    Wait....did you just say "colored children"? Yea...Yea pretty sure you just did. And you were doing so well up until then...lol

  2. Re:What about Sexual Harassment Panda!?! on Police Publish 'An Introduction To PEDO BEAR' · · Score: 1

    Sexual Harassment Panda and Pedo Bear would be the ultimate dream team. In defiance of those dumb cops that can't take a joke and don't understand the internet, whoever was in the costume @ 2010 Comic Con, should find a friend and go with Sexual Harassment Panda for 2011.

  3. At least the option is there... on Flash On Android Is 'Shockingly Bad' · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ...as opposed to Apple's devices that take it out of your hands completely by not giving you the option to view flash.

    Also since flash on smart phones is relatively new, especially to the android platform, it is bound to get better with time and more powerful hardware.

  4. Re:Next time... on Assange Rape Case Reopened · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't understand why people are so surprised that two women cried "rape" and it wasn't actually rape. This happens all the time. And it is usually under these circumstances, where the woman or women in question have a grudge against the guy or are just pissed off he cheated or whatever the reason. Rape charges should be met with the HIGHEST scrutiny because they are VERY easy to make and get charges brought up against someone, which usually winds up ruining that person's reputation REGARDLESS if they did it or not.

    That is exactly what has happened here. The damage has been done. There are now thousands, perhaps more, people who watch the main stream media who are now saying: "OMGZ! Wikileaks is illegal, they endanger our troops, the US Government said they bad, AND they rape people too!"

    It really is a sad state of affairs for this to be happening. Hopefully these scorn women come to their senses and drop the charges. If he really DID rape them, then yea sure bring him to trial and put him in jail. But this all smells REALLY fishy, and it has nothing to do with either woman's hygiene.

  5. Intellivison Got it Right! on The Misleading World of Atari 2600 Box Art · · Score: 1

    Growing up with Intellivision rather than Atari apparently made all the difference when it came to game box art! The first 16-bit game system definitely made me appreciate games and game art at an early age

    Intellivision game boxes actually were very representative of the game play, although obviously indulged to be more artistic in presentation than the actual 16-bit (or 10-bit the way you look at it) graphics were capable of at that time. Here are a few examples.

    Some of the more crazy titles indulged a little more: like Astrosmash

  6. Re:Also a better way to CYA on Look For AI, Not Aliens · · Score: 1

    Honestly, if the aliens that come to visit find an antenna on the moon, and can't figure out that the giant blue ball, approx. 384,000km away, that is full of lifeforms are the ones that put it there, do we honestly want to meet them anyway? No reason to bring space-faring idiots to Earth. We have enough of our own as it is.

    Sorry, it had to be done.

    This rape accusation stinks of government involvement, its way too convenient for this to come up now. Long live Wikileaks!

  8. Re:Won't even notice it on Why You Shouldn't Worry About IPv6 Just Yet · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Same here. There have been several instances where IPv6 has caused a lot of problems. I work for a local government and have 5000 new PC's being installed on my network and they are all getting IPv6 turned off on their images because it is annoying, to say the least.

    As a network engineer I am not worried about IPv6. The most that will have to be done is our main firewall and/or router will maybe eventually have to be setup to accept incoming IPv6 addresses. But for our internal network, IPv4 won't go away anytime soon. I doubt if it ever will. There is just no reason to run IPv6 on an internal network unless you need some specific function of IPv6 on your internal network (which other than the mandatory IPsec integration and multicast additions I can't see anyone needing the larger address space or any other features on an internal network).

    IPv6 seems to be more for ISPs and super-large networks than for the rest of us.

  11. Re:$1.5B is a BOGUS number... on iPhone 4 Reception Recall Ruckus Roundup · · Score: 1

    While the actual cost of the actual fix would only wind up being around $20 Million, the damage to Apple's stock and reputation if they have to issue a recall that massive could very well approach $1.5B.

    Toyota lost more $ than the cost of the actual fixes to the cars they recalled. The same thing would happen here. Apple's mostly spotless record in the last few years could be very tarnished depending on how they handle this and if a recall takes place.

