  1. No cell signal on Trapped Girls Call For Help On Facebook · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They didn't have a cell signal and were leaching someone's wireles. Sounds good, right?

  3. Solar powered pumps on Mobile Phone Technology and Developing Nations · · Score: 2, Informative

    Since the switch would need a battery and charger of some sort to operate it and the radio link, just get a pump that runs on solar.
    They make anything from .25GPM up to like 50,000GPD.

    solar pumps

  4. Why Lancaster? on Eye In the Sky For City Crime Fighting · · Score: 1

    It's a city with a giant Southern Baptist college and a bunch of farmhands.
    Nothing happens there.

  5. Re:this just in on Wolfram Alpha vs. Google — Results Vary · · Score: 1

  7. Re:Real News vs. Advernews on World of Warcraft 3.1 Patch Brings Dual-Specs, New Raid · · Score: 1

    LOTRO has had variable difficulty instances for a while now.
    I thought they had copied it from WoW, guess it's the other way around.

  8. All that money in material and the soldering sucks on How $1,500 Headphones Are Made · · Score: 1

    Why is the headphone jack being soldered on with what appears to be a bent and absolutely filthy soldering gun tip?
    What does that do to the precious non-contaminated analog signal??

  9. Re:Oh noes on Why Kindle 2's Screen Took 12 Years and $150 Million · · Score: 1

    Crack smoker. Ink is soy based now for this very reason.

  10. Re:Dear Iranian nation on Iran Has Put a Satellite Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    Not really. Ballistic trajectories are easy things to compute.

    New York and many other metropolitan areas are huge, exactly how close do you think the mushroom cloud needs to be?

  11. Re:I have a solution for long term data storage. on Seagate Firmware Update Bricks 500GB Barracudas · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    4 digit UID and you think CD's are made by a laser blistering foil.
    Wow.

    I'm sure you know all the correct specifications for 5 1/4" drives though.

  12. Re:According to the DoE... on New York City Street Lights To Go LED · · Score: 1

    Letting GM and Dodge go bankrupt would keep more cars off the road.

  13. I'm going to Vegas, the analogy on Governments Preparing To Bail Out DRAM Makers · · Score: 1

    Time to go make some 'bad bets' and ask the government to bail me out if I lose.
    Of course if I win and hit the jackpot, I'm not giving any to the government. I'll manage to hide the income on a balance sheet somewhere and use the government provided tax-loopholes.
    I will then move my gambling operations to other countries knowing that if times get tough I can go back home and the government will welcome me with open arms and free money.

  14. Re:What happened to "risks of doing business"? on Governments Preparing To Bail Out DRAM Makers · · Score: 1

    There are only 3 car companies that seem to be 'failing'.
    There are more than 3 car companies leftover, so it seems that the 3 failing ones did business 'wrong'.
    Let them fold.

  15. Re:Bailout Bandwagon on Governments Preparing To Bail Out DRAM Makers · · Score: 1

    Once they gave the finance industry $700Billion, every other company figures they can get a few million for their mismanagement as well.
    It's a bandwagon thing.

    For example, the automakers. Ford admits it doesn't need money 'right now', they are just looking for a multi-million dollar loan pre-approval.

  16. Re:You can't spot the obvious danger? on Red Flag Linux Forced On Chinese Internet Cafes · · Score: 0, Troll

    I really think that there is a higher risk of the Chinese government sneaking a backdoor into Windows through an employee of Microsoft...

    Just like the CIA has been doing with Microsoft, HP, IBM, Sun, and Oracle and others for years.

    Whatever, it was all over the news here last week.
    "I owe more than my house is worth, dear Mr. Government, please make the banks re-value my mortgage."
    LOL

  19. Re:Who can afford it? on "Cyber Monday" Expected To Draw Virtual Crowds · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'm still trying to figure out how all these people got the idea that it was God's given right to owe less on your mortgage than the house is worth.

    No, it was $2.5Mil gross income. Totally misleading story it was.

  21. Re:Well "Works With Linux" is a feature to me on Asus To Phase Out Sub-10" Eee PCs · · Score: 1

    800 distros to choose from and people think the 8 versions or whatever it is to choose from for Windows is unbelievable.....

  22. How is that contrary information? on Asus To Phase Out Sub-10" Eee PCs · · Score: 1

    They thought it was going to be an 8:2 ratio, and when it turned into 7:3, they had a glut of XP computers and a shortage of GNU/Linux computers.

  23. Re:They're back? on Behind the Cogent-Sprint Depeering · · Score: 1

    And the highly paid businesspeople and lawyers at Sprint didn't even try to close this loophole when they wrote the contract. Too bad.
