  1. Re:HTPC on What's the Best Way To Get Web Content To My TV? · · Score: 1

    I second the use of the Gyration Remotes. I love mine.

  2. Re:Rising sea level? on Disputed Island Disappears Into Sea · · Score: 1

    You aren't taking into effect erosion. As the rising sea passed a threshold erosion likely exacerbated. Think of water behind a dyke. As soon as a little water trickles over the edge, a small channel will grow quickly. In this case, if it weren't for climate change and the rising sea, the island might have been fine.

    "their BILLIONS of dollars in bonuses paid for by the US taxpayer" I'm no banker, but I believe you might need to findout how things actually played out. We loaned many of these banks money... and they paid us back... with interest. The only thing we did that supported the bonuses was made it particularly easy for them to do business in the form of keeping interest rates low. Am I afraid my income tax from this year is going directly to a banker at GS and not to fixing the pothole on Main street? No, not really.

    Yup. So in the future, feel free to kill people online, just make sure you don't rob from their cold dead corpses...

    In this case, it is a trump card. What you don't realize is that, yes, I did try to find actual data before posting. I failed to. I asked him to support his cause. He, and now you, also have failed to do so. If you have a point, make sure its a valid one... jackass...

    Further, please don't assume I support something one way or the other just because I ask for details...

  8. Re:Is it even necessary? on FCC/DOT Want High-Tech Cure For Distracted Driving · · Score: 1

    Your data goes through 2006. 'Analysis needed' to corroborate data which does not pertain to the topic at hand (which is recent data to show that a recent topic is or is not an issue)... Besides, what 'citation needed' really implies is that the poster simply supplies anecdotal evidence which does not prove any point. If you want to make a point, follow the data through to show some sort of actual causation or relation.

  9. Re:Is it even necessary? on FCC/DOT Want High-Tech Cure For Distracted Driving · · Score: 1

    Well, accident rates have been dropping steadily for years, so I'd have to think "no."

    [Citation Needed] Have fatalities been going down? Is this correlated with more safe automobiles? How about the number of crashes, not just fatalities? How about an age breakdown of drivers involved? Are younger drivers getting in marginally more crashes due to distractions while older, non texting drivers significantly less likely to get in a crash? You need details to support your cause...

  10. Re:So Where Exactly is this 'Leaked' Document? on Secret Copyright Treaty Leaks. It's Bad. Very Bad. · · Score: 1

    Actually, leak prevention 'watermarking' can be more than a straight image placed on the document. Example: selectively changing a few words in different combinations on every copy produced, such that the meaning of a text is not necessarily changed, but any leaked copy will directly implicate the leaker (anyone else read Clancy?). Perhaps, being a treaty this might not be possible (vs. use in classified documents), but who knows what they are actually using to prevent the leaks...

  11. No NTLM, no Respect on X11 Chrome Reportedly Outperforms Windows and Mac Versions · · Score: 1, Troll

    Until Chrome starts supporting NTLM, I know it will not get any respect at my firm, and likely many others....

    Last I checked the markets... a Canadian day was just about on par with a US day. What a weird world indeed!

  15. Re:and what if I don't *want* comments on my site? on Google SideWiki Brings Comments To Everyone · · Score: 1

    Similar issue with real estate. In fact I believe it is against realtors regulations to allow users to post comments on online real estate listings. The implications such comments could be drastic. If a single person tours an open house and finds (or claims to have found), say mold or structural damage, you can be damn sure that the traffic to the house will be reduced and/or the selling price will end being lower.

  18. Re:WTF isnt a space station permanent? on Panel Advises Longer Life For Space Station · · Score: 1

    Bigelow has great promise. The issue is that the company is effectively run via a single individual: Mr. Bigelow. The majority of his wealth is tied in with the terrestrial hotel industry, which, unfortunately hasn't been doing so hot in this Great Recession. As far as I've read, it'll likely be quite a while before anything gets off the ground again.
