  1. Directly Related to Law Enforcement? on FEMA Demands Use of IE To File Online Katrina Claims · · Score: 1

    Per Slashdot article just a few days ago:

    Alternative Browsers Impede Investigations

    http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/09/01/19 58220&tid=95&tid=17

    Could it be that FEMA is just aligning itself with Law Enforcement and Homeland Security needs?

  2. Heard This Story Here Before: on Coffee A Health Drink? · · Score: 1
  3. The Kind of Analysis that ... on Apple Campus Missing From MSN Earth · · Score: 1

    At least it only took a few replies to determine it was an 11-year old photo. Otherwise it would be the same in-depth analysis the military used for targeting Belgrade in 1999.

  4. HP3000 Keeps On Running on Retro Machines Key to Rescuing Old Data · · Score: 1

    Yes I have a couple in my garage. They still run whenever I turn them on. They even die a decade earlier than Unix machines. Am I worried? No. I can always lie to the machine and tell it is 31 October 1972 for all it cares.

  5. Oh Jeezz.. on Needle Free Injections With Microjets · · Score: 1

    I remember getting a dozen high pressure "needle free" injections in boot camp in 1974. Latinos had the worst of it, for some reason, they bled more.

  6. What About Grounding? on RFID Cards to Include Tin Foil Hats? · · Score: 1

    Don't Faraday cages have to be grounded to work?

  7. Hamsi/Hamsa -- Comme Si Comme Sa on New Worm Installs Sniffer · · Score: 1

    If you're liberal on the pronunciation of the last syllable, 'hamsi' is also a transliteration for Arabic numeral 5 (which most Turks also know via Islam.) Also the countdown starts with 5. No big significance there either, might as well be a fish.

  8. Hah! on Universal Emulators Return · · Score: 1

    Would never run MPE or MPE/iX!

  9. But What About OTHER Utilities? on Internet via the Power Grid, Again · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised water and sewage utilities haven't tried using the VLF/ULF band through its pipes! (Like the Navy does at sea. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.)

  10. Re:ahem.. on Build Your Own Weather Balloon · · Score: 1

    Rover will obviously take you to The Village where you will become A Prisoner and get interrogated by Number 2!

    I will not be pushed, filed, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered! (My life is my own.)

  11. URL Seems Dead Now on GeoURL: We Know Where You Live, Work and Blog! · · Score: 1

    This site has undergone /. effect.

    The link seems dead now.

  12. As If "Fruad" wasn't bad enough ... on Cryptome Log Subpoenaed · · Score: 1

    If "Fruad" wasn't bad enough by a government agency, you wouldn't believe how many people I've met that pronounce the Cryptome site as 'cryp-too-me' (not knowing the concatenation of the two words.)

  13. Re:CQ DX DE WB3IZT on "L33T" Speak Invades Schools · · Score: 1

    QSL

    Perhaps we can teach the old ACP-131 manual

    or shall I INT QRT?

  14. With HP it Isn't Just Printers on Printer Makers' Ploys · · Score: 1

    The PA8700 chip on the HP3000, HP has put
    some sort of "delay" feature that is not
    on the HP9000 Unix box.

  15. This is old on Wireless Pedal Power Computing in Laos · · Score: 1

    Read this story months ago.

  16. Fahrenheit 451 ??? on Get Ready For The Simputer · · Score: 1

    Computing for the illiterate?

    Where are the book people when you need them?

  17. Where is the Reference? on Baked Alaska · · Score: 1

    O.K. I click the link to the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline to find the reference to "are putting in supports" and all I find are pretty pictures. Where does it say they are putting in supports?

  18. Makes Me Wanna Play Outreach on Milky Way Inhospitable? · · Score: 1

    This makes me want to play an old SPI wargame
    called Outreach (1979). Where the players start
    out on the spiral arms. And yes, the galactic
    center was "inhospitable".

  19. I Love You, You Love Me.... on Testing Technology on a Veritable Army of Children? · · Score: 1

    I hope Barney(Bhar'nee) is not at the centre of this
    childrens get together...

  20. At Least It's Not SPAM on The SEC and Fake Investment Sites · · Score: 1

    At least the SEC isn't spamming also.

  21. Red Hat Will Be Junk Mail on Warnings to Red Hat about AOL Buyout · · Score: 1

    That's all I need, another AOL CD in the mail,
    but now it will also include Red Hat distro
    of Linux.

  22. Rivets on The Drone War · · Score: 1

    Time to break out my old Metagaming issue
    of the "Rivets" game. (A satire on the
    original "Ogre" game from the same company,
    now owned by Steve Jackson Games.)

  23. Celeron, Duron, Moron,,, on AMD Duron vs. Intel Celeron · · Score: 2, Funny

    When is some Far Eastern manufacturer with
    poor English (and marketing) skills going
    to come out with a chip called the 'Moron'?

  24. What To Call It? on Make Your Own DSL · · Score: 1

    Would you call it ... MyDSL?

  25. Things to Come on Fabulous Flying Machine Progress · · Score: 1

    Why do I get visions the old
    1930's move "Things to Come"
    or is it a different kind of
    Rocketeer? (And will it trim
    the bottoms of trees.)
