  1. What we need is ... on A Hotter Sun May Be Contributing To Global Warming · · Score: 1

    A really big heatsink. A Globalwin CAK-3452343443 ought to do it. Kinda noisy though.

  2. He sounds like a Burkean Conservative on Swarm Intelligence · · Score: 1

    A man is foolish, but the species is wise.

  3. I can hear the sound checks on Gibson's Digital Guitar Finally Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    Roadie - "I can't ping the guitar! Better reboot."
    Guitarist - "Man, that's kill my uptime."

  4. Talk about missing the point! on A 1974 Review of D&D · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "The scope is too grand, while the referee is expected to do too much in relation to the players ..."

    The beauty of D&D can be boiled down to two propositions:

    1. Anything can happen.
    2. The Dungeon Master is God (and a capricious one at that).

    This is why computer rpg's are, at best, pale imitations of a good pen and paper game.

  5. It's less a matter of bad policy than technology on Bookseller Purges Records to Avoid PATRIOT Act · · Score: 1

    The very fact that the government, or amazon, or whover, can scan your book purchasing history quickly and easily implies that they will ... it would require heroic restraint on the part of any government not to make use of the (nosy, instrusive) tools that the information age provides in order to "protect" the public.

    And there aint no heroes in Washington.

    Moral to this story: Expect everything purchase that you make to become part of the public record.

  6. It doesn't matter . . . on Buy a Segway... Please · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The Segway is just a ruse, a delaying tactic until the real Ginger is released. ;)

  7. Re:Texas Computer Crime on WarTalking Arrest · · Score: 1

    Interesting. So, according to definition 1 ("approach, instruct, communicate with,") it looks like simply using netstumbler to pick up wireless networks would, by itself, constitute illegal "access"???

    Sheesh!
