  1. Re:Prior art on Diver Snaps First Photo of Fish Using Tools · · Score: 1

    Even with the umbrella, it'll still stay wet.

  2. Re:Two months ago? on Millions of Jellyfish Invade Nuclear Reactors · · Score: 1

    Not to worry. It'll be back again in a year or two.

  3. Re:The question that springs to mind is on SpaceX Sues Valador For Defamation · · Score: 2

    Here's a better link. http://www.spacenews.com/launch/110617-spacex-sues-expert-questioned-falcon.html
    Valador's VP who allegedly did this, has his background about halfway down.

  4. Re:Peers on Judges Berate Spammer For 'Incompetent' Litigation · · Score: 1

    According to Wikipedia and Linkedin, he was just hired as CEO of http://www.meinc.biz/AboutUs.aspx (and Wiki implies he took along IP purchased from SCO Group) http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=2173463&authType=name&authToken=0Ec_&locale=en_US&pvs=pp&trk=ppro_viewmore

  5. Re:Seconded, delete it. Don't look, fix, or help on Ask Slashdot: What To Do With Other People's Email? · · Score: 1

    I'm not the AC, but this might br what he was talking about http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/03/03/mildenhall_website/
      It sounded sort of familiar, so I googled it.

  6. Re:Location Redundancy? on Tornado Risk Seen For Social Security Data Center · · Score: 1

    I deal with SSA fairly often. I think they might have another facility in Illinois. At least that's where the calls went to on a couple of occasions when we lost connectivity, and I had to chase down the reason. These are mainframes using VTAM btw.

  7. Re:How do you steal moon rock? on NASA Sting Busts Woman Selling Purported Moon Rock · · Score: 1

    You made me actually RTFA, to see if the "U.S. provinces" meant I'd missed the annexation of Canada somehow.

  8. Re:42% would not repeat on Groupon Deal Costs Photographer a Year's Free Work · · Score: 1

    Looks like http://www.capturedlightimages.co.uk/ is his site.

  9. Re:VOIP? Router? on Murder Trial May Turn On Missing Router · · Score: 1

    If I was being tried for murder, and probably lost my job, I wouldn't go out of my way to help the company. Maybe he re-loaned it to someone else. Years ago, I left a large corporation and the head of security for the company came to my home wanting an Informer terminal I had loaned to a senior manager. I told the guy to go away, ask the head of tech support for the equipment, since he'd had it for 6 months.

  10. Re:Mission Accomplished on Osama Bin Laden Reported Dead, Body In US Hands · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Maybe announce each time that they are being buried in an unmarked grave wrapped in bacon? That might cut down on the religious fanatics.

  11. Re:A better idea on Rep. Bill Posey Introduces 'Back To the Moon' Bill · · Score: 1

    Perhaps Siberia was in reference to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popigai_crater

  12. Re:The joke's on you... on Pirated Android App Shames Freeloaders · · Score: 3, Funny

    Parrots are at Booty Bay. I think the eye patch and peg leg are rep rewards.

  13. Re:Hyperbole much? on Aussie PM Office Calls For Government Ban On Gmail, Hotmail · · Score: 1

    ummm...you read TFA? You must be new here ;)

  14. Re:I thought it was... on New Internal Cavity X-ray Technology for Airports · · Score: 1

    Wasn't the Fort Hood shooter an active military officer? Moot point for me, I stopped flying 10 years ago since I didn't enjoy it anymore.

  15. Re:If you are at work on WI Capitol Blocks Pro-Union Web Site · · Score: 1

    replying to myself to add a relevant link http://www.doa.state.wi.us/docs_view2.asp?docid=521

  16. Re:If you are at work on WI Capitol Blocks Pro-Union Web Site · · Score: 1

    I happen to work for the Wisconsin department (aka DET). I can confirm in our department, we are allowed to use the internet on our breaks or before/after work. Sites deemed inappropriate for work are blocked (and not the way TFA showed in the screenshot, but maybe that was due to using Chrome). Other departments have their own policies. Other than that I really can't comment. timothy (/. editor) likely knows as much or more about what's going on, since he lives in Madison.

  17. Re:Serious range disadvantage for naval warfare. on US Navy Breaks Laser Record · · Score: 1

    Maybe they could use an approach such as this: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/12/using-lasers-to-zap-mosquitoes/

    50-100 mosquitoes shot down per second.

  18. Re:Missed some on The Seven Types of Hackers · · Score: 2

    As of when I post this, noone has mentioned http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html and I rather doubt the author at infoworld has ever read it.

  19. Re:Assuming the Egyptian govt. cuts off people on Egypt Shuts Off All Internet Access · · Score: 1

    And this helped how?

  20. Assuming the Egyptian govt. cuts off people on Egypt Shuts Off All Internet Access · · Score: 1

    A better question would be, how can other countries be prevented from doing this? Let's assume the Egyptian government succeeds (my opinion atm). What could people in Yemen or Iran, for instance, do now to get around future blocks?

  21. Re:Uh, no on Italian Scientists Demonstrate Cold Fusion? · · Score: 1

    Can you lend me some sunblock?

  22. Re:More Boeing cancellations on US Scraps Virtual Fence Along Mexican Border · · Score: 1

    From the summary:
    "Boeing was hired in 2006"
    Napolitano was confirmed as Secretary on January 20, 2009. And if it had been shut down earlier, there would likely have been howls from the right wingers about being soft on illegal immigrants. I figure it takes at least a year or two to learn a new job myself.

  23. Re:George Barris on Evolution of the Batmobile · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the link. I used to see the original Batmobile being driven around Burbank Ca. in the 60s. And yes, I'm older than dirt :)

  24. Re:Calls for a libation on Oversupply Sends DRAM Prices To One-Year Low · · Score: 1

    Except they are funny, and should be enjoyed, and modded as such. You comment though, deserves -1 douche.

    Thank you for your anecdote. (undoing mod points too, oh well)
