  1. I would be called a cheater on Cheaters Exposed Analyzing Statistical Anomalies · · Score: 1

    like test-takers who did better on harder questions than easy ones, a sign of advance knowledge of part of a test

    I usually get the hard ones right and the easier ones wrong, probably because I pay more attention to the hard ones but skim the easy ones. That's just the way I work.

  2. Re:If there's no ad, it's more likely fair use on Should Wikipedia Just Accept Ads Already? · · Score: 1

    They could disable ads on pages containing "unlicensed use of copyrighted works under fair use."

  3. What do they do with the botnet? on A Third of World's Spam From One Russian Man · · Score: 1

    Do they take it down? Confiscate it for the governments use?

  4. What can I do to stop the filter? on Australian Gov't Seeks To Record Citizens' Web Histories · · Score: 1

    Who would I have to vote for in the next election to stop the filter?

  5. I read on Best Man Rigs Newlyweds' Bed To Tweet During Sex · · Score: 1

    Pleasure sensor

  6. OLPC on Low-Power Home Linux Server? · · Score: 1

    If you can get one... Small, durable, lowpower...

  7. Reverse... on The US's Reverse Brain Drain · · Score: 1

    I don't think that word means what you think it means...

  8. I've dug up the recommendation... on AU Government To Build "Unhackable" Netbooks · · Score: 1

    The recommendation given by the Australians Information and Communications Technology in Education to the government.
    I'm not sure if it's different to normal government recommendation but it seems as if this committee has had quite a lot of crack, its full of useless general statements repeating the ideas of the proposal and doesn't mention any actual information.

  9. Re:Theme Hospital 2 on EA Looking Into Reviving Classic Games? · · Score: 4, Informative

    There is an open source Theme Hospital in progress, OpenTH

  10. Re:Holding my breath on Wearable Computer With Lightweight HUD · · Score: 1

    A Sonar, Radar with some extra cameras could, with some pretty long scripts, detect threat, a few accelerometers in your clothing and pulse monitors would also be cool.

    This wearable computer doesn't look particularly impressive, I could probably make something better, longer lasting and actualy portable with my eee pc, the frogpad and the glasses-screen.

  11. Re:Ballot screen? on Microsoft Agrees To EU Browser Ballot Screen · · Score: 1

    It would be more like if Chevy controlled 90% the dealerships in town, forcing them to only sell Chevy.

    Then the government comes along and tells them that they have to allow other cars to be sold...

    "Ok Joe... which brand car would you like? A Chevy, Ford, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan, or Honda?"

  12. Re:It's the smog monster! on Huge Unidentified Organic Blob Floating Around Alaska · · Score: 1

    To eat it?

  13. Re:Close to natural language is best on Best Introduction To Programming For Bright 11-14-Year-Olds? · · Score: 1

    Whats wrong with lisp?

  14. Are they serious? on Microsoft Exploit Predictions Right 40% of Time · · Score: 1

    Predicting something will change the outcome in this case.
    Not only will hackers know the most exploitable bug but they will also know the least likely to be updated.
    Yet another bloat to innocent users.
    FFS can someone make them a feature usefulness vs crap predictor..

  15. Is anyone else wondering on Japanese Company Says Laws of Physics Don't Apply — to Cars · · Score: 1
  16. Iv worked it out! Its ingenious! on Japanese Company Says Laws of Physics Don't Apply — to Cars · · Score: 1

    Here I present this.
    My full worked description.
    No extra water!

  17. Government - cut RIAA/MPAA out on $5 Per Month Fee Proposed For Legal Music P2P · · Score: 1

    How about the government just makes a tax for everyone that directly funds the Artists and Producers, providing free media to the public. Why would we ever need RIAA/MPAA they'd just be a middle man.

  18. iSketch! on What Are The Best Free Games Online? · · Score: 1

    Although not flash isketch(www.isketch.org) is a very original game where players basically play a new version of pictionary in a huge online community in various rooms ranging from English(uk/us) to warcraft to science and mathematical topics. I think its awesome and id like to see more people on it!

  19. Car + Laptop+ Wireless card = Net! on What To Do When Broadband is Not An Option? · · Score: 1

    What about driving to the suburbs and borrowing someone else's net.
