    Don't scare me like that. TPB is up and running.

  3. What constitutes a phone? on For New Zealanders, No More Phones As Sat-Nav Devices · · Score: 1

    My phone has a SIM card. If I take that out, I can't use it as a phone. If I have a map file saved to the phone, I can still use it as a GPS. Is it still a phone if the SIM is out?

  4. Re:What's the deal with all these features? on For New Zealanders, No More Phones As Sat-Nav Devices · · Score: 1

    Or you could get one of those for free with a contract.

  6. Re:Exploding ipod? Don't worry! on Apple Tries To Gag Owner of Exploding iPod · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Don't add uranium. That would be a nuclear bomb and, therefore, be against the itunes terms.

  7. But that black paint... on HP the Victim of Enterprising Greenpeace Stunt · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... would cause more heat. That white roof is designed to reduce the amount of heat produced. When they added black to the roof, it just caused the roof to be inefficient. Looks like greenpeace is trying to increase the amount of carbon produced by air conditioning.

  8. Re:Possible flaw in the study on Security Certificate Warnings Don't Work · · Score: 1

    But then, if they used their own computers, they might think the observer told them to go to a website, so it should be safe. There is really no true way to test this, other than infecting computers with a trojan.
    No... That would target insecure individuals who don't know any better...

  9. Re:idea on How To Vet Clever Ideas Without Giving Them Away? · · Score: 1

    In the united states, there is a grace period, "one year from the date of first public use, sale, offer for sale, or publication". And if you get it notarized, you can prove that you had the idea first. Finding a notary shouldn't be a problem, because, AFAIK, most banks offer a notary for free to customers. http://robertplattbell.blogspot.com/2007/10/i-cant-afford-patent-now-what.html

    Just because the product doesn't need support, doesn't mean the customer doesn't.

  13. Re:well, duh. on Couple On the Run After 'Stealing' $6 Million · · Score: 1

    The average american income is only $45,421.68 according to Wolfram. At $100,000 a year, 6 million would last 60 years. As long as you take up a normal life, and don't blow your money, you shouldn't have to ever work again. I would probably want to invest some, or get a decent job to pay for other stuff so that I wouldn't have to go over my $100,000 a year limit though.

  14. WIN! on Google Releases Chrome V2.0 · · Score: 1

    And linktest failed, and slight skewing of the "Acid3" text. Other than that, it's perfect. It ended with 100/100 so I think it's pretty good.

  15. Re:You can update with "About Google Chrome" on Google Releases Chrome V2.0 · · Score: 1

    I am running windows 7, and I had to add "â"in-process-plugins" to my shortcut. I am not sure if it was because of this, or simply some other error, but chrome wouldn't update for me, even when I went to the "About Google Chrome". I uninstalled Chrome and then reinstalled from the new install file. When I uninstalled, it did not remove my personal settings and data, so I kept everything I had before, even my open tabs.

  16. Re:Can you only get apps through the App Store? on On iPhone, Searching For Kama Sutra = Porn · · Score: 1

    I don't think so, but I've never had an iPhone. I did a quick Google search, and it looks like you use a program on your computer.

  17. Re:Can you only get apps through the App Store? on On iPhone, Searching For Kama Sutra = Porn · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can get apps from a third party only if you jailbreak it.

  19. Re:Then why isn't this happening is rural areas? on Baby Monitors Killing Urban Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    I don't live in a rural area, but I have an orchard in my back yard. I had to get a new set of phones because the old one interfered with the wifi when I talked on it.
