  1. Re:Unforgivable! on Why the First Cowboy To Draw Always Gets Shot · · Score: 1

    So it's allowed in competition. That's not to say it's allowed whenever you go to the range. In Nashville, TN and in the Triangle area of NC I have yet to find a range that doesn't explicitly prohibit "quick draw" action during regular business hours. Would you want any yahoo to be able to come in to the lane next to yours and practice his quick-draw? Not me. Not unless they're trained and proficient. And the lane dividers are literally bulletproof.

  2. Be thankful it's not Christine. on Robotic Audi To Brave Pikes Peak Without a Driver · · Score: 1

    Although everyone knows all Audis are named Gretchen by default.

  3. Re:Unforgivable! on Why the First Cowboy To Draw Always Gets Shot · · Score: 1

    Most ranges explicitly disallow holster draws or other quick-shoot scenarios. Because in addition to being shocked at how fast the pros can squeeze 'em off, you'll put holes in your lower appendages or other unintended areas.

    That explains the odd tag. I did not want to know what "Hans' hot first" was all about.

  5. look at the picture accompanying TFA - it uses 3.5 on A Hybrid Approach For SSD Speed From Your 2TB HDD · · Score: 1

    This thing uses 3.5" drives, or you could slap it onto a 2.5" drive if you wanted to. The thing TAKES THE FORM OF a drive caddy - it is not a drive caddy.

  6. Re:Save your money... on A Hybrid Approach For SSD Speed From Your 2TB HDD · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't see where a 2.5" HD is required - 3.5" should be fine. The gizmo looks like a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter tray, but the HD is not installed in the gizmo.

    Besides, have you ever heard of a 2.5" 2TB drive?

    "always conflict free" until your sweetie finds out it didn't cost 3 months' salary. Then you're fucked. Or not, as the case may be.

  8. I thought the lady in the Palm Pre ads was CGI on Why the Uncanny Valley Doesn't Really Matter · · Score: 1

    Much to my surprise, she's real. Uncanny.

  9. Re:Want this in my car! on Sound Generator Lethal From 10 Meters · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "How about those assholes that honk their horns and flash their highbeams behind me when I'm doing 5 over the speed limit but think I should get out of the left lane anyway?"

    You should get out of the left lane unless you're passing someone. The left lane is for passing - you do not drive in that lane for any period of time or at any speed, unless passing. Why don't more people know/respect this law?

  10. Two words: on What Will Apple Do With Swedish Eye-Tracking Technology? · · Score: 1

    Bikini Team.

  11. Re:Retard. on Man Sues Neighbor For Not Turning Off His Wi-Fi · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm betting that if the neighbor merely stopped broadcasting his SSID, the "allergy" would cease.

  12. priorities on Can Imaging Technologies Save Us From Terrorists? · · Score: 1

    What I want to know, and what I've not seen addressed in the media, is the number of people apprehended at Schiphol that day trying to smuggle onboard small amounts of marijuana, hash, or seeds. I'd bet the number is not zero, which means they threw back the big one and pan-fried the little ones. Weird priorities.

  13. The twenteens, obviously. on The 87 Lamest Moments In Tech, 2000-2009 · · Score: 1

    Except for 2010-2013 - those will be the twentweens.

    Judaism is inherited from the mother. Christianity is inherited from the father, AFAIK.

  18. Turn up the Eagles, the neighbors are listening. on Copyright Time Bomb Set To Go Off · · Score: 1

    Eagles music should not require any copyright protection beyond that afforded to other forms of white noise. Very few forms of noise are whiter.

  19. Re:Easy strawmen to knock off?.. on NASA Attempts To Assuage 2012 Fears · · Score: 1

    From the feds' perspective, that's not really so much of a problem as long as they do it after April 15, 2012 and are paid up.

    Once you've got the hookers drunk and coked up, there's seldom any reason to hit them with a blackjack.

  21. Re:Do not want on Nationwide Shortage In Supply of Swine Flu Vaccine · · Score: 2, Informative

    Better analogy would be health care workers being FORCED to get the shot, just like they are FORCED to get the Hep B shot(s). If you have patient contact, you're vaccinated against Hep B. And in this season, you'd better be vaccinated against swine flu, too. Health care workers who have a problem taking their flu shot need to be dealt with just like pharmacists who refuse to dispense plan B or birth control pills - they need to find a new fucking profession.

  22. I wonder what would have happened on FBI Bringing Biometric Photo Scanning To North Carolina, Via DMV · · Score: 2, Insightful

    had the NC DMV told the FBI to kindly go Cheney itself when issued the request? Seems they are under no obligation to share, but chose to do so. Now I wonder what the NC DMV is getting from the Feds in return...
