  1. Re:You say: "Defense"... on Pentagon Wants Kill Switch For Planes · · Score: 2, Informative

    Trying to make a way for a plane to not be able to go somewhere is a really convoluted way to go about this. If someone has taken over a plane, you don't want them to have control, period. As far as planes go, implement a system whereby either the pilot, or a satellite link may force the plane into an autopilot mode that may not be overridden. The plane will then fly to some predestined area, or be commanded to land somewhere else by someone sitting in a control tower if need be. Plane gets there, and asks where to land. If no answer is received it lands on a predetermined runway. Have a friendly, neighborhood SWAT team waiting at the airfield. You could even set up the plane to be controlled by an external pilot.

    The systems already exist. The military already uses them. Autopilot systems are very capable of landing planes these days when needed. It's just a matter putting all the crap together to make an even bigger pile of crap so to speak.

    Of course, this being slashdot, I'm an idiot and have no clue what I'm talking about. Feel free to post goatse links and pron stories in response.

  5. Male texture, modded .esp on More Oblivion Re-Rating Fallout · · Score: 0

    The same texture is used in game for both the males and females. Why might you ask? So people don't have to fucking load an extra 256k texture in a game that is already taxing on current hardware. Men have nipples. Men don't wear bras. Therefore, texture has nipples, texture has no bra. They cover up the offending nipples by using MODELED bras. To repeat for the retarded: a separate model is used for the bra.

    Someone modded the game to not render the bra model. Therefore, the man-nipples show. If you look at a screenshot, they are abnormally low, and oddly shaped because they were not designed to be female.

    The game is designed to be open to modding anything you damn well please. Someone mods the game and Bethesda has to now re-rate the game? This is asinine.

  13. Re:Simple yet... on FreeBSD Logo Contest Winner Announced · · Score: 0

    Any Christian that is offended by the FreeBSD logo probably doesn't even know how to use computers. I myself am somewhat of a Christian and I know a few of the fundamentalist types.... the whole literal Bible thing. They don't seem to mind the logo because they are in touch with the real world. The type of Christian that is offended by the FreeBSD logo is generally going to be the backwoods inbred type. There are exceptions, of course, but the majority of Christians don't give a damn.

  20. Re:Worked for me on Do-Not-Call List, Two Years Later · · Score: 0

    Heheheh, I worked at a calling center a few years back (very not cool job, at least it paid well...). Every time someone went apeshit on the phone it was great. I got some free amusement and when they hung up I prompty scheduled them for a recall. Adding them back to the calling list only took 1 keystroke too (taking them off too a little longer.

    The thing is, we would get reprimanded if we didn't have enough calls per hour. Combine that with laziness (and the joy of someone going totally apeshit when they had asked 10 times to be removed from the calling list) and just about everyone who worked there rescheduled everyone who was called.

    Yes, telemarketers are assholes. :)
