  1. Re:Pressure-Metric Password on Contest Winners Show Potential For Pressure-Sensitive Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I'm sure if you're setting it up on your own machine you could adjust the tolerance. If company IT is setting it up, it's up to them to determine the tolerance, and maybe they don't want you logging in if you're not up to snuff.

  2. Re:Finally! on Contest Winners Show Potential For Pressure-Sensitive Keyboard · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm thinking of motion control in games, where pressing harder means going faster or hitting harder. I might sprain my fingers playing L4D though...

  3. Re:Just Remember. on Details On Worldwide Surveillance and Filtering · · Score: 1

    You forgot pedophiles!

    So we do it to protect the pedophiles?

  4. Re:So we can't afford Patrolling Police Officers.. on Real-LIfe Distributed-Snooping Web Game To Launch In Britain · · Score: 1

    They'll outlaw street theater... It's too disruptive.

    Like as not, good or bad, omnipresent surveillance WILL become a reality eventually. Technologies get cheaper and more readily available, and as long as SOMEONE wants to implement it it will be implemented. That is unless someone develops a countermeasure.

  7. What I want to know is... on Real-LIfe Distributed-Snooping Web Game To Launch In Britain · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What happens when a citizen volunteer spy reports on police or government officials breaking the law?

  8. Why not... on Cyber-criminal Left In Charge of Prison Computer Network · · Score: 1

    Why not just hire armed robbers to work as prison guards? I bet they'd do it for less...

  9. Let me guess on Fans Come Together To Complete Star Wars Uncut · · Score: 1

    This is because of the entropy thing, right?

  10. I must be tired. on New Graphical Representation of the Periodic Table · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I misread that as "New Geographical Representation of the Periodic Table". Made me go "Huh?"

  11. Re:Does this mean... cyborgs? on Startup Offers Pre-Built Biological Parts · · Score: 1

    So what you're saying is that they have a rudimentary DNA compiler with documentation?

    Yes, robots to eat the old people. A percentage is used to power the robots, the rest is automatically processed into Soylent Green. http://www.pinktentacle.com/2009/08/video-rescue-robot-does-not-eat-people/ http://scifiwire.com/2009/07/report-military-robots-ea.php

  13. Stargate Voyager on Stargate Universe · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nothing new, just a couple old plot devices shaken together. Still might be worth the watch; we'll just have to wait and see.

  14. Translation: on Legal Code In a Version Control System? · · Score: 1

    The law is far too complicated for mere mortals to understand. If we let you read it your head would explode.
    Let's face it; politicians think in terms of social interaction and perception (deception). If they thought in terms of logic and reality they would be coders.

  15. Re:What are the chances? on Cosmic Ray Intensity Reaches Highest Levels In 50 years · · Score: 1

    But can you whistle a 300 BAUD connection tone?

  16. Re:Any systems depend on a pulse on Artificial Heart Recipient Has No Pulse · · Score: 1

    As near as I can tell, the nervous system communicates mostly by pulse width modulation.

  17. Re:In a movie on Artificial Heart Recipient Has No Pulse · · Score: 1

    From what I've heard, it's assumed that the body works better with the pulsing pattern. It's supposed to keep blood vessels cleaner and more flexible or something.

  18. Re:Autodesk will lose on Company Uses DMCA To Take Down Second-Hand Software · · Score: 1

    Software companies often get around the first sale doctrine by claiming that what they're selling you isn't the physical CD with the software, but a non-transferable license to use that software.

    They did have access to the patent, according to the video.

    Actually I found a wife + kid distro that runs WoW in both apps. Unfortunately you need separate WoW accounts for both of these installations.

    TFA states that the materials in the chips were first used for writable optical media.

  24. Re:Qubit does not double power in traditional sens on A "Photon Machine Gun" For Quantum Computers · · Score: 1

    but no better than a classical computer for something like, say, a video game requiring finite mathematical calculations.

    What about Q-Bert?

  25. Re:Right to a jury?! on CA City Mulls Evading the Law On Red-Light Cameras · · Score: 1

    I've heard a judge (in court) claim that in traffic court the constitution does not apply. "Traffic court" and "traffic violation" are made-up classifications between crime and not-crime just like "enemy combatant" is a made up classification between soldier and civilian. This, of course, is done to prevent you from having the protections of either classification.
