  1. Re:How does it guarantee the data is accurate? on Canon Files For DSLR Iris Registration Patent · · Score: 1

    Most DSLR's that I've run across don't use the LCD for setting up your shot - only viewing it after the fact. Which means you have to use the viewfinder to take the picture. Recently - Sony I think - came out with a DSLR that does use the LCD for preview.

  2. And that's why... on Robot Composed of "Catoms" Can Assume Any Form · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...The best part of being a Super Villian is the Doomsday devices!

  3. Re:Terrible idea on Search Results Based on Your Social Network · · Score: 1

    I have to agree. I use search engines to tap into knowledge/opinions that are outside my sphere of friends. If I want to know what one or more friends thinks about a given topic/product/whatever I'll ask them directly.

    "They spent that money, just not on what everyone though it was for.."

    Man. That is a LOT of hookers and blow.

  5. Personally... on Researchers Reference Flocking Birds to Improve Swarmbots · · Score: 1

    I don't want my robots swarming.

    I want them alone, cold and a little bit afraid. I think it will make it easier to keep them in line.

  6. Re:Einstein on rail guns on World's Most Powerful Rail Gun Delivered to US Navy · · Score: 1

    After WWIII there's a fair chance there will be a lot less (inhabitable at least) world too.

  7. Re:Hmm on How Would You Make a Distributed Office System? · · Score: 1

    Exactly.

    If there is any perception of 'price-gouging' then they are not on your team and need to be fired immediately. Look into the legal costs of cancelling whatever contract you may have with them and do the comparison. If things are as you say -- it's difficult to know the big picture in only a couple of paragraphs -- then your outsourcing partner is looking after their interests and not yours.

    Damn. I swore I'd never do that.
  9. Re:Organise a no-IE protest day! on Users and Web Developers Vent Over IE7 · · Score: 1

    That's great for a personal blog or hobby site, but for a business Web site, it would be tantamount to suicide. A business site must work in as many places as possible - so long as the value is there to support the less common browsers (if a browser only has .03% of the market share or, better still, my site traffic, it's not going to get a lot of love from me come development time). It's a simple business decision.

    You go first.

    "... even MS servers can be secure if they are admined probably..."

    Pretty sure you meant to say "properly" but your version sort of works too...

    And as many of us would agree, an MS server CAN be secured against all attacks. So long as you never plugged it in.
