  1. Re:wait...... on DARPA Develops Dolphin-like Tail For Divers · · Score: 1

    Gosh, you really hurt my feelings. Good luck in life.

  2. wait...... on DARPA Develops Dolphin-like Tail For Divers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As noted: 300 meters in 4.7 minutes. Uh, how many people can hold their breath for just under 5 minutes? Wait, I'll answer for you: Not even many SEALS I know can hold out that long without moving. This is really a piece of combat equipment to be used with oxygen and not for tourists OR a novilty. Swimmers already have monofins that can propel you "almost" as fast.

  3. Sure on FTC To Examine Targeted Advertising · · Score: 1

    I am pretty sure in two days the FTC is not going to figure anything out.

  4. I know I am repeating folks with higher karam, but on AT&T Deal With eMusic Excludes iPhones · · Score: 1
    I am not to smart.

    What monkey will be downloading songs on to their iphone, rather then their computer?

    Guy 1 with iphone: "Maybe I'll just jot a little not down in my phone and get it later at home" Guy 2 with Razor: "Sucker, I can download it right now!" Guy 1: "Ah yea, but I have an iphone and I can go to utube and watch their video while you download it." Guy 2: "......"

  5. 3 oz liquid on Schneier Talks to the Head of TSA · · Score: 1
    1: I worked for DHS (BAO)

    2: I was 18B in the Army

    3: 3 oz of liquid explosives is plenty to make a hole in a airframe (and a lot of other things).

    4: You can see liquid explosives on most of the X-ray machine the TSA uses and all PAX screeners were trained for this since TSA inception. (you can also tell the difference between nail clippers and a knife or gun, but many screeners see metal and immediately call for a bag search)

  6. Re:Do I get any rewards for my honesty? on Our ATM Is Broken, Go To Jail · · Score: 1

    At my bank there is always free cookies!

  7. Batteries ARE the big problem on Toyota Unveils Plug-in Hybrid Prius · · Score: 1
    Actually the rechargeable battery market is having a huge problems, no new research is being done on rechargeable batteries. The solar market faces the same problem with batteries (being that they are the same sort).

    NPR had a Science Friday interview on it a month or two ago.

  8. Re:You should have bought a SQUIRREL! on High-Tech Squirrels Trained to Conduct Espionage · · Score: 1

    The Navy DOES have trained dolphins and sea lions, it's a really cool program. The can hook up or remove mines and all kinds of other tricks. Green Peace reports they are some of the best cared for marine animals in captivity.

    I figure you might be correct. Is that Token like car wash or middle earth? ;)

  10. My Space on Will MySpace Disrupt Television? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The more people who use myspace or watch TV, the less people in my space - the outdoors. Thanks Murdoch, I hope you make some money!

  11. when I rob a liquor store.... on Vista Makes Forensic PC Exam Easier for Lawyers · · Score: 1

    EVERY time I rob a liquor store I create detailed plans on my laptop running Vista, which I keep in my getaway car.

  12. Re:Airlines on More States Rebel Against Real ID Act · · Score: 1
    For some reason many people including some agents of the TSA believe you need an ID to get on a plane. This is not true. You need ID to not have additional screening.

    I have personally taken people who do not have any ID on them through a security check point at Anchorage Int Airport (which is a class IV/V airport) which run not by contractors but by the. Everything you have gets extra screening and you get padded down, but they will let you through in most cases. Of course not that the war on terror is dragging on, the TSA let's managers of airports make small changes to screen procedures, and that gets out of control sometimes and we hear these horror stories on the evening news.

  13. Re:Here's where Cameron goes Berzerk. on Photosynth Demo · · Score: 1

    Yea, I just bought 7 acre's with a shack in Hawaii. It's much warmer then Montana.

  14. I get it on Photosynth Demo · · Score: 1

    I watched the video and I must say, as a professional photographer that is the coolest fucking photgraphic thin I have ever seen. But I still say microsoft wants it both ways. Use our stuff for free and to have us pay for theirs.

  15. let me get this stright, on Photosynth Demo · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I can't send on music I get from Microsoft (DRM) to friends, but they can use my photos to beter their online content? Gosh, that does not seem fair. Can I buy a "Microsoft Rocks!" tee shirt for $100 too?

  16. Assumption of privacy on Google Street View Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1
    I think the UK with their millions (maybe not quite) of cameras and all the other technology in the world "proves" if you can see it from the street, don't think it's private. That is both metaphorical and actual. I have huge picture windows facing the street and I assume whatever I do in front of those windows can be seen and photographed by anyone. Of course I am extremely paranoid, as I have worked in Homeland Security Dept. and spec-ops in the Army and I know what our friends in the government can do to "friend and/or Foe"

    So good luck thinking that your privacy extends somewhere/somehow into the public view.

  17. Re:Who Uses Online Banking? on City Almost Loses 450K to Keylogger · · Score: 1

    I online bank and in 3 years have never changed my password. I don't log in from internet cafes or anything. My bank says I am covered no matter what. Other than not changing my password I have good security. I use a Mac on an IP filter and wep network and ND magnet my old hard drives. As a general rule I don't give out my bank info to anyone from Nigeria, the only banking thing that I do that bothers me is I have a paypal account that connects to my bank account and that kinda gives me the creeps.

  19. the geek-god theroy on Creationism Museum Opening in Kentucky · · Score: 1
    Here it is:

    Given an infinite universe and infinite timeline, a being could evolve with a super intellect and that could live forever and could master space-time, create a means of time travel. He could understand the placement of every atom and sub particle and master quantum math. Given a long enough timeline over multi space-times a being could become omnipotent and omniscient.

    This is known as the appel-vendal theory.

    We are on the way to being a police state!

    If if no one else has noticed, the price of ammunition is going up like mad, what does that mean? Really, the least expensive .223 I could find was 140 rounds of Federal for $90. A few months ago I got 400 rounds of .308 for $90 Do ya know how many bullets it takes to have (or stop) a "regime change" in a country the size of the US?

    If dithering fools your eyes and your eyes are the only tool most humans have to precieve colors. Gosh, I don't even know how to finish that thought. Well, maybe I'll just paint a picture since a picture says a thousand words. Lawsuits are lame.

  23. Maybe not so good an idea on Site Claims to Reveal 'Tattle-tales' · · Score: 1

    I bet these geeks think they are really clever coming up with an idea to get criminals to pay them to find out "who is a rat". But then again, rats are not angles either. These geeks have opened themselves up to some real world hurt where the pain might not end with a strongly worded email.
