  1. My 6 Cents worth on Making a Child Locating System · · Score: 1

    Having two daughters my self - the last one graduating from HS this Friday, I understand the OP's concern, especially if the child is still in Grade School. The Cell phone with GPS is your best bet, unless the school is banning cell phones (which my daughter's school tried to do). Another option is car pooling where a parent picks up several kids at once and then the next parent the next day - etc. Put your tin foil hat away, or your daughter will begin to see boogey men around every corner.

  2. HMMMM . . . on Allegedly Rigged Product Demo In SAP Suit Goes Missing · · Score: 1

    Do you suppose Waste Management is going to try and "trash" SAP?

  3. My Take on Nesson & Camara Increase Attack Against RIAA · · Score: 0, Redundant

    It is my hope that they just flat out kick the RIAA's collective butts from Main to Cali.

  4. Remember? on Hard Drive With Clinton-Era Data Missing From Nat'l Archives · · Score: 1, Funny

    When 4 mg of ram was screamin?

  5. Can I? Huh? Can I? on Robot Warriors Will Get a Guide To Ethics · · Score: -1, Redundant

    IF they look like Seven of Nine, can I take one home with me and reprogram it?

  6. More Flag Waving on Cory Doctorow Draws the Line On Net Neutrality · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not sure what kind of flag he's talking about, but I'm thinking a red one?

  7. VIRUS on Microsoft Patents the Crippling of Operating Systems · · Score: 1

    So if you create a virus that stops the functionality of your OS, is M$ gonna sue you for patent infringement?

  8. Thanks on A History of 3D Cards From Voodoo To GeForce · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Personally, I found the article quite nice - it was a nice trip.

  9. Hmmm . . . . on Google Tricycles To Map Footpaths For Street View · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Do they (Google) actually pay you to do that?

  10. Me Thinks . . . on Craigslist Fires Back Over Adult Services Accusations · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sounds like somebody is setting himself up for a run at the Governor's Manson.

  11. Question . . . on A System For Handling 'Impostor' Complaints · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Wouldn't it be better just to take the page down and worry about hurt feelings later?

    I would think that even if there was the possibility that a page was not right, that either someone could comment on it or it just be taken down.

  12. I know where . . . on Hosting a Highly Inflammatory Document? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Wikileaks dude

  13. If this tape is real . . . on YouTube Video Sends Guatemala Into Crisis · · Score: 1, Informative

    It could mean some serious doo-doo for el presidente.

  14. Kudos on How Google's High Speed Book Scanner De-Warps Pages · · Score: -1

    Congrats to Google.

  15. If it works . . . on Phoenix BIOSOS? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It works.

    And if it works, it might be a good thing.

  16. I am lost here . . . on Apple Hires Former OLPC Security Director · · Score: -1, Troll

    Pray tell the relevance of this article? Or is /. finally going the way of the three head snake or the four footed baby, or my-mother-is-an-alien ala rag magazines?

  17. Wait on For Building DIY Droids, It Helps to Live In Japan · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'll wait until they come up with replicators, then I'll worry.

    On the other hand, were they to come up with a full sized Number 6, I might have to run right out and get one.

  18. So . . . on WHO Investigates Claims That Swine Flu Resulted From Human Error · · Score: 0

    The people who make Tamiflu released a virus into the wild so people would take Tamiflu . . . some marketing guy/gal just made retirement.

  19. Re:Geeksquad.Gov on 3,800 Vulnerabilities Detected In FAA's Web Apps · · Score: 4, Funny

    We'll get Chuck from the Nerd Herd and he can "flash" 'em.

  20. Lying to Congress on RIAA Filed 62 New Cases In April Alone · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Lying to congress is just the new sport - remember when the tobacco companies said smoking was "good" for your health and that they swore to congress that they've never put anything into the tobacco that would cause people to become addicted?

    Lying to congress - Congress can't handle the truth.

  21. Funny on Warner Music Forces Lessig Presentation Offline · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I laughed so hard at this post that I almost threw up.

  22. Ok? on Scientists Build World's Fastest Camera · · Score: 0, Troll

    So what moves at 6 million images a second that you would need a camera that can take 6 million images a second?

    Perhaps I missed something here.

  23. Gambling on Minnesota Latest To Try To Block Gambling Sites · · Score: 5, Insightful

    We gamble every time we buy stock, how is this any different than on a poker table. Somehow, I don't see the "fairness" in this. Personally, I think the odds are better at Black Jack than on Enron.

    And what about those sites that lets us play with "chip count" verses real money - are they going to be banned as well?

  24. Question on Apple May Bring a Non-iPhone To Verizon Wireless · · Score: 1, Insightful

    T&T's contract with Apple, which has not been made public, is believed to cover all models of the iPhone, but only the iPhone.

    I don't mean to be nit-pickey, but somehow, the meaning got lost in the translation.

  25. Question on Crowd-Source Translation Software For Free Content? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Are they your lectures and who owns the copyright on the lectures? Does the university or do you? Since your work product was for hire . . .
