  1. Re:Its just like Vegas on What Would It Look Like To Fall Into a Black Hole? · · Score: 1

    What happens if a black hole falls into a black hole? Mayhem? New universe? Walmart?

  2. Re:Huh? on What Would It Look Like To Fall Into a Black Hole? · · Score: 2, Funny

    The very last thing you would see is a Walmart floating by..

  3. Re:Please ... on ACLU Sues Penn Prosecutor For Empty Threat of Child Porn · · Score: 1

    Nudity is illegal in the states. If I go to the mall with no clothes on, I can expect to be arrested for it.. (or at least tackled carefully by mall security :)

  4. Let's not forget Plato on 10 OSes We Left Behind · · Score: 1

    Let's not forget Control Data Corporation's PLATO network back in 1980ish. Think pre-internet.. where all the computers talked to each other.. LONG LIVE EMPIRE!!!!! ROMS SUCK!

  8. Re:Who reboots? on Quick Boot Linux Hopes To Win Over Windows Users · · Score: 1

    It's probably taking a long time because its probably a corporate box. Scripts running, updates, security checks, virus checking, hooking to shares that are not there..

  9. Eye think otherwise on Filmmaker Working On Eye-Socket Camera · · Score: 5, Funny

    If I was going to wear a small hidden camera, I would attach it to the end of my index finger and transmit it to a set of glasses so I can see what it sees. Think of the uses.. 1. You can see around corners 2. Look up a gal's skirt 3. Read with your finger 4. Pick your nose and put it on youtube 5. film yourself sleeping 6. Experience Sign Language in a fresh way The possibilities are endless..

  10. Re:I hope they fix a couple of things on Firefox Beta Touts Advanced Engine, Solves 8 Flaws · · Score: 1

    That's funny, Opera usually not only is the first to implement new ideas, but has a very good browser. It's easy to use and clean. I'm alpha/beta testing the 10 version lately..

  12. Re:Drivers on More Indications Windows 7 Is Coming In 2009 · · Score: 1

    I have a 2006 HP Pavillion DV8305 Multimedia laptop and Win 7 32 bit installed all of my hardware correctly with out a hitch. I have to admit, I like it. Everything is fast and the eye candy is good. No install problems for software I use. I tried the 64 bit version and it installed everything but sound. Because I'm more interested in dating girls than working 24/7 on my laptop, I just went back to the 32 bit version :)

  13. Re:Assembly on Best Introduction To Programming For Bright 11-14-Year-Olds? · · Score: 1

    I learned assembly when I was about 1 or 2.. Thanks for the building blocks mom!

  14. Help 911! on Best Way To Get Back a Stolen Computer? · · Score: 3, Funny

    If they hook up a modem, have it call 911 and hang up. Have it do this over and over.. they will get a visit! If you can figure out how, have the computer place the call and play back a synthesized speech explaining that this computer belongs to you and is stolen.

    If you stack them vertically and apply pressure from all known six dimensions, you wjll travel jnto another unjverse

    If your conscience permits you.. there is always bittorrent.. http://verified-p2p-links.com/torrent_details/39945029/narnia?tab=summary Download a few thousand Sci Fi books and read on the john if time is short ;)

  17. Someone is having writer's block on MacGyver Film In the Works? · · Score: 1

    Just another example of the lack of imagination from a script writer. Hey, let's create a show about doctors! No wait! How about cops! Uhhhh, got too many of those? Well... fashion? Talent? Housewives? Bummer, all taken? *has another scotch* Oh I know, let's do something that's been done before! Man, I'm good! It sucks.. promote original for God's sake!

    Boy! I haven't read that since 1942! Totally forgot about it

  20. Re:Same solution as always on Child Porn Accusation As Online Extortion Tactic · · Score: 1

    As I read your post, it occurred to me that with everyone knowing that the gambling firms are being blackmailed by hackers (Yes I know, not all hackers are evil, its just a tool), they will also wonder if their credit card information, transactions, personal data is secure. Just riding with the wave may be a bad idea from a financial credibility sense..

  21. Re:IED? on GPS Coke Can X-Rayed · · Score: 1

    I developed CBT training software for Aviation Security training through the 90's and we had a number of courses referring to IED and a huge library of IED images that we built with our X-ray machines. Even if they have been exposed to the PDS document, the GPS coke can is really gonna be an issue with the screeners at the checkpoints because they simply can't take a chance that they have analyzed the image incorrectly. A passenger who sends one of these through a checkpoint can probably expect the kind of reaction one would get to passing in a can of shaving cream with electronics in it. Anyone know what current checkpoint reactions are to "bomb in a bag"? Drawn guns? Death by dismemberment :)

  22. Re:I have other concerns. on GPS Coke Can X-Rayed · · Score: 1

    Maybe not so simple? Notice the color ORANGE when the regular coke can is scanned? Orange for Organic (just shoot me down if I'm wrong). So substituting explosives for coke probably will give you a different color in the photo.. Still, several phrases come to mind.. 1. Where there's a will, there's a way.. 2. Famous last words!

  23. What about TV? on Violent Video Game Law Struck Down · · Score: 1

    Guess we should also ban all those episodes of TJ Hooker.. where's the bill?

  24. Hearing Aid Compatible Phone? on Motorola+Qtopia=Linux Smart Phone · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Wonder if they are making this phone hearing aid compatible? For those of you who may not know (probably most of you), a hearing aid has a telecoil that picks up EMF frequencies. Most modern phones broadcast in EMF but cell phones are more spotty. My Samsong A460 does broadcast EMF but also provides lots of static and weird noises..

  25. Re:How is this illegal? on Gotcha! DNS Popup Scammer Fined $1.9 Million · · Score: 1

    The difference is, you subscribed to playboy. After that, it's up to you to supervise the channel. You can even block it in many cases. However, in this case, someone mistypes a valid URL with 100% intent to go to that site and is instead directed to a site that shows porn. How would you like to hop a plane from LA to Boston and get redirected to Las Vegas without your consent (might be fun but you are now late for your business meeting :)
