  1. Re:welcome to the future on Motorola Sticks To Guns On Locking Down Android · · Score: 1

    I believe that's why he wrote "Torvalds et all(sic)"

  2. Re:Shifting definition of "piracy" on Sony, Universal Hope To Beat Piracy With 'Instant Pop' · · Score: 1

    Not a new definition. The 'content' industry has been delusional for awhile. Remember the ad "Home taping is killing music. (at the bottom) and it's illegal." ?

    They made the last part up, it was never illegal, and betamax proved that.

  3. Re:Modern cameras have _much_ more than one f-stop on World's First Full HDR Video System Unveiled · · Score: 1

    I think the point is 'at any one time.' The range of the aperture is different, my Canon "L" glass can range from f2.8 to the upper 20s. You can't have a camera that has a range, as the aperture can only be a hole that limits the light. The only way you could have more than one at once is a camera which would have multiple sensors and multiple apertures. Don't know if that would even be possible.'

    Heh. I think most photographes/videographers would be offended by that notion, unless you're being sarcastic. 8-)

    This would be useful for visually seeing how much air is left.

  6. Trashy stuff on Dating Site Creates Profiles From Public Records · · Score: 1

    These dating site ideas are getting pathetic. I saw a commercial ON TELEVISION for a website aimed at connecting married partners who want to have an affair. This is possibly one of the most tasteless ideas/commercials I have ever witnessed.

    I'd be pissed if some asshole company put a week hold on my very large, single dollar payout. Boy, waiting a week for a dollar? What a slap.

    Don't cry.

    Not all martyrs see divinity.

    Standing above the crowd,
    He had a voice that was strong and loud.

  13. Re:Because it was clear he knew nothing on Ted Stevens and Sean O'Keefe In Plane Crash · · Score: 1

    What Senator Stevens needed was a 'youtube.'

    If only he had known about the 'youtube,' he would have learned to use this personalized tube so his internet didn't get all caught up in 'his tubes' and 'her tubes,' filled with movies, it could have gone straight to his 'youtube.'

    You didn't hear about the liberal's "sacrifices?"

    Man oh man, they wanted to KILL all of the old people (also Sarah Palin's mentally challenged kid).

    Can you believe it?

  15. Re:Handouts for rich JEWS on Electric Car Subsidies As Handouts For the Rich · · Score: 1

    Where I'm from, there's no liberal/conservative dichotomy. This means we on average have a better grip on reality. Of course, the article with its "limousine liberal" thing is a huge trollbait in itself, so nothing good will result.

    Where I'm from, there is, and I have a pretty good grip on reality. You mock the guy's stereotyped generalizations and then throw your own out there?

    As Jon Stewart said:

    I need my SUV to pull the boat I don't own, up the mountain I don't live by.


    Anyone remember when wealthy business owners were buying the Hummer H2 'for their business' then turning around and giving it to their wife. It weighed more than a certain weight so it was considered a 'heavy truck' and could be written off on your business' taxes. I wonder how many businesses will get new "green" cars, then turn around and give them to family members.

    go to a book store, buy a book and read it?

    You seem to know about a specific book designed to show pre-GUI coders the best way to advance from 80's coding languages?

    Far easier to get mercury and mind control chips into your skin if you can't see the syringe. At least before you could ask to examine your vaccine with a x-ing scope of some kind, now it's HIDDEN in the bandage. HIDDEN.

  20. Just don't brick it! on NASA Finds Cause of Voyager 2 Glitch · · Score: 2, Informative

    The Voyagers are my favorite probes!

    I wonder how many bits they'll have to send to change the one wrong one, and how long that will take.

    Leave it to the stoner astrophysicists Carl Sagan to oversee one of the more amazing feats of space trave!!

    Radioisotope thermoelectric generators are awesome!
    Anyone know how much fuel is remaining? They've been heating up for knowledge for a long period of time.



    Personally, I want about 6 of the units in Voyager 2, screw solar!

    People have continually twisted this original incident.

    The school wasn't watching him on the web cam and looking at what he was doing. This particular kid had taken 'inappropriate' pictures, and stored them to the computer. The school monitors all of the files on the computer, but not the web cam actively.

  25. Re:Mohs Scale of Hardness on Harder-Than-Diamond Natural Carbon Crystals Found · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Upon re-reading, the new ones are completely natural, not synthetic polycrystalline diamonds.

    It is interesting that there has been a substance created harder than regular diamonds that has been published for seven years! I figured there would be saw blades everywhere which advertised "new, better than diamond tipped!"
