  2. Re:WTF on Exploit Sales: the New Disclosure Debate · · Score: 2
    It's in the TFA:

    One difference this time around is that there are large piles of currency involved, not to mention the privacy, security–and in some cases, physical security–of people in countries around the world. Governments are buying exploits and using them for a variety of purposes. Some are using them to spy on their own citizens, while others are using them to attack their enemies’ networks. And government contractors and other private buyers are purchasing them for their own uses, as well.

    I liked it better when it was Mosaic and the other choices were ... nothing.

    But the fourth one stayed up! And that's what you're going to get, lad, the shittiest tablet in all of England.

    Where's my Mod Funny points when I need then?

  6. Re:For when... on Device Can Extract DNA With Full Genetic Data In Minutes · · Score: 3, Funny

    Guy comes into an ER unconscious. When he finally wakes up they ask him what happened.

    "I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife," he tells the doctor, "when she sliced her ball into a pasture of cows. We went to look for it, and I noticed one of the cows had something white in its rear end. I walked over and lifted up the tail, and sure enough, there was my wife's golf ball stuck right in the cow's butt. That's when I made my mistake."

    "What did you do?" asks the doctor.

    "Well, as I was standing there holding up the tail, I yelled to my wife, 'Hey, this looks like yours!'"

    Darn. I was waiting for a good joke.

  8. Re:Tape on Armstrong EKG Readings During Moon Landing Up For Auction · · Score: 1

    Interestingly enough, there are 18 minutes missing from the EKG. I understand Rose Mary Woods was the person who stored the EKG.

    I stand corrected. Shortly after my "smartass pedantry", I read further. My apologies.

    The "law" states that "Any headline which ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."

    There was a headline. It ended with a question mark. The answer is no.

    What part of that do you not understand?

  15. Re:Everything was fine yesterday.... on Was Google's Motorola Mobility Acquisition a Mistake? · · Score: 2

    I think a lot of people at the time of the purchase did raise that the price was too high. From other sources, who were also interested in the Motorola IP, the IP valuation I was hearing was ~$3B. Was the rest of Motorola worth $9B?

    That's been mitigated somewhat by selling a part of Motorola to the ARRIS Group for $2.2 billion in cash along with 10.6 million shares of its stock issued to Google. This is the "Motorola Home" group that makes cable set top boxes, etc.

  16. Re:The LCD monitor will make a lousy touchscreen on $5 Sensor Turns LCD Monitors Into Touchscreens · · Score: 5, Funny

    Some of things can be responsive to having a finger mashed against them and not sustain damage, even if they are soft and unprotected with a hard shell.

    Just ask your girlfriend.

    Think again about where you're posting this.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I can envision a day when the brains of brilliant men can be kept alive in the bodies of dumb people.

  20. Re:Don't they already have this? on DARPA Develops Non-GPS Navigation Chip · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Missiles have had inertial navigation systems for some time now. Where's the advance that brings this technology to regular consumers?

    DC8 jets had inertial navigation systems back in the '60s. You could fly from LAX to Tokyo without touching the controls and the plane would only be a few hundred yards off alignment from the runway. Not bad for a 5000+ mile flight.

    We need a series of browser plugin virii that will screw up apostrophes, change all plurals to pseudo-latin form and randomly leave out the harvard comma. It should also transpose all instances of loose and lose.
