    What do you mean? It was the plot of Episode 1 after all.

  5. Government? on Massachusetts Sues to Halt Defcon Subway Hacking Talk · · Score: 1

    So the contractors did shoddy work, supplied substandard materials, and it's the government's fault? Face it: any time there's a chance to cheap out on materials & workmanship, contractors will take it every single time to boost their profits.

  6. Re:Null = Void on Non-Compete Clauses Thrown Out In California · · Score: 1

    Rather like "aid and abet" and other legal double-barrelled terms.

  15. Re:Today's fun fact on Laptops With Certain NVidia Chips Failing · · Score: 1

    Don't be silly! Having companies *actually* fix their mistakes would drive them out of business through decreased profit and shareholder lawsuits! Can't have happy customers, etc.

  16. Re:Update on Sneaking Past Heavy-Handed Audio Compression on YouTube · · Score: 1

    Fine by me, the more they stamp out these stupid "videos" the better.

  17. Re:"green" vs "no upgrades" on $250 Freescale-Based "Green" "Cloud" Computer · · Score: 1

    Well, I've seen what damage a plain old taco can do to my insides, I can easily imagine that a more concentrated and noxious form such as taconite could be orders of magnitude more toxic!

    robotic overlords welcome YOU!

  22. Re:Excerice ball on Best Chair For Desktop Coding? · · Score: 1

    We had one at home back in the 80s, and it sucked. Your butt would go to sleep, it was hard to remain comfortable, etc. etc. I recommend going to a store and actually trying out a bunch of regular type chairs first.

    but whereas on OSX it downloads them to a nice ~/Downloads directory

    No it doesn't. It downloads to ~/Desktop by default. You have to change that yourself. (Unless 10.5 has a new folder that 10.4 doesn't)

    I like being able to see OVER traffic.

    This amuses me to no end, and I've heard it repeated from people at the Budget rental place as well as talking heads on TV. What possible use is seeing over traffic if you're still stuck in it? Are you following too closely and not paying attention to your surroundings or something?
