    FTFA:

    It would be stupid to commit a crime.

    As opposed to all the geniuses robbing 7-11s now.

    You have to have been married less than 5 years. I would almost put money on it.

    I have no doubt that this invariably means something.

    Hmmmmm..... I wonder how they got the nickname "rabbit ears" in the first place?

  5. Not rabbit ears on Rabbit Ears To Stage a Comeback Thanks To DTV · · Score: 5, Informative

    Rabbit ears don't pick up UHF signals; they are for VHF which is going away. It's the "loop" part of current antennas which will receive UHF.

  6. Meaningless on How Do You Stay Upbeat Amidst the Idiocy? · · Score: 1

    "A wonderful summary?" To me it just looks like a bunch of psychobabble that is totally meaningless. It was said in a more comprehensible and concise manner by the song "Don't Worry; Be Happy." It reminds me of my boss's favorite saying (and the favorite of many, I gather): "It is what it is." WTF is that supposed to mean?

  7. Re:I don't understand on Oops! Missed One Fix — Windows Attacks Under Way · · Score: 5, Informative

    It has to trick the user into opening a Word 97 file with Wordpad, which can be done by changing the extension of the file to .wri. So as long as you don't open any attachments to bogus email, you'll be OK. This information is in the article, BTW.

  8. I certainly hope on Message In a Bottle Turns Up 39 Years Later · · Score: 2, Funny

    that the Police were notified.

  9. Re:What a tool... on Groklaw Summarizes the Lori Drew Verdict · · Score: 1

    Actually it doesn't work that way, at least in the U.S. Civil suits are generally dischargable in bankruptcy, so that under no circumstances would she be paying "whatever she makes for the rest of her life." In practice, it is often very difficult to collect judgments in civil suits, especially when the defendant is not wealthy.

    Tell it to OJ.

  13. Re:You wonder? on Citizens Spy On Big Brother · · Score: 1

    I was crossing the border into Canada in Buffalo about 15 years ago and my buddy had his camcorder on. The Canadian border guard (or whatever they are called) politely asked him to turn it off. Nowadays, who knows.

  14. Re:Tried to RTFA on Claimed Proof of Riemann Hypothesis · · Score: 1

    Since Pi has an infinite number of digits, any message you want will have to be in there somewhere. That is, unless I am getting my Alephs confused.

    Sorry, that should have been "unstable."

  21. Re:DON'T BLAME OTHERS for your own acts on Politicians and the Cyber-Bully Pulpit · · Score: 1

    I live a couple of miles from where this happened, and it was a really big deal, but most people weren't screaming for new laws; most people's first reaction feelings wise was to get vigilante justice on the woman who did this (of which a little happened, but nothing severe). As far as a 13 year old being "wise", don't be stupid. She was emotionally stable and on medication. If anything, her parents should have been more involved in what she was doing. I can't really see how they couldn't have noticed anything. Parents, talk to your kids!
