  1. Re:The ultimate irony on Kodak Kills Kodachrome · · Score: 1

    The nice thing about tape backups are that I can make two copies and store one off site :)

  2. Re:The ultimate irony on Kodak Kills Kodachrome · · Score: 1

    I use a digital camera, but I'm always sure to print the ones I want on my photo printer, before even saving a copy to my PC. I then back the photo's up to DDS-3 tape (Actually, the only thing on my PC I bother to back up at all)

  3. Re:Gravel roads are cheap but need more maintenanc on Broke Counties Turn Failing Roads To Gravel · · Score: 1

    Agreed, although if you drive along the shoulder (which most bicyclers do) you often sink in enough that it's easier just walk...

    Even most VHS copy protection (macrovision).

    Sorry, Us Canadians are just angry that since you Americans bought Tim Hortons you've been serving us microwaved from frozen donuts. Give us some real donuts and maybe we'll take our hands off your media!

  6. Re:What? on Man Accidentally Boarded Up Inside His Foreclosed Home · · Score: 1

    From a comment on the article page:
    Here are a few details from the print version that were left out of the online version: -The house was paid off before he was born -He was reaised in this house and it became his after his parents passed -A loan was taken out against the house for a new roof, to pay off credit card debt and for "other expenses"

    Actually, I'd be suprised if the weight of the sd reader (an ic on the logic board, a few contacts and a small tin sheild) wouldn't weigh less than the small rectangle of aluminum case they would remove where the card goes it..

  8. Re:Free gas courtesy of Mircosoft! on Cybercriminals Refine ATM Data-Sniffing Software · · Score: 1

    Agreed, Seeing as most stations have slews of cameras, he's rather lucky not to be caught.

  9. Re:At least it's not Vista . . . on Cybercriminals Refine ATM Data-Sniffing Software · · Score: 1

    Agreed, I've often accidentally overdrawn my account without notice, and even if I deposit it right back, I still get overdraft charges...

    Oh Great, That will work well.. The terrorists will assume these blurs are all military bases, etc. like they are in the rest of the country and bomb them all! Might as well paint a target on them instead!

  12. Re:And they will hit the shelves in... on Laser Blast Makes Regular Light Bulbs Super-Efficient · · Score: 1

    Actually they do make 3-way CFL bulbs, You pay an arm an a leg for them, but they do exist.

    Unfortunatly I'm very clutsy and unless the bulb is in a ceiling fixture, I break it with in three month... This makes CFLs very unpracticle for most areas in my house.

  13. Re:Digital Retro? on Polaroid Lovers Try To Revive Its Instant Film · · Score: 1

    Unfortunatly, it looks like it uses the same film as the cameras, which is now discontinued!

    While slightly larger, the Canon Selphy (http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/product/30490/review/canon_selphy_cp740.html) prints photos using dye sublimation rather than inkjet onto glossy 4x6's. Other than the backside of the paper, hard to tell the difference from most drugstore photo shops.

  14. Re:Unbiased opinion? BLAME CANADA on US Federal Government Launches Data.gov · · Score: 1

    I've been in two accidents, Ford SUV t-bones Dodge Neon into a sign and GM Pickup t-bones Rear end of Dodge Neon. (me in the neon)

    In both cases no one had more than bruises. In the first case, both vehicles were totaled (Equal damage). In the second case, we drove away and popped the dent in the plastic back out with a prybar leaving only creases in the paint while the truck was leaving coolant and the front frame was badly damaged.

    TFA mentions something about 'Atari' hardware from the 70's at the bottom.

    Well, depending on whose money is lost with the website problems, I could see a lot of bankers in fear for their lives.

  17. Re:But does it work? on Court Orders Breathalyzer Code Opened, Reveals Mess · · Score: 1

    By the sounds of it, it works so long as all the hardware is fine and new. However if any electronics malfunction it either won't know about it, or ignore it unless it hasppens 32 times in a row! Meaning a broken one could give erroneos results every other test without ever raising any red flag!

    OTOH while slow, their internet traffic is then filtered/scanned by AV(if applicable) as it would be when they are in the office.

  19. Re:Question on Hackers Broke Into FAA Air Traffic Control Systems · · Score: 1

    While these systems obviously need to be connected to a network, I really can't see the need for connection to a public network, or even their internal company network.

    They should have a separate, secured network for these systems to communicate with each other. I can see the convenience of management/support staff having access to these networks, but it's clearly not worth the risk.

    Unless of course there are still no approved devies becuase they will only be approving direct links to the brain...

    But, the spoons aren't that sharp?! I mean, I think I'm be just as likely to cut myself with a fork if I was careless.

  22. Re:as long as books are cheap on Amazon Kindle DX Details Revealed · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Your lucky, most every text book I needed yearly editions, where there essentially mix up the contents so you are forced to buy the newest one to keep in line with the rest of the class...

    That said, most gas mowers are horribly inefficient. I can drive for many, many kilometres with the same amount of gas I use on my small lawn.
