  1. Re: pedometers, on Bluetooth 4.0 To Reach Devices In Fourth Quarter · · Score: 2, Funny

    FAIL, this devices do not pose any risk for the children. On the contrary, they are used for measuring how pedophile a person is, wirelessly, and can be used to protect children from the otherwise unnoticeable offenders, either human or running bear.

  2. Toys on What Happens In Vegas Happens In Afghanistan · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Remembers me of the movie Toys (1992), A military general inherits a toy making company and begins making war toys, and recruiting kids to "play" a war simulation game that was in fact a remote control of the real thing. It took less than ten years to make it happen.

  3. Re:When? before we all die on When Will AI Surpass Human Intelligence? · · Score: 1

    Is it going to happen before we annihilate ourselves in the next world war? We have been almost there already 50 years ago, nobody said we learned the lesson.

  4. Re:There's a leak? on Man Fined $1.5 Million For Leaked Mario Game · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Recentrly, Spain's Plumbers association honored Mario "For 28 Years Of Plumbing Accomplishments"

  5. Does it run linux? on The iPad Questions Apple Won't Answer · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Seriously, this is the only answer I would like to hear. For the rest, iPad is just a newer, bigger iPhone.

  6. Re:I really hate the GIMP UI changes. on GIMP 2.8 Will Sport a Redesigned UI · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The fact that you use focus-follows-mouse notes that you have a very special taste regarding GUI. Photoshop changed too, more or less in the same direction (less little windows floating all over)

  7. Re:right... on Plasma Jets Could Replace Dental Drills · · Score: 1

    I am a laser service engineer. Hard and soft tissue lasers become more and more cheap over the years, you can get a 400mJ Erbium YAG laser for less than 30.000 USD. A lot of my customers (dentists) agree that laser will be quite in every dentist office in less than ten years, at least here in Europe. Plasma jets are however still on the blackboard.

  8. Encryption on Only 27% of Organizations Use Encryption · · Score: 1

  9. 2K10 is not 2010 on SpamAssassin 2010 Bug · · Score: 1

    It is 2100... even if you don't like how 2k01 sounds.

  10. Look for another job, don't end up like Dilbert on Music While Programming? · · Score: 1

    I am late here, but I would suggest you to invest as much as you can from your spare time to look for a new job if you do not want to end up like Dilbert.

  11. Going 'Retro', Best copy protection ever on Not All iPods — Vinyl and Turntables Gain Sales · · Score: 1

    Besides the joke, I always thought that this vinyl resurrection is being promoted by the bad guys, it is of course not impossible, but far more difficult to copy than a CD. And even if you make a digital copy of it, you will never have the same (vinyl) thing.

  12. PML In-Wheel motors Mini on Electric Mini Cooper Has Rough Start · · Score: 2, Interesting

    According to TFA, this electric mini does not seem to be related to the one built by PML 3 years ago. The four in-wheel motors was an interesting approach. 640 bhp (477 kW), 60mph in 4.5s. With an integrated 250cc 2-cylinder four-stroke gas engine for long trips. (charging the batteries as you go).

  13. Same ones on In Motor Learning, New Brain Connections Form Rapidly · · Score: 1

    Coarse muscle control comes from your motor cortex, fine control and feedback loop for motor movement through the posterior lobe of your cerebellum. Driving a motor vehicle requires in fact a lot of motor coordination, most people can learn how to. Note, however, that making an intelligent joke in the first post requires a much more complicated mechanism.

  14. GNOME on LHC Has First Collisions After Years of Waiting · · Score: 4, Informative

    Some screenshots at the CERN site show GNOME's 'Clearlooks' window manager theme. At least BSOD will not be a source for further delays.

  15. Backdoor actually found! on Microsoft Denies It Built Backdoor Into Windows 7 · · Score: 2, Funny

    It is called Windows Update. MS can craft a special update for a determinate IP range and destroy any country's economy.

  16. Re:sweet on Fusion-io IoXtreme's Consumer-Class PCIe SSD — Impressive Throughput · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A lot of people feel their fast mechanical disks "instant" too. I guess that there are a lot of things you -can- do four times faster with this SSD than with the one you have. Killing mosquitoes with a gunshot is also fast.

  17. Laws on Intel and AMD Settle Antitrust, Patent Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    You don't care if you have a lot of money

  18. Why multiroom music? on Simple, Cost-Effective, Multiroom Audio? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    This makes sense in an office, or a dental clinic... but I don't understand why would someone want this in a house. What's next? a coffee machine in every room? Multiroom toilets? I think an iPod would do what you need, you can even get two iPods, one for you and another for your wife, she can listen to something else even in the same room!

  19. Re:Put the damn thing in neutral! on Toyotas Suddenly Accelerate; Owners Up In Arms · · Score: 1

    This behavior is needed to pass the emissions tests in most Europe. Here in Spain, after your car is four years old you have to bring your car to an authorized test workshop and among other things, have your gas emissions measured every year. My father has a Prius and pressing the gas pedal while the car is in neutral is the only way for the user to accelerate the gas engine without moving the car, thus generating exhaust gases.

  20. Art Industry on 100 Years of Copyright Hysteria · · Score: 1

    Since the invention of the printing press centuries ago, it was technology that made possible to make an industry from art. Now it is the same kind of technology that is taking away what it gave. We will have to live with the hysteria until someone comes up with something smarter.

  21. Re:What would BP be? on Artificial Heart Recipient Has No Pulse · · Score: 1

    It is more difficult to measure but it should be about the same, off course there won't be two systolic/diastolic values but just one value. The equivalent value could be calculated for a person given the systolic/diastolic values and beat rate. I guess that normally it would be in between, and closer to the systolic pressure.

  22. Wrap up the AP and your laptop with tin foil on Using Aluminum Oxide Paint To Secure Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    You will save a lot of paint and hassle.

  23. Re:Misleading on Auto-Detecting Malware? It's Possible · · Score: 1

    The 'micro' prefix comes from the greek mikrós, not latin, and it just means small, not 'very small'. Besides that, I agree, malware is here to stay, and it is also a huge business.

  24. Great idea, 'Lets ignore what it does' on Auto-Detecting Malware? It's Possible · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So we let the malware freely send itself to hundreds of other computers, steal our sensitive information, and then decide that something is wrong and remove it? Besides that, a lot of malware get's installed by unexperienced users that wanted ringtones/wallpapers/porn/games/porn/porn. Move along, there is nothing to detect.

  25. one thousand million 1Gb memory sticks on SKA Telescope To Provide a Billion PCs Worth of Processing · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many football fields could you cover with that.
