  1. Re:It astounds me on Traffic-Flow Algorithm Can Reduce Fuel Consumption · · Score: 1

    Also you could say that you live in Cape May Courthouse, NJ. The Garden State Parkway has 3 lighted intersections on this section of the freeway.

  2. Re:Coping with Afrin addiction on Doctors Seeing a Rise In "Google-itis" · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the tip. I never thought of doing it that way before.

  3. Re:It's because FOSS is no longer the biggest fear on Microsoft .Net Libraries Not Acting "Open Source" · · Score: 1

    Comprehension error!
    The GP said Apple and Google were threats to Microsoft not Open Source.

  4. Re:Count the misses, not just the hits. on BlackBerry Predicted a Century Ago By Nikola Tesla · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well GPS is receive only, and SatPhones are huge.

  5. Re:My personal favorite on Top 10 Things Hollywood Thinks Computers Can Do · · Score: 1

    Except for Joshua cracking the launch codes. You can't crack the code by cracking each individual letter separately.

  6. Re:The donor? on The World's First Full Face Transplant · · Score: 1

    It was on an episode of Gray's Anatomy.

  7. Re:Please let me use the same password on Please Do Not Change Your Password · · Score: 1

    This type of system is not safe, as they are storing unhashed versions of you password to check against. If they were storing the hashed version as they should be, the gp's method would work.

  8. Re:You're Kidding on Lessons In Hardware / OS Troubleshooting · · Score: 1

    My first thought is why did he not try using a DVD to install as that is the supported method for the install. I would have thought that for anything other than a netbook this would be the next step, not replacing the motherboard.

  9. Re:Payroll cop fubar on Dirty Duty On the Front Lines of IT · · Score: 1

    If he woke up dead, why did you need to replace him. I head zombies work cheap.

  10. Re:Use a MAC address filter on A New Wi-Fi Exploit, Limited But Clever · · Score: 1

    Really? I don't think anybody else would choose "Linksys" as an SSID, would they?

    Maybe if they had a D-Link router they might.

  11. Re:How many microprocessors was that again? on NHTSA Has No Software Engineers To Analyze Toyota · · Score: 1

    There's a bug in the implementation, however. The microprocessor doesn't take the brake-pedal switch as input, it takes the return path from one of the rear brake lights. If you have a burnt out brake light, you can't shift out of 'Park'... But I digress...

    Actually that is not a bug, its a feature. It lets you know you have a burnt out bulb

  12. Re:Kindle variant could discriminate less then boo on US DOJ Says Kindle In Classroom Hurts Blind Students · · Score: 1

    This would be my solution to this problem as well. Everyone is talking about text-to-speech,when the data is already in a form that could be sent to Braille display.

  13. Re:Microsoft has a point on Microsoft Urges Windows Users To Shun Safari · · Score: 1

    You do realize that iTunes uses QuickTime for its engine. It's easier to make QuickTime a requirement instead of building the functionality directly into iTunes.

    What I was upset with is when Apple tried to force iTunes on me when I only wanted QuickTime.

  14. Re:Bioweaponry on A Virus that Attacks Brain Cancer · · Score: 1

    You are of course assuming that the leaders of these nations have any brains to infect to begin with. Or maybe someone has already let it loose in US.

  15. 15% efficiency on New Solar Cell Harvests Hydrogen From Water · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I thought that current solar cells have efficiencies of up to 40%. So how is this better?

  16. Re:Stupid Answer Re:Simple Answer on Will The Next Generation of Spacecraft Land In the Water? · · Score: 1

    Yes the delta IV can launch a lot, but none of the hardware is man rated. To qualify all of the hardware would take just as long as the current process. Much of the hardware that is being used on Ares is derived from man rated hardware.

  17. Re:Bad Summary? on Will The Next Generation of Spacecraft Land In the Water? · · Score: 1

    The airbags are needed for landing on land not on water. This is where the problem lies.
    The solution should be to have a no airbag model for moon missions and an airbag equipped model for IIS missions.
