  1. Re:How to deal with network security? on Separating Cyber-Warfare Fact From Fantasy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    *Default Deny
    *don't enumerate badness
    *forget about user education

    This sounds really familiar. Are you the author of this article?

  2. Artistic, perhaps. But art? No. on Video Game Screenshots As Art · · Score: 1

    It is 98% someone else's work, 2% you posing what amounts to dolls.

    In any other medium, this would not be considered art.

    If anything, a really good screen cap gallery should show how important atmosphere is to a game, especially one that is supposed to have any emotional depth. It should not serve to show off the shot-taker's (I loath to use the term "photographer") artistic sensibilities.

  3. Re:Worked with one would love to have one as sidek on Company Trains the Autistic To Test Software · · Score: 4, Interesting

    rely on autistics for tasks needing massive concentration and accuracy, I'll put all my trust in their hands.

    The more I hear this sentiment echoed, the more I think they're the ones who came out right, and we're the ones who are broken.

  4. Define "outsmart". on Scientists Worry Machines May Outsmart Man · · Score: 1

    I think their failure to define what they mean by "outsmart" reveals how directionless the whole AI debate is. Inevitably some people are going to be talking about one particular facet of conscious thought while others will be examining another part of the elephant. However, those two people are not doubt going to fight over what they both think is the same thing, when they are in fact, talking about completely different ideas.

  5. yes, but . . . on To Boldly Go Where No Mento Has Gone Before · · Score: 1

    Good luck getting Space Adventures to allow to "fool around" with that experiment.

  6. Re:vibration on Acoustic Sensors Make Any Surface a Touch Pad · · Score: 3, Funny

    Simple. Everyone with good taste in music (and no sense of humor) would get up and leave.

  7. Terraforming on The Moon's Magnetic Umbrellas · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So does that mean that terraforming is out of the question? I mean, even if we could create and hold an atmosphere (impossible for lack of gravity), would the moon remain uninhabitable due to a weak magnetosphere?

  8. What? No chart? on The U.S. Falling Behind In Broadband? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Not only does the article NOT have a chart, but it doesn't even bother to list who the OTHER 14 countries are?

    Also, I love how they mention ESTONIA with a tone that suggests we are somehow more "backwards" for falling behind them on some list. I'd be offended if I were Estonian.

  9. FireFox as SAMBA Client? on Mozilla People Answer Firefox 2.0 Questions · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Will FireFox ever be able browse a SAMBA network?

    P.S. I'm new to SAMBA.

  10. just to you beat you over the head with it . . . on Every Vista Computer Gets Its Own Domain Name · · Score: 0

    No one in my office got this, let me spell it out:

    "You can write better with the voice-recognition software included with Vista!!!"
