    This will not effect any users at all. As for affecting them, we'll see the news on slashdot.

    When has is EVER been easy to fly with an acoustic guitar? You can't put it in the overhead and checking it is a guaranteed way to have some dipshit bag handler "inspect" it.

    Surely you can't be serious?

  9. Re:Touch typing defense on How To Steal ATM PINs With a Thermal Camera · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I knew there was a reason that I rested all of my fingers uniformly across the keypad, gently caressing their every ridge and facet as I discreetly pumped out my digits into their PIN pad.

    Do you do so while wearing a robe and wizard hat?

    Anywhere except Michele Bachmann's eyes.

  11. Re:Of course, it has nothing to do... on Technology Blamed For Helping UK Rioters · · Score: 1
    The UK youth unemployment rate is over 20%.

    Not to mention the UK, similar to the US, has redefined "unemployment" numerous times to make the number appear lower than it really is. I believe 7.7% about as much as I believe technology caused the riots.

    In July 2010 corn was ~165 US dollars per metric ton. It's over 300 currently.

    It's not just corn that higher now either. ALL commodities are skyrocketing while the value of the dollar is plummeting.

  14. Re:kit costs $150 on Monitor Household Energy From Your Smartphone · · Score: 1

    $1000 says you couldn't make it a full week in a Northeast Texas home this week with just the windows open. My sister said it was well over 100 degrees at 9:00 last night in Dallas. The heat index is near 120 degrees in Houston at 5:30. Opening the windows gives you maybe 10 degrees of cooling in the average shitty US home. Couple that with most people not knowing how to manage airflow through the home with window openings and most homes are probably worse off with open windows.

  17. Re:Inefficient on Use Your Car To Power Your House · · Score: 1

    It seems odd to consider this as a reliable temporary power source as it would only be 100% operational if your car was home and fully charged when the power went out. How many Japanese people were home with fully charged cars when the tsunami/quake hit?

  19. Re:Could Someone Help Me Out With This? on Debt Deal Reached · · Score: 1

    If the SS tax did not exist, the vast majority of employers would pocket the difference and not give a 6.2% raise to all employees.

    [citation needed] As an honest business owner, any amount of money I'm paying to employ someone would go to that person. It makes no impact on my bottom line to send that 6.2% to the employee and it would make them happier. Win/win in my book.

    It's all highly hypothetical anyways, so we might as well be arguing with our dogs.

  20. Re:Ponzi Scheme on Debt Deal Reached · · Score: 1

    In a Ponzi scheme, payments are made solely through new investor's money.

    So pretty much exactly like Social Security then. Payments to the current investors will be funded entirely through new "investors"...

  21. Re:Could Someone Help Me Out With This? on Debt Deal Reached · · Score: 2, Informative

    Second, 30% of your check isn't collected to guarantee a pension - 4.2% of it is. The rest of it is collected to fund local, state, federal governments and medicare.

    While the previous posted was exaggerating quite a bit, saying it's 4.2% is wrong on a MUCH worse level. FYI, your employer pays 6.2% ON TOP of the 4.2% you see removed from your check. One of the MANY little ways the gov. hides how much tax you REALLY pay.
