  4. Re:Let's write out the pseudocode... on No Linking To Japanese Newspaper Without Permission · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Sadly, I dislike (hate) douchebag governments or philosophies.
    Orientals who wish to be less than part of the real world, should
    be boycotted or blocked, from real interaction with the real world.

    Allow them to be ignored worldwide , plus block their censoring asses
    from any participation in the Internet. They have already proven they
    DO NOT DESERVE connection or the information contained therein.

    A major Bitch Slap is the LEAST they deserve. Nuking these people who
    cannot learn from history, is a kindness.

    Plus, their chicks are less than attractive, based upon these people's
    thoughts. OOPS, that was just a wrong thing to say. Chicks can never
    be pawns for their government. Tokyo Rose, are you still alive?

  9. History People on Ars Technica Inveighs Against Ad Blocking · · Score: 1

    Prior to 1994, it was not legal to make commercial use of the internet.
    Congress allowed that. Before it was for educational and DEFENSE usage.
    They were often tied together. Educational institutions did and still
    do research for the DOD.
    Most of you do not remember those days. Text only pages.

    LYNX - remember that one? University of Kansas. Didn't think so.

  10. Hmmmm on Ars Technica Inveighs Against Ad Blocking · · Score: 1

    If the ad blockers would actually follow the links and give the
    people the clicks they desire, without displaying the advertisement,
    would that help?

    Sure it would pollute the ad revenue, but at least it would not
    pollute my eyes... plus the demographic studies these revenue
    sources depending upon the click analysis would fail. How nice.

    The practise is called 'venue shopping'. http://epic.org/free_speech/censorship/us_v_thomas.html

    The Miller decision was applied and found to be applicable to this case. If you offend
    someone in their place of residence, they are still offended. This is why buck naked fornicators
    do not enter your home over the broadcast airways.

    The Thomas case was a little different, but a conviction was obtained anyway.

  14. Well now on USPTO Won't Accept Upside Down Faxes · · Score: 0, Interesting

    It all depends on the definition of upside down. Back in the day it meant
    the white side of the paper was oriented against the scanning device. All
    pages were blank. Your mileage may vary.

  15. Terrible karma? on Toyota Pedal Issue Highlights Move To Electronics · · Score: -1

    I posted this on Sunday January 31, @06:12PM (#30974970)

    I suspect a common design to be involved in these failures. Floormats are not the cause. I believe all these vehicles can have cruise control added as an option, and I think that the attachment method or Computer control of the cruise control is at fault. The onboard computer thinks there is cruise control on the vehicle and begins to add gas to keep the speed the same, with or without cruise control actually being installed on the automobile. It happens randomly to too many models.

    WAY before you putz's quoted Woz. Obviously you are not the geeks you think you are.

  16. Quoting Woz on Toyota Pedal Issue Highlights Move To Electronics · · Score: -1

    Woz said : "Toyota has this accelerator problem we've all heard about," Wozniak said. "Well, I have many models of Prius that got recalled, but I have a new model that didn't get recalled. This new model has an accelerator that goes wild but only under certain conditions of cruise control. And I can repeat it over and over and over again--safely."

    "This is software. It's not a bad accelerator pedal. It's very scary, but luckily for me I can hit the brakes,"

    Woohoo !!! Take THAT ya bozo's. Terrible karma indeed.

  20. Motion detection on Police Called Over 11-Year-Old's Science Project · · Score: -1

    one non-conductive container, two wires in the container one slightly above the water level, salt water in the container, batteries and some more wires and a door bell cobbled together to make the container the switch. Water sloshes, completes the circuit and rings the bell, motion detector.

    So what have we learned? Not a damned thing.

    Or use a similar setup, but utilize two screens with a salt encrusted piece of blotter paper sandwiched between the screens to act as a switch, rain hits the blotter, circuit completes and bell rings - Rain detector !!!! Wires are fun, batteries make things better.

  25. Military Security clearances. on Enterprise Security For the Executive · · Score: 0

    Those are more about holding the soldier responsible for their actions,
    rather than for actual security. Blab what little you know, and treason
    is the charge de jour.

    Many soldiers are routinely given Secret clearances, not so much out of
    a 'Need to Know', but more as a leash to strangle them if they F*** Up.

    It makes them part of the project in their minds, and therefore more likely
    to behave. 'Q' cleared, 'NATO briefed' and all the ancillary stuff. 90
    percent of these people have no actual need for those and higher level
    clearances. Such is life in the Military.

    Been there, done that. Security-wise, not military, I was in Engineering.
