my posts before hitting the submit button. *smacks forehead*

    However, I do stand by my initial assertion that the grammar checker is relatively useless for someone with a strong writing background and who regularly proofreads their work.

  18. No grammar checker... who gives a F? on AbiWord vs. MS Word, For Now · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The first thing I do after killing Clippy is disabling the grammar checker. The thing is such a piece of garbage... the last thing I need is for a computer to tell me how to write.

    Here in Los Angeles... everyone speaks Spanish. However... when I was in the military... I found that Latinos from Texas and New Mexico did not. Wierd phenomenon.

  20. Re:National Space Station on China Scrubs Moon Mission Plans · · Score: 1

    well we already have one difficult partner... Russia... who can't put a single thing into orbit within 3 years of when it's supposed to be there... next you'll have the Chinese making unreasonable demands and holding up the program.

    or maybe the Japanese just don't want them there?

  21. Liberal erosion of rights...? on China Scrubs Moon Mission Plans · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    While I must concede that the Democrats have curtailed rights in some areas... such as gun control... it is UNDENIABLE that Bush and his crony Ashcroft have done more damage to our Constitutional liberties in the past 3 years than the Democratic Party has done since its inception.

  22. Silver lining... on Telecom Carriers Use Deceptive Advertising · · Score: 3, Interesting

    some people have reported that you may be able to use a fee hike to your advantage. since it is a modification to your existing contract, you may be able to reject the fee and have your contract cancelled without paying an early termination fee. YMMV

  25. F.O.P.T. may be a thing of the past... on Save a Chatlog... Go to Prison? · · Score: 1

    not if it's sufficiently attenuated, or removed from the original bad act that it has been purged of it's "illegal taint".

    Missouri v. Seibert is before the US Supreme Court right now and involves a practice known as the two-step interrogation. the way the law stands now... they can interrogate you without giving you your Miranda warnings... and make you confess! of course making you confess is a violation of your 5th Amendment rights and is excluded as FOPT.

    here's the sneaky part that the Rehnquist court has allowed:

    once a criminal has confessed they're Mirandized. since they already confessed they sign a written confession or confess again on tape. the second confession after being Mirandized is now a valid waiver of the 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination... and is admissible!

    the court has upheld it in the past... but the cops in SEIBERT were specifically trained to backdoor suspects like this. I don't see them throwing the confession out, personally.
