  1. Re:-1 False Assumption on Red-Light Camera Ticket Revenue and Short Yellows · · Score: 1

    And for some innocent bystanders, there my be no tomorrow.

  2. Re:Phones need a "I'm driving" mode. on "Phone In One Hand, Ticket In the Other" · · Score: 3, Informative

    On my phone (Samsung), it has differnt profiles (Normal, Silent, Driving, Meeting...), so if I set it to Driving, it has the voice mail "You've called SpaceCadet, I'm driving...", or if it is Meeting it is "You've called SpaceCadet, I'm in a meeting...". Same for texts, if someone texts me it sends an automatic preprogrammed reply. Maybe on your next upgrade see if you can get a phone that does the same - or even if your current phone does it. It took me a while to find the option and work out how to set it up. Once it is going though, it is a blessing. :)

  4. Re:Darwin Or Nature's Reset Button? on Gonorrhea As the Next Superbug · · Score: 1

    I'd rather have David Tennant within me, but hey. :)

  5. Re:MacGyver on Self-Destructing USB Stick · · Score: 1

    Dude I saw RDA at a Stargate convention in Melbourne the other week... he's still sexy, but they'd certainly still need Dan Shea to do his stunts again. Man he got old in a hurry.

  6. Re:Homeowner? His responsibility on Man Sues Neighbor Claiming Wi-Fi Made Him Sick · · Score: 1

    I know in Australia, if guy next door has an apple tree, and the branches come over the fence, those branches - and any fruit on them - belong to you. You can cut them down, or if you don't mind it you can eat the fruit, whatever. Don't think you can make dude next door cut the branch off for you, as it is considered 'yours'. IANAL.

  7. Re:To quote the great Bob Saget on Fatty Foods May Cause Cocaine-Like Addiction · · Score: 1

    I should be able to make him a hamburger in cooking, and see if he pays me Tuesday. Wonder what would happen if I gave him the hamburger on Tuesday...

  8. Re:Radio? on EMI Cannot Unbundle Pink Floyd Songs · · Score: 1

    Someone up top mentioned a concert where they played three songs. Can't remember how long they said the concert went for, but they only played 3 songs. Kinda answers your question... kinda.

  9. Re:Emi on EMI Cannot Unbundle Pink Floyd Songs · · Score: 1

    Diff genre, however Green Day are doing that with their latest albums, American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown. Common theme in the songs, and most 'run' into each other.

  10. Re:Why is the wii controller even mentioned? on Accidental Wii Suicide · · Score: 1

    Boy? Seriously too hard to read the summary?

  11. Re:Kill Switch? on $1M Prize For Finding Cause of Unintended Acceleration · · Score: 1

    Haha, sounds like my mum, didn't realize her auto was in gear when she was trying to start it, called the RACV (breakdown service), fastest 'repair' ever! :D

  12. Re:Someone enlighten me on Newborns' Blood Used To Build Secret DNA Database · · Score: 1

    You should watch Gattacca. They don't *know* the person will die, just that mum died from cancer, therefore it's too risky cause it *runs in the family*. That's how I understood what he said, anyway.

  13. Re:Of course video games ruin people... on Another Study Attacks Violent Video Games, Claims To Be "Conclusive" · · Score: 1

    It's a known fact that bronze is 50% copper. One copper bar, and one tin bar makes two bronze bars. Geez. Where do you get your facts from? :P

  15. Re:Hmm on PA School Spied On Students Via School-Issued Laptop Webcams · · Score: 1

    I don't know how it works in America, but in Aussieland, you can't sign away your rights. Even if they signed something that said (and who would have signed, parents or the kids?) "I waive my 4th Amendment rights", the contract is not valid, and the school is still in the crap. I'm not a lawyer... ;)

  16. Re:Will the mines explore on Robots To Clear the Baltic Seafloor of WW-II Mines · · Score: 1

    I'm not being a pain on purpose, but the diver that got the cramp... how are we aware of the exact situation? If there was communication it would be kinda hard to say "oh! cramp, cramp! I am now straightening my leg... oh, it's hit the seabed and the mine is exploding...". If there was a video or something wouldn't that have been damaged in the blast? I have no experiance whatsoever, so I'm not calling BS or anything, just curious if someone would know. :)

  18. Re:The guy's right on Aussie Attorney General Says Gamers Are Scarier Than Biker Gangs · · Score: 1

    I'd always thought that a Trekkie was someone that got into Star Trek The Original Series, and a Trekker was someone that got into Trek via the other series... I'm not sure where I heard it, so it's probably wrong. :P But us Aussies do use "ie" and "o" a lot... "Did you see those bikies at the servo this arvo?" translates to "Did you see those bikers at the service station (gas station) this afternoon?".

    Why the hell is this flamebait? Bit too close to home for you, moderator?

  20. Re:This was an episode of House on Hearts Actually Can Break · · Score: 1

    Ep of Scrubs too. Woman's husband had died, and the good doctors couldn't work out what was wrong, until the hospital shrink came by. I found that interesting given (paraphrased quote from Bill, the creator of Scrubs) "everything you see on Scrubs are situations our consultants experianced in thier work as doctors". I can't remember the exact quote, sorry if it's horribly wrong, but it gets the point across.

    I thought there was no such thing as an ex-Marine... 'once a Marine, always a Marine'.

  22. Re:Note to /. readers... on What Are the Best Valentine's Day Stunts? · · Score: 1

    As a 'real woman', who isn't a geek, but likes geeks and geeky toys, my ideal V-Day gift would be the pair of funky steel-capped boots from Vic Gothic I've been eyeing off... functional and different from the rest of the boots at work. Then again, I'd have to get a boyfriend/lover/partner/husband first... (and make sure they all never meet, I know :).)

  23. Re:Time for.... on Silicon Valley VCs and the Gender Gap · · Score: 0, Redundant

    In defence, FSA isn't the kind of person PS wants to hang out with, if that is thier reaction. Not every female of similar age acts like your FSA, sounds like the bitch crowd from my old High School. If PS approached the right FSA there may be a totally diferent response. I know if a PS spoke to me (fat depressed friendless girl in school) I would not have said that. /shrug

    Thank you so much for being the first person I've seen on this site use the "n't" at the end of "could" to correctly convey how much you care about something. Thank you.

    Gotta be careful using newspaper to wrap glasses, or mugs / plates etc, if you can't unpack right away. The newsprint can be a pain to clean off, if it transfers onto the surfaces.
