  1. Re:Opt out on Google Japan To Help Victims of Street View Abuse · · Score: 1

    Hmm, what intersection were you at, and in what town/state? This, I have to see.

  2. graphics over USB w/ DisplayLink for Linux on Running Old Desktops Headless? · · Score: 1

    You could always go with a DisplayLink monitor, it lets you push an image over USB. Someone did this on a router with openWRT installed: http://sven.killig.de/openwrt/slugterm_dl.html

  3. Re:Decryption on computer on An End To Unencrypted Digital Cable TV and the HTPC · · Score: 1

    Not really, I use DirecTV, and my MCE setup uses an IR blaster to change the channels on the box. It's not the most reliable way, but I'm sure you can do it with cable too.

  4. Make ads less obtrusive on Will Mainstream Media Embrace Adblockers? · · Score: 1

    The problem with ads is that they're distracting, slow down the browser, and that they potentially jeopardize security. This is why most people don't block Google's ads, they don't cause any of these problems. So, they kind of dug their own grave here.

  5. Squid Proxy on Integrating Wikipedia With a Local Intranet Wiki · · Score: 1

    Use squid proxy to inject the extra content, that way it's centralized.

  6. CO2 + NH3 = H2N + Urea on Can Urine Rescue Hydrogen-Powered Cars? · · Score: 1

    Urea can be made from carbon dioxide and ammonia, according to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea#Industrial_methods Global warming problem solved?

  7. Wikileaks? on Judge Thinks Linking To Copyrighted Material Should Be Illegal · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't this sort of thing discourage people from using things like Wikileaks to disclose sensitive information? Although I could see the argument for piracy, I think such a policy has the potential for being used in other ways that would ultimately hurt more then just pirates.

  8. The thing with books is... on What Can I Do About Book Pirates? · · Score: 1

    usually if someone really enjoyed the book, they want to support the author. This applies to the music industry as well, but to a grater extent for books. I don't think you have to worry about too much, provided your book is worth something.

  9. Hmm... maybe it wasn't due to books on Study Shows Cocaine And Other Drugs In Spanish Air · · Score: 1

    Don Quixote anyone?

  10. Re:And it did not take him long to get arrested ei on Spider Bite Allows Man To Walk Again · · Score: 2, Funny

    Arrested for domestic violence? My god, this man really is spiderman!

  11. Re:Expanding debris cloud on Satellites Collide In Orbit · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...or the cloud could reflect sunlight back into space, which would slow down global warming...

  12. Star wars? on Satellites Collide In Orbit · · Score: 1

    Good thing we never put lasers into space... who knows what would have happened then.

  13. Re:-1, Offtopic on Ask Jeremy White and Alexandre Julliard About the Future of WINE · · Score: 1

    Re-implementing windows' libraries must be enough to drive someone to drink, so I would assume so.

  14. Why a seperate law? on Proposed Legislation Would Outlaw "Cyberbullying" in US · · Score: 1

    Isn't cyberbullying basically harassment? Why do we need a seperate law? how would they enforce this, it's easy to fake this stuff due to the nature of the internet. Also, I think a lot of these cases are caused by problems with the 'victim' themselves, the harassment just acts as a catalyst.

  15. Here's a patent worth a million dollars! on Singapore Firm Claims Patent Breach By Virtually All Websites · · Score: 1

    I'm soooo patenting this: A system that would allow one to register a particular idea in a large database of ideas. Once an idea is registered in the system, one must compensate the original registrant of that idea in order to implement the idea in a product. Failure to comply would result in a lawsuit by the idea's registrant.
