  1. I love SUV's on Couple Who Catch Cop Speeding Could Face Charges · · Score: 1

    I get them to chase my mini onto highway ramps at speeds they could never safely take them... and watch them scramble to stay on the road (right side up).

    They always take the bait :-p tailgating jackasses.

  2. google to france on French Court Orders Google to Stop Competing Ad Displays · · Score: 1

  3. Samsung on UK Group Wants Mandatory Flash For Phone Cams · · Score: 1

    Samsung has been shipping phones with the shutter sound permanently enabled, even in "silent mode"

    I hate "interface noises", especially the shutter sound.

    I emailed their customer service to ask about turning if off on my sgh-p107, they said it was not possible because of a government regulation

  4. Re:The mythology of crack babies on Round-Up Ready Coca Plants · · Score: 1

    Its not just low birth-weight babies, there have been several articles published on the effects of prenatal cocaine exposure.

    Here are a few examples of what has been found to be significantely "affected" in these children:
    Behavioral tendencies
    Expressive and Receptive Language Functioning
    Early language development
    Neurobehavioral functioning
    Language development in school age children

    There are a few Neurodevelopmental studies in urban areas with a history of heavy maternal cocaine use (miami, new york) whose children are in the 12-13 year range. These programs are finding more problems in the kids' "executive functions", specifically decision making, attention, planning, and working memory.

    queue the SCO = POS jokes

  6. Re:3D Scanner on What (non-PC) Hardware Do You Hack? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    a second laser directly above the first one will "fill-in" the gaps created by the first pointer being shadowed on the object being scanned. just an idea

  11. apple one file programs on Mom Meets Linux - A Lindows 4.0 Review · · Score: 1

    the "one file" is actually a folder, and the ".ini or .conf" are .plist files kept in your "Preferences" folder (in your ~/Library).

  12. Re:What about syncing cross platform? on Two New Handhelds From Sony · · Score: 1

    the third part software for clie syncing is called "the missing sync" an you only need it for some of the older clie's, ive used a peg-sj30 with the hotsync software from palm.com, and isync (and ical)

  13. Re:RAID and Firewire on Managing RAID on Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    firewire is a bus, raid is a configuration.

    there are raid arrays with firewire interfaces, and software raid using firewire drives is quite possible. (osx makes it easy as pie)

    here are some cool firewire raid products:

    http://www.usbshop.com/firewireraid.html
    http://www.sancube.com/
    http://www.voyager.uk.com/products_master.asp?prod Type=firewire

    the x-stream from sancube has two firewire busses for double the speed, or for sharing.

  14. heat issue on 12" Powerbook: Slick and Sexy, But Not Without Issues · · Score: 3, Informative

    i have the same problem on my ibook, the heat in the front left corner is from hdd usage, (enable hd sleep and it wont get too hot), and the colorspace of the lcd should be changed to sRGB in the color tab of the display pref panel to make it look way better.

    lets not forget the warm family wearing hearing protection.

  17. Re:They're charging $200 for this? on Review: EyeTV · · Score: 1

    because the box captures straight to an mpeg stream, with a card you would need to crunch it on your comp.

    If your girlfriend has any services receptive to your connection, make sure they arent public services, or you might have other problems to deal with.

  19. alien heads? on Scenes From Bob Young's New Tech Circus · · Score: 3, Informative

    like the electronic band with the alien heads
