  1. Re:Bullcrap! on Former NSA Chief Warns Hackers Will Attack US If Snowden Is Captured · · Score: 1

    The whole point of it being posted is that it IS nonsense. It is pointing out that the former NSA chief is spewing nonsense.

  3. Number of re-writes? on Forget Flash: Resistive RAM Crams 1TB Onto Tiny Chip · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Do the memory points wear out after a certain number of re-writes?

  4. Re:Why bother with pupil dilation? on Paralyzed Patients "Speak" With Their Pupils · · Score: 1

    Was it your first ever attempt at neurofeedback? If so, of course you didn't do that great.

    Learning to take control of any kind of semi-autonomous response is easy if you can see some kind of visible measure of it. In this case it would be a monitor showing the feedback of your brain.

    I'm talking about the systems where you wear a sort of helmet or other headgear.

  6. Why bother with pupil dilation? on Paralyzed Patients "Speak" With Their Pupils · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Why don't they go straight to neurofeedback? The hardware is getting a lot less expensive.

  7. Re:Too late on The Old Reader Will Stay Open To the Public Thanks To US Corporation · · Score: 1

    They're welcome to know what webcomics I read, along with seditious blogs like Topless Robot, and knowing when HPMOR gets updated.

  8. Re:Low-tech solution on MIT Students Release Code To 3D-Print High Security Keys · · Score: 1

    All the best innovations are borrowed from nature, aren't they?

  9. Re:Low-tech solution on MIT Students Release Code To 3D-Print High Security Keys · · Score: 1

    There is no new thing under the sun. Any problem you run into, chances are that someone has had the same problem before.

  10. Re:Low-tech solution on MIT Students Release Code To 3D-Print High Security Keys · · Score: 1

    Granted, this won't help if someone gets physical access to the key.

  11. Low-tech solution on MIT Students Release Code To 3D-Print High Security Keys · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Make the keys so that there are sheaths around them, which can bend away on a spring when you need to use the key, or the key can come out of the end of the sheath. Or some other way to hide the tooth pattern when the key isn't being used.

    I already switched to Inoreader.

  13. Re:Que surprise? on Government Study Finds TSA Misconduct Up 26% In 3 Years · · Score: 1

    I'm actually very surprised that they allowed this report to be released.

  14. Re:The poem was already a perversion of the idea.. on FWD.us Remixes the Statue of Liberty Greeting · · Score: 1

    Unless you were born before the early 20th century when Irish were considered second-class citizens, I'd say your statement is a bit late.

  15. Re:I hope they really mean child on Google Aims To Cull Child Porn By Algorithm, Not Human Review · · Score: 1

    This is what I assumed.

    Your reboot was bad and you should feel bad!

  18. Wait, wait, wait. LEND? on Google Forbids Advertising On Glass · · Score: 1

    You can't LEND it to anyone? How strict is that? Do they mean you can't let someone try it out for a few minutes? And is that just for this first round of people, and they'll loosen the terms once it really goes public?

  19. Re:Good on Aaron Swartz Prosecution Team Claims Online Harassment · · Score: 1

    No. They were offering him a 6-month plea deal. He would have gotten six months only if he plead guilty. If he insisted on a trial, they would have gone after those 35 years.

  20. Re:3D printers will not be popular at any price on Gartner Says 3D Printers Will Cost Less Than $2,000 By 2016 · · Score: 1

    Isn't that what "niche market" means?

  21. Re:Best sound balance on V&A Scraps Napalm Death Gig For Fear Decibel Levels Will Damage Sculptures · · Score: 1

    Tennessee? I don't know. Sounds like an ominously high risk of the concert being for a country band.

  22. Best sound balance on V&A Scraps Napalm Death Gig For Fear Decibel Levels Will Damage Sculptures · · Score: 5, Funny

    Regular concert goers judge that the best sound balance is usually to be heard from within large concrete bunkers some thirty-seven miles away from the stage, whilst the musicians themselves play their instruments by remote control from within a heavily insulated spaceship which stays in orbit around the planet - or more frequently around a completely different planet.

  23. Re:Left wing bird cage liner on What If Manning Had Leaked To the New York Times? · · Score: 2

    Do you have any sources on when and where socialism works and when it doesn't?

  24. Re:Left wing bird cage liner on What If Manning Had Leaked To the New York Times? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Republicans are on the record as vowing to block anything the Obama attempts to do.
    http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/apr/26/democrats-gop-plot-obstruct-obama

    And yes, Obamacare is so socialist that it is virtually identical to a health care plan the the Republicans came up with several years back.

    Obama is not trying to take away your guns or your Second Amendment rights. If you had been paying attention, you would have realized that he's trying to take away your Fourth Amendment rights.

  25. Re:Left wing bird cage liner on What If Manning Had Leaked To the New York Times? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    We just think it's funny that you keep calling Obama a socialist. All it shows is that you have no clue what the word means. Obama is not a socialist. The American Socialist Party doesn't even think he's a socialist.

    I don't like or support Obama, but not because of his economic stance. The fact is that he'd be able to get a lot more done to help the country on the economic front if the Republicans weren't bound and determined to block everything he attempts to do.
