  1. Re:Capitalism 101: on Should Younger Developers Be Paid More? · · Score: 1

    Go to Monster.com or whatever and look for job postings for your company; assuming for whatever reason your company doesn't have internal job postings

  2. Re:Outing criminals is one thing . . . . on Wikileaks To Name Swiss Bank Tax Evaders · · Score: 1

    I have heard about that before, and seeing that it may actually become relevant to me I did a little research. It looks like you can exclude up to $91,400

  3. Re:Ethanol is odorless ... on The Biggest Hoaxes In Wikipedia's First Decade · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Because they got the information from Wikipedia

  4. Re:Why does most spyware goes past norton and Mcra on Trend Micro Chairman Says Open Source Is a Security Risk · · Score: 2

    To be fair those are the big three and anyone writing spyware/viruses is going to have a copy of them and won't release their product until it gets past them

  5. Re:Can't imagine it'll help much on WikiLeaks Gives $15k To Bradley Manning Defense · · Score: 1

    I think its because they want to try and hit him with some bigger charges. It is open and shut on "bringing a flash driving into a secure location" but treason or treason under a different name is a bit harder to prove.

  6. Re:You think they give more... on WikiLeaks Gives $15k To Bradley Manning Defense · · Score: 1

    That's because Israel doesn't have any American spies locked up, if they did I'm sure there would be a trade

  7. Re:Yes, but... on Sony Says PSP2 "As Powerful as PS3" · · Score: 1

    When I was in Hong Kong the ratio was the other way around.

  8. Re:Does it matter? on Sony Says PSP2 "As Powerful as PS3" · · Score: 1

    Yeah for sure, I'm tempted to pick one up with a 360 remote and just leave it permanently plugged into my TV, so it acts like a console.

  9. Re:I hope it re-uses some PS3 code on Sony Says PSP2 "As Powerful as PS3" · · Score: 1

    It was chosen by a fair dice roll, it is guaranteed to be random.

  10. Re:Putting the snideness of the summary aside... on Ars Thinks Google Takes a Step Backwards For Openness · · Score: 1

    If Chrome doesn't have H.264 support doesn't that mean I'll get a little browser popup saying something like "Can't display XYZ need ABC plugin click here to install"

    Doesn't that make this move a moot point? If anything MS can add it to their IE9 adverts "Native H.264 Support"

  11. Nuclear Verne Cannon? on NASA Pitches Heavy Lift Vehicle To Congress · · Score: 1

    Seriously, why not?

    Dig a deep hole in the ground, put a 150kt nuke (the max allowed by the Partial Test Ban Treaty) in it and put a 6,000 TONS of more or less raw materials on top of it, and then push the button.

  12. Re:WTF on Program Uses GPS To Track Sex Offenders · · Score: 1

    Well we could let the general population know whose is a pedophile and the problem will take care of itself rather quickly

  13. Re:Aren't lasers intended to blind "illegal"? on New Laser Makes Pirates Wish They Wore Eye-Patches · · Score: 1

    Actually hollow points aren't banned by Geneva, they were banned by some other treaty. Nazi Germany wasn't a signatory of that treaty and used hollow points. All NATO allies banned from using hollow points.

  14. Re:Abandonware? on Hosting Company Appears To Be Violating the GPL [Resolved] · · Score: 2

    Abandonware is just a justification for piracy, it just means that the (c) owner doesn't care enough to enforce their (c). IIRC X-Com was considered abandonware for a while, but with the rise of nostalgic video games it has been rereleased on just about every digital dist service.

  19. Re:Invented in US? Made in China. on First Pictures of Chinese Stealth Fighter · · Score: 1

    I think he talking more about the written language. Traditional Chinese doesn't offer any clues as to how to pronounce a given word, so you know it or you don't. This system has been replaced by a new system (can't remember the name) which does include how to pronounce the word.

  20. Re:Do fighters still matter? on First Pictures of Chinese Stealth Fighter · · Score: 1

    Well here's a link to the most awesome one. Project Pluto with the deliverable of SLAM (Supersonic Low Altitude Missile) was a 600MW nuclear (unshielded of course) powered ramjet drone. Designed to travel at Mach 3 at below RADAR across the USSR performing drive by nuking of targets and when it ran out of bombs it would just crash itself into a last target leaving that target irradiated from the reactor. The official reason for scrapping the project is that it was "too provocative" there were also a lot of engineering problems as well such as operating within 150 degrees of the auto-ignition point of the reactors base plates. Fun fact the company who helped build the reactor is none other than Coors.

    F-35 is a fighter but it isn't an air superiority aircraft.

    I think Taiwan is more concerned than anyone else.

  24. Re:Invented in US? Made in China. on First Pictures of Chinese Stealth Fighter · · Score: 3, Informative

    Not really, IIRC there are about 6 Soviet/Russian aircraft that look damn near identical to the "loser's" design. The most recent example being Sukhoi PAK FA and the YF-23 (which lost to the f-22)

    I thought that the spammers where beating the CAPTCHA's by iframing them to free pron sites and assuming that whatever they enter is correct. User gets the pron and the spammer gets the CAPTCHA answer.
