  1. The gPhone has them (AT&T) scared on An Open-Source Java Port To iPhone? · · Score: 1

    This is so transparent.

    This has *NOTHING* to do with any Java anniversary.

    This is about competition, and that is good.

  2. Does it run on Windows? on The World's Biggest Botnets · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I thought so.

  3. I vote for a comet on Crater From 1908 Tunguska Blast Found · · Score: 2, Funny

    With the lake being the melted ice of the comet.

  4. Re:Upon further research, on Municipal Wi-Fi - A Promise Unfulfilled? · · Score: 1
    Or the problem is power, specifically lack thereof. In St. Louis, they were going to mount and power the APs on light poles. The problem was that the power was not on during the day.

    The project has been basically canceled, or scaled down.

  5. Re:Why? on Bypass Windows With Fast-Boot Technology · · Score: 1

    Plus, the Daylight Savings Time adjustment could not be changed.

  6. Re:P2P Email is the answer on US Wants Courts to OK Warrantless Email Snooping · · Score: 1

    Bingo. Dialup would be an issue, but not that much.

  7. Re:Sure... on The Economic Development of the Moon · · Score: 4, Funny

    Not to mention that you are free labor, and food to boot.

  8. Re:CHA on NASA Offering $2 Million Prize for Lunar Lander · · Score: 2, Funny
    I was just thinking a Ballmer flying chair could win this prize.

    Of course, we'd have to ship Ballmer to the moon, but that would be an easy problem to solve.

  9. Re:Kung Fu Style? on Storm Worm Strikes Back at Security Pros · · Score: 1

    They could spoof ICMP packets, just ask Comcast.

  10. Verizon, can you hear this news? on Aussie Claims Copper Broadband now 200x Faster · · Score: 1

    Oh, that's right, you're cutting all of your copper.

  11. Contact the users on Storm Worm Strikes Back at Security Pros · · Score: 2, Funny

    Have them shut down and re-install Windows (not recommended)
    or install GNU/Linux.

  12. Re:ALREADY HAPPENED (maybe) on Scientist Are Working to 'Steer' Hurricanes · · Score: 1

    I would agree that something happened with Katrina.
    There was an unexpected change of course, a jump so to speak.
    I suspect cloud seeding was at play.

  13. all it takes is one weak link on Famous Criminal Opines that Technology Breeds Crime · · Score: 2, Funny

    You can build all the security systems in the world; you can build the most sophisticated technology, and all it takes is one weak link -- someone who operates that technology -- to bring it all down."

    Quite right. That is why Microsoft is a weak link.

  14. Re:Semantic Nitpicking on Famous Criminal Opines that Technology Breeds Crime · · Score: 1

    Imagine? There is no imagine.

  15. Re:Nature of Things on Famous Criminal Opines that Technology Breeds Crime · · Score: 1

    Totally agree. Education is necessary and sufficient to solve the problems.

    But, I'd look at things this way:

    "Complexity Breeds Crime" *and* "Crime Feeds On Complexity".

    And as long as many Homo Sapiens are un-educated, they will be
    able to be exploited by others using that complexity and
    their ignorance against them.

    Yes, Technology is Complex, But Complexity has been around
    as long as there have been lawyers.

  16. It's called nominal on Long-lived Mars Rovers to Keep on Roving · · Score: 1

    As in, Microsoft Vista is not even nomimal.

    Until Vista End-Of-Life. Which will be before the rovers die.

  17. Re:Just don't trust the middle on EFF Interviewed About Their Case Against AT&T · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Face to face communication is actually
    the most secure communication possible, as long
    as you take normal precautions.

  18. Re:Strike three on Vonage Goes To Court III - The AT&T Suit · · Score: 1

    You assume that they have not been paid off to
    make sure they don't have a defense.

  19. Re:Factor on Standard Web Fonts 'Updated' In Vista · · Score: 1

    I would say that you are off by a factor of K.

  20. Re:Lets imagine that the public can sue the teleco on Senator Slaps Down FISA Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    True. But in one case, you have continuing secrecy
    and further erosion of your rights, and in the other
    the truth will likely come out.

    Which one would you rather pay for?

  21. Re:Nice to know... on Senator Slaps Down FISA Telecom Immunity · · Score: 5, Insightful
    No, he just cares about the Constitution and the Rule of Law. He is running for President, but even if he does not make it, he still wants the Constitution and the Rule of Law to be front and center in the world of political discussion.

    Until then, those that rented the hole will get
    what they paid for.
