  1. Re:Or like GE, or like a lot of other corporations on IRS Auditing Google · · Score: 1

    Yeah I thought Google was supposed to be BFFs with the US government, what happened?

    BTW the rich can easily avoid personal taxes by living for over 6 months in a low-tax jurisdiction. So that's a loophole you have to keep in mind.

  2. Re:No Surprise Here on US Copyright Czar Cozied Up To Content Industry · · Score: 2

    From now on I'll keep in mind that any politician's slogan is likely to turn into a punch line.

  3. Re:awol on Swedish Court Finalizes Jail Sentence For Pirate Bay Co-Founder · · Score: 1

    That's what I'd do. Heck I'd say it was Cambodia and the flee from there to some other country. A big one with lots of jungles. With a decent amount of cash it's easy to build a nice big house in the middle of a jungle and live comfortably, I've seen it done (including one guy who has a Lotus Elise at his place, and has to drive it a good kilometer or so over a rocky trail to get it to the nearest sorta-paved road, LOL)

  4. Re:Cambodia on Swedish Court Finalizes Jail Sentence For Pirate Bay Co-Founder · · Score: 1

    Somalia would be a terrible place to flee to. Any government (or corporation, why not) could come and abduct you with a blackhawk (as long as none of the militias manage to shoot them down) and the little government-controlled compound in the capital won't know shit, and even if they did, nobody cares about their little pipsqueak government.

  5. Re:So? on OpenOffice Is Dying (And IBM Won't Help) · · Score: 1

    What's so wrong with the name LibreOffice? I had no idea the name was a problem at all.

    Then again I don't see what's so wrong with GIMP unless you're an immature teenager or the very stodgiest of oldsters.

    There's DHT. Tracker sites are nothing more than a convenience nowadays.

  7. Re:best poison... and internet and rats on Rat Attack Causes Broadband Outage In Scotland · · Score: 1

    It was also interesting to me that the Wikipedia article on rat poison appears to recommend the most widely used *ineffective* rat poison, which also made by a large company..., and lists some stupid problems with the competition.

    Hah you can probably use wikiscanner to trace the edit back to their office.

    I find that a lot of articles on tools have been similarly commercialized (I remember one was about hose clamps and was totally pimping some proprietary hose clamp, even going so far as to use little (TM)s, it was crazy).

    Agreed. Who cares.

  9. Not revolutionary or innovative on Scientists Build Wireless Bicycle Brakes · · Score: 1

    This could have been done for decades, it's just that nobody did because it has no advantages over conventional cable brakes and a shit-ton of safety issues.

  10. Re:Surveilance society anyone? on Australian Malls To Track Shoppers By Their Phones · · Score: 1

    Seems like turning your phone off might be a good idea in general these days. The constant tracking was one thing, but now this? The cons of having your phone on are starting to outweigh the pros IMO.

    If you're lucky enough to live in an area with good data coverage and plenty of unsecured wifi points, a good way to do to this might be to get an account from a SIP provider and set your cell's unreachable forward to go to the SIP number. That way when you turn your cell modem off calls will be forwarded to your SIP account and the phone will still ring. It might then be possible to forward your SIP to your cell phone's voicemail, or just abandon your cellphone's voicemail entirely and use the SIP account's voicemail, or your own voicemail on an asterisk box.

    And if he wants to tie products to culture, I hope he can afford to live without any Chinese manufacturing. No Apple products or cheap Harbor Freight tools, in fact most computers would be off-limits.

    Wow you put your name to that thing no purpose? You failed to differentiate culture from technology.

  13. Ooooohhhhhhh shit LOL on Columbus Blamed For Mini Ice Age · · Score: 1

    A story that colonization by European white men may have cause climate change?

    Whether or not this turns out to be correct, it's gonna whip the denialists into a frenzy!

  14. Re:e-ink tattoos on Looking For E-Ink Applications Beyond Ebook Readers · · Score: 1

    They'd have to know you have one first - not that I'm ruling out the idea that in the future the cops might pull random people aside and shove some subdermal scanner in their face.

    Look at it this way: If you accept this precedent, there might be a warrant out for Obama someday too for all these extrajudicial killings.

  17. Re:I'm newb on Gate One 0.9 Released, Brings SSH To the Web · · Score: 1

    Unless there's a way in JS to open arbitrary network connections (and I don't think there is) it's not possible, since all WebSockets traffic is actually specialized traffic that runs on port 80. JS can only do WebSockets and regular HTTP requests AFAIK.

  18. Re:I'm newb on Gate One 0.9 Released, Brings SSH To the Web · · Score: 1

    Looks like it runs as its own service, like a single-purpose http server. So it's not really pure HTML5 then, it's a service with an HTML5 frontend.

  20. Re:Widely popular? on Looking For E-Ink Applications Beyond Ebook Readers · · Score: 1

    The only problem with the GBC's screen was that unless you had really good lighting (like a flourescent lamp or an addon LED light) the screen looked dark, but there are many good high-color games that look about on par with a 256-color PC game. You might be thinking of the "additional color support" games that worked on the old monochrome Game Boy and also offered a limited palette of colors on the GBC.
