  1. Time for some new Anti-virus methodologies on Intel CPU Privilege Escalation Exploit · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Guess we need to start booting from CD every time we scan for viruses?

  2. Hack-a-day? Nope.. on Homebrew Microcontroller Laptop, Made of Wood · · Score: 1

    More like returning to its roots.

  3. Re:So if I were to install Skype on it... on Gnome, KDE, LXDE, IceWM All Working On Android · · Score: 1

    I could use it as a mobile phone!

    True. And for a while it will be secure.
    Can I get a Cone of Silence to go with that?

  4. Funny.... it's not about the vaccine on Court Rules Autism Not Caused By Childhood Vaccine · · Score: 1, Interesting
    It's so weird listening to all this hyperbole about vaccines causing the damage when it's not the vaccine itself, but the mercury they were using as a preservative in the vaccine. My personal belief is that there are two factors involved in acquiring Aspergers (and likely autism), one genetic and the other environmental. The problem is that if the research does not properly separate out the correct triggers, it will not come up with strong correlations. To top it all off, there probably is a pure genetic cause of Autism/Aspergers that isn't accounted for either.

    Given the above, I see this ruling to be the result of straight-up rear orifice covering by the drug companies. To rule that the autism was definitely NOT caused by vaccine when the cause in unknown is very suspicious. I wouldn't have a problem with them saying "We will not hear any more cases until you come up with real proof", but for them to say "Nothing to see here, please move along" raises the my TFH (Tin Foil Hat) level up a notch.

    Disclaimer: My brother has Aspergers.

  5. Seconded on Microsoft Update Slips In a Firefox Extension · · Score: 0

    Wait.... you run as system administrator?

  6. Natural Selection, not Evolution on Extinct Pyrenean Ibex Cloned · · Score: 0

    White and Black were Selected, not Evolved. The gene pool already contained those attributes, nothing to see here, move along.

  7. No, oil didn't necessarily come from plants. on Lots of Pure Water Ice At Mars North Pole · · Score: 0
  8. Evidence... on Single Drive Wipe Protects Data · · Score: 0

    It's a whole lot quicker & easier to upload a file to a drive than to bother trying to recover data that never existed.
    Is there a way to log a fingerprint of the last N block writes to a hard disk to prove that your data has been tampered with?
    I guess that wouldn't prevent Them uploading a file to you unawares before they bust you.

  9. Meet the laser: on The Unmanned Air Force · · Score: 0

    A bunch of little airplanes would quickly fall from short pulses from:

    or
    http://blog.800hightech.com/airborne-military-laser-weapons/932/
    One way to defeat this might be to spew optically (and gamma/x-ray) dispersive pollutants (water, foil, dust etc) in the path that the flock would take.

  10. How about... on Class Teaches Nerds Social Skills · · Score: 0

    I was home-schooled you insensitive clod!
