  1. Re:Who could benefit from this medical info? on Break-In Compromises 160k Medical Records At UC Berkeley · · Score: 2, Informative

    I got the e-mail -- I was a student there at the time. It wasn't the medical records that were compromised, just the SHIP (student health insurance plan) waiver application data that was stolen. Those waivers included SSNs. It's more of a credit/identity theft issue than a medical record issue -- unless of course identity thieves were using that information for health insurance applications, which is, I guess, a real possibility.

  2. Re:Coming soon, on Powering Restaurants WIth Deep Fried Fuel · · Score: 3, Funny

    Now if they could only harness the methane from all those cows -- then we'd be talking about McDonald's as a serious energy company.

  3. Re:Why stop online? on Calif. Politican Thinks Blurred Online Maps Would Deter Terrorists · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Agreed. Plus, GPS devices should be outlawed -- terrorists could use them to navigate in lieu of maps. Actually, history books, almanacs, encyclopedias, these all tell terrorists what we care about. Those should be outlawed too. Plus the internet, which allows them to communicate, and possibly phones, the mail system, UPS, FedEx and other courier services. Then maybe we can finally feel safe!

  4. Re:Mario Kart?? on The Most Influential Games In History? · · Score: 0

    I'm sorry. The rest of the list looks accurate? Final Fantasy XII more influential than Final Fantasy VII? WTF?!?!

  5. Ad revenue on Why Kindle 2's Screen Took 12 Years and $150 Million · · Score: 0

    Silicon Valley Insider notes that the so called savings would kill ad revenue. Lets not forget where most publications make most of their revenue. The real trick here is to make a profitable ad delivery system on portable devices in order to make subsidized delivery of the devices a real possibility.

  6. For humans soon? on Scientists Harvest Nano-Power From Hamsters · · Score: 0

    I'm strapping one on for unlimited battery life. Seriously, though, my iPod should never die when I'm on the treadmill burning energy that's just going to waste...

  7. Natural gas on Norfolk Town's Schools First To Be Heated By Burning Cattle · · Score: 0

    How is that not natural gas?

  8. Jersey... on Video Game Conditioning Spills Over Into Real Life · · Score: 5, Funny

    I've avoided Jersey all my life. No news there.
