    Early maritime was extremely superstitious.. Not that the landlubbers weren't/aren't

  2. Re:mixed feelings and abstract hate. on Apple Removes Gay Cure App From App Store · · Score: 1

    2. What about all the people who really, truly want to be cured of "gay?"

    They can run any old debugger, like macsbug, for instance.

    Did Al Bundy patent the Bundy Fountain? Of course not..

  5. What if you don't patent something on Robert Bunsen, Open Source Pioneer? · · Score: 1

    and then put it into the public domain. Does that make it impossible to patent?

  6. Very good on After Japan's Quake, Taiwan Helps Fill iPad 2 Supply-Chain Gaps · · Score: 1

    An iPad in very pot.. The only thing to fear is... As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense...

    Sounds like somebody put the bridge up for sale again. How many owners does the damn thing have by now?

    ok, that's enough

  8. Re:Ah, the Republican Party ... on Congressman Wants YouTube Video Covered Up · · Score: 1

    *sigh* You just led me back to my original premise... Thanks.. I guess.

  9. Re:Ah, the Republican Party ... on Congressman Wants YouTube Video Covered Up · · Score: 1

    That's like saying it's not a crime if your bullet bounces off their bulletproof vest.

    Well, it's certainly not murder, or even manslaughter..

    Anyway, bribery is slightly different. It's always a consensual act on both sides. Unlike assault.

  10. Re:Ah, the Republican Party ... on Congressman Wants YouTube Video Covered Up · · Score: 1

    Don't rap on the people giving the bribes. It should be perfectly legal to offer as much as you want. However, to accept one should be considered a capital offense. A politician that accepts a bribe should lose their license to steal.

  11. Re:epic FAIL on Samsung Keylogger Stories a False Alarm · · Score: 1

    Then we should all know where a keylogger will go if one is desired. It will only be uncovered by accident.

    How does a kernel debugger(de-bugger, interesting concept) detect hardware keyloggers on a chip?

  13. Re:Strangely, Japan doesn't seem to have such robo on US To Send Radiation-Hardened Robots To Japan · · Score: 1

    What was was I thinking?! I always forget that part.. Somebody has to die first.. and of course it has to be statistically significant.. It looks like they're handling the homeless situation even worse, or about as well as FEMA. You know. after thousands of years of this kind of thing, you'd think we would learn something from it. This market ideology has us sacrificing robustness for brittle efficiency. We would be so much farther along in handling natural events if not for that.

  14. Re:Good on Google Faces Privacy Audits For Next 20 Years · · Score: 1

    Oversight, over computer data.. hilarious!

  15. Re:Google, meet Samsung on Google Faces Privacy Audits For Next 20 Years · · Score: 1

    Yes, and it will be so easy enforce and verify.. What they got caught with so far amounts maybe to one one thousandth of what they have. This is a silly distraction. You will not have privacy on a networked computer.. never...

  16. Re:Here's a good question... on US To Send Radiation-Hardened Robots To Japan · · Score: 1

    ...the US isn't just going to muscle into an internal Japanese matter and tell a Japanese utility company what to do..

    The radiation is no longer an "internal" matter. I would justify a robot airdrop (so to speak) here more than dropping bombs on Libya. Only one presents a real threat

    First link was okay... It gets the point across on just how bungled this whole mess is.

    Japanese refused french robots...

    For real?

    I was using them as an example. Stay on topic here. The point is that we have machinery to deal with this (see AC's response below), and it's not being mobilized quickly enough due to negligent lack of preparation for mostly monetary purposes. It's completely inexcusable.

    Then they should have been on the first plane out...

    This is still a pisser... Complete negligence on the part of those with the resources to mitigate this.

    Money is the precise answer to "why not sooner". Obviously these machines could have been built in anticipation of this. But they decided cocaine and hookers are a better investment.

    A tragic lack of foresight here. All for the love of... There's no way to convince me this scenario wasn't anticipated, and dismissed as "absurd" or for "lack of funds". Damn people could have remote controlled bulldozers and back hoes to move the heavy shit, y'know, do actual work.

    Yes, my Windows machine runs exclusively Microsoft. None of that 'Firefooks' and 'Googlidoo' for me. Only Microsoft. Microsoft and Adobe. Yes, Microsoft and Adobe.. and Java.. these three programs I run on my Windows machine. There's no reason to run anything else. And your machine stays squeaky clean. For safe computing use only Microsoft recommended products. Four out of five dentists agree..
