    Of course, then he would have to only go to an apple-certified doctor to access them or he'd void his own warantee..

    Yes, true, but then there would be a small legion of hackers who wouldn't care and want to transplant his personality to their own fembot.

  5. I respectfully disagree on Medical Health Disclosure vs. Steve Jobs' Privacy · · Score: 4, Funny

    Steve Job's health records should be burned into the firmware of all new ipods.

  10. Re:The more I read the less I know... on SF Admin Gives Up Keys To Hijacked City Network · · Score: 1

    But the hero will be a down-on-his-luck gay single parent who obviously uses a Mac Book Pro to compute the primes needed to crack the passwords (while drinking a triple grande latte and eating a scone).

    Or a crashed alien that decides he needs the passwords and the best way to get them is to eat your brains through a straw put in a hole drilled in your head while you're asleep.

    I'm not sure what this has to do with a jailed sys admin, but I'm sure there's a link.

  12. Re:Problems... on Send the ISS To the Moon · · Score: 1

    Eventually someone is going to say.. Hey, this stuff costs a bajazillion dollars to build and $14,000 an ounce to get into orbit, maybe we should keep it in orbit and see if it can be reused?

    If that doesn't happen, maybe somebody else will scrap the stuff

    Once upon a time, a junkman had a dream...
    "I'm gonna build a spaceship, go to the moon, salvage all the junk that's up there, bring it back and sell it."
    So he put together a team. An ex-astronaut...a fuel expert...they built a rocketship...
    And they went to the moon. Who knows what they'll do next?

    As I say, reduce, reuse, and recycle. With Andy Griffith's help this will be possible with space equipment.

    There are ALREADY greens opposing windmills. They oppose hydro. They even find objections to geothermal and solar. All of that stuff is great when it is greens doing impractical but feel good pilot projects to show how superior THEY are...

    None of which stops the vast majority of them to go into a gas station to fill up their car.
