    Holding up a camera phone is pretty obvious, having your glasses on record isn't.

  2. finally on Unifying Undersea Wireless Communication Using TCP/IP · · Score: 2

    Finally, Spongebob gets dialup!

  3. Re:A room with no service? on In Room With No Cell Service, Verizon Works On Future of Mobile · · Score: 1

    You should rent it to them for testing purposes.

    Still a long way to go to Linux 95.

    747's per football field

  7. Re:What? on NASA Scientists Jubilant After Successful Helicopter Crash · · Score: 1

    Maybe you put the people in the airbags, and they just bounce to safety?

    In Soviet Russia, airbags are put in people...

  8. Re: Good on Nissan Plans To Sell Self-Driving Cars By 2020 · · Score: 1

    True, but networked computers would also be able to coordinate their entrances onto congested roadways. Quality of Service scheduling could be applied to cars on the road just like it currently gets applied to packets on a telephone network. (assuming nobody reprograms their software to 'cheat', anyway ;))

    Sounds good until you get routed via China on your commute or find a firewall in the middle of the freeway.

  9. Re:One thing is for certain... on The World Fair of 2014 According To Asimov (From 1964) · · Score: 2

    Technically, if that is a dog whistle, it means you are also a Space Nutter (whatever that is), since you were able to hear it as well.

    Maybe he just has a lot of space between his ears.

  10. Re:Whoah whoah on Linux 3.11-rc7 Release Celebrates 22 Years of Linux · · Score: 1, Funny

    Nvidia probably disagree with you.

  11. Keep trying on Netflix Comes To Linux Web Browsers Via 'Pipelight' · · Score: 1

    Is that all! If you aren't piping it through 3 firewalls, 2 satellites and a dial up connection, you just aren't trying hard enough.

  12. Re:Flashable? on The Rise of Linux In In-Vehicle Infotainment · · Score: 1

    The big question: will I be able to put something else on there? Like what OpenWRT did for routers?

    Not likely, In my new car, Toyota even have protection on the SD card for the maps. Even writing a new file to the card that it wasn't expecting was enough to start warning messages popping up.

  13. Not SQL! on DIY Satellite Tracking · · Score: 2

    Give whole new meaning to the DROP command.

  14. Re:Ec*freeze*lip*freeze*se works on Visual Studio vs. Eclipse: a Programmer's Comparison · · Score: 1

    Check out the new Kepler release. Kepler was an iteration with a focus on improving the performance issues Juno had.

    http://eclipse.org/kepler/

    Kepler is pretty nice UX wise.

    I've got no idea what it does, but I want Stardust just for the cool name!

  15. Re:War! on Mystery Intergalactic Radio Bursts Detected · · Score: 1

    Until we can actually leave the solar system if not the entire galaxy (physics not withstanding), perhaps it would be best to keep a low profile; as in don't announce our presence. If aliens can reach Earth, it would be easy for them to track down other colonies nearby and commence with the extermination.

    How the heck will we kick start the Federation if we keep a low profile!
    The sooner we got to warp, the sooner the Vulcans will start paying attention.

  16. Re:Very nice on Solar-Powered Boat Carries 8.5 Tons of Lithium-Ion Batteries · · Score: 5, Funny

    A Hindenburg that floats.

    Um, airships do float.

    How does Google take these 'street view' pics again?

    By walking around with a huge backpack in this case.

  18. Well we fixed Hubble on Equipment Failure May Cut Kepler Mission Short · · Score: 1

    If only we had a vehicle we could send up with some astronauts to fix it. Couldn't be any harder than fixing Hubble could it? Oh, right.....

  19. Disabling works for me on iTunes: Still Slowing Down Windows PCs After All These Years · · Score: 1

    I've always disabled that service and the Apple startup things, my phone still works fine I just have to open Itunes myself when I want to sync.

  20. not new on Telstra Bigpond To Use Outlook.com As Email Handler · · Score: 1

    They've been using hotmail for years, this isn't news, just an upgrade.

  21. really? on Google Patents Staple of '70s Mainframe Computing · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't know whats worse, Google applied for this, or the USPTO approved it.

  22. Re:125 mph for 125 miles... on Driver Trapped In Speeding Car At 125 Mph · · Score: 1

    This car has a key-less ignition.

    Most still have some form of safety cutoff. In my Toyota holding the button for 3 seconds cuts the power, just like a computer power switch.

  23. Re:Star Trek, Star Wars... on J.J. Abrams To Direct Star Wars VII · · Score: 2

    Next he needs to do a reboot of Stargate, then he would have worked on all of the Star+* franchises.

    Please don't give MGM ideas.....

  24. Taking it easy? on NASA and CSA Begin Testing Satellite Refueling On the ISS · · Score: 1

    People complain the electric car takes 8 hours to charge. This thing takes a week to remove the fuel cap!

  25. how's that work? on Intel Gets Serious With Solar-powered CPU Tech · · Score: 1

    Who wants a solar powered cpu or gpu? Pretty sure it's a dark and dusty place in my computer, not the sort of place the sun shines.
