  1. Re:query on Interviews: Ask James Randi About Investigating the Truth · · Score: 1

    Someone please mod the parent up.

    Most of the frauds have seemed pretty harmless, but there is potential here for serious damage too, I'd like to know what some of those are.

  2. Google's Crisis Map on Hurricane Sandy Nears East Coast · · Score: 2

    Google has launched a crisis map showing rainfall, active emergency shelters and quite a bit of other info. http://google.org/crisismap/sandy-2012

  3. An Expanding Internet on An Overview of the Do Not Track Debate · · Score: 2

    As I remember it, things were expanding quite quickly even before every little click was tracked. I imagine things might slow down with Do-Not-Track, but they will keep growing.

  4. Congressional Ineptitude on the subject? on S. Carolina Supreme Court: Leaving Email In the Cloud Isn't Electronic Storage · · Score: 2

    "...yet another reason why the Supreme Court (and/or Congress) should take up the issue of the Stored Communications Act."

    I agree that this should be taken up and clarified in law, I'm just not so sure Congress is up to doing it right.

    Is my skepticism showing through??

  5. Re:U.S. is established on religion, so on America's Turn From Science, a Danger For Democracy · · Score: 2

    The source I show for that quote is actually Bob Edwards? http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Bob_Edwards/

    I've also seen it reference in Bloom County

  6. Re:My favorite response on Ask Slashdot: What To Do With Spammers You Know? · · Score: 1

    When I have been able to get a specific mailing address I have been successful in getting this method to work before, it does take persistence and the correct wording (I've found the phrase "any further emails means you accept my billing rates and practices" or something similar works pretty good).

    I've used this practice to get unwanted 'free' local newspapers discontinued as well.

  7. Change wireless provider? Why? on Apple Targeting Business World for the iPhone · · Score: 1

    I may be mistaken in this because I'm a little out of date on the topic, but...

    If Apple wants iPhone to become a 'standard business tool' ... it seems like they would open the phone up to working on other networks other than AT&T.

    Why would I as a business user switch to AT&T (as opposed to paying to have my iPhone hacked and potentially bricked) just for the latest toy?

  8. Re:TRS80 Model I on What Was Your First Gaming Experience? · · Score: 1

    For a computer the first game was on a TRS 80, a simple artillery game (scorched3d is the 'modern' equiv) ... I was in the Navy and walked into a Radio Shack (yes, I'm 'that' old), stood there playing for a few hours. I went from ADR3 to Computer Geek in one afternoon.

    Prior to computer games it was d20's and Avalon Hill.
