  1. Re:16 hours? on Journalist Gets Blasted By the Pentagon's Pain Ray — Twice · · Score: 1

    I've heard that testing has shown that using a polishing cloth on a babagge machine will get a faster boot time than on a i7 motherborad.

    It sounds like the DOD got their parts from the local radio shack. I figure someone forgot what "mil-spec" applied to here.

  3. Re:future weapons ? on Journalist Gets Blasted By the Pentagon's Pain Ray — Twice · · Score: 1

    And I can't help but wonder if those two people would have been hurt just by their own actions. Tragic. Would this gun be useful for popping corn?

    Wouldn't it depend on were the Moon is? The Moons orbit is circular, but not a circle.

  5. Re:Faster than windows on Journalist Gets Blasted By the Pentagon's Pain Ray — Twice · · Score: 1

    Can I agree? Windows booting up is a minor issue.

  6. Re:Faster than windows on Journalist Gets Blasted By the Pentagon's Pain Ray — Twice · · Score: 1

    Did you boot before? or after Daylight Savings Time?

  7. Put It On The Moon? on South Africa Wins Science Panel's Backing To Host SKA Telescope · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't assembling the Teleoscope on the Moon give it a better chance of always having a "clear" time to view with? Using Robotics to assemble the componets and very few Human Tenders if any?

  8. Re:The carriers won't buy in on T-Mobile Exec Calls For End To Cell Phone Subsidies · · Score: 1

    To think of Cost is not foolish, to think of obaying ones Master is.

  9. Re:in other words... on T-Mobile Exec Calls For End To Cell Phone Subsidies · · Score: 1

    Business types use the term Discount, Coupon, and Rebate. The use of the word Subsidy was aimed at the Elderly Embittered Ones(EEO) of the audience. I have found that EEO's don't understand the use of Subsidies, but it bothers them.

    I have one question though. Did Cole-B just finish reading one of Lyman Frank Baum works, and thought that the Wizard living in the city of Oz had a great business model? And wasn't the Wizard a salesman from the mid west?

    I just had this flash back of watching South Park and how Martha Stewart ate a Turkey.

    Arabic is one of the finest languages for telling someone what they can do to themself. It's sad that it's wasted on the Arabs.

  12. Which is the Terrorist? on FBI Warns Congress of Terrorist Hacking · · Score: 1

    The suidial fanatic, or the grinning show off that is actively gaming the tax code?

  13. Re:Banned weaponry on DARPA-Funded 'Cheetah' Breaks Speed Record For Legged Robots · · Score: 1

    I believe Mr. Ronson presented that argument already.

  14. Cheetas in the Battle Field on DARPA-Funded 'Cheetah' Breaks Speed Record For Legged Robots · · Score: 1

    I think a real Cheeta with a controllable collar would be more useful. Even better, a swarm of collar controlled Rats.

  15. Re:Not smart Enough? on Scientists Say People Aren't Smart Enough For Democracy To Flourish · · Score: 1

    Well, cliniclly speaking, people aren't smart enough for just about anything; except for one thing they're very smart at. This one trait allows the ignorent ones to flourish while the more intellectual ones cannot. If one is truly ignorent, then they know what that one trait is that lets them live while others, more of everything cannot. And no, it's not Procreation, that's the second most successful trait of us ignorent one's capabilities.

    Really, there are few meals more better served with my morning swil than when it is served in the brain case of someone that cannot shutup.

  16. Isn't There A Game About This? on Asteroid Will Make Close Pass To Earth · · Score: 1

    Its been awhile, but I thought there was a game where one could discover the requirements for moving an Asteroid.

  17. Re:Good riddance on Asteroid Will Make Close Pass To Earth · · Score: 1

    I think a future victim could make an excellent case for debating on "point" the cost effectiveness for Asteroid Deterrent Defense.

    Now it makes more sense for the UN to controll all the worlds DMV's; thank you.

    Isn't "Intent" part of the definition of the destruction of evidence?

    Could it be that Torts are now cosidered before Civil Law? But what is a valid legal definition of what a News Reporter is?

    Why doesn't UN go after something that everyone hates, the local DMV!?

    An AC that actually claims to have made a child! I didn't think they were capable of comprehending the requirements of reproduction. Unbelieveable, show us what you spawned and allowed to wonder around untethered loving parents defendless children! But I don't think we need to see what the AC spawned with to make a next generation AC. Someone should contact the Smithsonian, this is definiely worthy of study.

    You need a Grant to get done what you want to get done when there's no more buget in the catagorical funds.

  24. Re:Supremacy Clause on State Legislatures Attempt To Limit TSA Searches · · Score: 1

    Last tme I checked, the TSA minions getting their jollies with our loved ones were not federal employees. And were also subject to criminal laws when a cop showed up. I'm personally hoping that all TSA employees are getting their more than fair share of radiation poising; that would be Karma.

    As a point of reference, when Mossad says, "that won't work," and the TSA disagrees, then I believe TSA is doing something NOT for anything lawful.
