    I don't need to do that since I bought an amplified fractal antenna - box about the size of a large laptop with a wall wart that I keep under the TV though high probably would be better, I get stations 75 miles away even.

    I think the volume of telemarketing scams originating in India (where they block block of cell phone addresses in the USA to use as origination point) proves there are plenty of fraudsters that don't give a crap about your words on paper ratified by a room of politicians.

    not a deterrent, buying a block of cell phone addresses is common too (usually for telemarketing scam call origination)

    of course you're wrong

    nothing in human evolution for situation of vehicles at full speed with engine noise masked by city environment approaching. just as the myriads of animals killed by vehicles attest

  11. sentry safes are mainly for fire protection on A Robot At DEFCON Cracked A Safe Within 30 Minutes (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Sentry makes fire protection boxes. Those are not safes to protect again anything but the thief who only has a couple minutes to work. You can see average joes with a prybar and a sledge hammer (to force the bar into the steel coating the concrete) open these safes in less than 15 minutes.

    In fact the mechanism of these "safes" is very much like a bicycle padlock, not a real safe or vault's lock.

  12. yes it would kill most slashdotters and the editors to admit a startup with a boulder promises the moon.

  13. Re:Goddamit. on Honolulu Targets 'Smartphone Zombies' With Crosswalk Ban (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    a human seated in a couple tons or more of steel, plastic and glass going tens of kilometers per hour or more isn't natural, nor is having to watch out for such. Maybe making pedestrians and humans driving vehicles share the same pavement is bad engineering and dangerous to human life even before phones are brought into the picture.

    we're talking of a 5+ year timespan, not a couple years, on a device that commands a premium price.

    China and India have done genetic engineering on embryos. They are fine with abuse of children and women. Therefore, your first sentence is ignorant and wrong.

    The U.S. has large corporations that will use genetic engineering to make designer humans including for military purposes, because there is a market for it. They already have committed all possible crimes to the present date for power and money including making drugs that maim and kill, nothing will stop them from doing evil in the realm of genetic modification.
