  1. Re:If a Medical Doctor was involved in the collect on Who Owns Your Health Data? · · Score: 1

    Apparently, she didn't read the EULA.

  2. Re:this only applies to cloud providers on Senate Bill Rewrite Lets Feds Read Your E-mail Without Warrants · · Score: 1

    Problem with that is most ISP have blocked the standard email ports for home users just so they can't run a home email server.

  3. GPG for all on Senate Bill Rewrite Lets Feds Read Your E-mail Without Warrants · · Score: 1

    Hell, I ALWAYS assumed any agency could read my emails. That's why GPG is needed. No 3rd party cert signer, just me and the key I generated. I'm sure the NSA could brute force it if they wanted too, but I would have to be a real person of interest for them to waste the day or two their supercomputers would need to crack my key.

    I'm sure the CEO and COO spend more than that on Coke and Whores last weekend.

  7. Re:last post on Sandy Sinks HMS Bounty, Knocks Off Gawker Websites · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's very dangerous for a ship to be in port for a storm like this. Getting out to sea and out of it's path is the proper course of action. It just couldn't get out from in front of it's path quickly enough. And unlike newer ships that can withstand storms, a tallship like that didn't stand a chance.

  8. Next up.... on Researchers Develop Surveillance System That Can Watch & Predict · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Thought Police Alpha Version .501 right here. Arrest him!!!! Our system assumed he would shoot somebody.

  9. Moral on Paul Ceglia Arrested and Charged With Fraud Over Facebook Ownership Claims · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Don't try to defraud a company that works hand in hand with law enforcement to track and search people's patterns. Stick with defauding investors by selling bad mortgage instruments and nearly destroying the world economy. No one ever goes to jail for that, they just get a bailout.

    You leave Bob alone. Besides, I always used Einstein.

  11. Re:Not really on Microsoft Releases Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    XP search was sweet. One of the best features that I used daily. Win7 Search went to a cached based search to give the impression of instant results. OF course this meant your machine had to constantly be re-indexing your drive's contents. Search results were seldom what I wanted. And I lost the ability to search for string patterns inside of files. Win8 somehow fuqed it up even more..... gawd.

  12. Re:First post! on Microsoft Releases Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    You crazy kid you.... You want excitement? That was the day I got 2 mb RAM in my old DOS pc. I thought to myself, "Wow, I will never need another memory upgrade after this."

  13. Re:Actually doesn't really matter to it on Trouble For Microsoft Developers With the Windows Store · · Score: 1

    I have an used ipad gen 1 that was given to me as a gift. It's become by bedside clock and my go-to device for toilet gaming. That's about the extent of its use.

  14. hmmm on DoJ Investigating Samsung For Patent Abuse · · Score: 1

    Soooo..... DOJ is investigating a foreign company rising from BS complaints of the american company. Sounds like business as usual.

  15. Re:Well I'm going to patent this poke then. on Facebook Patents Pokes-Per-Minute Limits · · Score: 1

    Basic from an Atari 400/800.... ah yea... memories of manually coping in lines and lines of code into BASIC from one of those computing magazines in order play some crappy little game.

  16. The truth... on Experts Warn About Security Flaws In Airline Boarding Passes · · Score: 2

    This will be buried.... people will forget... and the TSA security theater will continue or even get stepped up to counter this little mishap.

  17. It's a good thing I grabbed this show when I did. I saw the sketch... it was a 'meh' sketch. Bruno was really good though, but it just didn't compare to previous music impersonation sketches like 'bunny business' or the much better Star Wars screentests. I wonder how often they've removed sketches before with music issues?

  18. If anyone actually came to me and said they "needed" one of these, they would instantly become the laughing stock of the company.

  19. Knowledge for free.... on Free Online Education Unwelcome In Minnesota · · Score: 1

    I didn't know about coursera until this article. I am excited to have access to this type of material. This site is perfect for people like me who want to gain knowledge in a field without the burden of a full university program. Its a free tutorial site on steroids. I don't understand the State's problem. This site isn't handing out degrees or anything. They probably fear for their 'monopoly' on higher education. Either way, I signed up for some Astronomy classes starting in a few weeks.

  20. Re:Balance on Shut Up and Play Nice: How the Western World Is Limiting Free Speech · · Score: 1

    So when they start rioting because we post videos of girls in bikini's, then that should be limited also because a woman who isn't covered head to toe is insulting? Where would it end. How about no videos showing a crucifix, becuase, you know, only islam is the one true religion, otherwise they might riot. How about no commercials about beef... oh wait, I don't remember india rioting over us serving up cow. They must have a semblance of self control and know how to act civilized.

  21. The only quote that matters. on Shut Up and Play Nice: How the Western World Is Limiting Free Speech · · Score: 1

    "I may not agree with what you say, sir. But I will defend, to my death, your right to say it". Period. End of discussion.

    GPG for Gmail at the very least.... Problem is getting the technically challenged to use GPG which doesn't lend itself to the grandmas and soccer moms of the world.

    How does that company stay in the black? Whatever, just goes to show how creative some people can be to get around an obstacle.

    I agree. What if half of the football stadiums burned down from a serial arsonist. Almost the whole, freaking country would loose their minds. And I would be sitting comfortably telling them, "It's just a game. It doesn't matter and is not really important to life in general".

  25. Will it never end? on Galaxy Tab Sales Ban Lifted, Samsung Sues Apple Over iPhone 5 · · Score: 2

    We need some brave and fatalistic politicians to finally revamp the entire patent system. When someone was able to patent a PB&J with the crusts cut off, for me, that's when this whole thing jumped the shark.
