  1. Sounds fair.... on California Lawmaker Wants 3-D Printers To Be Regulated · · Score: 1

    Can we also get Lawmakers regulated? Nobody with an IQ below 135 is allowed to be a lawmaker, and all lawyers are completely dis-allowed from being ablet o do anything as a lawmaker or judge. and make it RETROACTIVE.

    I'll support his bill if he adds in my provisions.

  2. Re:Repeal OCILLA and Viacom can sue YouTube again on Reps Introduce Bipartisan Bill To Legalize Mobile Device Unlocking · · Score: 1

    I will take that over the abomination that is the rest of the DMCA.
    Same as the PATRIOT act needs to be repealed, I dont care what good is in it, the Evil outweighs the good so badly, that anyone would be happy to trade that.

  3. LIES!!! on The Days of Cheap, Subsidized Phones May Be Numbered · · Score: 1

    " If they do away with the subsidy, you will have to pay full retail price for phones, but your monthly bill will be lower."

    Really? then why is my AT&T bill the same price per month if I buy a phone outright and use it or if I give them $99.00 and get the phone from them?

    AT&T rapes, utterly rapes it's customers. And anyone thinks that that will change is a complete fool.

  4. Re:Peppers can cause treatment resistant pain. on Peppers Seem To Protect Against Parkinson's · · Score: 1

    Ghost peppers and things that are at the 800,000Scollvill units point or higher.. I have had http://www.hotsauceplanet.com/Mad-Dog-38-Special-Pepper-Extract-p/hsp1497md.htm Mad Dog 38 special , it's a Ghost pepper sauce concentrate that is at 2,000,000-3,000,000 units, they do something to you.

    My tolerance for hot stuff is now drastically changed. Daves insanity sauce is like ketchup to me, a nicely spicy ketchup, but I use enough of it on things that make mere mortals just stand there with their mouth open and stare at me as if I am growing a second head.

    And it stays that way. I went 3 weeks without anything hotter than tabasco and my new tolerance has not changed. I can easily eat a tortilla chip with a quarter sized dollup of daves insanity without effort. Yes I still taste the flavors perfectly, and I can tell it's spicy, but it does not cause the searing "ZOMG I AM GOING TO DIE" pain. I am thinking that either it burns out the receptors or it stays there for an extended period of time.

  5. Dear Congress.... on Reps Introduce Bipartisan Bill To Legalize Mobile Device Unlocking · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Simply Repeal the DMCA. Making NEW laws to fix broken ones is not the answer. Start repealing laws that have no use except to force an iron fist around consumers.

    Even someone that is 70 can learn a new programming language and thrive. The only advantage the youngsters have is the ability to adsorb the information faster, they cant learn more, they cant do more.

    Problem is you as an older person will not happily take abuse from management, thus you are less desirable than a young fresh out of college kid that will take epic levels of abuse and not complain.

    It is actually accurate. If you want to gain access to a place you dont belong, dress like a utility worker, most security will not even look at you twice if you have a clipboard.

    When I used to do social engineering I gained access to many server rooms under the guise of a building maintenance guy looking for water leaks, they did not even question me taking photos.

    "But do you really need to use the textbooks for that sort of info"

    Yes I do. Try finding the full and detailed rebuilding documentation for a GM 60 degree V6 including all the technical details on what you do to upgrade the blocks defects to match all the corrections that were put in place by 1995 when they discontinued it.

    How about the superior house building techniques from the 50's and 60's in full detail? (Yes a home designed in the 60's is 800X better than one designed today for a lot of reasons) Only now are we seeing the return of eaves that are designed for location and seasons to take advantage of shading or heat gain in winter. The internet is devoid of any details, yet my brothers old engineering books have intricate detail and the math right there.

    A large amount of real information is not on the internet.

    the 2wire card is probably on a desktop computer hosting the VM ware, she calls it a gateway, and the VM is actually using the hosts network card as a gateway.

    2Wire has only two options for cards.. USB and PCI USB in a laptop is somewhat unlikely as most laptops have wireless built in, so I'm looking at a Desktop with a higher probability.

    Vmware means it's also from a company or someone with money. Otherwise it would have been running under VirtualBox or other free VM.

    There is still a lot of data that can be extracted from that snippet by doing a little research.
