  1. Re:First Post? on Chicken Feathers May Hold Key To Hydrogen Storage · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How about if they ban First Posts from AC users...
    Until someone logged in has posted something - no AC's

    And if logged in users post "First post" nonsense - ban them.

  2. In Icelandic on On the Humble Default · · Score: 2, Informative

    In Icelandic
    It is "SjÃlfgefiÃ" or "Sjalfgefid"(since the special characters get fubar) which translated literally to English, would mean "Given by itself".

    I think it's a very old word, since it also can mean "taking something for granted".

    Different is probably a better word to use then "better".

    But I have no problem that this guy is "better" than me in being arrogant.

    If you want to teach women to swim, you have to throw them in the lake.

    Then copy Baron Berners who " upon hearing that you could teach a dog to swim by throwing him into water, the young Gerald promptly decided that by throwing his mother's dog out the window, he could teach it to fly."

    And soon we'll be out of parking spaces everywhere.

    Always seems funny when people want to point out nitpicking - and complain about it - which in turn makes them worse :)

    Seems you don't want to enforce the law ?
    Maybe you think it should be legal to park in front of fire hydrants...

    If you have a problem with the law - complain about the law - not ways of enforcing it. These people are doing their job.

    Not that I agree with the method - but why shouldn't they use technology to solve problems ?

  23. Re:Military required? on Spy Satellite Photos Used To Fight Drug Smugglers · · Score: 1

    The companies need the prisoners to do low labor cost jobs - so this will never happen. Unless maybe they legalize slavery again.

    also think of the security guards... what would they do ?

  24. Re:Military required? on Spy Satellite Photos Used To Fight Drug Smugglers · · Score: 1

    Don't know if it deserves the "war" status. But if you link drug addiction to drug availability - and drug availability to drug smuggling. Then I would say - yes it's a very big problem.

    It's not like they are deploying tanks... They are sharing photographs - like on google earth - but a little more precise and realtime.

    I'm reformatting my computer now. Win XP.

    Should be top priority to make that work 100%

    Can some software for linux connect to windows Remote Desktop ?
