  1. Re:And Then What Will You Do With It? on Chatroulette To Log IP Addresses, Take Screenshots · · Score: 2, Funny

    What ever happened to the recognition software? Has that already fallen through? Too many false positives? Light problems?

    Junk recognition software?

    "...just because the pictures aren't of your faces doesn't mean we can't identify you. At this very moment those pictures are on their way to Washington where the FBI has experts in this type of identification. If you turn yourselves in now, you may escape a Federal charge. "

  2. Re:Handheld + crossband repeater at the vehicle... on Amateur Radio In the Backcountry? · · Score: 1

    Right, because if your car battery dies, you want it to take down your communications and your means of egress.

    If you're going to do this, get a second battery for the radio, so you can still start your engine.

  3. Re:Cat got your number? on Scientists Use Calvin Klein Cologne to Lure Big Cats · · Score: 1

    The tight fitting jeans don't bother me nearly so much as the leopard print.

    The Japanese will probably just get fined for littering.

  5. Re:Why? on Police Officers Seek Right Not To Be Recorded · · Score: 1

    Documenting the excellent comportment of law enforcement officers carrying out their sworn duties hardly damages their credibility or prestige.

    They damage their own credibility and prestige all by themselves. They're afraid of more people seeing just what kind of job they're doing.

  6. Re:Not all plotters move the paper... on The Genius of the Lego Printer · · Score: 1

    ... and that's why Lego is the premium snap-together plastic brick toy, and Loc Blocs isn't.

  7. Re:Not all plotters move the paper... on The Genius of the Lego Printer · · Score: 2, Informative

    The main point that impresses me is that LEGO products are precision-built with such a quality

    If they weren't precision-built, they wouldn't line up when you snap the pieces together.

    Erector sets allowed slop, because of the hole-hardware clearance. That goes away in Lego.

  8. Crysis on Latest Top 500 Supercomputer List Released · · Score: 0, Redundant

    All this talk of high end computers, and no mention of Crysis?

    Not sure how I feel about that.

  9. Re:Sorry I have to point out on iPhone's PIN-Based Security Transparent To Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Hardly.

    I'm just feeding the troll.

  10. Re:fake on Flash Destroyer Tests Limit of Solid State Storage · · Score: 1

    They're writing and verifying a pattern to a 128 byte storage chip.

    This is vaguely similar to what you might get without wear-leveling.

  11. Re:This is not Apple's problem. on iPhone's PIN-Based Security Transparent To Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    It's the user's problem, because an attacker won't feel any particular compulsion to be bound by Apple's intents and guidelines.

    It's Apple's problem if they want their users to trust that Apple has their best interests in mind.

    You two have fun with that.

    Amen. Neuromancer without Molly isn't worth watching.

    Your .sig is brilliant.

    This is wholly off topic, but it had to be said.

  17. Re:The important thing is on Neuromancer Movie In Your Future? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm more worried about who plays Molly.

    Keanu is too old to make a convincing Case.

  18. Re:anyone vs everyone on Why Online Privacy Is Broken · · Score: 1

    Suppose I'm seeing another girl on the side. My friends probably know. I'd rather my main girlfriend didn't know.

    It's not against my moral code nor the laws of my community to be seeing more than one woman at once.

    However, out of courtesy, I'd rather be discreet about the second relationship.

    (To you fiends who will surely scoff at a basement dweller like me having two women: He said "fer instance". He didn't say it had to be true. I know it's a he, because girls don't say "gimme" and "fer instance", they'd say "give me an example".)

    Most people can't do good design.

    ... or maybe they just don't do good design, because it's work.

    it may increase the life of the car/machine.

    Sadly, this may kill the project.

    It seems that manufacturers don't want to build things that last forever. Planned obsolescence is the current fashion.
