  1. Re:Real programming/scripting language on First Look At Palm's Mojo SDK · · Score: 1

    Test drive your javascript development. Check out jasmine. Safari's inspector is no firefox/firebug, but it gets the job done.

  2. Re:I dunno... on Sony Pictures CEO Thinks the Net Wasn't Worth It · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is refrain. The music industry attempts to apply its business model to the internet, gets burned, and accuses their customer base of not playing fair. Clearly there are ways to make money from the internet, just not the way the media giants want to make it. The cat is out of the bag. There is no choice but to adapt. Innovate or go out of business.

  3. Re:Hurray! on FTC Targets Massive Car Warranty Robocall Scheme · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I agree immoral and unethical are not the best choice of words. Words that come to mind are despicable, ugly, vile, slimy, unworthy...

    By 'few bad apples' do you mean, 'overwhelming majority'?

    That is the most satisfying post I've read. Ever.

  5. Re:Its GPL licenced, someone should fork it. on NoScript Adds Subscriptions To Adblock Plus · · Score: 1

    What I will not do is run code on my machine that's obfuscated or that attempts to mess with things it shouldn't mess with.

    ?? Web sites that aren't obfuscating their javascript are wasting their bandwidth and frustrating their users with a slow loading page. You'll need to just plain shut off Javascript if you don't want to run obfuscated js.

  6. Re:RTFA on 3 Cups of Coffee Increases Hallucinations · · Score: 1

    I'm a type I diabetic. I test my blood sugar 6-8 times daily. I've had a Medtronic Minimed 515 insulin pump on my person for several years. A few years back I went on a diet/exercise kick and lost ~50lbs. I can say without a doubt that after exercise (5mi jog), I need significantly less insulin. I reduce the basal dose rate to %50 normal basal rate for an 1hr. I have a heightened sensitivity to insulin for ~24hrs after exercise. Based on my experience I find it hard to understand why you claim that your insulin levels are increased after working out. What type of exercise are you doing? How can this be? There is a much higher correlation between glucose and insulin requirements than protein. I base my insulin dosage on how much carbohydrate I take in. I can almost ignore the amount of protein I eat in terms of insulin requirements.

  7. Re:Locusts on Volvo Introduces a Collision-Proof Car · · Score: 1

    Still, cars that try to do any driving for me at speed seem like a bad idea. In fact, I don't even like air-bags, because I figure if one blows up in my face during an accident at freeway speeds, it would cause me to lose any change of controlling the vehicle. You don't see airbags in race cars, just very nice seat belt systems.

    Airbags go off when a collision is happening. Any control you think you have at that point is useless. Airbags save lives.

    Hey MobiTV, send me some of your packets? Sure thing - here ya go!

  9. Who pays the bills when the RIAA comes knockin'? on Corporate Encouragement For Sharing Your WiFi · · Score: 1

    I don't understand how someone can share their AP without fear of someone doing something nefarious over their connection. I'd be more willing to participate once there is more precedence over who's going to get busted (not me).

    They are a fact of like in web 2.0. Shutting them off is a non-option.

    I agree, subversion & scripts sounds like a good solution. Dare I suggest... Lotus Notes/Domino? Seriously, the notes databases can be setup to do what you're looking for. It worked pretty good at my last job as long as everyone played nice.

  12. Re:Take a bike, leave a bike on Neighborhood WiFi Security · · Score: 1

    Take a bike, leave a bike doesn't work.

    I witnessed a failed attempt in Chico, CA. Some do-gooders painted a bunch of bikes bright yellow and let the public have at em. They were snatched up super quick. It was common to see them locked up or repainted. My faith that in a few days I might have my chance using TAB,LAB was ill-fated.

    I saw the guy accross the street ride up on one. He and his frat buddies took turns throwing it as high into the air as possible. Some stomped it. It was a heap of bent metal sitting in the gutter within a 1/2 hour. The bikes disappeared within days.

    That night everyone went and got drunk.

  16. Re:How about sharing this data with us? on BudNet Tracks Your Suds · · Score: 1

    Ever since the grocery stores stopped putting price tags on every item, this has been a problem - long before the 'club cards'. But really - Is it that hard to read the labels? I don't have these troubles when I go to the grocery store. I live in SF, and the Safeways are always so busy that the employees couldn't possibly keep up with every item the shopper puts down. The part that gets me is when they say 2 for 1, vs. buy 2 get one free. If it reads 2 for 1, you only need to buy one to get the savings. If it reads buy 2 get one free, you have to brin 3 of the items to the register....

  17. Re:U-235 vs. U-238 on Where are the 70% Efficient Solar Cells? · · Score: 1

    Regarding 100 and 400 years of oil, my own best estimates are somewhat lower than that. My estimates are that we will experience shortages within 20 to 25 years, and that within fifty years we will have basically exhausted all economically accessible oil resources (i.e., there will be oil out there, but it will take more energy to extract it than can be obtained by burning it). This is common knowledge.
