  1. Re:Isn't this headline kinda weird on 95% of ATMs Worldwide Are Still Using Windows XP · · Score: 2

    I see more ATMs running Windows 2000 than Windows 95.

    I think Windows 98 and OS/2 still have a comparable market share, however.

  2. Re:So what happens to the hydrogen? That's usable. on Revolutionary Scuba Mask Creates Breathable Oxygen Underwater On Its Own · · Score: 2

    However, a pool builder who might want to put a technician below the surface of pool water for 5 - 15 minutes to work on a repair might not want to pay for the SCUBA training and maintenance.

    I'd look at a snorkel, personally.

    This product might also work.

    The doomsday clock is what inspires people to keep proclaiming this to be the year of Linux on the desktop.

    -Looking like a normal phone, If it screams PRIVACY phone, one might think ik have somthing to hide.

    From the picture on the website, it looks rather like an iPhone (without the button).

    When the phone is in your pocket, they all look alike to everyone else, anyway.

  7. Re:Finally! on Chinese Firm Can Now Produce 500 Cloned Pigs Per Year · · Score: 1

    They've already said that they can currently do two implantations per day.

    Assuming we get a 12 piglet litter per implantation, that's a result of 24 piglets per day... so all 500 won't be on the same schedule with the current production methods.

    So, there should be more guns there. They should hand them out at the door. I bet the theatre would be REAL quiet

    I hypothesize that the theater would be silent, due to the vast number of potential patrons electing to not place themselves in a room full of guns, lest a relatively minor misunderstanding with some airborne popcorn lead to their death.

    It's the exact same bacon, but does it taste better?

    It's probably not the exact same bacon. I expect terroir will come into play - minor differences in diet and season may produce obvious differences in the fat marbling and quality. Also, there's sure to be variance in processing (this batch was smoked with 7 year old hickory twigs, where that batch was smoked with 9 year old hickory sticks - the wood-to-bark ratio changes the flavor in subtle and mysterious ways...)

    Can I send my salive and get a copy of myself in 9-10 months?

  11. I hear there was a Chicago Alderman who was removed from office because he decided to get back at his ex-wife by defunding snow removal to her neighborhood...

    That simply means he didn't realize she still had more connections than he did.

    My understanding from my Chicago acquaintances is that snow removal and pothole repair are two significant political tools.

    In broad terms, retired cops carrying in public is a net benefit.

    In general, I'll agree. I don't believe the retired cops should be held to a lesser standard than other concealed carry permit holders, however - others have pointed out periodic review of concealed-carry permits, which many retired officers are apparently exempt from.

    Canada also has gun laws unlike the U.S.

    The U.S. has gun laws, too.

    They're just order allow,deny instead of order deny,allow.

    I say they need to make the back 3 rows texting friendly. Anyone caught texting outside of those rows are fair game for immediate ejection with no refund.

    This is a brilliant idea.

    In this case, had there been one less armed ex cop in the theater, there would be one less dead person.

    More importantly, I hope this sends a message to people carrying firearms - don't escalate to lethal force over minor annoyances.

    I use my own domain and domain email as well. It's all stored on my own server, but generally I use Gmail as a mail client.

    Offtopic: it's also stored on their servers. Some people would say this fully negates the advantages of storing it on your own server.

  24. While I'm not an intelligence analyst, I'm pretty sure that most of the time, lots of medium resolution (1m) imagery is significantly useful to supplant the intermittent high resolution (5cm) imagery.... if for nothing else than more data points to compare when looking for intriguing changes to study in more detail.
