  1. Luckily they are not their own judges on Facebook: the Law Says You Can't Have Your Data · · Score: 1

    What the law says will be determined in court. A company telling the law is on their side is really not news.

  2. Re:SEO is whitehat - and a good thing! on SEO Via DNS "Piggybacking" · · Score: 1

    That was informative. Sorry, I had a bit of prejudice against the whole business. Although I have to say I don't share your optimism about malicious tactics not working, as I see their signs in a lot of places.

  3. Re:e-ink tattoos on Looking For E-Ink Applications Beyond Ebook Readers · · Score: 1

    Why so negative, e-ink tattoos would be great when you have to change the name of your ex to your new girlfriend!

  4. Re:It's all about the Opinion on Dutch ISP Files Police Complaint Against Spamhaus · · Score: 1

    True, but here in Europe free speech is limited by e.g. libel laws. If the ISP can demonstrate that the claims were false and caused them damage then they have a chance to win.

  5. Re:Hmm... on Shady Reshipping Centers Exposed · · Score: 1

    You will still have to take the blame from the scam victim if the police finds you.

  6. Re:The mules are always the ones who pay on Shady Reshipping Centers Exposed · · Score: 1

    I don't think America can put any pressure on Russia. Their relations are not really friendly.

  7. Re:Shock Horror on Facebook: Your Personal Data is a Trade Secret · · Score: 1

    All you iSheep, Twits and FacePalmers. Go on, put your private life on teh intertubes for all to see.

    Just nitpicking, but Twitter can be made private, in wich case only the ones you approve will see your tweets. Also, unlike other companies, Twitter tried to defend its users privacy even in court.

  8. Re:Did that a year and a half ago on 3D Printer For Your Kids · · Score: 1

    Wow. Out of curiosity: how durable these objects are? Can they survive a kid?

  9. Re:HBO "Superheroes" documentary on these guys on Real Life Super Hero Arrested · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter what material you use, the drag is proportional to the area, wich is limited.

  10. Re:My hobby on SEO Via DNS "Piggybacking" · · Score: 1

    So are you saying that your kind has nothing to do with the automated posts on blogs/forums/comment walls all linking back to the home site for page rank? Or the top 100 keywords in hidden style on pages?

    Also, I don't spend that much time in front of the computer drunk, so if you are getting tons of spam it might be a follower of mine, or most likely just one of your "collegues".

  11. Re:HBO "Superheroes" documentary on these guys on Real Life Super Hero Arrested · · Score: 1

    I think it depends on your definition of 'gravity'. If you define it as a force pulling youto the ground, then yes. But there are many differences between rotation and gravity on Earth: for example, if you jump backward at the same speed as the station rotates, you can glide around like Superman.

  12. My hobby on SEO Via DNS "Piggybacking" · · Score: 2

    is signing up the contact emails of SEO companies to v1agr4 mailing lists. Fight spam with spam.

  13. Re:HBO "Superheroes" documentary on these guys on Real Life Super Hero Arrested · · Score: 1

    Well, you can't make wingsuits that allow you to land safely without a parachute and you can't make a vest that will protect you if you fall down from a scyscraper or resist automatic weapons for long. There a many fishy things in Batman.

    There isn't artifical gravity in space odyssey, they used rotation and velcro boots.

  14. What is surprising? on US Intelligence Mining Your Social Network Data · · Score: 1

    The things you put on the internet are there for the whole world to see.

  15. Re:Article is Wrong - Guy Has Become a Pest on Real Life Super Hero Arrested · · Score: 1

    They recorded it and while I'm not sure it does indeed looked like fighting. The police arrived later I believe. Also, he only used the spray in self-defence, after being hit, and after warning. He might have been wrong about those people fighting, but they did attack HIM, so it's not like they were innocent. As for knowing martial arts, I did not see him hitting anyone.

  16. Re:HBO "Superheroes" documentary on these guys on Real Life Super Hero Arrested · · Score: 1

    In Batman the writers just changed 'magic' for 'technology'. A lot of the stuff he has can't be bought IRL, not even for a fortune.

  17. Re:One Problem... on Opera Proposes Switching Browser Scrolling For 'Pages' · · Score: 1

    Pages are defined by the finite amount of mobile internet.

  18. Integration and standards on Opera Proposes Switching Browser Scrolling For 'Pages' · · Score: 1

    The reason is standardization. There are lots of websites with pages, but they use different methods to achieve that. If everyone used the same method than the user could decide whether they want pages or a scroll bar. Wich means that sites wouldn't have to bother sniffing if the user has a tablet, phone or pc, just serve the same content every time and let him decide.
    As for plugins, the philosophy of Opera was always to integrate every feature directly into the browser.

  19. Re:Law should be like code. Not up for interpretat on NYTimes Sues US Gov't To Know How It Interprets the PATRIOT Act · · Score: 1

    An interpretation is applying a logical system to specific real-world scenarios. It does not necessarily against a law, it might be just nontrivial to deduce. You can think of laws as axioms and interpretations as theorems. Although the analogy is bad as legal systems are not logical systems.

  20. Simple posing on Behind the Scenes: How Conflict Photographs Come To Be · · Score: 0

    Of course those people pose for photographers they know that that's an effective way of sending their message.

  21. Zoom! Enhance! on Adobe Demos Photo Unblurring At MAX 2011 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Of course. You can't get back more information than that is on the picture. But for a photograph it's enough that it looks good.

    Wich reminds me another similar algorithm that worked on human faces. It could restore very lowres images to a sharp, almost perfect face. It's just that face was completely different from the one on the original picture.

  22. Re:True, but that's still going to be a tough sell on Astronauts As Alien Life Hunters? · · Score: 1

    The title of the article is just being sensationalist. Truth is, human astronauts do better than robots in any research.

  23. Re:It's about money on High School Kills Color-Coded ID Program · · Score: 1

    A school measuring itself is in no way objective. Also, sadly, you need an incentive for schools to actually teach.

    it's a poor way to teach

    It's a method to determine who gets the money not a way of teaching.

  24. The death of Steve Jobs won't solve anything on Richard Stallman's Dissenting View of Steve Jobs · · Score: 1

    Apple is a company with a fanbase, not a person. The death of one man won't change the way they do business, nor dissolve the crowd of zealots.

    That said, someone had say something against the annoying personal cult of him. What happened in the news was completely blown out of proportion. He was not the most important person in technology, and was not an innovator. He was a businessman and a designer, who got most of his "innovative" ideas from the other Steve at Apple.

  25. Why fit in? on How Do You Educate a Prodigy? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    He seems to learn enough on his own.
