  1. Re:cough on The Ignominious Fall of Dell · · Score: 1

    Damit, I was going to say that! I think that one line made this company. I hate dell, as I type it into a Corp dell.

  2. Re:Sounds familiar. on Mom Arrested After Son Makes Dry Ice "Bombs" · · Score: 1

    It not just being curious enough to make the bombs, it is also being smart enough not to get caught.

  3. Re:I guess my "friends" weren't lying on Need a Friend? Rent One Online · · Score: 1

    Your mom was paying me also for the benifits part.

  7. Re:Done! on In NJ, Higher Tech Lowers Crime · · Score: 1

    Remember the one Robocop movie when his brain got hacked and he\it started beating up children?

  8. Re:Crime rate is lower in facilities... on In NJ, Higher Tech Lowers Crime · · Score: 1

    I love when there are surveillance cameras watching surveillance cameras. Since the cameras where being stolen.

  9. Re:Have they figured out the safety aspect? on Carbon Nanotube Batteries Pack More Punch · · Score: 1

    Who cares about safety in the lab? I say give Mythbusters some nano tube to make bombs out of.

  10. Re:YEAH! on Carbon Nanotube Batteries Pack More Punch · · Score: 1

    That seems green to me.

  11. Re:RACIST! on Study Shows Monkeys Like Watching TV · · Score: -1, Troll

    Your attempt at humor needs work. A lot of work.

    I bet they did the study by providing the monkey's in the city's jail with TVs. How about that for racism?

  12. Re:Scape Goat on LimeWire Sued Again, Publishers Seek $150,000 Per Song · · Score: 1

    No, that isn't true. I have new manufactured dragunov sniper from the US. In the user manual it explains how to calculate distance by placing a human in the Bullet Drop Compensator. Other scopes with Bullet Drop Compensators are similar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Distance_meas.png

  13. Re:Scape Goat on LimeWire Sued Again, Publishers Seek $150,000 Per Song · · Score: 1

    You must be old because you assume others are young. I did study the BetaMax, Napster, and other similar cases when I was in college.

  14. Re:Scape Goat on LimeWire Sued Again, Publishers Seek $150,000 Per Song · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The last time I checked. They have an agreement you must check that says you will not pirate media. Limewire has legal uses and illegal uses. If a product has a legal use, but the user uses it for an illegal use it isn't the manufacture’s fault, but the consumer who did the illegal action. That is why it is not illegal to make and sell guns, even though they can be used for crime.

  15. Scape Goat on LimeWire Sued Again, Publishers Seek $150,000 Per Song · · Score: 1

    Why not sue CD-Drive manufactures, for allowing cds to be downloaded to harddrives to be shared. Sue Cisco for allowing p2p traffic to go across their networks. Sue Microsoft just because they suck. Or you could work on adjusting your failing business structure.

  16. Bugs and easter egg on A Playable PAC-MAN On Google Doodle · · Score: 1

    They said they have the original bugs, I found that if you eat ghosts that are right next to each other, it will only eat one of them. Did anyone find the easter egg yet?

  17. More Ninja Schools on Ninjas Rescue Student From Muggers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I vote to have Ninja schools placed around street corners with high rates of muggings, or gun stores.

  18. White List Anyone? on Fake Antivirus Peddlers Outpacing Real AV Firms · · Score: 0

    Instead of listing all the bad programs, why don't they list all the good programs? If a virus has a lifespan of a few hours, the only way to prevent it other than figuring out how they are changing, is to white list all the good programs.

  19. Re:Speed? on The 1 Terabyte SSD Arrives · · Score: 0

    OCZ has the Z-Drive (ZDM841T) which is PCI-E and 1TB which is $3800. They use PCI-E to get around sata's speed limitation, and has a speed of 870MB/s read and 780MB/s write. It seems like that would be a better option, and it isn't new. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227500

  20. Re:Hopefully they aren't too effective.. on MIT Researchers Harness Viruses To Split Water · · Score: 0

    Zombie fishes. I love reading about viruses that may cause the zombie apocalypse.

  21. Top or T on Google Renames Itself "Topeka" · · Score: 0

    Is Gmail going to be Tmail? if so will my email address change to @Tmail.com?

  22. Nuclear Powered Mini Cooper on How Do You Land a Nuke-Powered Mini-Cooper On Mars? · · Score: 0

    Where exactly do you pick up a nuclear powered Mini Cooper? I when to the BMW dealership and they didn't have any in stock. I hope it gets good MPG. I wonder how long your tank can last for. I want mine turbo charged with rims.

  23. Done before on Does This Headline Know You're Reading It? · · Score: 0

    Hasn't this been done somewhere for security. IE: only what your eyes are looking at are in focus. Therefore anyone looking over your shoulder wouldn't be able to read a paragraph on your screen.

  24. Lenticular on Nintendo Announces 3D Successor of Nintendo DS · · Score: 1, Informative

    They have lenticular TVs. It is like the old playing cards that were 3d when you moved them. The screen just has to know where the pixels line up with the grid, and it can do math to shade the pixels to make it 3d. You lose 3x the resolution, and it makes you sick after a while. My old work had a 50 inch lenticular display. It made you sick after a while. Additionally there are viewing cones. Where you have to be at the right angle to see the 3d.

  25. Your may be thinking to much on How Do You Get Users To Read Error Messages? · · Score: 0

    I find there are really two scenarios: unknown error, or a known situation. Displaying an error really should be a default error by security principle. Let’s say you have a login screen. You would not want to have multiple errors: username does not exist, password is incorrect, and your account has been locked. You give a hacker the information that they have a proper username, and that their next attempts are in vain. By simply saying invalid credentials, you cover all cases. Additionally if you have a know situation, of system being used improperly you should either thrown a security exception, or handle the situation. You should create more of an information, or user manual on proper use and call it a day. If you have a global application wide catch for unhandled exceptions, you can log information and decided if the user should be logged out.
