    I geoviblog.

  4. Re:I wouldn't open it either. on White House Refused To Open Unwelcome EPA E-Mail · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That was my thought as well. I'm half-tempted to start forging emails from the DEA to the White House laying out new rules to end the war on drugs, just to see if it gets anything accomplished.

    it bothers me he was convicted without ever being able to tell the jury about his wife's lover being a serial killer.

  6. Re:Am I the only one that on Whitehouse Emails Were Lost Due to "Upgrade" · · Score: 1

    I think it's fairly obvious Clinton had pretty low standards, so whether the sucking was better or worse I'm sure he'd take it with a smile. And a cigar.

  7. Re:Trey Parker & Matt Stone on Blizzard to Boll - DENIED! · · Score: 2, Funny

    They should base the script on Warcraft 2. That'll limit the dialogue to "dabu" and "yes my lord" and they should be able to finish the movie in record time.

    THIS IS WHAT SCIENTOLOGISTS ACTUALLY BELIEVE

    for those who missed it (and to avoid the lameness filter) that was a south park reference

    At least it's not video of an analytical therapist.

  10. Re:Diminished Value? on Google Sued Over Privacy Invasion On Street View · · Score: 4, Informative

    http://www2.county.allegheny.pa.us/RealEstate/Search.asp

    Allegheny County already put all this information online, years ago.

    Also I'm not sure how you can "clearly see" it's a private road. Since Google posted detailed pictures of the area you would think we could see this "private road" sign somewhere, no? I just used street view to pan around and all I could find was a single wooden post with "Oakridge Ln" painted on it (where it meets Reis Run Road.) In fact you can still follow Oakridge all the way up to their house before google says "This image is no longer available" and still see no posted sign.

    Here's another picture of their house:

    http://www2.county.allegheny.pa.us/RealEstate/Image.asp?CurrBloLot=0823E00136000000&Street=oakridge

    The people claim Allegheny County took their picture from a public road which, judging by the picture, is the same road Google was on.

    Also how's this for invasion of privacy: They bought their 1 bedroom house in 2006 for $163,000 and it sits on 1.82 acres of land. It gets a D+ rating. It has no AC, 1 bathroom, and 984 sq. ft. of living area.

    That's all available on Allegheny County's assessment website. Along with a nice picture.

    My guess is they saw this on Google, ran to Home Depot for a private road sign, and decided to cash in.

    exactly! Now they can ban YouTube at blazing broadband speeds!

    Just wait for a passing comet and then poison them.

  13. Re:Religion and its leaders on Pakistan Blocks YouTube · · Score: 1

    Fitna doesn't mean "evil". Wikipedia's page about it is pretty decent. My arabic dictionary has definitions generally related to temptation or civil strife/riots.

    Better keep a wooden stake nearby, in case it does both.

  16. Re:Losing a battle to win a war. on Sony Starts a Standards War Over Wireless USB · · Score: 1

    That would certainly explain all those mysterious trips to South America that Wonder Woman took in her invisible jet.

  17. Re:No it won't on Warner Backs Blu-Ray. End Times For HD-DVD? · · Score: 1

    Right, but it's something they consider. Would you buy an XBox with a VHS player in it, or a Playstation with a DVD player? Even if you aren't using it for either you're going to go for the technology that will last longer.

  18. Re:Money from both camps. on Warner Backs Blu-Ray. End Times For HD-DVD? · · Score: 1

    It's not about the money for MS, they're concerned about mindshare. Sony beating them on something like this will seriously dent their XBox 360 sales.

  19. Re:sure they look fine... on Warner Backs Blu-Ray. End Times For HD-DVD? · · Score: 2, Funny

    That added spectrum sounds like nothing else. I can't wait till a remastered version of John Cage's 4'33" is released for it.

  20. Re:Sure, right, yeah... on Long Live Closed-Source Software? · · Score: 1

    what's funny is that in an attempt to mimic Windows the KDE guys decided to also "borrow" from CDE.

    I remember using it the first time and thinking "I hate CDE, why would I like this?"

  21. Re:We're all boiling frogs on Diffing Guantanamo Bay SOP Manuals · · Score: 0

    I'm glad to see someone else pointing this out. If a U.S. citizen were found trying to overthrow Musharraf or the Saudis he'd be taken out into the street and, if he's lucky, shot in the head. If he's not lucky he gets his head sawn off.

  22. Re:No on Heavily Discounted Zune Outpacing iPod Sales · · Score: 1

    They might not have been "mp3'd" at all, they could have been encoded as WMA files. Even if they were mp3s the Zune wraps everything (even mp3s) in a proprietary DRM wrapper, which is how they can stop you from playing a song you got from a friend after 3 days.

  23. Re:mp3 to go on Heavily Discounted Zune Outpacing iPod Sales · · Score: 3, Informative

    iTunes/iPods have done this for a long long time. You can even subscribe to video podcasts if you have an ipod capable of playing it.

  24. Re:easier than a book? on Hands-On With The Kindle · · Score: 2, Informative

    It uses e-ink, not LCD for the display. This means it's easier to read in bright light (and conversely impossible to read in total darkness.)

    I would guess looking at the specs it's lighter than most books, water issues are exactly what the reviewer is talking about.
