  6. Re:As immigrant in the US on NSA Has No Clue As To Scope of Snowden's Data Trove · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well your priorities see a little strange to me. Consider the dead, the wounded and the traumatized, the economical and structural damage of each of these actions:
    Iraq and Afghanistan wars
    Economic Meltdown/Fraud
    Health Insurance problems
    The NSA snooping

    The NSA snooping out of these strikes you as the most damaging to yourself, the USA and the world in general?
    Why?

  7. Re:Invest in nausea medication on Oculus Raises $75 Million To Make VR Headset · · Score: 1

    I worked with Jason Lanier's VPL stuff in the 80's and even then the amount of people that got motion sickness was negligible. But we where "flying" over and through wire-models so the immersion was less than complete. And the "helmet" weighed 12 kilo's/ 30 pounds iirc.

  8. Re:what? on Senators Propose Bill Prohibiting Phone Calls On Planes · · Score: 1

    "Burn the plane and boil the sea, you can't take my phone from me" fits better to the melody imo.

  12. Re:News for Luddites? Stuff That Fears? on Smart Cars: Too Distracting? · · Score: 1

    I have all that stuff in my mothers basement, but she's been trying to explain that building it into a 1200 pound 100 mph machine and sharing the road with others while driven to distraction might be viewed as "anti-social" or even "sociopathic", and I'm like whatever mom. Maybe you could have a word with her?

  13. Waist high snow *at least*. on Life Could Have Evolved 15 Million Years After the Big Bang, Says Cosmologist · · Score: 1

    But somewhere along the road, it must have been between 273 and 300 Kelvin, just right to keep water in liquid form.

  14. Don't. on Snowden Document Shows Canada Set Up Spy Posts For NSA · · Score: 1

    There is no higher praise.
    It's like being called a traitor by Dick Cheney ; ).

    On the other hand the amount of surprise at these revelations is surprising. Where is peoples sense of history? Remember the second world war (Axis and Allies anyone?) and extrapolate from that incorporating the events since.

  22. Re:DHS Kill Switch? on Court: Homeland Security Must Disclose 'Internet Kill Switch' · · Score: 1

    The agency argues that SOP 303's disclosure could reasonably be expected to endanger the physical safety of individuals near unexploded bombs. Mot. at 13. DHS's thinking goes like this: 1) SOP 303 "describes a procedure for shutting down wireless networks to prevent bombings": 2) releasing information regarding this protocol would enable "bad actors" to blunt its usefulness": and 3) this "could reasonably be expected to endanger the physical safety of those near a bomb by increasing the chances that the process will fail and the bomb will explode".

  23. Intellectual property is a hoax. on WikiLeaks Releases the Secret Draft Text of the TPP IP Rights Chapter · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Property versus Knowledge
    Property can be held, physically possessed.
    It is easy to see who possesses a piece of property. Knowledge cannot be physically possessed. It can only be known.
    When I take property from you, you no longer have it.
    It is easy to see that property is (or can be) exclusive, or what the legal beagles call "rivalrous", a zero-sum game. To the extent that one person uses it, they limit the amount that another person can use it. Knowledge cannot be taken away from you; when I learn some knowledge that you know, you still know it.
    Property has a clear origin; you start with raw materials, sometimes you you add labour.
    It is easy to see where property came from. It is easy to trace the movements of a piece of property. Knowledge doesn't have a clear origin; it is all derived from existing human culture and knowledge.

  24. I/O and the internet. Turkey is the State. on How Silicon Valley Helped the NSA · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea
    In a beautiful pea-green boat,
    They took some honey, and plenty of money,
    Wrapped up in a five pound note.
    The Owl looked up to the stars above,
    And sang to a small guitar,
    "O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
    What a beautiful Pussy you are, you are, you are,
    What a beautiful Pussy you are."
    Pussy said to the Owl "You elegant fowl,
    How charmingly sweet you sing.
    O let us be married, too long we have tarried;
    But what shall we do for a ring?"
    They sailed away, for a year and a day,
    To the land where the Bong-tree grows,
    And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
    With a ring at the end of his nose, his nose, his nose,
    With a ring at the end of his nose.
    "Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling your ring?"
    Said the Piggy, "I will"
    So they took it away, and were married next day
    By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
    They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
    Which they ate with a runcible spoon.
    And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand.
    They danced by the light of the moon, the moon, the moon,
    They danced by the light of the moon.

    Just a guess, he thinks the biggest guy in the room should be called "tank"? I personally think a point could be made for "rogue leader" or perhaps just "obese" ; ).
