  1. The Straight Dope on Call for Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie References · · Score: 5, Informative

    Ran this article recently which says tinfoil just isn't enough, and to construct a faraday cage to be impervious to alien influence.

    Personally I think that they really need professional help if they believe in aliens, but if it keeps the government from reading my mind I'm all for it!

    Cash is easily traceable. That little metal strip in US Currency is not an anti-counterfit device, it's a homing beacon. Each bill has its own signature, picked up any time you walk through a metal detector.

    "Well how can they know which bill I have?" you ask? That's not a newspaper salesman in the airport, that's a g-man waiting to give you your change. Once you're marked, the bill sends an electromagnetic signal which switches on all the other money in your wallet so they can use that to track you as well. Or that guy that bumped into you in the alley, He was a carrier, sent to activate your money. They just have to get close to you and they can tag you for surveillance.

    NEVER buy anything at the airport! And if you're going anyplace public where they can get near you, keep your money wrapped up in tinfoil, and separate each bill with newsprint. This will block the g-men's activation signal, plus give the added benefit of always having crisp, clean cash.

    Exactly. Hacking has always been more about thinking outside the box rather than knowing how to program. Anyone can learn a new language, and given time, the nuances of the language. It is easy to learn how to accomplish a given task, but to visualize the task, that's where the magic lies.

  8. The Death's Head on Gobs Of Gaming Goodies · · Score: 1

    Which promptly brought the game down to "He who shoots first wins".

  9. Re:Scorched Earth on Gobs Of Gaming Goodies · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, but scorched earth was simplicity at its finest. It had the feel of a CS project gone haywire, written after weeks of cramming. How else would you think of Death Heads?

  10. Re:Pheonix vs Mozilla on Win32 (I prefer mozilla) on Phoenix 0.5 Has Arrived · · Score: 1

    Internet Explorer is an integrated part of the desktop, therefore it is inherently faster than any other programs. It does the same thing with less work. Mozilla overcame the slow loading times by loading the heavy-duty parts into memory, so it doesn't have to load everything at the first invocation of the program..

  11. Re:Performance improvements on Phoenix 0.5 Has Arrived · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yeah, it doesn't have to check with windows update first, so it can get right down to business.

  12. Re:So let me get this straight... on Phoenix 0.5 Has Arrived · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I want a bolated browser when it suits me, and a stripped down "lite" version when it suits me as well. It's about choice, it's about innovation, and it's about using the product that fits your needs.
    You probably won't want mozilla on an embedded device, but Phoenix will suit your needs. Plus Mozilla has been the testing ground for the coding practices, technology and design of Phoenix.
    Why not have both?

    I don't care what anyone says, that's not an interface, it's an output device!

  14. Re:I am sure I am not the only one bothered by thi on Human-Mouse Hybrids? · · Score: 2

    Uhm, feline leukemia is fairly contagious among cats. From the Cornell Vetrinary Medicine web site:

    The feline leukemia virus is excreted in saliva and tears and possibly the urine and feces of infected cats. Prolonged, extensive cat-to-cat contact is required for efficient spread, because the virus is rapidly inactivated by warmth and drying.

    So a virus which infects cats and only cats, was not a good choice? Sounds like you need to go take a High School Biology course.

    As we combine more and more genetic information from ourselves into other lifeforms, we increase the risks of diseases (not genetic conditions) which can mutate themselves into diseases potentially harmful to humans.

    Assuming the Aids/Green Monkey thing is accurate. Why is it so deadly to us, and not say seahorses? Because we are fundamentally different. Now if we start alering genetic structure of animals to more closely resemble humans, there is potential for such diseases as colds which may seem minor in felines or canines, but are devistating to us because we lack the immunities to deal with them. Should these diseases make the jump to the human body because we gave it just enough information to do it, I don't want to be the first guy to die of feline leukemia

    And to answer your question, no I don't run away frightened from parapalegics, but I don't go sleeping with aids patients or drinking from friends cups when they have clod sores.

    What happens when those hideous problems make the small leap from mouse genetics to human genetics and wipe out the world? Isn't science great?
