  1. How to solve this... sorta not really on Boeing Gets $89M To Build Drone That Can Fly For 5 Years Straight · · Score: 1

    Make the UAV fly at 1000 mph so it can be consistently 1pm if it follows along an easterly path forever.

  2. Futon Support on Canada's Largest Cities Seeing the End of the Phone Book · · Score: 2, Funny

    I am currently using mine to support my futon, the middle leg snapped, and the support bar is bent so this book sits below to prevent the bar from bending further.

  3. Re:You can do it canada! on "Canadian DMCA" Rising From the Dead · · Score: 1

    It sure is hard with the pop culture brainwash to resist American lobbyists, they have pretty much dictated Americas policies, and are trying their best to pressure us up here. Too bad our current leader is a puppet for them. Maybe we should have a non-biased computer distribute wealth evenly, but no one would agree to it.

    Oh well, there is a reason why I am supporting the Pirate Party of Canada, I want to sail the digital seas freely.

  4. Re:3...2...1... Wake up! on iPad Launches, FCC Teardown Leaked · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the kudos, and for not being a grammar nazi. One thing I am noticing online is that everyone is talking about the ipad, which is exactly what Apple wants. They have created THE internet appliance, and some people might just be pissed that it has seemingly been pulled off so well. I personally don't plan on owning one, I had been looking at the HP slate for a while but instead decided any large touch device is currently not suitible for me. Now I have the Motorola Milestone, and it does everything I need it to do, and I can continue to add functionality. Apple is going to fill the niche that the general populace wasn't aware they even needed; a customizable and above all stable mobile experience.

  5. future promise on Game Development In the Heart of Africa · · Score: 1

    This is a refreshingly positive piece of news for me. It leads me to believe that yes, truly anything is possible. If we all just go ahead and do our best, eventually our world will recover from the imminent destruction it is currently facing.

  6. Re:3...2...1... Wake up! on iPad Launches, FCC Teardown Leaked · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I kind of think of believe that Apple has created a streamlined computing device; it is more of a portable window to the information age that you control with your hands directly than anything else.

  7. Re:Times like this on No Social Media In These College Stadiums · · Score: 1

    I'm going to have to agree with Fluffeh on this one.

    What you just said is just like what is happening now in Iran. I can point and laugh at them for having a dictator who refuses to be reasonable, or I can choose to support the civilians who refuse to accept his leadership.

    Here, someone has to put the SEC in its place.

  8. Re:It all becomes clear... on Scientists Learn To Fabricate DNA Evidence · · Score: 1

    Shit, don't scare me like that. If you've thought of it, and I've thought of it, maybe it's already happening. I wish I knew of a way to stop this totalitarian regime from taking over.

    If only the war would be at the front door. Instead, our youth are being brainwashed to be the dumbest yet, so they won't see it coming.

  9. Re:60%? Really? on BIOS "Rootkit" Preloaded In 60% of New Laptops · · Score: 2, Informative

    You'll have to load your laptop into BIOS, it's one of the options listed. I set the option to completely disable it. That doesn't mean that someone could somehow modify code to turn it on, and report it to their site.

  10. To be, or not to be on Apple Says iPhone Jailbreaking Could Hurt Cell Towers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The ability to make anonymous phone calls shouldn't be seen as such an evil.

  11. A Haiku For You, A.I. on Sandia Studies Botnets In 1M OS Digital Petri Dish · · Score: 1
