  1. Think of the Dogs on 'Invisible Glass' Solves Screen Reflection Problems · · Score: 1

    And dogs everywhere cringe at this announcement. I know that my dog will hate me if this ever makes it to consumer windows.

  2. Re:Utterly reasonable on Pentagon Says Cyberattacks Can Count As Act of War · · Score: 1

    It really doesn't matter if its government actions or civilian actions, a country has a responsibility to enact and enforce laws to deter it's civilians from attaching other countries. Otherwise they will be safe harbors, like China and Russia. In the event of an attach by their citizens, if a safe harbor is not willing to cooperate with other nations we have to right to protect our infrastructure .

  3. Great fuel milage on Vans Drive Themselves Across the World · · Score: 1

    They only had to stop for 8 hours after every 2 to 3 hours of driving. That sounds like a freaking blast.

  4. Re:How about "Alice"? on Teaching Game Development To Fine Arts Students? · · Score: 1

    Actually Alice has the capability, but implementing it is far beyond their skill level. When my brother took an intro to programming class he used Alice. So I decided to download Alice and see what I could come up with. I am a developer by trade, so it was not too difficult to get some basic AI running, but my brother spent the semester basically creating a story.

  5. What are the odds on Woman Gets Driver's License After 950 Tries · · Score: 1

    With that many tries she should have been able to choose random answers and still pass the test with a 60% a long time ago

  6. Re:Does the state of California come with it? on Terminator Franchise To Be Auctioned Off · · Score: 4, Funny

    Actually, I think you inherit California's debt. That is why Halcyon had to file for chapter 11.

  7. Re:Really? on DVRs Help Some TV Shows Improve Ratings · · Score: 1

    Not as long as they are making money

  8. Re:Looking forward... Al Gore on Happy Birthday, Internet! · · Score: 1

    But can you really rely on snopes.com for the true answer?

  9. What a Great Plan on US House May Pass "Cap & Trade" Bill · · Score: 1

    For instance, it will be very tough for coal plants to reduce emissions at the outset of the program because the technology to capture and store carbon dioxide is not yet commercially available. It probably is 10 to 20 years away. So they will be buying offsets and buying allowances from other entities that will have an easier time

    Lets write laws now because the technology might be there in the future!
    This is brilliant, I can't find any flaws in this logic at all!

  10. OpenDNS on Comcast Intercepts and Redirects Port 53 Traffic · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A good friend of mine was using OpenDNS on Comcast and one day, without warning, his internet service was cut off.
    When he called the phone rep said that Comcast had disabled his internet because he was not using their DNS server and that if he wanted to have Comcast as a provider he had no choice but to use DNS servers provided by DHCP!

  11. The only thing better... on China Stops Restaurants From Serving Envenomed Chicken · · Score: 1

    would be snakes bitten to death by poisonous chickens

  12. Hurry... on Empirical Study Shows DRM Encourages Infringement · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The RIAA better discredit Dr. Akester before this gets pickup by a major news source.
    Actually I take that back. Everybody knows that there is now room for science and research when it comes to lobbying!
    What was I thinking?

  13. This is Crazy on Hackers Broke Into FAA Air Traffic Control Systems · · Score: 1

    This was just a partial look at the ATC's systems and these are the kinds of numbers that come up?

    "Our test identified a total of 763 high-risk, 504 medium-risk, and
    2,590 low-risk vulnerabilities, such as weak passwords and unprotected critical
    file folders."

    This is just unacceptable, and I bet this get little to no mainstream media attention.

  14. Make it Stop on Tokyo Scientists Create Mobile Slime · · Score: 1

    If this is a closed system inside the polymer, how does it stop?

    My physics knowledge says that this can not perpetuate indefinitely.
    My chemistry knowledge says that is this chemical reaction is oscillating now, it will be oscillating forever.

    My head hurts!

  15. What's The Catch on Time Warner Broadband Cap Trial Rescheduled In Texas · · Score: 1

    Why is Time Warner all of a sudden "listening" to the complaints of its customers?
    Does anyone else think that there has to be a catch?

  16. What will the Libs do? on Altered Organism Triples Solar Cell Efficiency · · Score: -1, Troll

    On the one side we have a better source of "green" energy
    On the other side we are going to have to kill a hell of a lot of living creatures to get this performance boost.

    This should be fun!

  17. Re:Nonsense on Linux Needs Critics · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Has the author of TFA looked at any linux websites or even /.? Linux has a wonderful bug list, most Linux forums are full of complaints and problems that need to be solved and our own /. community that has its fair share articles, and subsequent comments, registering the complaints and comparisons of various aspects of linux and its distributions.

    But everything I read on the internet has to be true

  19. Re:Yeah, April Fools... on Conficker Worm Strike Reports Start Rolling In · · Score: 5, Funny

    Did you try restarting your computer 3 times? That is what the tech guys at work always tell me to do.

  20. And Democrats Rejoice on CIA Expert Decries E-Voting Security · · Score: 5, Funny

    Looks like the old phrase "Vote Early, Vote Often" is going to become an automated process.
    That should save a lot of people some serious time and money

  21. Re:It gets better on BBC Hijacks 22,000 PCs In Botnet Demonstration · · Score: 3, Funny

    But it is all OK because they didn't have any "criminal intent."

    I wish I had known that was a valid argument during my little DUI incident.
    Live and Learn I guess.
