  1. Alrighty, roll out the kennedy conspiracy on Project Censored 2003 Underreported Stories · · Score: 1

    [i] One similar program was Operation Northwoods. In 1963, America's top military brass presented a plan to President John Kennedy that called for a fake terrorist campaign -- complete with bombings, hijackings, plane crashes and dead Americans -- to provide "justification" for an invasion of Cuba, a Mafia/corporate fiefdom which had recently been lost to Castro. Kennedy rejected the plan, and was killed a few months later. [/i]

  3. I've been seeing Linux commercials here in Europe on IBM's New Linux Advertising · · Score: 1

    For a while.

    They have this basketball game, with one side being hackers, viruses, etc, and the other side Linux, IBM, etc...

    Or is this one somehow not a linux commercial?

  4. Damn I'm a pessismist on RIAA Prepares Legal Blitz Against Filesharers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I really can't see anything positive coming out of this, people are going to be screwed (pay up because they can't afford the lawyer), the pblic won't care, and the RIAA will just gain more momentum.

    The laws that make it possible won't get changed either.

    *sigh*

    That's a MAN baby!

    Heh, actually, I counted the obvious girl, and the blonde in the back row. The green stripy shirt looks a lot like a rugby shirt, it's a tough call. I went for man.

    I count 2 girls there, doesn't seem much worse a ratio than your average lan party...

    Or your average tech show when you subtract the booth babes.

  7. I for one, welcome our new on Will Humanoid Robots Take All the Jobs by 2050? · · Score: 1

    Do you think robots could understand what no mayonaise means?

    If they do, I'm sold.

  8. Re:Getting worse on The Growing Field Guide To Spam Techniques · · Score: 1

    Upgrade, and change scores.

    I'm using 2.55 and every two or three days, when I get a spam that slips past, I figure out which filter could have been higher, and adjust. I've kept our spamassassin tuned, and I'd say we're running at about 96% accurate (no false positives though).

    It's only 20 minutes a week, maximum.

  10. Re:Sounds great on MIT Students' Audiopad Mixes Electronic Music · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'd imagine it'd sound somethng like pac-man dying, or a wind up music box 2 seconds before it's completely static.

  11. The only thing I would like on Evaluating a System for Selling and Delivering MP3s? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Might be the option to have cd quality files (different format maybe?), maybe for a slightly higher price.

    Especially if it's something like ambient music, where hearing everything is important.

  12. Ok, I think I understand this on Grid Computing Coming Of Age · · Score: 1

    Decent pun too.

  14. How do they get to look at closed source? on Software Code Quality Of Apache Analyzed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    And don't most NDAs for when they do let you look forbid any competetive analysis?

    Or am I just too far out of that line of work to know how these things work?

  15. I'm sure it will do wonders for.. on Swiping Out Cancer · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Insurance companies as well.

    Go to your job interview, pee in this cup, swipe this in your mouth.

  20. Re:Voice is better on Gesture Control for Automotive Peripherals · · Score: 1

    He glosses over it, you mean.

    Noise interference for sound, light interference for cameras.

    I think a combo as he suggests might be better, but honestly, I'm less likely to say something that could be interpreted as a command, than I am moving my hand in a way that could be interpreted as one.

  21. Re:Voice is better on Gesture Control for Automotive Peripherals · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Really though, voice recognotion is good enough to differntiate between different owners, my cell phone now will make calls if I tell it to.

    Why even bother with hands, they should really stay on the wheel.

    Or, for a more fun one

    1. Get in car
    2. Start car
    3. Accelerate up to 100mph
    4. Downshift into first
    5. Repeat as necessary
