  1. Re:Not terribly surprising on Why Cell Phone Bans Don't Work · · Score: 1

    Forget about people using cell phones; what about drivers who have to look at the passenger they are talking to??

  2. Re:Bull fucking shit! on Why Cell Phone Bans Don't Work · · Score: 1

    Couldn't agree more old chap! :)

  3. Re:Cue the 1st amendment nuts on Ex-Marine Detained For Facebook Posts Deemed "Terrorist in Nature" · · Score: 1

    Of course who would be the first to complain if a terrorist act was committed and later it was found that such rants existed but no watch/action was taken on that individual? one doesn't have to go very far back in the past for examples! :(

  4. Re:"We have to expect this sort of thing"... on NASA Morpheus Lander Test Ends In Explosion · · Score: 1

    Yeah! Make sure you move the highly reactive He!! :/

  5. Re:Is that news? on How To Watch Internet TV Across International Borders · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not sure I want it to be news to noobs. If VPNs used by all, the "Powers That Be" will start screaming and try and shut stuff down.

  6. Re:Old idea, no new insight on Was Earth a Migratory Planet? · · Score: 1

    Yes! There have been better articles in Sci Am which indicate volcanic activity was sufficient to start the swing back from snowball earth; but that's not so exciting, is it?

  7. Re:Excellent... on Apple: Greenpeace's Cloud Critique Driven By Bogus Numbers · · Score: 2

    The problem in most small movements (IMHO) is that, over time, as goals are not obtained and the organization becomes more radical. I believe historical/sociological studies (if done) should confirm this. Frustration leads to radicalism!

  8. Re:Only if they reported it. on iPhone Users Sue AT&T For Letting Thieves Re-Activate Their Stolen Devices · · Score: 1

    Read "and had all of the necessary details (serial number, IMEI number, etc) that could uniquely identify their phones" Seems clear cut to me!

  9. Re:Autism on Lack of Vaccination Sends Babies In Oregon To the Hospital · · Score: 1
  10. Deja vu all over again? on Bogus Takedown Notice Lands $150k Settlement In Australian Court · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I could swear I've seen this earlier, like a week ago? Maybe my jet lag is worse than I thought!

  11. Re:That's why I like the basic Kindle on The eBook Backlash · · Score: 0

    The great advantage of the eBook to me is when I travel. As a voracious reader on, say a 2 month trip, book weight/volume used to make up a lot of my flight allowance, so the (basic) Kindle in particular is great, with my HP Touchpad a clear 2nd; keep that for magazines and vids. My complaint is that non fiction is not well represented in eBook format and that, given the saving to the publishers and distributors, the price is still high.

  12. Too true! on Are Rich People Less Moral? · · Score: 0

    Personal experience in or with private schools both here and in the UK would tend to confirm the findings. Even such things as "athletic supports" were "borrowed" at my old school; although I assume they were clean ones!
