  1. Re:... and AMD wouldn't even touch the info on AMD Employee Charged With Stealing Intel Secrets · · Score: 1

    Said person could possibly suggest things familiar to Intel, marking them as his own.

  3. Re:This is how interrogation should work on Indian Woman Convicted of Murder By Brain Scan · · Score: 1

    Anything can trigger thoughts, but different parts of your brain react in different ways to things. If someone were to poke you with a needle, a part of your brain would light up in a way that is different from what showing you an image would do. Those of memories from experience and sight are indeed more often different from eachother. Therefore memories experienced such as those you would have from stabbing someone(which would usually include the force you had to put into it, the tension, any reactions you were having at the time) would light up the brain in a much more discernable manner than that of someone having just seen a movie or heard a scenario.

    Sharma, 24, agreed to take a BEOS test in Mumbai, the capital of Maharashtra. (Suspects may be tested only with their consent, but forensic investigators say many agree because they assume it will spare them an aggressive police interrogation.)

    Could be wrong. Maybe she was forced to agree. Then again maybe she really did agree to it. That of which would mean they gave her a choice to do this.

  5. Poking mud with sticks. on James Powderly of Graffiti Research Labs Detained In China · · Score: 2

    I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but here's my shot on it. He went to another country to speak out against something that everyone knows is happening, and just as well everyone is rather passive about. You can have millions of people in a movement, and the majority of 'activists' could be doing nothing. However rather than doing like others and saying 'yeah I support this, I'm pro-tibet', instead of sitting around he went to China to one of the most publicized events to do something he probably knew was a risk. When you do graffiti, you know very well the risks you take before the first spray of paint or the first flash of light. It's nothing new, they just have a different take on it.

    Now pointing lasers in peoples' direction is a awfully rude thing to do. It is often detrimental to others' physical health, and is also plainly inpolite. What they do is take light and show it off on walls, usually office building where there aren't people working late in the evening, and display shows of light on the sides with artificial graffiti. Perhaps going there and showing off was just a retarded move, a wave in the air and nothing more. Perhaps at sacrifice of themselves it'll get the attention of more people, perhaps not.

    Either way, all I know is I'm rather bitter about it. I look up to this guy.

    'None of us is as dumb as all of us.' So they've said. It's not an organization, a gang, or a cult; What appears to be a kid kicking down a telephone booth in one place is not the same as the programmer that's trying to take sensitive documents from the Co$ server, nor the same as the guy stuffing yeast bunnies in a Co$ toilet somewhere. Where one 'anonymous' fronts something, it's not a hivemind and everyone doesn't think the same way.

  7. Re:If the last mile matters on Flexible Optic Fiber Promises Cheaper Last Mile · · Score: 1

    Given that most locations still need a lot more work for faster connections, be it physical or wireless, it does indeed look like wireless is the quick-and-somewhat-painless alternative to not having to install cabling. Though by a constant gamer's standards, wireless isn't as reliable as cabling, even though it's nice for the whole pop and go, check your e-mail, see who's in the game, kind of thing. The reliability issues don't come up often and can be resumed fairly quick, but they do come up more than a physical connection does. If and when the issue of reliability is fixed, there is also another issue in that even when locked and encrypted, wireless connections are a whole lot easier to detect, intercept, and distort.
