    I believe what he is pointing out is that Siri actually gives you links to rehab centers if you ask for drugs.

    Major to me is an uncontrolled meltdown, with possible explosive decompression of the reactor vessel. Japan and Russia would qualify as major to me, with the Russian meltdown being much more destructive, and releasing much more radioactive crap.

    We could just use the date of the appearance of the star reported in the bible as leading the wise men to Jesus. :)

    The .here TLD you are talking about didn't make much sense to me either, but I think what you are looking for is .local which is what I was taught to use in MCSE classes.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-level_domain#Pseudo-domains

    The top-level pseudo domain local is required by the Zeroconf protocol. It is also used by many organizations internally, which may become a problem for those users as Zeroconf becomes more popular. Both site and internal have been suggested for private usage, but no consensus has emerged[citation needed].

    So apparently it isn't a standard, and can break zeroconf.

    The dart guns are especially fun. Think of a spring loaded gun that has a fishing reel on it. It shoots about 200 ft, then you can draw it in making cats go nuts. :)

    Free Press is suing Verizon over the exclusion of tethering apps in the market. This has to do with the c-block terms, and could mean much more if it is won.

    Morpheus: "We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power. It was believed they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun."

    Kind of a disturbing thought.

    It is either reliable or it isn't. What I pointed out was that in 2008, the climate model was inaccurate, so there was something they missed in the model.

  12. Re:Change cannot be stopped on The Case For Piracy · · Score: 1

    The problem that has arisen is, because of Disney, NOTHING will ever be public domain again. Every time "Steamboat Willie" comes close to becoming public domain, Disney pushes for copyright extensions in congress. What I don't particularly understand about this however is that "Steamboat Willie" doesn't make Disney any money, and Mickie Mouse is a trademark, so it isn't like they will lose their ownership of the trademark just because his first appearance becomes public domain. As long as copyright duration continue to be extended, the public domain loses.

    You mean what climate models have been doing reliably for 10 years?

    Last I heard, the last few years were unexpectedly cold compared to the models. So if they have been accurate for the past ten years, why was it unexpectedly cold the last few years? Oh, because you are talking out your ass, I see.

  14. Re:What happened to the constitution? on TSA Doing Random Truck Searches On Tennessee Highway · · Score: 1

    One of the major ways people died during the horse drawn carriage days was being run over by horses.

    If you are sitting in the drivers seat of a parked car, even on private property (if it isn't your own property) you can sure as hell get a ticket if you don't have a license.

    Also, I don't need a license to drive a tractor, but that sure can do more damage than a car. You are totally missing the point, it isn't about danger as all those things are pretty equal.

    What exactly about the iPhone is so much more usable than a Storm, or a Win Mo phone? I have had both, and neither needed to be rebooted more than once a week. Of course this doesn't bring in Android, but I am speaking of before iPhone time here.

    How about the damage you can cause at 25 mph? 5? There is still a license to drive even if the car is not moving. So therefore, it has nothing to do with damage (as you would be liable for the damage with out without a license).

    Surround the crew quarters with the water supply in a frozen state. Repair the damage quickly when it is noticed. Who cares about remote mining the moon, put people in a colony there with an escape ship just like the ISS. Radiation exposure is a non issue on the moon if you just build the living quarters underground. Moon gravity isn't the issue no gravity is, they just need to be more active, which is remarkably easier on the moon than freefall. You haven't given anything we can't solve. The ship can even spin portions in order to simulate gravity so that the null gravity on the trip is nullified.
