  1. Re:Thankfully, I live in the USA on Children Arrested, DNA Tested for Playing in a Tree? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hey they could have been trying to commit suicide you never know. Just shoot them so them so they don't hurt themselves, remember folks the government will take care of it.

    Next time you get a ticket from a red light camera, just tell the judge the camera violated your vehicular privacy!

  3. Re:You build it, one is born every minute to buy i on New 1 Kilowatt PSU - Too Much Power? · · Score: 2, Funny

    After me and a friend were constantly upgrading to keep up with each other and escalating the arms race I just decided to start taping 20 dollar bills on the side of my computer, I couldn't take it anymore. Only down side was that he would peel them off my case and make fun of me some more.

    More importantly, how do you notify one of these data collection warehouses to delete your information? Don't they need permission to keep your records? And if I write to be delisted shouldn't I be?

  6. Re:Do NOT mod parent down, please on Ham Operator Sets New Miles-Per-Watt World Record · · Score: 1

    Well your right about ham radio not being dead, but your wrong about the code requirements, they are all gone for HF except for the extra class, which they dropped to 5WPM only. As far as CW being the most exciting way to get DX, you might want to try checking out MT63, MFSK, or QRSS http://www.ussc.com/~turner/qrss1.html
    Even bouncing signals off the moon. As for Old Geezers, well if anyone is scared of some 70 year old guy in their slippers yelling over a raido, just stay on IRC I guess.

  7. Re:Hi-Tech Eye Candy on Orac^3 -- Not Your Everyday Casemod · · Score: 1

    Yeah it's high tech alright, but I'd forgo some of the eye candy to get a bunch of those cables and things electrically grounded. Has someone made such a nice case like this, but has eliminated the RFI generated by it? I'm a nerdy case modder, I want the RFI and grounds with my mods. Has anyone seen any mod parts or cables, cases, and or accesories that are RF ground friendly?

    Just wondering.

  8. Re:What is the best way to stop this? on Russia, China World's Biggest Spammers · · Score: 1

    Well we could all convince the respective governments, including our own to standardize computing practices. You know just like you do with your car? Registering it? And having it inspected for safety. Every year submit your computer to an internet worthyness test, and get a certificate issued to your computer. Kinda like getting an inspection sticker for your car. Then the government authority automatically monitors the computer, if they find it being virused up, or spewing mails as an open relay, they send you an E-Ticket for an internet violation.

    On second thought, I think I'll let capatilisim take the drivers seat, your country doesn't give a rip about the flotsam it dumps on the internet, then I guess your GNP will be hurt by all the domains and netblocks country X blackholes, your companies bitch, and well you loose business.

    But then what about contries like Nigeria where a large chunk of the GNP comes from shady e-mails and spam? Would throwing around economical muscle on them cause the spam to stop? Hrm no.

    I guess, the best thing yet is to keep the filters going, get some anal ISPs, and keep pressing the delete button for now.

    So your saying in your monolithic 500K+ user shop, your running systems on the outer edge with port 445 open? Does that break your 1989 dos app? Or do you just let people randomly connect their laptops to your network?

    Yeah maybe Wind River will flow into Walnut Creek. Yort!

  11. Re:They aren't kidding.... on Flaming Cellphones · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you do overcharge a Lithium-ION cell or Lithium-Polymer Cell to over 4.2 ~ Volts, you can expect a Lithium bag cell to baloon up then vent poisions, or flame up. If you overcharge a steel, or aluminium cased cell you can blow the case, and explode! Lithium-ION batteries are really fincky they like to be charged under constant current at less than 1C. They also don't like to be discharged over 1C, so if the phone was malfunctioning, and drawing more current than it normally would, that could cause a "FAILURE EVENT", or like you said a battery fire. Laugh.

    The reason I know of all this, is because I fly electric RC planes, and lithium ION cells are the hottest power offerings right now. People charge their packs in FIRE safes if that gives you any indication of Lithium-ION cells volitility.

    Go figure.

  13. The PC garbage barge is born! on Recycle Fee For Each PC? · · Score: 1


    Why can I see this now? In the news tonite: "The 11 month voyage "Operation Silicon Flotilla" is trying to find a port of call. The barge was funded by the national PC recycle control bill. On the barge over 32,000 tons of clone PC parts are destine for burial somewhere other than the United States. Mexico and Ghana have already turned down the 56 Million reward for accepting the load. Currently the US is engaging in talks with Pakastan, where the Minister of communications there was said as quoting. "We'll be happy to take this burden off of the USs hands." "Were trying to get e-terrorist training Kiosks up and running, and we need those parts out in the Bazzars and streets."
