  1. Re:So the government is forcing me to buy somethin on House Passes Massive Medical Insurance Bill, 219-212 · · Score: 1

    >> The Republicans set us on the road to financial ruin, and the Democrats have just floored the accelerator.

    Please stop talking about Democrats and Republicans as if they were separate entities.

  2. Re:Smells like bullshit on Google Slams Viacom For Secret YouTube Uploads · · Score: 1

    -or-

    Never try to bullshit someone who owns all your base.

  3. Re:Viacom - the verb on Google Slams Viacom For Secret YouTube Uploads · · Score: 1

    It's good to have friends at the NSA so Google can make allegations like that with certainty.

  4. The test on Startup's Submerged Servers Could Cut Cooling Costs · · Score: 1

    Oh..... there's something Google didn't think of and try.

  5. Re:firefox is getting old on Microsoft Previews IE9 — HTML5, SVG, Fast JS · · Score: 1

    Firefox has been old.

    Chrome now has firebug and adblock, and as promised everyone has left FF for it.

  6. Re:So you think its really that easy? on MySpace To Sell User Data · · Score: 1

    Almost. Backups and versions don't get deleted any more, they just get added to sentences like:

    Casandra is in use at Rackspace, Digg, Facebook, Twitter, Cisco, Mahalo, Ooyala, and more companies that have large, active data sets. The largest production cluster has over 100 TB of data in over 150 machines.

    Historical data will most likely be useful to someone someday. Also, I have a collection of a large percentage of all AIM profiles from the early 2000s. Will that be useful some day? Probably not... probably.

  7. Old on Yale Law Student Wants Government To Have Everybody's DNA · · Score: 1

    DNA samples are currently collected at birth. Look it up.

  8. Re:Just call your CC company on Classmates.com Settles Lawsuit Over Phony Friends · · Score: 1

    This is false. I have reversed subscription billing charges from one of those companies that run a store front through Yahoo. This included a backlog of 7 monthly payments.

    Always reverse charges, you make money for Visa, and the merchant pays a large fee.

  9. I'll make my own conclusions on Toyota Acceleration and Embedded System Bugs · · Score: 1

    Where can I download a dump of the original and reflashed accelerator code that is available and driving around on countless cars today?

  10. Notes on Researchers Beam 230Mb/sec Wireless Internet WIth LEDs · · Score: 1

    I read about this at FOE 2010 in Japan.

    This technology is anticipated for lab-like environments and obviously the baud rate is high enough that humans are not affected.

    Also, this technology will power Boeing's Dreamliner for connection of audio signals from the remote headset to the entertainment system. The obvious questions are: what if I dont want light (it will be dim... very dim); what if I cover the headphones (it wont work); what about powering them (no response there).

  11. Re:Tracking of work? Nothing new on US Immigration Bill May Bring a National Biometric ID Card · · Score: 1, Informative

    >> Does Congress really live in a fantasy land where illegal immigrants are hired to positions where they supply SSNs, drivers licenses, etc?

    No. The public lives in a fantasy land. They also believe that the only thing between them and immortality (guaranteed healthcare for the rest of their natural and unnatural lives) is passage of a bill in congress.

  12. Translation on Jobs Says No Tethering iPad To iPhone · · Score: 1

    When Steve Jobs says "no", all I hear is "not until you jailbreak it".

  13. Re:I'm not saying it can't be on Major ISPs Help Fund BitTorrent User Tracking Research · · Score: 1

    And there's nothing wrong with that... that's why we have transfer caps.

    The only problem is that those caps should be negotiated ahead of time.

    I am predicting that we have approached a point where the second derivative with respect to time of the public's sentiment towards Google will be negative for a long time.

    How much a company outsources, per job function, is private information.

    Where in the constitution does it say that corporations need to give out this information?
