  1. I'd like to see... on Valve Will Let Gamers Pick Games To Appear On Steam · · Score: 1

    Vendetta Online!!!!
    3d first person space combat(a la freelancer/xwing series/etc) MMO that runs on windows, mac, linux, and android tablets? Heck yeah.

  2. Re:Whats the difference... on Hackers Steal Keyless BMW In Under 3 Minutes · · Score: 1

    Those trucks are the worst. Especially when I'm on the motorcycle. Regardless of if they're running diesel or regular, but have them set up to run so rich they'll spew black smoke. So, if you're next to them, you aren't seen(because their mirrors don't work), if you're in front of them, they're tailgating you, and if you're behind them, you can't see shit and inhale 500 cigars worth of lung death. One started changing lanes into me(i had no shoulder to move over to) so i kicked their door hard as i could and laid on the horn(and hit the brakes. It was quite a maneuver). Still almost got sandwiched.

  3. Re:Do not call list on FTC To Revisit Robocall Menace · · Score: 1

    You know, I'd heard that happens to some people. Start writing down the numbers, and trying to get the company names. Go to the website and report it.
    My plan is to get a prepaid credit card with about $0.50 on it, and give them that number... Maybe with a fake billing address or something. Then, when the charge shows up, you know EXACTLY who's breaking the law.
    off to small claims, and call it a day.

    Anyone else want to join me on this?

  4. Do not call list on FTC To Revisit Robocall Menace · · Score: 1

    It helps. It's not perfect, believe me, and for the 30 days between when you register and you're officially on the list, it's hell, but... I'm down to 2-3 robocalls a month from 20-30(and for the 30 days, it was about 5-10 a day. I just didn't answer my phone for a month).

  5. Re:Is this new? on Executive Order Grants US Gov't New Powers Over Communication Systems · · Score: 1

    This is what I read it as, as well. Think of it this way, all you conspiracy nuts:
    Shit, the president's heli just got taken down by EMP
    *checks local map* There's a telecom company with hardened equipment half a mile away (inform them of capabilities and preparedness)
    *goes to telecom company, "siezes" the equipment to report what happened* (continuity of government, puts VP in charge)

    The actual wording makes it pretty clear what's going on. Basically says the DHS has to be the one to plan out how to communicate in the event of a national disaster, and is the group that keeps a database of ALL communication abilities of EVERYONE. Okay, slightly big-brother ish, but really... Not that big of a deal.

  6. Re:Why? on Why Were So Many "Crazy" Higgs Boson Stories Published? · · Score: 2

    Higgs-Boson Party at my house! Beer! Party hats! Quantum Physics! Whooo!

    ...I'm uncertain about Quantum Physics...

  7. Re:Expensive on Criminals Distribute Infected USB Sticks In Parking Lot · · Score: 1

    Except that, even though at my company the Active Directory .adm rules disable USB storage devices, there's still a lag time between plugging it in and having it disabled. I was able to pull a few files off a USB flash drive in that time, easy as pie.

  8. Re:Ssubatomic.. on 50th Anniversary of the Starfish Prime Nuclear Weapon Test Today · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind, the LHC was used to make heavy ions recently, lead I believe, so it may be a bit of a buzzword to some authors.
    I think the sentence structure is pretty solidly in my favor, too:
    "Generate" starts a list of items, however the way the list is presented is as such: "Light and heat" is 'one' item, followed by "X-rays and gamma rays" as a second item, then "subatomic particles" as the third item
    So, either it's a very poorly constructed list(which to be honest, it is a bit ambiguous), or my interpretation was correct.

  9. Ssubatomic.. on 50th Anniversary of the Starfish Prime Nuclear Weapon Test Today · · Score: 1

    Nukes also generate heat and light, plus vast amounts of X-rays and gamma rays – high-energy forms of light – as well as subatomic particles like electrons and heavy ions.
    subatomic ... heavy ions.
    Can we research big words before throwing them out to sound intellectual, please? kthx.

  10. Re:Swordfish on 3D Hacking Environment Links Kinect, Blender, and Metasploit · · Score: 2

    I distinctly remember seeing a c:\ prompt(DOS, usually), a Mac OS(trash can, quicktime, etc), Lex said it was Unix, and I remember them mentioning that they were 'supercomputers' which suggests CrayOS. In other words, the most retarded system ever created.
