  1. Re:No way on Interrupted Sleep Might Be the Best Kind · · Score: 1

    I call BS also. I've had patterns of broken sleep due to children and picking my girlfriend up from third shift and both had a significant negative effect on my energy levels and focus. Recovery 2-3 months of continuous uninterrupted sleep before I had normal energy levels throughout the day. What was the purpose of this study?

  2. I wonder on Why Tesla Cars Aren't Bricked By Failing Batteries · · Score: 1

    If it was news when the first 5 horseless carriages ran out of fuel.

  3. Re:I hate subjects on Playbook OS 2.0 Released · · Score: 2

    I did some quick searching and couldn't find it, but I thought Blackberry claimed the playbook did not have an email client due to security risks?

  4. Alas.. on The webOS Features Other OSes Should Steal · · Score: 1

    I miss using the palm pre I had.

  5. Who cares?? on Hotmail's Spam Filter: The Best In the Business? · · Score: 1

    What difference does it make when SSL is off by default and 3rd parties can hijack your email, then change the password to sites with credit info, unfortunately I know this from experience. Better turn on SSL, just saying...

  6. Re:Wait on Sale Or License? Sister Sledge Sues Over ITunes · · Score: 2

    BS! That is why they sue the piss out of anybody that can be proven to have downloaded music, to return all the lost profits to the creator.

    and blast anybody that posts facts from the article that contradict the summary.

  9. Re:Disturbing mental image on FAA Bill Authorizes Surveillance Drones Over US · · Score: 1

    So if I do not have a FB account, would that be an alternate definition for "off the grid".

  10. Re:Not cost-effective on FAA Bill Authorizes Surveillance Drones Over US · · Score: 1

    I wonder if we're talking turbine powered autonomous drones or glorified remote control hobbyist grade toys.

  11. Re:Telling idiots what they want to hear... on Proposed Law Would Give DHS Power Over Privately Owned IT Infrastructure · · Score: 1
  12. Could this be used against sites staging protests? Such as wikipedia.org protesting SOPA.

  13. Re:Why is gender important? on Red Hat Appoints Robyn Bergeron First Female Fedora Project Leader · · Score: 2

    and besides, the glass ceiling is only 3 atoms thick now.

  14. Recovery? on iOS Vs. Android: Which Has the Crashiest Apps? · · Score: 1

    Using both android and iphone apps, I'm not sure I could say one is more stable over the other, but what about recovery. If an android app crashes you can go into applications and force quit, restart and it is fixed! What is the procedure for recovering a crashed app on an iphone? Opera and pandora have crashed on my iphone, I attempted recovery by powering off the iphone and uninstalling and reinstalling the apps only to arrive in the sane non-functional state. After a day or so of ignoring the issue they seem to be "restarted" and work correctly again.

  15. Re:Your welcome everyone on Firefox 10 Released · · Score: 1

    With Firefox 11 nearing beta, you could hold off(what, a few months) and upgrade on the odd number releases.

  16. Re:This proves that on DHS Sends Tourists Home Over Twitter Jokes · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Wait.. which ones are the terrorists again?

  17. Re:Yeah, Kids don't know better yet... on Pentagon Drafts Kids To Build Drones and Robots · · Score: 2

    Mommy: What did you do at school today? Johnny: My drone killed 4,500 people.

  18. Re:Hmmm on Amateur UAV Pilot Exposes Texas River of Blood · · Score: 1

    The use of the word drone makes it easier to lobby for regulation.

  19. Re:There are no acceptable ads. on Google Updates Algorithm To Punish Websites With Excessive Ads · · Score: 1

    I have no stats to back this up, but webM seems more resource intensive than flash based on the few webM enabled sites I've visited and attempting to view webM encoded video from youtube.

  20. Re:Why do they need SOPA again? on Megaupload.com Shut Down, Founder Charged With Piracy · · Score: 1

    So the record industry can take down sites.

  21. Re:I'm surprised the FBI isn't lobbying against th on Protect IP Act May Be Amended · · Score: 1

    Why should they worry about lobbying against it when they operate unrestricted as it is.

  25. Re:Not only domains on Finnish ISP Forced To Block the Pirate Bay · · Score: 2

    Watching my brother try to play blueray discs on a PC looked like a bit of a science project. Among the issues he had with finding a compatible player, audio would only be output through HDMI and his amp/receiver does not have an HDMI input, so he was running audio out from the TV back to the amp. If the TV did not have an audio out, a "cracked" video may have been the only solution, besides buying new components.
