  1. Obligatory Simpsons Quote on Bugged Canadian Coins? · · Score: 1

    Wiggum: What do you got, the whole town's DNA on file? DNA guy: Y'uh huh. If you've ever handled a penny, the government's got your DNA. Why do you think they keep 'em in circulation?

  2. engineer chow on The Ultimate Geek Food · · Score: 1
    I, too had been eating sports-bars while working as a code-monkey. Would have been nice to have some kibble though--sports bars are way too sugary.

    Dilberitos are a good start, for those of us not morally opposed to other people's ideas.

  3. panpsychism on Giordano Bruno After 400 Years · · Score: 1

    So, maybe this guy is a figment of the collective imagination, or a time traveller from the present.

  4. try this at home on Advances in Artificial Muscles Using Plastic · · Score: 1
    I'd like to see someone do a homebrew version of this. How to build a biomorphic exoskeleton in my own back yard.

    Heck, how-to instructions for an individual twitch-fiber would be enough to start some interesting projects. Sure would beat Lego Mindstorms.

  5. freenet: next level on Open Source and Legal Protection · · Score: 1
    On a theoretical follow-up to freenet, (add anonymous authentication of a synthetic identity) one could establish a secure identity, and have a (digitally signed) source-control repository of all progress.

    With this, the developent timeline will be well-documented, and, should the author decide to out themself, they can. (If you're really lucky, you can run the whole thing through the courts as hypotheticals before the author would have to consider surfacing.)

  6. civil action/public defenders hack on Open Source and Legal Protection · · Score: 1
    Are public defenders available for such cases?

    Unfortunatly, no. The right to an attourney only applies to criminal court.

    I wonder if some brave/foolish soul could do a sort of non-defense/civil disobedience defense until the thing rises to the level of having a public defender (or a well-funded supporter)

    Such tactics (if developed and elaborated) could be useful.

    Is I couldn't afford a lawyer to contest my restarining order. a valid defense? At least you'd have a court-appointed attourney at that point.
