  1. Re:POLICE STATE AMERICA on DOJ: Defendant Has No Standing To Oppose Use of Phone Records · · Score: 1

    Government doesn't lead, it would be wise if it followed.

  2. "..and will not record any video or photos." on Grocery Store "Smart Shelves" Will Identify Customers, Show Targeted Ads · · Score: 1

    That technology will come later?

    I don't know of a single person that wouldn't enjoy being constantly bombarded by directed ads while shopping; it just adds to the total "experience?".

  3. Re:I look forward on Elevated Radiation Claimed At Tokyo 2020 Olympic Venues · · Score: 1

    I heard that this Olympics will be the first where the Judges will be wearing radiaion suits, with a tie.

  4. Re:I just had to say this. on Obamacare Website Fixes Could Take Two Weeks Or Two Months · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one that thinks the ACA web site was Slash-Dotted?

  5. Re:So did it work? on UCSD Students Test Fire 3D-Printed Metal Rocket Engine · · Score: 1

    I'm impressed. I saw the welding job done on the engine, and marveled that the engine did work, and without killing anyone. Maybe the Tritons on the follow up class project can sign up for an elementry welding class at the local La Jolla High School ROP Welding Class.

    Good job Tritons, but seriously, there are cheap machines for that kind of welding that Boeing, and NASA have laying around doing nothing; borrow one.

  6. Re:$5000 gets you... on Cadillac Unveils Pricier Alternative To Tesla Model S · · Score: 1

    "...5) Support from a company that wont be out of business in 10 years..."

    GM had to make a choice, keep Saturn, or keep Buick. The Chinese liked Buick; GM's words, not mine. And the once ubiquitous Saturn, while affordable, is no more. Good job on that one GM?

    And another thing, it was Tesla that punched a hole in the Dealership wall, not GM. In this case, GM is the Camp Follower.

  7. Re:Attack? on Google ToS Change Means Your Photo Could Go In Ads · · Score: 1

    I still working on the part where someone can use my likeness without paying me. I think I'll use Larry Page, CEO of Google as a spokes women for transgender surgery coupons, it's for the children?

  8. Re:simple on Cost of Healthcare.gov: $634 Million — So Far · · Score: 0

    The reference to FaceBook is a little short sighted. The Zuck didn't have Billionares cock blocking him everywhere he turned. Also, the Zuck didn't have a proxy army of idiots screaming how bad his FaceBook would damage planet earth.

    But what I question is, "Why were the all servers all impacted at the same time?" There just isn't that many people in New Mexico.

  9. Speed is Everything on If Java Is Dying, It Sure Looks Awfully Healthy · · Score: 1

    If Python, Ruby, PHP, and Javascript were sled dogs, they would be following Java. and the view would never change.

    "Solo" means, "alone." :]

  11. Secrecy Through Obscurity? Really? on Guardian Ignores MI5 Warnings, Vows To 'Publish More Snowden Leaks' · · Score: 1

    I would assume that MI5 is staffed by reasonably competent folks. If they are curious enough about viewing their philosophy at work, they only need look at the western part of Pakistan, or what I affectionately refer to as the, "Paki Bad Lands." There, Ignorance is their god.

  12. Re:No, bad idea on Auto Makers To Standardize On Open Source · · Score: 1

    Just a thought, but is there a mas production car that one can electronically signal the car to turn, switch gears, and brake?

  13. Re:Geez, crumped the nose wheel and the prop! on Passenger Lands Plane After Pilot Collapses and Dies At the Controls · · Score: 4, Funny

    Cut that Sky Hawk right seater's shirt off his back! That fully qualifies as a "First Solo Flight!"

    My condolences to the family of the Aviator that passed away.

  14. Re:Hooray for fusion! on Two-Laser Boron Fusion Lights the Way To Radiation-Free Energy · · Score: 1

    This sounds cool, I wonder if this technique couldn't be applied to "clean up" radio active waste? And allow me to turn on the light in my bathroom?

  15. A Question About My Little Pony? on Red Cross Wants Consequences For Video-Game Mayhem · · Score: 1

    Is cooking one a war crime?

  16. Re:Cruel on Cyborg Cockroach Sparks Ethics Debate · · Score: 2

    I'm hoping that parents can fill out a permission slip to use another phone based o/s; "it's for the children."

  17. Re:Cochlear Implants on Ask Professor Kevin Fu About Medical Device Security · · Score: 1

    One cannot help but wonder as to being shown a "Password Secure" Syringe.

  18. Re:Google, really? on Could IBM's Watson Put Google In Jeopardy? · · Score: 1

    I think it means Dhar wants a job at IBM?

    I think the job interview in the movie "Gattaca" is what you're invisioning?

  21. Re:Moral dilemma for the IT community on US Intelligence Chief Defends Attempts To Break Tor · · Score: 1

    "James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence, says that the NSA tried to penetrate and compromise Tor"

    OK; so, what movies, did Jimmy-Clap, download before someone walked in and saw?

  22. Re:Thus: on Nvidia Removed Linux Driver Feature For Feature Parity With Windows · · Score: 1

    Both CEO's share one common streangth which has been used against them; their competitors beat them to market. And the investors are not fools either.

  23. Re:And we're reading about it here why? on US Forces Undertake Two African Raids, Capture Embassy Bombing Figure · · Score: 1

    Did the D.O.D. use Robots? Did they use Linux? Will this be in Battle Field 5? No? Yawn.

  24. Re:Thus: on Nvidia Removed Linux Driver Feature For Feature Parity With Windows · · Score: 1

    "kicking its ass"? About a $900,000,000 write down because of m$'s tablet demand.

    I would say that the CEO of m$, and the CEO of Apple will be dusting off their resumes soon. Why Apple's CEO? The Samsung Wrist Phone...

  25. Re:Got mine 2 years ago, why is this news now? on India's Billion User Biometric Odyssey · · Score: 1

    The one metric that is nearly impossible to duplicate is the Colon Scan, why didn't they use that?

    I can't help but wonder if isn't some 3rd world religious thing?
