  1. Re:AZ isn't anti-immigrant on LulzSec Posts First Secret Document Dump · · Score: 1
    The key phrase is, "where reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien." This does not mean the Police will be asking everyone who 'looks kinda Mexican' for papers... Behavior and body language will provide probable cause. Illegals get really scared at the prospect of getting caught, whereas a legal immigrant has nothing to fear.

    We have a serious illegal immigration problem in this country and if we don't have the ability to even check someones immigration status, we'll never be able to fight it.

  2. Re:What's with these specs? on Wii U Faster Than 360 Or PS3, No Blu-ray Or DVD Support · · Score: 1

    Slow clap.

  3. I've been programming for over 20 years... on Book Review: The Clean Coder · · Score: 1

    The last thing 'coders' need is another book telling them exactly what practices they should be following. As with most things, the focus should always be on creating a working product first. After you've built something, then you can refine it and clean it up. Too often when the focus is on how it is to be completed instead of actually completing it, the latter never happens. Re-factoring is a much easier task when you already have it working, already know exactly what it should do and when, and have experience using it which helps break it down more intelligently.

  4. Re:Don't bother with the video on 'Jetman' Rossy Flies Above the Grand Canyon · · Score: 1

    I was going to say on a more general level, why is it that 2 days after I read about something it appears on Slashdot?

  5. Re:This seems ridiculous on FCC Giving Away Wi-fi Routers For Broadband Tests · · Score: 1
    Just depends how many levels you want to take it. The FCC could require them, via legislation, right?

    Do you trust the ISP to identify these routers very quickly, either by traffic analysis or MAC address, and provide a special Quality of Service just for them?

  6. This seems ridiculous on FCC Giving Away Wi-fi Routers For Broadband Tests · · Score: 1

    Why wouldn't it be the ISP collecting these statistics (as part of end-to-end monitoring and customer support reduction), and the FCC perhaps requiring that they be given a copy to stay aware of and create these regulations from?

  7. Re:Sorry, but my New Year's resolution... on Motorola's Sholes Bootloader Unlocked · · Score: 1

  8. Re:Watson wasn't exactly conversing with humans on Talking To Computers? · · Score: 2

    Oh no... Someone is WRONG on the internet! Watson received the answers via text file, he did not hear Trebek or visually see the answers.

  9. Re:Had time? on Compiling the WikiLeaks Fallout · · Score: 1

    Nor are ~250 being released of 250,000 enough to digest all of them... /eyeroll at this summary.

  10. Re:Welcome to Sweden on Pirate Bay Trio Lose Appeal · · Score: 1

    +9000, Well said and I couldn't agree more.

  11. Re:Too scared to say that the iPad sux, I guess .. on Throwing Out Software That Works · · Score: 1

    A 17" laptop is not a "competing" device to an iPad. I was referring to the mythical 'android tablet.' There are no real competitors for the 'slate' category right now. I trash-talked the iPad too, before I used one.

  12. Re:Too scared to say that the iPad sux, I guess .. on Throwing Out Software That Works · · Score: 0, Redundant

    There isn't one competing device on the market that delivers the user experience that an iPad brings to the table. You must not have used one.

    +1, thanks for the story.

  14. Re:intelligence doesn't matter, communication does on Empathy Is For the Birds · · Score: 1

    +1 for this brilliant post.

  16. Re:In other words. on Researchers Create Social Engineering IRC Bot · · Score: 1

    Damn, Now I don't feel special anymore.

  17. Re:Religion on The "Scientific Impotence" Excuse · · Score: 1

    My lack of 100% confidence in science has nothing to do with religion (as I don't believe in ANY religion at all.) It's just realism. There are certain things that have too many variables for us to be 100% sure of. Climate change and some pharmacological studies are two prime examples. Decisions have changed over the years when new studies, new evidence, new methodologies, or new variables are determined. You can't blindly follow science either, though the great majority of it is correct.

    I am the above poster and I meant 'almost two years ago'.

  21. Re:Perhaps nobody else cares? on HDTV Has Ruined the LCD Market · · Score: 1

    I use a 40" Samsung Series 6 HDTV as my monitor (almost $1800 two years ago), sitting about 2 feet from the screen. It's only 1920x1080, but I have no complaints.

  22. Re:I can already see them working at it on Treasury Goes High-Tech With Redesigned $100 Bills · · Score: 1

    People paying with checks and using a lot of coins are going to slow things down, this is obvious. You're wrong about counting bills though, it is way faster in most cases than credit card transactions. I think Visa commercials have rotted your brain.

  23. Re:Corrections regarding F# on "Midori" Concepts Materialize In .NET · · Score: 1

    Great post... no mod points. I looked into F# for a work project and was very interested in learning it, just haven't found the time.

  24. Re:No iPad for me on Here Come the Linux iPad Clones · · Score: 1

    Do you have any links to available devices that have more features and lower prices? I'm just asking because this thread about Ipad Clones is amazingly lacking in references to actual products that people are choosing instead.
