  1. Re:Just keep calm... on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Way To Deal With Roving TSA Teams? · · Score: 1

    The best part of your linked article:
    "There are notices posted at the entrance to the station that the inspection is in progress."

    These signs are a requirment of OSHA rules to protect the safety of the TSA staff
    We couldn't have them being blowen up now could we?

    He is A number 2!

  3. Re:can we get this tagged on Sony Prototype Sends Electricity Through the Air · · Score: 1

    Do you have any idea how much power is used to actually produce that few inches of wire? Doubtfull as it may be but systems like this may end up saving energy in the future. Even if they are not 100% energy efficient. Imagine how much money/energy would be saved if you never had to wire a house in the first place. Or if we could actualy get a wireless transmission system. Those telephone polls don't grow on trees.... Get a clue

    You forget that the magnetic resonance device has copper coil in the sender and another in the receiver and probably uses more copper than a 2 foot cord. let alone the energy used to make the semiconductors required to make it work

  4. Re:What if there are two Donal Blaneys? on UK Court Order Served Over Twitter, To Anonymous User Posing As Another · · Score: 1

    What if Donal Blaney is his real name? Or better yet, since names can apparently be copywrited, what if the Twitter Donal Blaney is older than the Donal Blaney at Blaney's Blarney? Can the Twitter Donal Blaney sue the other one to force him to change the name of his blog?

    Bullshit,

    I'm the only Donal Blaney!

    I have total rights over my name and no one else may use it

    I have just set the RIAA's lawyers getting onto the case.

  6. odds on Crew For Final Scheduled Space Shuttle Mission Selected · · Score: 1

    The entire crew will face odds of about 1 in 200 of returning on a soyuz or being killed due to a catastrophic failure.

    The shuttle is great and all but really has a few serious weaknesses so its time to move on.

  7. don't worry on Data Center Flood Captured By Security Cam · · Score: 1

    Don't worry

    Its standard procedure when dealing with 'lp0 printer on fire!' errors

  8. EMC Nightmere on Student Designs Cardboard Computer Case · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not again.

    This is not the first time we have seen this idea

    cardboard does not act as a Farady cage and the computer will leak large amounts of radio frequency interference so will not be legal in most countries.
