  1. Finally! on New Privacy Threat: Automated Vehicle Occupancy Detection · · Score: 2

    It's a good thing the taxpayers are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to solve this incredible problem we all face every day... Oops, there goes another (cancer/malaria/etc.) victim.

  2. With all these cars killing people... on Open Source Mapping Software Shows Every Traffic Death On Earth · · Score: 1

    ...we need to pass new laws that prohibit people from buying cars. This is outrageous!

  3. Windows 8? on Windows 8: More EULA, Fewer Rights. · · Score: 2

    Is there anyone actually considering using Windows 8? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

  4. Percent usage shouldn't be the sole factor... on IE6 Almost Dead In the US · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, the percent of people that use IE6 shouldn't be the main factor is determining the time to celebrate. I work with hospitals, and many of the pieces of software hospitals use depends on IE6 which means that while less than 1% of the US is using IE6, the less than 1% that do, are handling very sensitive information. What if in that less than 1% of users were included missile control systems...suddenly less than 1% is 1% way too many.

  5. Completely useless! on Solar Panels For Your Pants · · Score: 1

    This is ridiculous...where do most of the people with small electronic devices that MIGHT consider something like this live? In big cities...with tall buildings that block almost all direct sunlight that would be available to convert to electricity. Not to mention that standing next to a bunch of people also lessens the amount of sunlight hitting the solar panels on these pants. These are purely a fashion/political statement and serve no practical function...NEXT!
