    with the smashed screen. "Here ya go Officer Mister. Hey, what did you do to my phone?"

  2. Start Menu now called Start Ribbon. on Microsoft Killed the Start Menu Because No One Uses It · · Score: 1

    Pretty much will work the same as the dock on OSX or Ubuntu Unity. Let's hope they allow customization to remain.

    My spare has been in the same place since I bought my car. Sucks for you tho.

  4. Re:Espionage? on SAIC Loses Data of 4.9 Million Patients · · Score: 1

    More like cover up for a data breach/loss they have no clue how to fix right now. This limits their liability to "Yea, well he was fired. Won't happen again."

  5. They don't define "religion" very well in TFA. on Science and Religion Can and Do Mix, Mostly · · Score: 1

    Are we talking simple faith that a higher power exists or strict dogmatics of some splinter cult?

    I'm not a shill. Just had a great laugh over this advertised website at the bottom of TFA. The kind of thing you must share with the rest of the cubefarm residents.

     

  8. Re:Sensationalist? I strongly disagree on How Microsoft Can Lock Linux Off Windows 8 PCs · · Score: 1

    Have you tried some of the latest offerings. You would be surprised how fast they are if you can dedicate mulitple processors to the VM. Granted you need a serious CPU. Something in the Intel i7 realm.

    Try that second sentence again without using the words "bad" and "good" to differentiate the "guys" involved.

  13. Re:Why wait? on Cop Seeks Wiretapping Charges For Woman Who Videotaped Beating · · Score: 1

    Thanks for coming around to the best approach. Trust me. Any innocent person armed with video that clears them of a charge would NOT sit on it while getting dragged throught the hell that is associated with a criminal charge.

    Typically, a person charged with a crime has ALREADY been arrested and spent time in jail. If they have the mean$, they bailed out. Possibly, putting up their home or their parents home to secure the bond. They may have lost a job if they could not call in absent or if the employer found out about the arrest. Not being able to find another job with an arrest record could lead to homelessness. They may have lost a custody battle for their children. They may have suffered dishonor among friends and family simply due to the CHARGES not the CONVICTION. They may have had to plea guilty to a lesser charge in order to get out of jail quicker in order to avoid any/all of the above complications. At that point your video is near worthless. It is nearly impossible to withdraw a plea bargain after admitting guilt.

    ASAP - Deliver that video evidence to the DA, the suspect, the victim, the lawyer for the defense, and your local news outlet. Post it to youtube and keep a backup for yourself.

    I have never had a cop say to me, "Don't worry about yourself. I am here to protect you."

  18. Re:So goes a once-talented filmmaker on Lucas Loses Star Wars Stormtrooper Copyright Case · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but he has an entire Marin county valley named after him in Northern California. Smith Ranch Road became Lucas Valley Road west of Highway 101. This while still being alive. Usually, people don't have things named after them until they are dead. (presidential libraries excepted).

    Having the county name a geographical region after you is a success.

  19. Re:"Dual Survival" is the best of this show type. on NASA's New Bag Turns Urine Into Sports Drink · · Score: 1

    I wasn't referring to Bear Grylls at all so your reply makes so little sense I almost did not respond. To clarify, I was referring to Dave Canterbury as the ex-military guy. He and Cody Lundin (the primitive expert) make up the "Dual" in "Dual Survival". Neither of them would I call "flashy"

    Your inability to comprehend my simple statement makes me hope that you paid better attention during your survival training schools.

  20. The EFF should be able to argue this for the win. on DOJ: We Can Force You To Decrypt That Laptop · · Score: 1

    It may well require a US Supreme Court decision, but if well argued should be a win for the EFF. The protection against self-incrimination is very solid and should be extended to encrypted electronic devices. IMHO, IANAL, WWJD,

  23. "Dual Survival" is the best of this show type. on NASA's New Bag Turns Urine Into Sports Drink · · Score: 2

    You have two hosts with different skillsets. One is a hippie, primitive skills expert, desert dwelling, bare-foot walker. The other is an ex-military, hunter, swamp/forest dwelling, boot wearer.

    They tell you up front that they stage the situation, but make it entertaining and educational to watch.

    As a outdoorsman/kid all my life even I have picked up some interesting tips from the show. No non-professional adventurer can go to all the places these shows take you.

  25. Re:Sorry, this is photoshopped. The Shadows. No? on Star Wars Landspeeders Are Here · · Score: 1

    Don't get me wrong. I think this is cool. This is a well made prop. I just have issues with the images being photoshopped. The website in the op shows photos of the prop in front of a matte painting with studio lighting. The video is edited in a manner that does not give the viewer a great look at the undercarriage. Movie magic, not at it's finest, but present.

    Forgive me if I remain skeptical of /. headline and of the pictures being untouched.
