  1. Re:Obsolete? on Network Hacking · · Score: 2, Insightful

    you cant social engineer a voice mail system, to truly social engineer you have to get a live person, which is becoming harder and harder to do over the fone these days

  2. Cheap Barcode Reader on Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition · · Score: 1

    Why dont they just hook up a moded cue-cat to a remote controled toy submarine?

  3. following america? on The Earth is Getting Fatter · · Score: 1

    as usual the rest of the world is becoming americanized

  4. obligatory sompsons reference on Scientists Discover 'Crime Gene' · · Score: 1

    Hibbert: Well, only one in two million people has what we call the "evil gene". [holds up a card showing DNA] Hitler had it, Walt Disney had it, and Freddy Quimby has it. [chuckles]

  5. Overcrowded Spectrum on Future of Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    i was under the impression that the whole point of HDTV was to free up the specturm, make the UHF frequencies and stuff avalible for other uses, with new wireless standards for everything theres simply not enough room on the spectrum for things like this, with HDTV lagging the spectrum is just becoming more crowded

  6. Re:Random Numbers UK Style on Rube-Goldberg Type Random Number Generators? · · Score: 1

    the UK has government projects that work right? amazing

  7. Re:How about ... on Rube-Goldberg Type Random Number Generators? · · Score: 1

    Samir: Yes, this is horrible, this idea!

  8. Re:Good Concept but too much equipment on Virtual Sword Fighting · · Score: 1

    if vr becomes avalible do you really think its going to be some expensive bluetooth gyroscopic control scheme, even if it doesn't have a big strand of wires theres gonna be at least a cable attached, do think people wouldn't steal a control device from something like this if they could, even if the hardware gets better, its still going to be expensive, arcades dont want to invest in some gigantic expensive machine thats goign to be broken easily

  9. Secure? on U.S. Gov't Planning To "Help Us" Secure Computers · · Score: 1

    so the US Government wants to distribute software patches to stop terrorists and *hackers*, i'm sure this software will include a backdoor to be used by the fbi, cia etc for purposes of 'homeland security', now with a government controlled backdoor on every windows machine what do you think the special intrest groups are going to do, the RIAA and MPAA already tried to sneak some sort of permision for a virus that destroyed pirated media files onto the counter terror bill or whatever, i'm sure with enough soft money they'd be allowed access to this counterterror backdoor and wreak havoc on any windows box they wanted, and i'm sure the government would love it if M$ started shipping windows with with their backdoor software in it all over the world... (coherent post disolves into wild iluminati conspiracy rant)

  10. too much pressure!! on Caffeine May Reduce Alzheimers · · Score: 1

    waugh, no alzheimers for tweek, sweet jesus, waugh!

  11. missed oportunity on Russia Loses Inflatable Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    well, a perfectly good oportunity to poke a little fun at the russian space program ruined by a small html flub making this page, like so many movie and airline seats promise to be, extra wide

  12. Re:No more DeCSS for me on Build Your Own Virus · · Score: 1

    i thought we got AIDS from having sex with monkeys?

  13. Re:Terrorist threat from cameras on Harvesting Capacitors for Backyard Munitions · · Score: 1

    u can very easily turn a disposable camera into a stun gun, replace the film w/ a large (film roll size) cap and then replace the flash bulb w/ wires going to leads on the end of the camera

  14. Re:Flux? on Harvesting Capacitors for Backyard Munitions · · Score: 5, Funny

    if you call radio shack and ask if they have flux capacitors in stock, they'll tell you they're out, but they should be getting some in about two weeks

  15. Re:Drug dealers do this !!! on Nintendo Hires Walking Gamers · · Score: 1

    they all ready do, there are always deals where u get a free game when u buy the system

  16. Monitor Inversion? on Nintendo Hires Walking Gamers · · Score: 3, Funny

    Will the guy be able to invert the monitor so if he gets bored he can play himself?

  17. Nature Will Fight Back on Will Earth Expire By 2050? · · Score: 1

    i know this will sound like something from some sci-fi channel production, but nature will find a balance with us, i'm personifying nature slightyly, but it will find a way to check our numbers and even things out, probably something in the form of a plauge, currently the aids epidemic is expected to kill tens of millions of people in africa in the next few decades, but thats hardly a dent in the world population of what will soon be 7 billion. the densest populated area of the world, southeastern asia would be a likely place for some form of a common virus to mutate into a deadly form, i'm not saying it should happen, human life is good i guess, blah blah blah, but a 3rd of the worlds population is living in an unequivalent percentage of the landmass and a plauge in that are would even things out, but before that happens, maybe we should just learn to concerve our resources and start looking for alternatives

  18. The Moon Isn't Ours? on Moon Rock Winds Up In Court · · Score: 1

    wait, i was under the assumption the moon WAS ours, i mean, we got there first, and then we stuck a flag in it

  19. alternatives on Microsoft Media Player "Security Patch" Changes EULA Big Time · · Score: 2, Informative

    forget windows media player, its features suck, it it has next to no plugins, for music use winamp 2.x it has cooler visualisations anyway and for video nullsoft just released a new version of winamp3, winamp is the superior media player and its FREE, suck on that bill

  20. Doctors? on Low-Tech Cell Phone Blocking · · Score: 2, Interesting

    a cell fone blocking system could be potentially life threatening, some doctors are allways on call, but does that mean they shouldn't enjoy a night out, if their cell fone is blocked and its an emergency a patient of theirs could die, this is why at a theatre if someones fone or pager goes off i ask them if their a doctor, if not i chuck ice at them for the rest of the show

  21. I Could Be Arrested on FBI Raids Homes and Seizes Bandwidth Pirates' PCs · · Score: 1

    this is ridiculous, how do they know it wasn't the companies fault, i use roadrunner and through some miracle my account is uncapped its nearly twice as fast as a T1 at times, i did nothing and its been like this since i got it 9 months ago, this is the cable comanies fault, not that i'm gonna complain, but now the feebs could be knocking down my door for the comany's mistake, they could disconnect our service, cuz we split the line for basic cable, but the cable company could call the feds for their screweup, beurocratic insanity

  22. Better Ending on Minority Report · · Score: 1

    I saw this movie last night, it was an errie glimpse into the future, adverts that recongnize us by name and such, it was very bladerunneresque, but i felt it ended on too much of an upnote, *SPOILER* it would have been a better commentary on the direction our society is headed if cruise was imprisoned permanantly at the and and the vote for the national pre-crime system passed, an innocent man would be imprissoned and a flawed system would bring 'justice' to the country

  23. weird insturments on Techno Teddy · · Score: 1

    isn't this thing just a theramin in teddy bear form?

  24. I already knew how it worked on Nitroglycerin Mystery Solved · · Score: 1

    i've known for several years how nitroglycerin works, it goes boom real good :D

  25. this is annoying to everyone else on Kazaa Usability Study · · Score: 1

    i'm sure everyone with a fast connection has come across this before, your downloading something on kazaa and u hit someone with a 2 megabit connection, you click on findo more files from this user, but when the search results come up you find the person has shared their entire drive, if you want anything else from them you have to scroll through thousands of files
