  1. Apple's Data on Congressional Black Caucus Begs Apple For Its 'Trade Secret' Racial Data · · Score: 1

    It's Apple's data. Just because they collected it for the Feds doesn't mean it's belongs to the Feds.

    What could the population of Wikipedia users using the mobile app and looking at articles that have map info be on a given day? 12?

    Check out the Millennium Series by Stieg Larsson (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, et.all) and some Heinlein - Stranger in a Strang Land, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Starship Troopers.

  5. Re:This Is Pointless on US Open Government Sites To Close · · Score: 1

    Okay. You go do something else then. I'll be a financially-secure multimillionaire. It's going to suck so bad...

    "just plain old FUD."

    You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

  14. Sweet. Iron? on Google Upgrades Chrome To Beta For OS X, Linux · · Score: 1

    Now it's time for the Iron devs to get cracking.

  16. Re:Privacy? Huh? on US Couple Gets Prison Time For Internet Obscenity · · Score: 1

    The plural of "anecdote" is not "data" FYI.

  17. The road to hell is paved with good intentions on Paper Companies' Windfall of Unintended Consequences · · Score: 1

    This is what happens when government intervenes in the market. Rules controlling a dynamic system need to be dynamic, adaptive and self-regulating. Rules imposed by government will never be.

  18. Solar Time on Alternatives to Daylight Saving Time? · · Score: 1

    Calculate 12-noon for each day to be when the sun is highest. Program in variation for local municipal longitude. Bam. Good to go. For trains, computers, global schedule keeping, etc., use Zulu time.

    /me muses

    Wouldn't it be nice of Apple to port Cocoa and Carbon to Linux/X11/Xorg...

    It couldn't be *that* hard...

  23. Hardware and software... on Accurate Project Time Tracking? · · Score: 1

    I use a combination of hardware and software.

    I picked up a Black N' Red journal from Office Depot and I write down my immediate activities in it when I'm onsite. A Hipster PDA isn't quite the right format for me to use for this. Too impermanent what with all of its little index cards and such. :) I like using a bound journal. Later, when I have some time, I transcribe it (with times noted) into a scheduled "meeting" in SugarCRM which I have installed on my laptop. When it comes time for billing I just copy the text from all of my meetings and send it off to my supervisor. I could probably whip something up with OpenOffice and hax together my hours automatically, but I haven't been so inclined to figure out how to do that yet. :)

  24. Dangerous work on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 3, Interesting

    From the look of things, your "arena" can be pretty dangerous. How close have you come to killing yourselves or someone else in one of your episodes?

  25. Re:Sweet: just installed Beta 2 on Ubuntu Linux on OpenOffice 1.1.5 Released · · Score: 1

    The Ubuntu version is a more buggy release than what you can get from the OOo directly.
