  1. Re:Of course. on TSA Defends Pat Down of 4-Year-Old Girl · · Score: 2

    I know, it's scary right? I was at my local train stop and tsa had set up a checkpoint. A dozen people with guns, and you couldn't pass without getting searched. This is in the middle o forage county California, where there re like a dozen riders at my stop! Does this mean they could also set up checkpoints at any bus stop, if they wanted? This would mean armed government checkpoints on every block of a city. Fourth amendment, please?

  2. Nationality of hackers? on VMware Confirms Source Code Leak · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Hmm, I wonder where the hackers are based, and if it is state sponsored. Software code is the bet industrial espionage, because you can re-implement it yourself. My prediction - keep an eye onn the market to see who's the first to release a VMware clone!

  3. Tor on Congress Considering CISPA Amendments · · Score: 1

    If only there were an option for those who don't want to be tracked by repressive governments...

  4. Re:Finally! on Valve's Steam & Games Coming To Linux · · Score: 0

    Troll harder, troll. The only reason why windoze and OSx feel any need for quality is because Linux is pressuring them mon the high end, showing computer users what they should demand in terms of system integrity and quality. Without it,you'd still be using the equivalent of XP.

  5. Re:Vindication on 'Gaia' Scientist Admits Mispredicting Rate of Climate Change · · Score: 1

    I don't understand why everybody fixates on what part of global warming is caused by humans. The operative question is, what portion of global warming ca NBC prevented by Hume nintervention, such as phasing out fossil fuels? Think of it this way - lets say the river in your town is swelling, and threatening to flood. Would you spend time arguing whether the swelling is due to nature or man? Or would you build a dyke. Would your decision to build a dyke be influenced by whose fault it is that the river is swelling?

    That's why they don't call it global warming, they call it climate change.

  7. Re:"Clean Room" implementation on Schmidt Testifies Android Did Not Use Sun's IP · · Score: 0

    I'm sorry, I disagree with you. It won't change the price of android for anybody in US, because everybody buys with carrier subsidies anyways. All phones will stick to the $99 / $199 / $299 price points.

  8. Re:"Clean Room" implementation on Schmidt Testifies Android Did Not Use Sun's IP · · Score: 1

    INow, what you have done might still be legal. That's what I'm hoping for in this case. However, it certainly isn't clean room.

    Why do you have a strong opinion for google or oracle in this case? I don't have a horse in the race, and I hope truth will out.

  9. Re:Time delay - info from the future? on Quantum Experiment Shows Effect Before Cause · · Score: 1

    Yes, it couldn't Alice and bob anticipate victors actions, by comparing the results of their polarization tests before victor had done his deed? This would essentially be "predicting the future".

  10. Time delay - info from the future? on Quantum Experiment Shows Effect Before Cause · · Score: 1

    The summary doesn't say what the time delay is between when Alice and bob measure their polarization and when victor makes his choice. Presumably it's on the order of femtoseconds or something. But imagine if the delay was longer, say microseconds - you could build transistors with this kind of feedback loop. Or imagine if you chained a million of them together in series, like on a cvd wafer or something. Then you start to seriously have a reverse-time information loop going!

  11. Re:Gasoline-like energy density on IBM Creates 'Breathing' High-Density Lithium-Air Battery · · Score: 1

    Let's look at it from a different, more productive way. Say 10 cents a mile fuel savings, $5k price differential. You make up the price differential after 50,000 miles, and save an additional $5k when your odometer rolls over. So the question is, how long do you plan on keeping your car? I tend to keep them mouth 150,000 miles, so it's a good bet for me.

    who flagged this as off topic? It's a humorous statement based on a specific quote in the article.

    i'll concede that maybe it wasn't the best joke, but there's no -1 unfunny. It's this kind of abuse of the moderation system that will sink slashdot.

    You mean, people who run any APK they find deserve to infect their friends and colleagues with nasty diseases? Cuz I can't say I agree with that sort of laissez fairs attitude. Surely in the name of public health we should expend a little effort helping those who won't help themselves.

    Yes, but for iPhone it would only work when you explicitly open the proof of concept app. It can't lurk in the background to grab your PINs

  16. Re:New Wave of Virus on Proof-of-Concept Android Trojan Uses Motion Sensors To Steal Passwords · · Score: 0

    No, the f a said the motion sensing algorithms would work in concept on an iPhone. But the malware vector doesn't exist, and the multitasking model would prevent this practice from running in the background. So, like all malware, this one is android only.

    We talk often about mobile viruses and I've become somewhat inured to it (another malware embedded in rogue angry birds? yawn). But this is scary, brave new world scary.
