  1. Re:Done. on Last Day To Tell Google To Forget You · · Score: 0

    Most of my searches fall into the category of:
    - car midget porn questions
    - obscure linux midget porn
    - guitar related midget porn

    FTFY.

    You know, ofc, I did this just to be an ass....but now that I read it, "obscure linux midget porn" is actually funny as fuck.

  2. Re:PC: the fourth console on Xbox 360 Game Patching Costs $40,000 · · Score: 1

    I have had that same thought about a Valve console. All I can figure is that they just think that there isn't any money in hardware...and that it would be too hard to break into the market.

    They are doing pretty well...hard to argue with success. I just worry that PC gaming is ultimately on the way out (hope I am wrong).

  3. Re:Wow on U.S. Navy Receives First Industry Built Railgun Prototype · · Score: 1

    Well, at that muzzle velocity I am pretty sure that to aim accurately at a mobile target, at least any target that moves at seagoing speeds, that you aim directly at it.

    The tech that allows the missles to hit their targets is probably far more complicated than the tech needed to get a railgun to hit it's targets.

  5. Re:Waiting for my favorite reviewer on See the Tesla S at the Detroit International Auto Show (Video) · · Score: 2

    Yes, great comment. Let's wait until Clarkson and company do another hatchet job on it because they don't like electric cars...or American cars.....why Tesla even loaned them cars to review is beyond me.

    Top Gear is a great show, very entertaining. A LOT of people (and I am not saying either one of you are one of these people) do not realize that it is pretty much completely staged. Outside of the stig's track times...and the star in a reasonably priced car....you have to take anything on that show with a grain of salt.

  6. Re:On the fence on Diablo 3 Coming To Consoles · · Score: 1

    It will be free to play, Valve makes a killing off the in game store in TF2....and the items you will probably be able to get in the game store for D3 will probably be more helpful than anything you can get in the Mann Co. store.is.

  7. Re:How Not to be Seen on Leaked Memo Says Apple Provides Backdoor To Governments · · Score: 2, Informative

    that was always my thought....maybe the NSA can decode a file encrypted with a good pgp key.....maybe they can't.....but there are easier ways to get whats in it anyway.

    The Daily Show treatment of this was titled something along the lines of 'Why the fuck did Martha Stewart go to jail?'.

    absolutely not an authority on this. Just repeating some answers that were already in the thread when you posted.

    1.How can we as users detect if our phones are running this software?

    http://androidsecuritytest.com/features/logs-and-services/loggers/carrieriq/ [androidsecuritytest.com] The bottom of this page has a section about detection including an app to detect hidden UIs. (posted by rootkit above)

    2.Does a completely custom rom negate this? (cyanogen, etc)

    Yes, several people have posted that they do. Cyanogen was specifically mentioned.

    3.Is it possible to remove or deactivate it on a rooted phone with stock rom?

    I doubt it on removal, it has been posted that you can opt out on several phones.

    Not saying this is the case for the GP....but I know lots of parents who would laugh at you for saying that and then say "Hell no I don't trust him". Some of us had to be taught the consequences of doing wrong.

    http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/05/16/110516fa_fact_gladwell Good article about this. I don't think "stole" is a fitting word. Recognized that it was a revolutionary idea, improved upon it, and made it available to everyone. Xerox didn't know what they had and wasn't going to do anything with it.

    I had a Del Sol that I could get up to around 115-120. It was completely stock. It was scary as fuck at that speed....but it could get up there with a long enough stretch.

    I loved that damn car....and so did the person that stole it...got what pretty much was just a frame back.

    I loved the boat and car part of HL2 also.

    I don't really play shooters single player anymore...but I can't stand the multiplayer in CoD. So many people like it that I guess maybe it's just me....but there is rarely any sense of distance, it's just running around in mostly cramped maps going full auto on any target you see. Full disclosure....I was downright awful at CoD multiplayer. I played it on the PC, I never heard that there were any problems with the PC version compared to the console. I would never play a shooter on a console anyway.

    Had a drive die and got the blue screen the other day in windows 7. First one I've seen in windows 7, but I don't mess with hardware nearly as much as I used to. I've never seen a non-boot drive go bad and cause a machine so much grief.

    But, you are right, it doesn't happen that much anymore...and it almost never hangs on it when it does.

    Even more ridiculous....the English came up with the word soccer. It was a play on "association" in "association football". When the game came over here, we already had American football, so we used the other word they had for it.

    Not ridiculous...did anyone else watch that US women's world cup match today? What I am about to say is shocking...

    It was as exciting a sporting event as I have ever watched. Seriously.

    Too bad we spend so much money on wars that don't make us any safer that we can't afford science. I am so utterly disappointed in Obama...I didn't fall for any of that "change the world" stuff, but I honestly thought he would be better than this. I can't remember who said it, but this isn't my quote, 'As a President, Barack Obama makes a great Senator'.
