    These days, the even bigger issue with a hijacking is getting into the cockpit, now that its security has been increased.

  2. Obligatory Simpsons on Why Are the Best and Brightest Not Flooding DARPA? · · Score: 5, Funny

    How about a music video with lyrics such as "APRAD nioj"?

  3. Bug? on AoC Bug Penalizes Female Characters? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Are we sure it's a bug, and not just the work of some sexist programmer?

  4. Breach notification laws on ID Theft In US Continues Apace Despite Data Breach Laws · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Data breach notification are useless when institutions don't know they've been breached. I'm sure there are lots of those cases.

  9. Re:Get your Yuks in now on New Urinal-Based Video Game Makes a Splash · · Score: 1

    If we're quoting The Simpsons, what about Ivanna Tinkle?

  10. I don't understand the outrage on Amputee Sprinter Wins Olympic Appeal to Compete · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure how people can complain about him getting an advantage. The summary states that he's currently too slow to even qualify.

  11. Re:Benefit of a doubt? on NBC Activates Broadcast Flag · · Score: 1

    Got that right; I've read that WNBC (in New York) is standing behind anchor Sue Simmons despite using the word "fuck" during a teaser for the news.

  12. Idea on Xbox 360 Power Supply Blamed for Arkansas House Fire · · Score: 1

    Perhaps there should be a temperature sensor which would turn the system off if the temperature got too high. Fires aside, it would prevent hardware problems as well.

  13. Re:April Fewls on IBM Suspended From US Federal Contracts · · Score: 1

    Rickroll alert!

    Jimmy Kimmel does this sort of thing from time to time on his show.

  18. You would think... on Top 10 Most Memorable Tech Super Bowl Ads · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That Slashdot would bother to announce a major change to its layout. I don't like it any more than I like the new discussion system.

  19. Here's an idea for machines on Ohio's Alternative to Diebold Machines May Be Equally Bad · · Score: 1

    Instead of a touch screen, perhaps there could be an electronic voting machine that has a row of buttons on each side of the screen, like an ATM. This could eliminate those inaccuracies. As for machine tampering, perhaps each machine should be reporting votes back in real time. That way, it would be hard to stuff a box, as multiple votes within a very small timeframe could raise a red flag. I definitely don't trust optical scanning, having been burned by it a couple of times on exams while in college.

  20. Re:Perfect thing to fit on a truck to ram somewher on Portable Nuclear Battery in the Development Stages · · Score: 1

    I didn't know Rosie O'Donnell posts here. What exactly is "free fall speed" anyway?

  21. Missing tag! on Genetically Engineered Mouse is Not Scared of Cats · · Score: 1

    Somebody please tag this 'itchyandscratchy'!

  22. Re:Offsets on Comcast Charges $1000 Per Wiretap · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, many American telcos have enjoyed monopolies in their market. However, in some areas (including mine), cable companies have started to offer competition. So switching isn't always an option.

  23. Re:What a crock on Microsoft's Ballmer: Google Reads Your Mail · · Score: 1

    What if it's a clear plastic tube? You can see through that.

  24. Re:Good Decision on Microsoft Extends XP's Life By 6 Months · · Score: 1

    Any why couldn't your people save to MS Office format from OpenOffice?

  25. Re:What exactly is being distributed? on Nintendo Sues Korean Sites Over Copyright Violations · · Score: 1

    I would think that the NES games would be exempt from the ESRB, even if re-released today, as they were created before the ratings were in effect.
