    What if this were to have happend inside an airoplane at 30,000ft.

    Oh noes! What if a pregnant lady were listening to it during childbirth and the baby were harmed? What if terrorists start putting ipods in their shoes? What if somebody puts an ipod on a rocket for $8000, and it blows up and ignites the atmosphere?

    Stop living your life in fear of the unlikely.

    So, in Canada, if you're going to steal a money-dispensing machine, you tell people you're going to take a BM?

    it's good that the orbit isn't sable

    Yeah, fur (or Mercury automobiles) would never last in space.

  7. Pricing on Unreleased OQO 2+ OLED Version Sells For $6,500 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I guess it just turns out they priced them wrong... shoot, they've got the market for $6500 laptops cornered.

    Dammit, I was reading that, and my iPhone crashed.

  9. Re:Is this why they were distracting us yesterday? on SMS Hack Could Make iPhones Vulnerable · · Score: 2, Funny

    The battery in the iPhone and laptop are replaceable, just not by the owner. This was also the case for Steve's liver. JOKE FAIL.

    A sufficiently experienced user can replace his liver; I'll bet Steve Wozniak could do it.

  10. Re:Personal experience with milk says article's BS on UK's FSA Finds No Health Benefits To Organic Food · · Score: 1

    The expiration date is usually later because it's ultra-pasteurized, not because it's somehow better. The extra steps in ultra-pasteurization cost less for the manufacturer than throwing away milk that doesn't sell, and since "organic" milk sells less because it costs more, they'd wind up throwing more away. I started buying "organic" milk for exactly this reason, not because it's "better".

    (Whose idea was it to start drinking cow milk anyway? It just seems like such a nasty idea.)

    Do cow shit and a wheat grass shake taste the same? Wait, maybe that's a bad example.

    Yeah, but trans-fats are tasty. They took them out of oreos and french fries and I'm still fat, so what's the point?

  14. Re:Linus on Alan Cox Quits As Linux TTY Maintainer — "I've Had Enough" · · Score: 2, Informative

    BSD has terrible driver support compared to Linux.

    Wrong. BSD has excellent driver support, but doesn't allow in binary-only black-box drivers nobody can maintain. Instead the developers reverse-engineer the hardware and make drivers anyone can maintain.

    I checked this with Netcraft, and they confirmed it.

    Not only that, you'll start seeing Goatse EVERYWHERE. Business logos, childrens' television shows, family photos...

    So, you're saying you're too lazy to learn machine language. You could have done your -R vs. -r fix with a hex editor.

  17. Re:Sure. 1000 years. on New DVDs For 1,000-Year Digital Storage · · Score: 1

    Let's say you are a marketer working for DiskCorp, and your boss tells the engineers to develop a compound that will last for 100 years to sell to people worried about archival. In the pursuit of 100-year life, they happen to come up with something that lasts 20 years.

    Do you: (a) decide that the engineers failed and go back to the drawing board, or (b) tell marketing they can run with the 1000-year life?

    Fixed.

    There, too, the problem lay squarely on the attempt to use MS .NET instead of something workable. It's just a half-assed copy of Java locked into one vendor.

    As opposed to running the fully-assed official Java and being locked into one vendor?
