  1. Re:Define Scanning in... on IBM Speeds Storage With Flash: 10B Files In 43 Min · · Score: 1

    Maybe they are scanning them to see if they contain a 1 or a 0. That way they can claim insane numbers like 10B. Whatever a 10B is.

    "Dogs are quite capable of telling us that they want food already. "

    Amen brother. Even Lassie wanted somebody to open the fridge and was not indicating that miller Joe had broken a bone down by the river.

    You could tell Lassie was bored by that yawning bark, with having to write the script. and listening to "go get grandpa" all the time.

    If it weren't for the distilled water and fancy dog food, he would have run off.

    Agreed. It is so not like Anonymous to be 'responsible'

    They are just doing that to get attention.

    That's classified. Non classified material cannot get into classified places.

    Seriously, if they want security, then they should have "Tiger Teams" , that is people who try to breach security to FIND OUT if it is any good.

    I think that the operational flight software in an airplane should have to go though some kind of review as the last thing you want is a BSOD taking out the system in when the plane is in flight.

  7. Re:So what, they're still looking at you on TSA Body Scanners To Show Less Revealing Images · · Score: 1

    People still look a the naked body scans, they're just not doing it there in front of you any more. Scans are sent somewhere else to be examined. This is a total scam to appease the masses while still doing business as usual.

    Then of course you still have all the other issues mentioned in this thread.

    The best hope is for the scans to be published on the web.

  10. Re:Yes, trademark is dead, as of July 7, 2011 on Bitcoin Trademark Troll Now Sending Bogus DMCA Takedowns · · Score: 1

    The applicant explicitly abandoned the trademark "BITCOIN". They formally abandoned it on July 7 via the USPTO's online system, and immediately followed up with express mail. This is quite unusual. They'd only filed the application on June 30, and the USPTO hadn't even replied yet.

    It's dead.

    Lovely currency you have there. Shame if something should happen to it.

    If they had harnessed the wind, then it might have damped the bridge.

    How many of these "breakthroughs" are going to have to happen before I can actually buy something. It's like a breakthrough and not a breakthrough at the same time.

    As soon as they get 640k qbits. No one will ever need more than that.

    Except, in true American film style, it takes extreme liberties with the facts. It wasn't even filmed at Bletchley Park either - which was criminal IMO (supposedly Bletchley Park didn't look enough like Bletchley Park so they used Chicheley Hall instead).

    Because it is reasonable to assume someone intelligent committing a crime would leave the phone at home while it is much less likely that someone would take your phone surrupticiously and commit a crime while carrying it all before you have a chance to report it missing. The two situation aren't exactly comparable.
