  1. Re:Plaintext passwords? on Changing Customers Password Without Consent · · Score: 1

    Maybe he should make his new password "Lloyds security is pants"

    No, to make them regret their current policy and think about changing their ways he should change his password to something like:

    The summary skipped over the most remarkable feature- it's only 2-D!

    No, there is scientific consensus that Pluto shrunk due to global warming.

  4. Re:Gaaah! on 30 Years of the Lego Minifig · · Score: 1

    That 'toy' (which I regretfully bought for my son) made me vow to never buy anything without an actual off button built in (i.e. not using a hammer). The one we have will still go off when it's off the stand. I think the designer of that toy actually hates parents. As for the method of your revenge, if you don't want to give them the same type of toy back I can 'recommend' the 'Learn to Dress Elmo' (link). Revenge served cold.

  8. Re:A patent for what? on Digital Camera Powered By a Fuel Cell · · Score: 3, Funny

    what gives them the ability to patent "using a fuel cell in a camera"

    The exciting thing about these new fuel cells is the form factor- they are proposing fuel cells in the shape of a small cylinder, about 50 mm long by 14 mm diameter, with the positive and negative terminals on opposing ends. You can even use more than one in a device, by connecting them in series or parallel. Have no doubt that this innovative idea is worthy of a patent (at least from the current patent office).

  9. Re:GENIOUS iMoneyLaundry! on 8 People Buy "I Am Rich" iPhone App For $1,000 · · Score: 1

    What about conspiracy? Anyway if the cards are found to be stolen, I think the charges would be reveresed, and the programmer would wind up with no profit but a lot of explaining to do.

  10. Re:Security theatre on TSA To Allow Laptops In Approved Bags · · Score: 1

    I've flown twice in the last two years with a swiss army knife in my pocket without realizing it.

    That's ok, the Swiss are neutral.

    You must have had unusually incompetent screeners, or a plastic swiss army knife. I once had a security lady (and I'm using some words loosely- the word 'security' moreso) try to take away the key to my steering wheel lock because she thought it was a screwdriver. The key does have four 'keyed' sides to it, but does not look like a screwdriver to anyone even minimally competent. The other guard just looked disgusted and waved me through. She is probably his boss by now.

  15. Re:Holy crap I RTFA... on Pittsburgh Cancer Center Warns of Cell Phone Risks · · Score: 1

    I don't think the big bad Doctor is going to come to pry the phone from your cold dead fingers.

    No, it will probably be the EMT, based on the way people drive with their cell phones in their still warm fingers...

  16. Re:This is Stupid on Social Networking Sites Becoming Useful For Lawyers · · Score: 1

    How about ----- govt free taxis to drive drunk people home.

    How about ----- govt hires homeless and/or gang members to beat the crap out of people caught driving drunk.

    That would solve the drunk driving problem, and reduce other crimes at the same time. I bet you could find people willing to do it for free, or even pay for the privilege.

    A program which would reduce crime and might make money (and would probably be incrediby popular), I should run for office...

  17. Re:Even a consumer grade on GPS Tracking Device Beats Radar Gun in Court · · Score: 1

    The speed limit might have been 65 mph, so it's the difference between 10 and 11 mph. Usually they don't care if it's within 10 mph of the speed limit, unless they're really bored or they're below quota for the month.

    From what I could find, Obama only plans to cut the Constellaton program, which is Bush's plan to send people to Mars (I guess to search for oil or terrorists). He has stated he supports funding other programs (see spacepolitics.com for examples).

  21. This is great! on Mercedes To Phase Out Gasoline By 2015 · · Score: -1, Troll

    Most of the Mercedes I see seem to be fueled by inflated ego and poor driving skills. This will be a welcome change.

  22. Re:Dangerous slide on DHS Official Considered Shock Collars For Air Travelers · · Score: 1

    No, they just need to hack the system that controls the bracelets that the TSA will undoubtedly make the pilots wear (why not, they make the pilots go through security too). With the new security doors on the cockpit, it will be impossible for the flight crew to rescue the airplane.

  23. Overreaching prosecutor? on User Charged With Felony For Using Fake Name On MySpace · · Score: 1

    For those that don't read other news sites, there's actually more to this than mentioned in the summary (shocking, I know). This woman is accused of bullying a minor to the point where she (the minor) committed suicide, using this 'hacked' account pretending to be friend or peer of the girl. Absolutely disgusting case, if the allegations are true. Since she didn't actually physically murder the girl, it seems the prosecutors had trouble figuring out which crime(s) to charge her with. Of course there's more details, but I'm just summarizing. I couldn't load TFA, but it seems this is the best the DA could come up with- hopefully this won't set bad precedent.
