  1. Re:Problem will solve itself on Bitcoin Used For the Narcotics Trade · · Score: 1

    It's ok, it says right on the item page that they definitely aren't cops and they only need your address for delivery purposes.

  2. Re:Gross Oversimplification of the HBGary Incident on NATO Report Threatens To 'Persecute' Anonymous · · Score: 1

    It remains to be seen how much time Anonymous has for pursuing such paths.

    They really have no idea, do they?

  3. Re:$58.8 billion? on BSA 2010 Piracy Report: $58.8 Billion · · Score: 1

    $58.8 billion means that only one person downloaded a pirated copy of anything in 2010.

  4. Re:Bleh on Encrypted VoIP Meets Traffic Analysis · · Score: 4, Funny

    Come on, 50% is better than most unencrypted voice recognition!

  5. Re:Two Words on The Continued Censorship of Huckleberry Finn · · Score: 1

    This is true. I wonder how many would write in 'nigger' anyway.

  6. Re:Two Words on The Continued Censorship of Huckleberry Finn · · Score: 1

    Maybe they should let the students fill in the blanks with words like "zombie," "robot," or "vampire" to suit their tastes.

  7. Re:Books on Retailers Dread Phone-Wielding Shoppers · · Score: 1

    I see myself fall into some of these traps.

    Nothing wrong with this. At least you see yourself doing it.

  8. Re:I did this on Retailers Dread Phone-Wielding Shoppers · · Score: 1

    It shows all the prices for the stores around me, as well as online.

    Sounds interesting. Where does this information come from?

  9. Re:Old Hat... on Attack of the Trojan Printers · · Score: 1

    Or... just put custom firmware on the printer.

  10. Re:What could possibly go wrong? on Robots Guarding US Nuclear Stockpiles In Nevada · · Score: 4, Funny

    How about... Mobile Unmanned Robotic Detection Assessment Response System (MURDARS)?

  11. Re:No, that's not it at all on Firefighters Let House Burn Because Owner Didn't Pay Fee · · Score: 1

    To be honest, I don't remember where I saw it. Of the half dozen Internet articles I saw on this, I think it was in two of them. I believe he mentions it in the video at the bottom of the linked article, but that's just the victim's word (which may be where the other sources are taking it from). I also wondered if he had paid the fee before, but haven't seen any info regarding that.

  12. Re:No, that's not it at all on Firefighters Let House Burn Because Owner Didn't Pay Fee · · Score: 1

    Actually, he offered to pay the full costs. As did his neighbor. The offer was declined. Also, the fee had been previously waived in other cases in the same area.

    Mmmm.. white castle...

  14. Re:Unfoilable Steganography in LSB Plane of Imager on Distinguishing Encrypted Data From Random Data? · · Score: 1

    Couldn't you just establish a code using the content of the images? Something using the names or hair colors or whatnot of the subjects. Then just make a slideshow of family photos in a specific order and name it TOP SECRET MESSAGE.

  15. Re:iieorjoeghoiuhtr on Distinguishing Encrypted Data From Random Data? · · Score: 1

    Well, it's definitely not random. And I doubt it's encrypted. So if it is, you win.

  16. Re:Open Notes & Well-Designed Exams on Preventing Networked Gizmo Use During Exams? · · Score: 1

    And while, in the 'real world', you virtually never have to solve a problem from memory alone

    I must live in a very different, 'fake world' of my own.

  17. Re:stupid people on The Advent of Religious Search Engines · · Score: 1

    Problem is all that awful stuff comes up when their kids search for words they found in the Bible.

  18. Re:To on Researchers Discover Irresistible Dance Moves · · Score: 1

    It's been shown time and time again that the sexiest thing women see in men is confidence. It's no different here. If you watch the videos in the article, the 'bad' dancer is staring at the floor, while the 'good' dancer is clearly confident in his ridiculous gyrations. I'm not so convinced this has as much to do with the actual dance moves as the display of confidence through posture.

  19. Mod Parent Up on American Business Embraces 'Gamification' · · Score: 1

    That post deserves a pat on the back.

  20. Re:FTFA: on Bicycles As a Gateway To Government Control · · Score: 1

    I was thinking that you'd have more than one neighbor. You murder them, another one murders you, etc, till there's only one person left in the neighborhood.

  21. Re:Old ads. on Will Amazon Put Advertisements In eBooks? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I didn't look too hard, but I didn't see details on how the ads would be placed. I doubt we'll be looking at, "Her heart was pounding as she unlatched the door and BUY VIAGRA!"

  22. Re:FTFA: on Bicycles As a Gateway To Government Control · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes if everybody on the planet each got a knife made out of recycled glass and used it carefully to murder a neighbour, then the whole problem would be halved over night.

    More than halved. Actually, that would about take care of it.

    You can also get them straight off the US Mint for $1 each, and they pay shipping. They come in increments of $250 though.
