  1. I found his source on The Polymath: Lowell Wood Is America's New Top Inventor (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I am pretty sure he gets all the good ideas from Slashdot.

  2. Great! on Bill Gates's Plan To Improve Our World · · Score: 1

    Does this means he will fund Linux?

  3. Outsourcing on ICANN Working Group Seeks To Kill WHOIS · · Score: 2

    They just fired the guy responsible for this form and want to outsource it.

  4. Thinking out of the box - Jamming the close signal on Keyless Remote Entry For Cars May Have Been Cracked · · Score: 5, Interesting

    A better theory would be that the guys just placed a device in the neighbourhood earlier, that JAMS the signal that closes the car door. Most users wouldnt notice, since they just turn back and start walking while pressing the lock button. AFAIK, it is easier to JAM a signal than to decrypt it. :) A small device with a 2W amplifier could cover a range from 500mts easily.

  5. Sixth Sense on Scientists Find Believing Can Be Seeing · · Score: 1

    I see dead people.

  6. Yellow Fever can be stopped too on Engineered Mosquitoes Could Wipe Out Dengue Fever · · Score: 1

    (some links to brazilian sites)

    The Aedes aegypti mosquito is the same mosquito that spreads the yellow fever.

    Here in Brazil we are now having some yellow fever cases on urban areas (usually we have cases at the forest, but we dont have on urban areas since 1942).

    People are getting a little paranoid and running to have the vacinne (which by the way is very effective), since it protects only for ten years and most of population dont have it. I have it because I traveled to north five years ago and it was obligatory.

  7. Re:Horrible on The Biggest Roadblocks To Information Technology Development · · Score: 1

    I agree... give him three shells to clean thiss mess! :) []s, gandhi

  8. What about a normal, analog phone? on Bush Causes Cell Phone Ban · · Score: 1

    Well, the first problem is that if the bomb is already near the president, why not use a normal, analog phone, like all that old 007 movies?
    Hum... and what about the good and old cigar technique?
    Hum... a trigger that is activated by sound?
    Hum... maybe a laser line crossed by a leg? All you need is a five dollars laser pen and a 1 dollar sensor, cheaper than a cell phone...
    Hum... what about opening a door with a small switch? or placing a virus on the ventilating system! If it is near enough this can be done! heheh...

    Oh man... its too easy to kill the president. ;-)

  9. psychic software? on DSL Gateways to Fight Piracy by Marking Video · · Score: 1

    right... so this very advanced hardware/software will watermark the video file... hum... ok... that's cool...
    but wait! how in the hell it will do it if the file is cryptographed before the transfer?
    Do you really think it is hard for P2P software to just "envelope" the file?
    Its easy to watermark only if you know what you are watermarking... the dsl cables hardware cant analyze or decrypt the files withou being the ultimate Playstation Cell processor. ;-)
    Well, maybe the software will just "guess" the file inside that bunch of criptographed bytes is a video, or like the Psych series, he will just "sense" it by looking a name with the ending wmv or avi...
    Oh man... maybe the "enchanted" can help us!
