Fuck yeah, fi

You don't even need a shortwave radio to listen in anymore. There are dozens of shortwave radios hooked up to web servers located all over the world running WebSDR, allowing anyone with an Internet connection and little to no knowledge of radios to hear this kind of stuff.

If you ask me, ICE should be securing America's borders, not being the Internet Police.

But there are those questions which are impossible to answer even with cutting edge science, which is where religion comes in: to answer the "why."

Do you really need to save all those Blu-ray rips of the latest Hollywood blockbusters? Just delete them after you watch them. That way you'll have plenty of room for all those raw uncompressed video.

... in $1 bills.

Except nerds don't drink, so I can't see how that could happen.

Slashdot mods were probably like "OH GOD! FINALLY! An article saying something BAD about Windows 7! MUST. PUBLISH!"

What use would HTML5 have if Google insists on streaming crystal-clear high-definition unskippable ads to me in a few seconds, but streams the video to me bit-by-bit to the point where it takes five minutes to watch a one minute HD video.

In the film "Out of Time" (a film about a cop, played by Denzel Washington, whose secret girlfriend shows up dead, and the cop keeps his affair with her a secret until he can figure out who "killed" her), there is a scene where Denzel's character has to alter his "dead" lover's phone records to keep his affair with her a secret, so he snatches the records from the fax machine before anyone notices, scans them into his Windows 2000 PC, and uses some low-tech imaging program to delete each of his phone numbers from the list, then sends the altered phone records to the fax machine, all while his partner is on the phone with the phone company getting them to re-fax the records.

His PC ran Windows 2000 with no fancy graphics, and even had a slowly moving progress bar.

In Soviet Russia, police corrupt you!

Journalists use a writing style that provides a bulk of the information towards the beginning of the article. This report is akin to someone who picks up a newspaper while, for instance, waiting in line at a supermarket, skims over the headlines, but doesn't purchase the paper.

"FLOSS" sounds like what I use to clean my teeth.

Who the fuck is Jack Benny, and why the fuck should I care that CBS has committed the atrocity of refusing to "preserve" his films?
