    seeing as though the site has be /.'ed, can anyone tell me what steers the rocket, coz I saw on a discovery channel that it's against the law for civilans to launch a guided rocket system.... can only be like a model rocket with no programmable trajectory

    Should be "Unlimited Usage 24/7" as long as you don't ACTUALLY use it......

  15. Re:Disgraceful on Comcast May Raise Prices On "Internet Hogs" · · Score: 1

    I think that it IS deceitful that they (and other ISPs) advertise "unlimited internet". Everytime I hear a comcast commercial on the radio, they're advertising on how much stuff you can get with "low cost, unlimited internet!" They're full of shit.

    As an aside, have you ever noticed that all the "unlimited" accounts have more limits than flat rate pay-what-you-use accounts??

    Normally they have D/L caps, only allowed 4 hours per session etc.

    I wonder if they have a dictionary to look up the term 'unlimited'

  20. Re:Bring something, know something on Fun with Fingerprint Readers · · Score: 1

    The average passcode is 4-5 digits long. Most people press the buttons with the index finger, making it trivial to shoulder-surf to figure out the passcode

    Maybe so, but if integrated with a scramble pad (numbers move to random squares on keypad)..using a 6+ digit code........

    This is usefull at places that use access-cards as well.. the "Bring Something, Know Something" ethos is a good one (but not foolproof)....
