  1. since no one else jumped on this one on Microwave Steelmaking · · Score: 3, Funny
    ...eliminating the need for high-cost coke.

    finished rehab?

  2. Re:almost every state already has this on Maine to Launch Internet Sex-Offender Registry · · Score: 1

    Me and my buddies at work were messing around putting in everyone's name on the one for our state, found one of our co-workers in it with picture and "victim under 18" at the bottom.
    Gossip spread pretty quick, he was called into the boss's office later that day. He must have had a good story cause he's still working there today.
    creepy huh?

  4. Re:Heres how I'd do it: on Self-Destructing DVD's Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    I don't think there is much you can do with a used DVD either. You get a deposit back on a beer keg because they reuse it, same with bottles and cans, they have valuable materials in them.
    A blacked out DVD disc really won't do anything. (i don't think they would recycle the material either considering how optically clean the end product needs to be)

  6. Arnold should wear a helmet. on New Terminator 3 Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    He always manages to scrape off one side of his face (and whatever hides the red LED in his eyeball), revealing that he is in fact a robot. Maybe if he used some sort of protective gear?

  7. it doesn't matter on Foiling Cinema Pirates · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Even if everyone entering a movie theater gets a pat-down and a background check, its not gonna change anything in hong kong where most of the camera-copies come from. I think most that are done here involve a little greasing of palms anyways, that wouldn't stop anything.
    Hollywood is just wasting more money that they are going to get back from us through $14.25 movie tickets.

    tpical. jst becuz you wnt to an "acredited" colege and got a "degree" in engineering

    are these writing skills what you get from an "unacredited" college? next time try a 4-year school.

    couldn't resist.

  9. Re:Next: "Political Scientists" really a scientist on Are Programmers Engineers? · · Score: 1
    Political Science majors are students who feel they have to go to college, but are not interested in, or have no affinity for, math, science, physics, medicine, law, agriculture, mechanics, chemistry, biology, literature, art, education, business, accounting, engineering or animal husbandry. Basically any field that creates, solves, produces, or discovers anything.

    not to hate, but if you're fortunate enough to be able to go to college (which only 1% of the world is) you should do something that benefits society. Writing a paper about race-relations is not science.

    me, i'm a computer engineer specializing in machines of oppression.

  10. Re:As to be expected on First Test of Utah Anti-Spam Law Dismissed · · Score: 3, Insightful
    If you opt-out, you need someone who's trained to delete

    very true, but i'd expect a well designed system just to use a boolean Y or N in the database as to whether the customer wants to receive mail, rather than deleting the whole record. Just because they can't mail to a customer doesn't mean they can't use the info in other ways.

  11. Re:oh goodie on Clothing Yourself In Technology · · Score: 3, Informative

    Actually reading further into that Levi cellphone pocket article it says that the radiation protection is only on the inner side of the pocket between you and the phone. So as long as that material doesn't absorb any more radiation then your leg would, its not going to cut reception.
