  1. Re:suppose we wanted to do something about it. Goa on Feds Operated Yet Another Secret Metadata Database Until 2013 · · Score: 1

    Jesus, I actually know what both of those organizations are...

  2. Signs and Portents on European Countries Seek Sweeping New Powers To Curb Terrorism · · Score: 1

    We have exited the steaming waters of the Acheron and now the maelstrom of the Lethe pulls on our prow.

  3. No Breath Holding on Eric Holder Severely Limits Civil Forfeiture · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'll bet this totally will stop the government from doing this stuff.

    Option 3: One or two Super aEgis 2 autonomous robotic gun turrets: dual articulating 12.7mm machine guns, a 40mm automatic grenade launcher topped off with an explosive mini-sabot cannon w/ ~2km effective radius.

    You know you love it.

  7. Re: Two Sides (of the mouth) on US Lawmakers Push For a Permanent Ban On Internet Access Taxes · · Score: 1

    The sad part is a tolerable federal government depends on the majority of the people being made of sterner stuff than we have become. The framers knew current events would eventually occur, just not how well the Constitution would stay the hand of those in power The worm turns.

  8. High tech Toy on Connected Gun Lets Anyone Watch What Or Who You Are Shooting · · Score: 1

    Unless the aiming assembly package has the ability to let environmental sensors which allow for real-time feeds along the whole path of the bullet, this won't be anything but a novelty. A very cool and expensive one, but still a toy.

  9. I think... on The Search For Starivores, Intelligent Life That Could Eat the Sun · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Stellarvore" would be the correct Latinisation. N'est-ce pas?

  10. Re:Ha on Sony Thinks You'll Pay $1200 For a Digital Walkman · · Score: 1, Funny

    They'd probably go APE if they knew about that.

  11. Re:Its a cost decision on Professor: Young People Are "Lost Generation" Who Can No Longer Fix Gadgets · · Score: 1

    JB weld is great stuff, I also like West System marine grade epoxy when I want a nonmetallic bonding material. Fiberglass powder and meshes where needed for structural reinforcement works insanely good.

  12. Re:IMPOSSIBLE. on 65% of Cancers Caused by Bad Luck, Not Genetics or Environment · · Score: 0

    Now I get the communist attraction to stone-washed 501s.

  13. SDR? on New App Detects Government Stingray Cell Phone Trackers · · Score: 0

    What is the frequency range of an IMEI snatcher...could the RTL-SDR (software defined radio) dongle with the correct firmware and antenna pinpoint these as well?

  14. Re:Professional, soulless dungeons vs. real played on The Making of a 1980s Dungeons & Dragons Module · · Score: 1

    I'd mod up except that whole me posting stuff already...and probably more, since the Erol Otus Basic and Expert sets were my vector into the whole RPG shebang. Then AD&D after that. The A1-A4 Slave Lords' setting were some of my favorites and I think they were designed for gaming specifically, I remember the test-characters names. Same with Tomb of Horrors and The Temple of Elemental Evil. But, the original I6: Ravenloft was mainly a story-driven session and it was best before all the back-story was added. Before Vampire: The Masquerade, Count Strahd von Zarovich was the shit.

  15. Re:It was a lot more social on The Making of a 1980s Dungeons & Dragons Module · · Score: 0

    OK Mark Rein-Hagen.

  16. Sphere of Annihilation in the Mouth on The Making of a 1980s Dungeons & Dragons Module · · Score: 1

    Most of the Expert (X# series) were damn good, like X1: The Isle of Dread and X2: Castle Amber. This one was completely underwhelming. PS I had to add the Tomb of Horrors trope somewhere...

  17. Re:Detecting Tachyons Is Very Hard on New Paper Claims Neutrino Is Likely a Faster-Than-Light Particle · · Score: 1
  18. Re:Welcome to foxdot.com on Did North Korea Really Attack Sony? · · Score: 2

    It seems that the entire story is pure speculation and its huge.

  19. Re:Many DDR3 modules? on Many DDR3 Modules Vulnerable To Bit Rot By a Simple Program · · Score: 1

    If the module is supercooled quickly after its removed, it can be minutes before RAM bits start to wipe. Even if they do, RAM bits "erode" in a predictable manner allowing for information to be rebuilt if not degraded enough after power-down.

  20. Re:Many DDR3 modules? on Many DDR3 Modules Vulnerable To Bit Rot By a Simple Program · · Score: 1

    Audio queen here, you probably mean double blind testing.

  21. Re:Hope they win this case. on Colorado Sued By Neighboring States Over Legal Pot · · Score: 1

    Yes.

  22. Re:Simple answer... on Colorado Sued By Neighboring States Over Legal Pot · · Score: 3, Interesting

    By mot doing so, Congress makes itself look weak..er. I have heard rumors in the county next to me in OR (I'm in WA) that last year there were a a lot of instances of jury nullification brought up in some marijuana cases. They either never carried all the jury or judges lied and intimidated the jury beforehand or after...illegally...but still effective. Not too long after that Measure 91 passed. Even just the rumor is an indication of a shifting awareness, go with the flow, D.C. and not look any wimpier than you already do.

    Also because more guns, less crime.
