  1. Re:Perfect for traffic - let's make it mandatory? on Digital Dashboard Device Detects Driver Drowsiness · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this thing will detect the eyes of a drunk driver as someone who is too sleepy?

    Doesn't matter, neither of them should be driving. Even though sleepiness is not considered illegal.
    Maybe after a few warnings in a row the system should turn the engine off and apply breaks... gently.
    (mmm.. on a second thought, maybe reduce speed to a max of 5-10 mph... on a third... ok, maybe that's not a good idea while on the highway, but, isn't a slow drunk/sleepy driver preferred over a fast one? )

    Netiquette!!, Netiquette!!

    No one else remember those days when Netiquette didn't allow you to respond just to correct spelling or grammar? Unless it was obviously misleading.

    The Internet, and /. is full of people from different origins, and not everyone has English as their mother language. The forum, the discussion should be the issue, not spelling or grammar. Why deviate attention to the topic over bad English language knowledge or simply lousy typing?

    (written by a Chilean, who types lousy and who's native language is Spanish)

  4. Re:hunter2 on Survey Shows How Stupid People Are With Passwords · · Score: 1

    iPhones convert passwords to dots as you type them, but show the last character you typed as an actual character for about three seconds or until you type the next character.

    So does every phone I ever had, from Siemens to Blackberry to Nokia... I have no idea what the GP is talking about. Maybe a bootleg Chinese model?

    It isn't an Apple product.

    I'm posting from Chrome... should I report a bug if I do not get first post due to latency?

  9. Re:Apple? on How 6 Memorable Tech Companies Got Their Names · · Score: 1

    It is just me? after reading TFA I still don't know how Apple got its name.

    Best, and stupid, explanation: it just occurred to Jobs. It could have been Pear computer, or Orange computer, or any other fruit, vegetable,... bah..... the most boring article ever!

    hahaha...
    Although English is not mi mother tongue, that is definitely a mistake I won't consciously make. On my defense, I can only say: "finger error".

  17. Re:Don't sit down = Immortality on Sit Longer, Die Sooner · · Score: 1

    The funny thing is that it is spelled correctly later on the same paragraph.

    Well, when in doubt, (and to lazy to look it up) that way you get a 50/50 chance. :-)

  20. Re:Er, huh? on The Hidden Security Risk of Geotags · · Score: 1

    I originally agree with you, but after a little research, I realized that the coordinates in the EXIF corresponds to the last GPS coordinates obtained so, even if you are taking pictures inside your house, your current location is still there (unless you travel - and enter- your house from the underground).

  21. Irrelevant!!! on The Hidden Security Risk of Geotags · · Score: 1

    Come on. "These are pictures form Italy, that I took on april 1st, with mi new friends that work for the CIA... bla bla"

    I think that there is even more info to dig form the comments of posted photos than form the EXIF info.
    There is the security risk. Geotags are completely irrelevant in this context.

  22. Re:Let's have Fair Flying on The Fuel Cost of Obesity · · Score: 1

    If you don't want to pay extra, then your luggage should be lighter, and that would make a difference on the total weight of the plane.

    or maybe not, as airlines will use this spare to accept more cargo on each flight.
