    Only in movies. Don't underestimate stupidity and carelessness.

  2. Re:Dumbasses. on Amazon Patents Deducing Religion From Gift Wrap · · Score: 2

    Then you're a tiny, tiny, tiny error in their predictions and they don't care as long as their system works for 90% of the people.

  3. Re:The Soviets once reverse engineered our chips on Russia, Europe Seek Divorce From U.S. Tech Vendors · · Score: 1

    Clearly the russians are very good. There was a robotic competitions my school participated in, some simple path following on a checkerboard. The russians with their robot - seemingly assembled with 20 year old components - left everyone else in the dust. They have very good scientists and engineer.
    But the question for me is: do they date back from USSR, and does current Russia manage to educate more of them.

    > This is a Drupal module (PHP), so it *is* the code.
    Not necessarily ; see http://www.ioncube.com/
    That's a source code encryption tool that I've seen used several time in websites from clients of my hosting company.

  5. Re:danger, Will Robinson ! on Apple Files Patent For Fuel Cell Laptops · · Score: 1

    That's probably the only feature they won't try to patent. But probably have considered it anyway at some point.

  6. Re:7km/s on Paul Allen Launches Commercial Spaceship Project · · Score: 1

    It's counter-intuitive but, actually, with infinite time you eventually reach your destination.

  7. Re:They're just jealous on North Korea Threatens South Korea Over Christmas Lights · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    They're not jealous, they are green and not wasteful like the rest of the world. North Korea is single handedly fighting global warming and you still manage to criticize them?

  8. Flabbergasted on Another Dutch CA Hacked · · Score: 1

    Once I though that CA where serious business, with the biggest of them hosted in bunkers with complete security for the keys.
    Now I know it's just as secure as everything else on the net: as Lulzsec demonstrated this year, no security whatsoever.

    Now I'm just waiting to learn that nuclear missiles launch consoles are web applications with a "secure" javascript password check to protect them.

  9. Re:Ponies? on The Unique Candidates of the New Hampshire Primary · · Score: 1

    Then there's only one answer: an effort to build a massive pony cloning industry during his mandate. Not only would it fix unemployment, but it would give the USA valuable know-how in high tech like cloning and... PONIES!!!!!1!!

    > there's absolutely nothing in space* that could possibly justify this "cheap access"

    Hello ?! Earth to Anonymous, earth to anonymous. Have you seen rockets bring things from space back to earth in the past 50 years? No? I thought so.
    The money is in putting things INTO space ; so it's actually convenient that it's so empty.

  11. Joppani framework. on Ask Slashdot: One Framework To Rule Them All? · · Score: 1

    It's little know, but I'd really suggest you look into the Joppani PHP framework.
    It tries to approach Rails, but without massive libraries to include for each page that slow down you site to a crawl like some others do.

  12. Re:They've created an Us and Them situation... on Apple Can't Block US Sales of Samsung Devices · · Score: 1

    Enters Joe Average, browsing the Wallmart tablets: "Hey, look at all these iPads they have."
    To a non tech user, iPad is interchangeable for "Tablet". They'll buy Samsung or Apple or HTC or whatever as long as it has Youtube and Angrybirds.

  13. Re:They've created an Us and Them situation... on Apple Can't Block US Sales of Samsung Devices · · Score: 1

    I have a female coworker who does phone support and barelly know how to configure a POP mailbox in thunderbird and who knows Apples are jerks. Not only geeks talk about Apple. She owns an old iPhone, but finds Androids more convenient as they don't need iTunes to transfer files and musics.

  14. Re:this is good for national security on Apple Can't Block US Sales of Samsung Devices · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Samsung is South Korea. Every tablet they sell are one less tablet manufactured by Apple in good old USA!
    Oh wait...

  15. Re:PCI on Ask Slashdot: To Hack Or Not To Hack? · · Score: 1

    It's not a mon and pop website we are talking about but one that uses and store credit card informations. And users of the website don't know the CC and personal info s are not secure because there's not a big sign on the website saying "Hey, we got a dumbass sending us a mail about security flaws but we don't care about them ; just so you know!"
    Also, if a mom and pop store wants to let their customers pay with credit cards and not have to follow every contraint of PCI then there are lots of companies and bank who'll gladly sell them their secure online service.

  16. Re:Not Likely on Video Game Consoles Are 'Fundamentally Doomed,' Says Lord British · · Score: 1

    Mouse and keyboards for consoles have a really big handicap: you can't put them on the sofa with you and use them comfortably. I know, I tried.
    If you need to put your console under a desk to support the mouse and keyboard then you end up using a PC (a crippled one, where you can't install software freely).

  17. Re:Store war is next on Video Game Consoles Are 'Fundamentally Doomed,' Says Lord British · · Score: 1

    That war looks already won. People understanding gamers on one side - and reaping the benefits, execs and suits on the other - forever clueless...

  18. Re:Here we go full circle on Video Game Consoles Are 'Fundamentally Doomed,' Says Lord British · · Score: 1

    I agree that loading times are really a pain when I play some of my PS3 games. But to be fair, isn't it possible to put an SSD into the console to replace its HD?

  19. Re:Good on Video Game Consoles Are 'Fundamentally Doomed,' Says Lord British · · Score: 1

    Again the $ excuse. Any PC you buy at the local store - provided it doesn't have a crap intel graphic card - could run Skyrim. Skyrim's a console port, it doen't need a lot of horsepower.
    Your top end PC from 3 years back certainly could have run it.
    400$ video card? More like a 150$ one. Throw in an old Core 2 duo (why buy an i7 to play console ports ?), 4Gb of memory for a few bucks and Skyrim would be plenty happy.

  20. Re:Just a matter of time... on MIT Algorithm Predicts Red Light Runners · · Score: 4, Insightful

    One would think that they simply will wait all of the 2 seconds to check that the driver actually runs the red light.
    It's not like you can deploy a SWAT team in front of the driver in time to stop him from running the light and never know if he would actually have done it.

    Nonsense! That wouldn't be evil to do.

    I imagine the guy doesn't see anything wrong in informations being withold until it's urgent... But "everything urgent" sure sounds like the way most shop works, so I see how it seems natural to him to remove emails.
