  1. what the hell - Underestimated! on Why Your IT Department Needs To Staff a Hacker · · Score: 1

    That's a buncha bullshit.... The good TRUE hackers are typically highly paid programmers and people with a LOT of experience... those not willing to give it up for legitimacy. They're not your run of the mill IT specialists, or kids who can steal MP3s or rip movies. They often have years of PRACTICAL experience in cracking codes, breaking into shit and stealing even more shit. and certainly NOT the "oh ill take $11 dollars an hour because I'm MS certified... and oh yeah I've hacked my neighbors network" type. You underestimate REAL hackers... and you won't hire them I assure you. Even the been-busted-before ones. You could never put up the money they are accustomed to getting.

    Is this anything like the kick-ass Motorola Z80?

  5. Re:Sounds the same on Why Your Dad's 30-Year-Old Stereo Sounds Better Than Yours · · Score: 1

    Talk to any skilled guitarist ~ 35 or older and they will most likely have 1st hand experience of the use of tube-d amplifiers. Mesa Boogie still delivers some of the best tube amps with true rich tone that solid state can only hope to emulate. They are not the same, I assure you!

  6. Re:Didn't the state government promote these? on Is Your Electricity Meter Spying On You? · · Score: 1

    its obviously a much less informed legislator(s) riding the coattails of the ipod -privacy stories.

  7. Re:Smart Meters... dumb paranoia on Is Your Electricity Meter Spying On You? · · Score: 1

    Someone who knows what they are talking about!

  8. Are you kidding me!? on Is Your Electricity Meter Spying On You? · · Score: 1

    I work for Gas and Electric municipalities all over the country. Smart meters are designed to transmit usage data and never have I heard of ANY PUC (Public Utilities Commision) or even Private or co-op Municipalities collecting data other than for billing or diagnostic purposes. I work DIRECTLY with data collection and billing accuracies for Gas Meters and have NEVER seen ANYTHING to indicate this is going on.. As a matter of fact I would think that it would be illegal if they sold any of that information. Fucking paranoids... It's not even happening anyway! Really!?

  9. Was he in a frog suit? on Real-Life Frogger Ends In Hospital Visit · · Score: 1

  14. Sit! Good boy! on Regenerating Muscle Cells With Newt-Inspired Tech · · Score: 2, Funny

    One problem, the Arf gene tends to make people sniff the ass of people who walk by, leg humping and rawhide chewing.

  15. Re:eye-tracking mouse? on Modded Nintendo Lets You Play Mario With Your Eyes · · Score: 2, Funny

    I keep wishing for a hands-free mouse. Taping electrodes to your face every day at work--won't, but glasses (or something using your webcam) might. Anyone seen something like this?

    I haven't seen anything because these annoying electrodes are glued to my eyes.

  16. mmmmm.... DOH! on Why You Never Ask the Designers For a Favor · · Score: 1

  17. I think I'll change my name to :) on Prince Says Internet Is Over · · Score: 1

  18. Eat my transistor on Researchers Create 4nm Transistor With Seven Atoms · · Score: 5, Funny

    I once created a transistor with seven raisins. It didn't last long and I think Kelloggs stole the patent!

  23. International Free Comic Day!? on Spider-Man Foils Comic Book Thief · · Score: 1

    From TFA: "We had about 40 people dressed up as their favourite superheroes to celebrate International Free Comic Day, so he [the thief] didn't have much of a choice but to hand the X-Men Omnibus back after a little bit of a scuffle," Mr Baulderstone told the Adelaide Advertiser...."