  12. Re:The Final Frontier on Hayabusa Returns Particles From Asteroid · · Score: 1

    Their budget increased, but they have stopped funding for manned space missions and reallocated it to research. At least that is what the Obama administration wants to do. They haven't officially decided the direction of NASA, though, as the committee deciding NASA's future recently "...sidestepped a potential vote on NASA’s future, opting to take “no position” on White House plans to scrap NASA’s moon rocket program and replace the space shuttle with commercial rockets."

  13. The Final Frontier on Hayabusa Returns Particles From Asteroid · · Score: 1

    Hopefully they will find something in the samples they brought back that indicates life or something equally as great (perhaps some new elements for the periodic table?).

    This incredible accomplishment comes shortly after America has scaled back it's space program and decided to concentrate on a "commercial" space industry. I hope that JAXA can continue doing what NASA is supposed to be doing too, which is pushing the final frontier and the technology needed to get there. Maybe if they start discovering new amazing things it will push NASA and Obama to rethink their scaling back on the space program.

  16. Shotspotter, nothing new here. on In NJ, Higher Tech Lowers Crime · · Score: 1

    In Rochester, NY we have run Shotspotter for a very long time now. There are sensors at all major intersections that "listen" for crimes, and can "learn" what crimes are being committed just by sound and video. The shotspotter system here knows when a gun shot goes off, or what type of vehicle related accident has occurred.

  17. Chaos Theory on Smokescreen, a JavaScript-Based Flash Player · · Score: 1

    The Internet Finds a Way.

    This isn't so much about Apple as it is about users finding a way to run the apps and code they want, where they want, when they want it.

    Although if it doesn't suck up resources, this could enable flash on Apple iDevices, and I doubt Steve Jobs will ignore it if it catches on.

    Right but all they have done is create an unsecured form where they are entering in a clear text credit card number. It is just an unnecessary risk regardless if it is a legit site or not. What if they have malware that is collecting form field entries? They just made a nice clear text form for that malicious software to extract from.

  21. How the heck... on Phishing Education Test Blocked For Phishing · · Score: 1

    ...are people still this gullible? Even if the site is 100% legit, what would possess someone to give out their information on an site that had no ssl encryption? They put freaking graphics of "Secured!" with a green check mark on the page...honestly if people can't see through that they deserve to get their card information stolen.

    Now that I think about it, perhaps that is the secondary purpose of the site. Force people to learn not to give out their card information otherwise some guy in China will start buying his internet service and iPhone apps on your account! (happened to several people I know after using Meritline.com).

    The first purpose being to steal credit card info of course. ;)

  23. Re:Sigh on Next Gen Intel CPUs Move To Yet Another Socket · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I really hope that AMD gets back on top and can compete with Intel on the top-level CPUs again. I am tired of the Intel fanboy's crapping all over AMD for the last few years, and really the industry NEEDS AMD to get back on top and help drive the price of these Intel chips down. The price gap is so huge between AMD and Intel that it makes building a top of the line Intel machine very daunting for us working-class enthusiasts and system builders.

    Thankfully AMD's new hexacores will work in AM3 sockets so a motherboard upgrade isn't necessary at least for the Phenom II X6's. To me that is a big deal. I think it will be for a lot of others as well.

  24. Interested in the results on PS3 Owner Refunded For Missing "Other OS" · · Score: 1

    While am interested in running Linux on my PS3, I bought a slim so I never had the option anyway (according to Geohot his hack could possibly restore the OtherOS option on the slim as well).

    I am much more interested to see how this plays out, if Amazon is handing out $ to end-users because of SONY'S decision to remove a feature. This could have huge impacts on any future company that things about removing an established feature from a popular product. Everyone should be watching this turn of events carefully, whether you care about the OtherOS option or not.

  25. Kinda old news...and better products exist. on A Wireless Hotspot For Your Car — Why Not? · · Score: 1

    Nexus has had their HAWK product out for a long time. It is a wireless router for cars that accept pcmcia air cards and a single wired connection. Has secured wireless AP hotspot built in with remote access, VPN and ipsec tunnels, etc. They are popular with a lot of police organizations.

    Also, the Pepwave MAX Mobile Router seems like a much better option, especially if you are looking for a more reliable connection, since it accepts multiple types of connections, so you can have more than 1 provider (say one on Verizon's network, and one on Sprints, load balanced together, or if one drops it fails over to the other). They are also significantly cheaper than the Nexus product.
