    But someone has to play it.

  2. Re:Who pays taxes? on State Senator Admits Cable Industry Helped Write Pro-Industry Legislation · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Does not matter if Republican or Democrat, he is an
    idiot. A corrupted brain, he needs to be removed from office.

    Sure, and you have just provided evidence that you did not RTFA.

  5. Re:It's Black Mold on 'Wi-Fi Illness' Spreads To Ontario Public Schools · · Score: 1

    You nailed it.

    Now the question is, does WIFI help black mold proliferate?

    Or is it just cost cutting?

    I thought SCO already got the patent on this.

    Check it out sometime. Don't equate adult military personnel with babies that don't think.

  9. Re:[Insert scary possibility] on Malicious Hardware Hacking May Be the Next Frontier · · Score: 1

    If you take a virgin mobo with virgin BIOS, and install Windows to the harddrive, and boot Windows, do you know if your BIOS has not been hacked? If the BIOS has been hacked, I would call that 'hacked hardware' at that point.

  10. Re:What about the insurance file? on WikiLeaks 'a Clear and Present Danger,' Says WaPo · · Score: 1

    Two points of note that most people are overlooking.

    1. The leak may have be intentional by DOD.

    2. The insurance file is likely already decrypted by DOD.

    Well, for a few more years until it melts from global warming.

  12. Livescript on Google Goes On Offensive vs. JavaScript Attacks · · Score: 1

  13. Re:radiation and solar flares a serious problem on When On the Moon and Mars, Move Underground · · Score: 1
    it's not obvious to me how you can have a habitat in space without being underground.

    It's been done before. It's called Earth.

  14. Re:Windows for SCADA? WTF?! on Malware Targets Shortcut Flaw In Windows, SCADA · · Score: 1

    The vector is the windows machine that is networked (stupidly)
    to older non windows boxen that do the SCADA work.

    In theory, an attacker could manipulate the SCADA machines
    and cause disruption.

  15. But it boils down to money. on Australia's Largest ISP Ditches Linux Mirror · · Score: 1

    NEW: BIGPOND OFFICE - BigPond Office is BigPond's alternative office suite. All BigPond customers can check it out at the BigPond Office website.

    BigPond has removed the OpenOffice software downloads to support the release of this new product.

    Note that BigPond Office was only compatible with Microsoft office.

    Sure looks like a Big Pond will be a small puddle in a couple of years.

  16. Re:The difference between Amazon and Netflix on Amazon Opposes Plan To End Saturday Mail Delivery · · Score: 1

    It would make much more sense to end Monday delivery.

    A lot of Mondays are already holidays anyway.

    Yes, 30 days sounds about right.

  21. Re:we were scooped on this one on A Battle of Wits On the Net's Effect On the Mind · · Score: 1

    The noise level here has definitely increased in the past decade.

    There are quite a few other good sites out there, but I'm not
    going to mention them because the trolls will head there.

    It would be nice if there was one mega-site that attracted
    the trolls and they constantly hung around there.

    Oh, wait!

    Have you not been paying attention the last 40 years?

    This is all about having an excuse for their machinations.

    They will blame the geeks in court.

    Probably outlast Microsoft for that matter.

  24. BP did screw up intentionally on BP's Final "Top Kill" Procedure For Gulf Oil Spill · · Score: 5, Insightful
    They did not follow procedure regarding the final cementing.

    Link

    BP hired a top oilfield service company to test the strength of cement linings on the Deepwater Horizon's well, but sent the firm's workers home 11 hours before the rig exploded April 20 without performing a final check that a top cementing company executive called "the only test that can really determine the actual effectiveness" of the well's seal.

    A spokesman for the testing firm, Schlumberger, said BP had a Schlumberger team and equipment for sending acoustic testing lines down the well "on standby" from April 18 to April 20. But BP never asked the Schlumberger crew to perform the acoustic test and sent its members back to Louisiana on a regularly scheduled helicopter flight at 11 a.m., Schlumberger spokesman Stephen T. Harris said.

    At a few minutes before 10 p.m., a belch of natural gas shot out of the well, up a riser pipe to the rig above, igniting massive explosions, killing 11 crewmembers and sending millions of gallons of crude oil into the Gulf. The rig's owner, Transocean, blames failed cement seals, installed by Halliburton, for the disastrous blowout.

    Criminal Negligence.

    Does Google Docs treat the year 1900 as a leap year?

    Microsoft is really really desperate to be blowing this kind of smoke.
