    Had to go smoke a cigarette after reading that.

    I'll vouch for that.

    They won't unless it's genetically modified. They're not picky, but they know what they like.

  4. Re:Read-only switch for USB sticks? on Photo Kiosks Infecting Customers' USB Devices · · Score: 0

    They are pretty clever on their own. Raises another question though. What do coders do to combat writers block?

    When was there any security in the first place? You can't have security, but you can try to be secure. If that means being obscure sometimes, then so be it. Of course it doesn't work as the only policy.

    It might be a good idea to avoid giving virus writers crowd sourcing ideas. Just a thought.

  7. Re:Before People Scream Conspiracy... on Dutch Agency Admits Mistakes In UN Climate Report · · Score: 0

    who's counting anyway. I'm sure it's already near that point anyway.

  8. Re:what score did dead trees get? on Reading E-Books Takes Longer Than Reading Paper Books · · Score: 0

    My n800 was/is a godsend for that. I've been using it to study linux certification while on the go.

  9. Re:Do you hear that? on Price Shocks May Be Coming For Helium Supply · · Score: 0

    I thought it was an add for the next movie.

  10. Re:Finally on New Material Can Store Vast Amounts of Energy · · Score: 0

    I think they might jump on this a bit faster than 20 years from now. I hope they will anyway.

  11. Re:Skynet's inspiration on 'Robofish' Schools the Rest · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Little known fact, trust actually makes wine and crackers taste better than blind faith. I shouldn't say that, but I'm enjoying the separation of church and state for a little while.

    Nice! You should put that on a t-shirt.

    what's the difference between trust and blind faith again?

    god almighty, "something else" leaves a lot to the imagination. head for the hills its mecha-bp-oil-spill-godzilla, and he looks angry!

  17. Re:When will the government ever learn... on Spectral Imaging Reveals Jefferson Nixed 'Subjects' for 'Citizens' · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but it sure does make them look secret and official looking.

  18. Re:Buy local on Internet Sales Tax Gets a New Champion · · Score: 1

    Well, at least your local law enforcement seems to be doing its job. That should give you some jollies.

  19. Re:Taxation is the power to bankrupt on Internet Sales Tax Gets a New Champion · · Score: 1

    While I agree with what you are saying, I will stay out of politics for the next 15 years. For the last 15, I was as involved as I possibly could have been. Now, I'm just too confused to deal with it.

  20. Re:Legalize pot... on Internet Sales Tax Gets a New Champion · · Score: 1

    How about we legalize pot and tax cocaine instead?

    Perspective is everything. Good call.

  23. Re:There... Fixed that for you... on Poor Vision? There's an App For That · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can see how people might be upset. Still you can't blame everyone in the west for Apple's actions. Besides, why not just run it on android?

  24. Re:Applications, not issued patents on Microsoft's Health-y Patent Appetite · · Score: 1

    Applications still scare the crap out of me, especially when they involve giving my kid's medical records to microsoft, of all companies. I'm not one to bash MS all day, but I see how many vulnerabilities and exploits come out for them, and I would hate for these security holes to put a child at risk.

  25. Re:Why humanoid? on NASA Tests Hardware, Software On Armadillo Rocket · · Score: 1

    So if the robots break for whatever reason, how do we send a team up to accomplish their job with their tools? I'm not saying it's a bad idea, rather that to go with another form, it might take more development than the /. community is prepared for. Unless you would like to start with making /. a place for non humanoid robots. That might make for a good april fools day joke.
