  1. Re:O'rielly is just a guy on O'Reilly Lawyers Set Up Shop in the Patent Office · · Score: 1

    Looks like you need a book, one called a Dictionary.

  2. IMO on Kids with Cell Phones, How Young is Too Young? · · Score: 0

    IMO I really hate the person(s) who invented cell phones. The world was doing just fine without them and they havent really helped us in any large way.

  3. Re:TFA is well worth reading on Poincare Conjecture Proof Completed · · Score: 1

    Sure he makes $25 million per movie now, but I'm sure he didn't make $1 million for his first movie.

  4. Re:role-playing terrorists? on Biometric Terrorist Detector · · Score: 1
    A real lie-detector test (like the polygraph) ought to be able to tell the difference between nervousness and an actual sense of having told a lie. Otherwise this is worthless.

    Insightful?

    This thing:
    The Wall Street Journal has this story about a biometric airport security system which uses biometric responses -- blood pressure, pulse and sweat levels


    Polygraph:
    A polygraph (commonly and inaccurately referred to as a "lie detector") is a device which measures and records several physiological variables such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiration and skin conductivity


    You know, it kinda sounds like they're pretty much doing the exact same thing.

    Erm, RTFA, you're the dude who's trying to take down the Bullies, so . . what was your complaint again?

  6. Yea I'd say there's something wrong on Google Releases Analysis of Click-Fraud Detection · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We have seen some instances of reports showing 1.5 times the number of clicks in our logs - for example, in one case 1,278 clicks were claimed as being "fraudulent" by the consultant while only 850 actually even appeared as clicks in Google's logs.

    So how many total clicks did they claim to get including the fraudulent ones? Or are they claming >100% were fake, heh.

  7. Another Cache? on Bittorrent Implements Cache Discovery Protocol · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Azureus has supported JPC (http://www.joltid.com/index.php/peercache) for quite a while now.

    Because somehow when the vote doesn't turn out how they want it, the Democrats will say the Republicans somehow rigged the paper ballots too.

  12. It's not really a 'hack' per-se on Cell Phone Reception Hack · · Score: 3, Insightful

    All he does is use an external antenna, maybe if it fiddled with some of the phones internal settings I might call it a hack.

    Probably for the same reason Israel is targeting Lebanese civillians when their beef is with someone else.

    Oh yes, and I suppose those 130+ rockets Hizbollah just launched at Israel are guided by magic wishes and gumdrops so they dont hit Civilians?

  16. Not likely. on 'Perfect Storm' of Mac Sales on the Horizon? · · Score: 1

    I play games, games dont play on mac (Yes there are some games for mac, but the selection compared to PC is largely lacking), hence . . . no mac

  17. Re:Some catching up... on Debian to Run on AMD64 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Guess where Ubuntu got their 64-bit stuff from? Oh yea, Debian Unstable. This announcement is simply saying that the 64-bit stuff is moving into the stable tree. This isn't a "Debian now supports 64-bit!", it's a "Debian has supported pure 64-bit for quite a long time and now we're saying its ready for the stable branch"

  18. Re:Very good news! on Debian to Run on AMD64 · · Score: 4, Informative

    You know they've *had* 64bit support for quite a long time, this is just an announcement of it going into the stable branch.

  19. Re:Great! on Debian to Run on AMD64 · · Score: 4, Informative

    No, you have that backwards. Ubuntu takes their stuff out of Debian unstable which *has* had a Pure 64bit verion out for quite a long time. If you would of RTFA first instead of jumping on your Debian trolling bandwaggon you'd see that this is an announcement of moving that into stable.

  20. Re:O2 blocks TCP & UDP on Cell Phones Presage Future of Non-Neutral Internet · · Score: 4, Insightful

    O2 only allows HTTP and blocks TCP and UDP

    You mean HTTP runs on something besides TCP? That's news to me.

  21. I think . . . on HOPE Speaker Rombom Charged with Witness Tampering · · Score: 2, Informative
    I think all the Conspiracy Theorists from the last thread owe the rest of us a big apology.

    Lets take a look at some of the gems.

    nothing like a public arrest to keep the populac in line.
    I'm not saying that this arrest was for those purposes, but if you have large gathering of people who are all on the fringes of the law, a not so sutble way to remind them that they are being watched is arresting someone with a relatively high profile within the group.


    And this classic:

    Don't be a fruitcake. Given the present administration, if you don't presume they're violating civil liberties to the fullest extent possible shy of tipping over to police state, then you're a fool.
