    http://www.shmoocon.org/

    The presentation will probably be available on the Shmoocon website in the not too distant future. Forbes did the standard mainstream media muddling so check with H1kari for the real deal...

    Slashdot has really gone downhill when this gets mod'ed as Insightful, funny maybe, but Insightful?!?!

    How do you know they can't pinpoint terrorists in caves...

    That's exactly why these black projects exist, so we don't know, and neither do the people who want to hurt us!

  13. Re:Their return is in the branding on The Google News Dilemma · · Score: 1

    Actually they don't show up on the balance sheet. GAAP accounting still has it's flaws and this is one. Google will eventually feel pressure to monetize its investment, maybe they will resist. Let's all hope...

  14. SciFi context... on The Underground History of American Education · · Score: 1

    I tell all my liberal friends they should read "Beggers and Choosers" by Nancy Kress to get some context on issues like this...

  15. Re:But can it do... on X43-A on to Mach 10 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've always been amused by this as the claim may in fact be valid and boastable...

    Now I'm not claiming Lucas knew what he was doing but....

    Suppose that the Kessel Run is getting from point A to point B, but the difficulty is not the distance per se but some 'stuff' between the two points. Maybe a vast dangerous asteroid field, or globs of a mysterious sticky substance, or lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my!

    Regardless, most people are forced to fly around the 'stuff' and so the the Kessel Run is a long distance, but the truely skilled can go through with a shorter distance implying higher skill and so more impressive....

    Just a random thought...

  16. Jeez... on Microsoft Is Planning To Renew IE Development · · Score: 1

  17. In Regards to advertisements before the movie... on Theaters vs. Camcorders, Round 27 · · Score: 0

    I would like to propose that we pass laws requiring movie theaters to start the actual movie at the time they represent they will i.e. a 7:30 movie actually starts at 7:30.

    If people want to see the previews, etc they can come early, those who don't arrive as represented...

    Fine the theaters for starting late and they'll fall into line might quick!

    Put on in every secret services agent. that'll make season finales harder to write...

    On a serious note, if I was in law enforcement or any dangerous field and I could get something that would trigger on a change in my vitals and call the 'cavalary' I would probably ber first in line to get it shoved in my butt...

  21. New York fixed that problem.... on Using GPS to Hail Cabs · · Score: 1

  22. Actually... on Securing Your Network? · · Score: 1

    I think a more accurate version would be...

    A network is secure if it appears to an intruder to cost more to break into it than the value of the information being protected.

    I'm not sure we yet have people randomly attacking SSL-protected credit card transactions hoping it just happens to be bill gates silver gold platinum centurion amex.
