  3. Re:Capitalism on NASA Head Ignores Congress, Eyes Cooperation With China · · Score: 1

    given than recently China was interested in financing Greece (where EU failed to provide effective rescue), I wouldn't be surprised if NASA became 100% China-funded.

    why not attach it to meteorological balloon?
    That should alert agents instantly ....

    which gave me idea for the best procedure with the bug - go to venezuela and sell your bugged car. Then, if FBI turns up to collect their device, wish them good luck.

    that is why encrypting stuff as a spam (pseudo-spam more precisely) might be the best way to send secret messages.
    (say - http://www.hoax-slayer.com/hidden-text-spam.html ).
    Need to parse through zillions of penis enlargement adverts would definitely piss off the any gov, including US.

    Agreed. Especially, that now terrorists will have to spend some $400 on dedicated ADS-B set. This shall stop them.
    Everyone knows that their typical budget is $3.50 per act of terror.

  10. Re:That's pretty cool on How Will the Constellations Change In 50K Years? · · Score: 1

    In 6,000 years we have gone from the dawn of history to a worldwide information network and space travel.

    you've just made Star Wars fans very upset. Space travel was far superior to what NASA does - and it was long, long ago

  11. Re:Last prize really Ig Nobel? on 2010 Ig Nobel Winners Announced · · Score: 1

    Actually, in "good ol' times" - 2006-2007, 95% of the investment funds in Poland recorded lower profits (or even loses) than average for all possible random baskets of 20 stocks. And journalist who discovered it found also, that his toddler had better results in picking stocks than fund managers :-)

  12. Re:Maybe some access controls would help on Google Warning Gmail Users On Spying From China · · Score: 1

    If you got kidnapped by Chinese special forces and managed to escape, you would problably like to login to gmail and ask friends/embassy/whoever for help, from the account they would not classify as spam.

  14. Re:I disagree on Why Browsers Blamed DNS For Facebook Outage · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yet, you failed to notice that /. is a site for nerds.
    Many nerds do not thrive to cultivate their social skills.
    Checking their friends status on social network might not be on top of their agendas.
    So: event was notable, but not very important to many slashdotters.

    Yes, Finnish are well known for being funny - it is even recognised in Janne Ahonen's wikipedia entry:

    One of Ahonen's trademark features is his apparent lack of emotion when competing, as he is rarely seen smiling, even when celebrating on the podium. This has prompted the German press to conceive him nickname "The Mask".

    both 10^100 and 1.47058824 × 10^93 seem to be overestimated for number of winners.

  19. polish on First Reviews of Civilization V · · Score: 1

    different enough to be fresh, and its polish and accessibility make it a great place for new players to pick up one hell of a Civ addiction.

    While I'm glad that there is Polish version, I don't really get why it is so great for new players worldwide.

    Having a car is not equal to buying a car http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gear:_US_Special#Overview (challenge 5 - selling a car).

    Especially is not equal to buying a new car. And $200 you could buy you a working one.
    In Europe driving a car would be costly, but with low prices on gasoline in US this is not a real factor.

    citation from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management#Controversy

    As already noted, many DRM opponents consider "digital rights management" to be a misnomer. They argue that DRM manages rights (or access) the same way prison manages freedom and often refer to it as "digital restrictions management". Alternatively, ZDNet Executive Editor David Berlind suggests the term "Content Restriction, Annulment and Protection" or "CRAP" for short
