  1. Re:Politicians are only experts at getting re-elec on Open Letter By Eric S. Raymond To Chris Dodd · · Score: 1

    Politicians are only experts at getting re-elected

    Anyone who is capable of getting themselves elected President should by no means be allowed to hold the office.

  2. H. G. Wells already knew this and warned us! on Moon May Not Be As Dead As We Thought · · Score: 1

    Never, never discuss the earth and how brutal its inhabitants are with a Selenite and certainly not with the Grand Lunar. Else the consequences can be quite dire.

  3. Re:Firefox private browsing too? on Google Accused of Bypassing Safari's Privacy Controls · · Score: 1

    See subject line ... "Firefox private browsing too?"

  4. Firefox private browsing too? on Google Accused of Bypassing Safari's Privacy Controls · · Score: 1

    I have a profile that I keep for private browsing only. I only login to facebook and other nefarious sites in this profile and always in private mode. My search bar is set to either scroogle or (b/c google is blocking them) duckduckgo. Yet somehow I find google cookies "leaking" out of private mode. Upon launch but b/f going private I periodically check the cookie list and I find google there. :((

  5. Back to the Future on Small, Modular Nuclear Reactors — the Future of Energy? · · Score: 1

    I can't wait to get my Mr. Fusion

  6. Re:Unintended Precedents on Doctors "Fire" Vaccine Refusers · · Score: 1

    Second hand smoke perhaps?

  7. Re:They meant well on Sony Raises Price of Whitney Houston's Music 30 Minutes After Death · · Score: 1

    Ok, I know this is a joke and a jab at Big Corp ... but Whitney didn't get royalties b/c she didn't write any of her own stuff. She got advances on predicted album sales. Her estate probably already owes Sony for loans and advances on yet unmade albums.

    Dolly Parton will be the (ahem) big winner here.

  8. Re:Looks like it is photoshopped. on NASA Releases New High-Definition Image of Earth · · Score: 1

    I have a map of the United States... Actual size. It says, "Scale: 1 mile = 1 mile." I spent last summer folding it. I also have a full-size map of the world. I hardly ever unroll it. People ask me where I live, and I say, "E6". -- Stephen Wright

  9. Re:I get the feeling... on Timothy Lord Looks at Gas and Electric Smart Cars (Video) · · Score: 1

    that "smart" will be the adjective of this decade the way "on demand", "extreme" and "turbo" were misused in previous decade.

    Obligatory : http://xkcd.com/1007/

  10. Re:SSID on Police Investigate Offensive Wi-Fi Network Name · · Score: 1

    immature people who crave attention, much like people who put huge subwoofers in their car, or loud exhausts on their bikes

    Generally speaking when you're a rider you NEED people to pay attention to you. It's not an ego thing it's a safety thing. Loud pipes saves lives.

    But, yes, I know the type of obnoxious bike you're talking about but don't lump all riders with loud bikes in the same category. The reply is a bit ironic given that we're talking about prejudices.

  11. Re:and the camera they took it with? on Protecting Your Tablet From a Fall From Space · · Score: 1

    Apparently it was also weighted so it wouldn't land screen down.

    Perhaps, but it looks like their tracker beacon was on the back. How much would that weigh? Was it placed on the back strategically? Perhaps.

  12. Re:Patent on asking to go to the bathroom, too? on IBM Snags Patent On Half-Day Off of Work Notifications · · Score: 1

    I hereby claim all rights and patents to requesting sick leave. :-(

          Subject: sick
                Sorry boss, I have a cold and a bad headache so I can't come in today.

  13. Re:Sports is the key on Google Giving Google TV Another Shot · · Score: 1

    sports leagues to allow their precious content to be accesible through Google TV.

    That was what I said about FOX all those years ago when it was on channel 33 (anybody remember UHF?). I said to be seen as legit they needed A) a news program and 2) NFL or some other major sports. They created FOX News and grabbed the NFL from CBS and cover NASCAR too. Now they're on the respectable VHF channel 4 (both station#s in the DFW area).

    Perhaps you're right about GoogleTV too. Or maybe they can't make the leap? If only they had some radical animated show to get viewers while they work out the kinks .... hmmmmmm ........

  14. Re:Give it two to the chest and one to the head... on Google Giving Google TV Another Shot · · Score: 4, Informative

    This same radical streaming technology can be used to watch many other timely TV shows as well, like the Oscars or Monday Night Football.

    Nope, MNF is not available via this radical streaming technology. It is on ESPN which is cable / satellite only. :((

  15. Re:Hypocrites on Mozilla and Google Sign New Agreement For Default Search · · Score: 2

    Also you are free to make duckduckgo your default search on Firefox.

  19. Re:"Microsoft's Goodwill" ? on Microsoft Loses Appeal of "Vista-Capable" Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Actually they can. However, to make the sentence work, in it you also have to have words like: "none", "no", "without", "never", "abused", etc...



    Not so! E.g.: Microsoft was jealous of the Goodwill engendered by the Open Source community.

  20. Re:This is why I backup my Gmail with G-Archiver on G-Archiver Harvesting Google Mail Passwords · · Score: 1

    If he had chosen C++, there's a good chance no one would have bothered to pore over the assembly and find this out.



    Pour over assembly would be way over kill.



            strings g-archiver | less +/@gmail.com

    Seriously, there would have been other ways than decompiling to find this exploit.
