    I miss Seaquest too.

  2. Summary misses the point... again... on Introducing the NSA-Proof Crypto-Font · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yes, as anyone with half an ounce of sense will have already realised, no font will ever be NSA proof. The first mistake was publishing it on the internet...

    The creator is trying to make a point about privacy, not implement a workable solution.

  7. Do we have to call these things "X's laws"? on Aaron's Law Would Revamp Computer Fraud Penalties · · Score: 1

    Why does it have to be called Aaron's Law? If Wyden and Lofgren think something needs changing, can't they should do so on the argument's own merits, without invoking the name of a dead guy to tug at the heartstrings?

    Besides, I thought the main problem was the hyper-zealous way the prosecutors came after Schwarz, more than the actual law itself?

    You need to do double-blind testing to see whether you are really bothered by the LED flicker

    This is going to be a tricky one...

    The summary does imply that they are Jewish,

    Where? It says they're pro-Israel, that's all. One can be pro-Israel without being Jewish.

    Most of them do implement the standard ones. That's why they're called standards.

    Except that the terrorists are not jewish.

    Has anyone said they're not Jewish? Or that they are Jewish?

    It lookes like the slashdot editor (samzenpus) is either trying to discredit the jews on purpose

    How? By not implying that they're Jewish? The only person who's stated that they're Jewish is FatLitteMonkey.

    or is too stupid to write a decent summary.

    a) samzenpus didn't write it b) samzenpus probably didn't read it

    Lois got her friend, uh, Steve to recommend Clark to Perry to keep him off the scent. In fact, in the next film, she'll act like she never met him before that point, and that she doesn't know he's Superman, even when they're alone so the pretence becomes natural. Yeah, that'll do.

    Oh, and while I'm at it - what was Clark Kend doing in the Arctic (where he met Lois Lane). How did that happen?!

    Was "Arctic" ever specified? All I got was that they were on Canadian soil. Clark was already in Canada working at the bar where he overheard the two army guys talking about the Americans trying to dig up something from under the ice. That piqued his curiousity - showing his reporterly instincts - so he got a job on the base.

    Lois got him the job. It was previously established that his references were fake, so he could've added a fake journalism degree, or just got the job on the Pulitzer prize winner's recommendation.
