    Blah, lost post the first time i tried this.. anyone else have problems with safari blowing up on trying to post?

    Be sure to wear you gloves when building bombs too, and use a "clean box" so you don't leave any DNA behind.

    As far as bullets, if you only touch the cartridge, you wouldn't be leaving any prints on the bullet.. You are taking your cartridges with you and not leaving them at the crime scene, right?

    The Baby had only seven instructions (take that, Microchip PIC!):

    Jump (indirect), Jump Relative (indirect), Load Negative, Store Accumulator, Subtract, Skip if Accumulator < 0, Halt

    Just shows you RISC is not such a bad thing after-all.

    ...that mankind subconsciously as a whole wants to propagate the (perceived) stronger genes of the species..

    We are still animals at our core, so why is anyone surprised?

    I didn't have a current public link handy.. but i have the interview saved locally on a cdrom somewhere.

  9. Re:Thus the "handed" portion on Bill Gates Reveals Secret of Microsoft's Success · · Score: 1

    They were more expensive because of the deal between Microsoft and IBM.

    It was an intentional effort between the two to remove alternatives and create a single 'standard' in the market.

    This is documented in several places.

  10. No thanks on ISPs Experimenting With New P2P Controls · · Score: 1

    1 - sort of defeats the purpose

    "out flying a plane" is just urban legend. Go find some of Gary's intervies for the truth on the subject.

    But i agree, there was a lot of luck involved, and a but of underhanded backroom deals.

    Sounds like anti-American terrorist talk to me, attempting to incite/support violence against a standing congressman.

    Please come with us, we have a few questions for you.

  18. Re:$5 a gallon? on McCain Backs Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    Cant tell you the actual source, only that it was heard on the local news radio station this week.

    Of course they didn't use the same words 'pushing the bubble', it was 'concern over potential reduced demand due to continuing high prices', the 'bubble' was my words.

  19. Re:$5 a gallon? on McCain Backs Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    Keeping supply below demand to keep prices high is the same as decreasing in a static demand market.

    It was OPEC themselves that claimed they are concerned that continued high prices might "reduce world demand" so they will increase production.. I didn't make that up, they damned well know what they are doing.

  20. Re:Why is use limited? on Safeguarding Data From Big Brother Sven? · · Score: 1

    Even if they are 100% innocent, ( actually, especially if they are ) the government has no business reading their mail.

    Its none of their business.

  21. Why is use limited? on Safeguarding Data From Big Brother Sven? · · Score: 1

    Because most average people don't understand what is going on and still have that 'i'm not doing anything wrong' mentality.

    And the few that do, dont understand how to mitigate it.

    That 2nd is a problem for us techies too, as one way encryption is pretty worthless for communication.

    That we know about. I bet behind closed doors somewhere there is nearly unlimited funding and there is a faster machine.

  23. Re:$5 a gallon? on McCain Backs Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    Personally i hope the prices stay up, so we don't once again become complacent and let things slide. Id be willing to pay a little more if it meant domestic energy.

    As far as reducing the need for private transportation in this country to a point to make a difference, that isn't practical, for several reasons and would be a dead-end waste of money.

  24. Re:plenty of us just give it away... on Confessions of a Wi-Fi Thief · · Score: 1

    That problem exists more-so if you secure your wifi.

    How do you prove it wasn't you since you were 'secure'? At least if its wide open you have an argument in court in your favor.

    Personally i don't secure mine due to the extra hassle and false-security, but its only turned on when i'm using it.

  25. Re:Seriously, WTF? on McCain Backs Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    Actually, the problem of storing nuclear waste is self imposed. if we were permitted to recycle the waste it could be used to power lesser power plants, or even portable generators.

    If you understood what i was saying is that it is PART of the solution, not THE solution. It is perhaps the quickest way to get on track with proven large scale technology , so it should be pushed to the head of the line.

    Besides, sending what is left after several levels of use out to the sun isn't that impractical to do. Sure costly, ( and once again, a self imposed limitation due to treaties ) but this isn't about cost or silly treaties so much as keeping us with energy.
