    So, who should have custody of the child, the father...or the boss?

    Boss gets it on the weekends, father gets it during the week.

  8. Re:1980s? on Robosaurus · · Score: 5, Informative

    I vaguely remember seeing television commercials for car rallies and destruction derbies featuring Robosaurus over a decade ago. How slow a news day is it?

    You're right. I remember seeing Robosaurus at a monster truck show around 12 years ago. I had to check the article twice to see if I was missing something. Maybe it was a newer version, they added some Weapons of Mass Destruction, etc., but nope. It's the exact same Robosaurus I saw years ago.

  9. Switching bands? on Legoland Introduces Wi-Fi Tracking for Kids · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I wonder how hard the wristbands would be to remove?
    What's to stop kids from switching their wristbands?

    I can't imagine being unable to find my kid, tracking him down, and finding some other kid instead.

    The difference between a cosmonaut and an astronaut being what, exactly?

  12. Re:I've already hacked it. on Microsoft Preps 'Janus' Music Copy-Prevention Scheme · · Score: 1

    There are still software drivers such as TotalRecorder which are able to record outgoing audio as an input stream. I'm not sure of this, but I imagine that that sort of thing doesn't suffer the loss of quality that trying to recapture the sound after it's been outputted does.

    This feature is also available in SoundBlaster Audigy2 cards. I often set MP3/WAVE out as Mic In to stream songs to friends over chat programs. I've also used it to record audio off of a digital radio stream, with no apparent loss in quality.

  13. Re:ATM's on Seeing-Eye Computer Guides Blind · · Score: 1

    Maybe now we can stop paying for braille buttons at drive-through ATM's.

    Yes, we could. The blind person could drive up, scan the buttons using the iCare Reader, do their banking, and drive off.

  14. Re:Very funny... on Linux Now Booted On GameCube System · · Score: 1

    Take a look at the windows title bar. "Dolwin -- Nintendo Dolphin Emulator for Win32" That was before they were able to get the kernel to actually boot, just uncompress itself.

  15. Re:Forgive my ignorance... on Linux Now Booted On GameCube System · · Score: 1

    The bus the memory cards (and the broadband adapter) are on is limited to 27MB/s.

  16. Re:"Red Planet" on Army Looks at Robotic Dogs · · Score: 0

    Don't forget the kids movie "Small Soldiers". ;)

  17. Well... on MySQL 5.0.0 (Alpha) Released · · Score: -1, Redundant

    The version number sure is misleading.

  18. Re:Where is it? on Breaking the Gigapixel Barrier · · Score: 1

    "Final image file size: 2,068,654,055 bytes" I wonder why...

  19. Re:bluetooth on iPod-Jacked · · Score: 1

    I agree. It'd also be similar to when people blast music in their cars. Some of them even use MP3-CD players. ;)
