I dunno. The Dinner Plates aspect has me intrigued.
Me too! I immediatly invisioned a post toad-apocyliptic world where all there was to eat was toad with a light drizzle of spicy bufotoxsauce. Sounds tasty.
I always thought that "oversight" in this context meant to "overlook" rather than "oversee". But that's just me.

A cat would be easy, it just eats and sleeps most of the time, though you could enjoy the thrill of virtual litterbox cleaning and dragging a string around while the cat chases, or even give it a brown paper shopping bag to hide in.
Yeah, Nintencats. I've actually though about this before. And given the game's universal appeal to the fairer sex, Nintencat-Ladys are inevitable.
It's...got to be fake. The whole thing about how it was the best shot he could get of it "from over the fence" was just made up so he could photoshop in only part of the ambulance and have it look more realistic. It's not a bad fake, that's for sure. And it's not a malicious thing to do. I guess what gets me the most is all the comments after that post and how everyone believes him.
No doubt. When I saw that it had been modded down, I thought; "Maybe Opera doesn't use ads for the free version of their browser anymore". So I downloaded and installed it. It does have ads. They still annoy me. I then uninstalled Opera. Huh.
Gotta watch those anger nerds man. They're seriously dangerous. You can tell they're coming too because of the high-pitched nasal "war whine" they make when they're about to attack.
From the end of the article: Now back to those voting machines. If EVERY OTHER kind of machine you make includes an auditable paper trail, wouldn't it seem logical to include such a capability in the voting machines, too? Given that what you are doing is adapting existing technology to a new purpose, wouldn't it be logical to carry over to voting machines this capability that is so important in every other kind of transaction device?
This confuses me. I'd love to know who said to leave the feature out and why?
Next week: the answer.
The answer? Because it's cheaper. And because ultimately the only ones that can hold these companies responsible for their fraudulent behavior are the people of America, who are too fat and docile to do any such thing.
Despite the allure of hard cash, don't expect to see a rash of made-for-Hollywood ATM hacks -- machines around the country suddenly spitting out wads of 20s at random, said Marc Maiffret, Windows expert and "chief hacking officer" at California-based eEye Digital Security.
Hey, why not? Nachi wasn't tailored for ATMs, but it still got a few. Imagine a virus/worm that _was_ meant specificly for ATMs. I bet something like that could achieve a pretty big impact.
"Imagine," he says, "the end of property crime. Everything that has any value and could be stolen -- a car, a laptop, a piece of construction equipment" (not to mention every ship, plane, truck trailer, and toddler) -- "everything like that will know its location and be able to report it. We can go even further: You tell your laptop that it should only find itself at your office or your home. And if it finds itself in a car trunk, it wakes up, notices that it's in the wrong place, calls your cell phone, and says, 'Hi, this is your laptop. I'm at this location on this map you see. Is that okay?'"
That instantly made me think of the Phrack article on the Low Cost and Portable GPS Jammer. Never know when that baby's going to come in handy.
If he were just a bit more clever, there never would have been a dispute. Nobody would have ever known there was a such thing as a "TARDIS" if the Doctor wasn't materializing and dematerializing all over London in broad daylight like that.

If they're going to lead to hearing loss, it's probably because of the amazing bass response for such small phones.
Lows don't kill your ears. Highs do.
You may not be too far off base.
...designed with emphasis on dependability instead of performance
If Microsoft is going to do to dependability what they did to performance...It may very well cause this solar system to collapse in on itsself.
You're right; the Patriot Act didn't have the best of intentions. It's known as the Hegelian Principle.

Dag, I stand corrected. Strange that you'd find a TV show prop in a real aircraft salvage yard. Pretty damn cool though.

The object is to hide evil functionality that survives visual inspection of the source.
The prize is world domination!
Are Chicago Crime and Google Sightseeing next to go?
Unfortunately yes, but that's because of us, not their violation of terms with Google.
It's still usually shelling out the cash to see a version that isn't fuzzy with garbled sound, though.
Yes, yes it certainly is worth.

No stupid ads.
Whether you're making a clever joke, or telling it the way it is, you're right on the money.
It appears he's doing both, sort of like one of those "it's funny because it's true" sort of things. That's how I took it anyway.
Why the hell are they asking people for arguments against it?
:-)
They're probably just going gather data on each person that protests and mark them as people who's communications they should be intercepting
Maybe you don't have to as it looks like he'll find you.
Along the same lines, only on Slashdot would a comment pointing out this simple and obvious fact be moderated insightful ;-)
