  1. Re:Broadcast test on Full-Duplex Radio Integrated Circuit Could Double Radio Frequency Data Capacity · · Score: 2

    You should have posted a reply in your own post.

  2. Re:Moving Infected People on Gates: Large Epidemics Need a More Agile Response · · Score: 2

    So when they're found in an airport, they should be quarantined there instead of going to, like, a hospital or whatever? Are you going to quarantine an entire flight of people at once in an airport?

  3. Re:Not just for government. on White House Proposal Urges All Federal Websites To Adopt HTTPS · · Score: 1

    It should really be law that all sites on the internet move to SSL.

    Yeah! Why won't the government finally get on our backs!

  4. Re:WTF? on Judicial Committee Approves FBI Plan To Expand Hacking Powers · · Score: 1

    Can a judge in the US give a warrant to search a car in Finland that doesn't belong to a US citizen? No? Then how is this different?

  5. Re:Tell me UXO search was done by air... on Laser Imaging Drone To Hunt Out Unexploded Bombs In War-Torn Nations · · Score: 1

    Then you'll be pleased to learn that you won't be the one inspecting potential UXO, and instead they will use EOD personnel or specialized robots.

  6. Re:yes to real keyboards on BlackBerry's Latest Experiment: a $2,300 'Secure' Tablet · · Score: 2

    They're called laptops.

  7. Re:Russian or Asian on GSM/GPS Tracking Device Found On Activist's Car At Circumvention Tech Festival · · Score: 2, Informative

    The U.S. has devices like this, believe it or not. They're simple, effective, modular, fixable, etc. Tactical units love 'em. My first guess is they're from some U.S. unit.

  8. Sounds cool on New Paint Based On Titanium Nanoparticles Creates Self-Cleaning Surfaces · · Score: 4, Funny

    Can't wait to spray my kitchen counter-tops with this difficult to pronounce but presumably safe material!

  9. Re:Obligatory on Robocops Being Used As Traffic Police In Democratic Republic of Congo · · Score: 2

    I'd buy that for a dollar!

  10. Just Starship Troopers? on 'The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress' Coming To the Big Screen · · Score: 0

    There was also Starship Troopers 2, Starship Troopers 3, and Starship Troopers: Invasion. Of those, I only watched Invasion (all CGI). It was OK, which made it way better than the 1997 one. The others frankly look even worse. Anyway, I have high hopes and low expectations with Uprising.

  11. Re:As the majority pointed out on Supreme Court Gives Tacit Approval To Warrantless DNA Collection · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I don't like warrantless wiretapping and such more than anyone else here, but how are they supposed to serve a warrant when they want to collect DNA? The police find some DNA, then magically figure out who's it is, serve them a warrant, then collect it after it's decomposed/lost/compromised? I realize sometimes you know who the donor was, but you can't make the police serve a warrant before all DNA is collected.

  12. Re:Yes, I agree on Why We Should Stop Hiding File-Name Extensions · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's a terrible name though. Typical conversation at work:

    Me: Hey, did you save that in My Places?
    Them: No, I logged you out. I saved it on my profile.
    Me: I know. Did you save it to your My Places, or somewhere else?
    Them: Oh yeah, I saved it on my desktop.

  13. Re:*sighs* on AVG Announces Invisibility Glasses · · Score: 1

    I don't know if this the joke and I just missed it, but there are already signs in banks that say to remove helmets and sunglasses so that video cameras can get a good view. Have been for years.

  14. Re:Reversable Veto? on Obama Vetoes Keystone XL Pipeline Bill · · Score: 1

    If I'm not mistaken, Congress can override the veto with a 2/3rds majority. It's all part of the checks and balances we supposedly have.

  15. Re:Prone to violence? on Police Use DNA To Generate a Suspect's Face · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I think the point is if they take a suspect's DNA and show that he's prone to violence, and use that as evidence he committed the crime, rather than taking DNA from a violent crime scene.

  16. Re:how did this make it to the frontpage,... on How One Developer Got the Internet To Watch People Code · · Score: 1

    Now if they were 3D printing something, or maybe using bitcoin, THAT would be a story!

  17. Re:More of this ridiculous on Pakistanis Must Provide Fingerprints Or Give Up Cellphone · · Score: 1

    They already switch out often to avoid surveillance. And keeping up to date with everyone's contact info is difficult but they seem to manage.

  18. Re:Seems pointless to sue on Lenovo Hit With Lawsuit Over Superfish Adware · · Score: 2

    Well, with that attitude nothing will ever get accomplished.

  19. Re:even more interesting on NSA, GHCQ Implicated In SIM Encryption Hack · · Score: 4, Informative

    And our Smart Cards we use on classified networks in the intelligence community use Gemalto. Just checked. Goddamnit.

    I'm not even kidding. Seriously.

  20. Re:Other green fuel sources. on Apple To Invest $2B Building Green Data Centers In Ireland and Denmark · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there are some types of crude oil that are the color green.

  21. Hang'em high, I say. Bring Lenovo's leaders out to the chopping block, as well as the leadership of the companies who made any other software that works like this

    Yeah! And while we're at it, I'd like a pony. A white one.

  22. Re:Guy is a moron. on Fedcoin Rising? · · Score: 4, Informative

    The one and ONLY value of a cryptocurrency is that it can be reliably traded secretly. There is simply NO other reason to use one.

    Cyrptocurrencies also ensure there are no forgeries. If a bill is printed with the hash on it, it can be verified easily. This is actually an excellent use of the cryptocurrency standards. Having the govt, as well as citizens and businesses, being able to track it publicly would be a benefit. Also, you're a moron.

  23. Re:The Secret of NIHM on Human DNA Enlarges Mouse Brains · · Score: 1

    The National Institute of Health, Mental?

  24. Re:And I'm sure on US May Sell Armed Drones · · Score: 1

    Why bother? We can shoot them down with air-to-air missiles from our planes with little to no effort.

  25. Re:Taken to the cleaners... on LG Exec Indicted Over Broken Samsung Washing Machine · · Score: 1

    there's a toilet just a few feet further away, and that lets me combine drowning and humiliation with throat crushing.
