  1. Re:Live from Arizona on After DNA Misuse, Researchers Banished From Havasupai Reservation · · Score: 2, Informative

    Oh and the Havasupai don't live in "the deepest part of the Grand Canyon" that would be the Supai Tribe. The Havasupai live on top and is where they charge $75 for the sky walk over the GC.

  2. Live from Arizona on After DNA Misuse, Researchers Banished From Havasupai Reservation · · Score: 4, Informative

    I live not too far from the Havasupai reservation and I have to tell you that these Indians are not playing with a full deck.

    For example, they try to license the air space over the reservation, regardless of the fact that the FAA has told them many times that only the FAA may do that.

    They (the Havasupai's) bend the laws to their own will and then when someone tries to go after them, they hide on their reservation where you can't serve them with any notices and even if you did, they would ignore them.

    Agreed, however, prudence is the price for protection.

  4. Protection on What Can Be Done About Security of Debit Cards? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have a separate account with debit card that stays zero. When I know I'm going to pay a bill online or use for some other purchase, I move just however much I need into that account to cover the purchases or debits. In this way, if some one gets ahold of the number, there isn't a lot they can do with it.

    Also I don't have overdraft protection on that specific account so that again, if someone gets my number(s), there isn't much they can do about it. Sure I may get nailed for a hundred bucks - if they catch it at the right time - otherwise, they just don't get my money.

  5. Good Guys on Delicious Details of Open Source Court Victory · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Sometimes the good guy doesn't finish last.

  6. Trees on Global Deforestation Demoed In Google Earth · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Interestingly, before the white man appeared in North America, there were an average of 8 trees per acre and now there are an average of 220 trees per acre in the US alone.

    Just saying...

  7. Re:You Just Don't Know When to Shut Up, Do You? on Woman Filming Sister's Birthday Party Gets Charged With Felony Movie Piracy · · Score: 4, Funny

    If I were a lawyer my nipples would explode with joy.

    Really?

    Can we watch - I've never seen nipples explode. Do I need to use an include tag?

    And this coming from China, there is no malicious code buried somewhere?

  10. Me thinks on US Wants UK Hacker To Pay To Fix Holes He Exposed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Isn't the McKinnon case more like charging him to buy the lock that had been missing when he walked in?"

    More like they want him to pay for a lock that wasn't there because he was the first one to tell them that the lock wasn't there.

    Or even more obvious, somebody forgot to put in a front door and now the store wants him to pay for a new door because he was the first one to tell the store that they had no door.

  11. Distance Racers on How To Prove Someone Is Female? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I watched the women's 1500m race today and saw not one woman who wasn't flat chested or nearly so.

    I believe (from Mary Decker Slayne) that this is typical of women who train hard and as this young lass is just now 18 it would make sense that her hormonal changes were or are going to happen latter.

  12. Just me. on Microsoft Denies Windows 7 "Showstopper Bug" · · Score: -1, Troll

    Not to bash M$ or anything, but isn't

    Microsoft - truth an oxymoron?

    Oh, where is that tin hat of mine!

    Isn't that like a double oxymoron?

    White House good.

  17. Cite? on Should Copyright of Academic Works Be Abolished? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I was always under the impression that you could, say cite the other work in your work and make comparison's and contrasts to the other work.

    Example: If someone came up with a theory with supporting test results and ten universities duplicated those test results - proving the theory - then those ten universities could publish their results all the while citing the originating test results.

  18. Re:Videogames in 1982? on Tron Legacy Exposed · · Score: 1

    Actually there was a Castle Wolfenstein released in 1981 and then Beyond Castle Wolfenstein in 1984 - if memory serves me right.

    And yes, they were 2d.

  19. 1982 on Tron Legacy Exposed · · Score: 2, Informative

    Had lots of Atari games in 1982 - like Asteroids.

    Wow, those were the days.

    Before that, like in the late 70's we had Pong, which I could play for hours - depleting my entire savings of quarters.

    I wonder how I could adapt this to conversations my wife has with me, since she reminds me of stuff I said 20 odd years ago?

    With all those "savings" are we going to see a decrease in the cost of postage?

    Oh wait...

  23. HUH? on Sperm Travels Faster Toward Attractive Females · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If she was not attractive, why would he even be in there? Unless of course it is right after the bars close.

    Oh wait . . .

    Bars = alcohol
    alcohol = drunk

    Now I've got it.

  24. Boys and Girls on Chinese "Web Addicts" Get Boot Camp, Therapy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    World of Warcraft and Counter-Strike... those that hook the most patients (boys)

    Online chat programs more often hook girls

    Why am I not surprised that the girls like to talk and the boys like to play combat (remember cowboys and indians? cops and robbers?).

    Very indicative of our society as a whole. Just sayin' . . .

  25. Obscene on Video Games, the First Amendment, and Obscenity · · Score: 3, Informative

    I can't remember off the top of my head what the case cite is, but the SCOTUS decided that each local has the choice of deciding for its self what is obscene and what is not.

    For example, what might be obscene in Kentucky may be par for the course in California and so on.
