  1. tag based system on Medical Billing Codes For Injury Via Turtle Among Thousands Created by New Law · · Score: 2

    Wouldn't a tag based system be more effective than trying to exhaustively list 140,000 things?
    Or can each of these 140,000 be used in a combination?

    What if you walked into a lamp post, fell and hit your head on a turtle, it got angry and bit your ear?

  2. Cases on Ask Director Eben Upton About the Raspberry Pi Foundation · · Score: 2

    Have you thought about creating cases for these things?
    A keyboard would make a good case, possibly with a USB hub built in.

  3. Fail? on NASA Discovers 7th Closest Star · · Score: 1

    Closest or Coldest?

  4. Re:If you don't like it on Pricing: Apple Defies Australian Government · · Score: 1

    But if you make an etch a sketch today Apple will sue you saying they invented a round bezel.

  5. Re:tmobile on Verizon Cracks Down On Jailbreak Tethering · · Score: 1

    We moved recently and didn't have cable internet at home yet so we were tethering.
    My fiancé tethered to her laptop and watched the entire Casey Anthony murder trial.
    She got a txt telling her that she'd be throttled, but it didn't even impact her ability to stream the trial video.

    Tmobile also has a "relationship" (twitter) with Steve Kondik (of Cyanogenmod custom ROM).
    They have sent him hardware.
    Whether you view this as them endorsing the jailbreaking / tethering community is up to you.

  6. Re:Thunderbolt = dead in two years. on External Thunderbolt Graphics Card On Its Way · · Score: 2

    So Apple and Sony are backing it.... sign me up

  7. Re:Did Google forget...? on Google Grabbed Locations of Phones, PCs · · Score: 1

    Sorry... I have never understood what was evil in the first place.
    They didn't crack WEP or WPA at each wifi hotspot and gather data did they?
    If you wifi is announcing stuff out loud for the world to hear, then why is Google in trouble for listening?

  8. Re:I wish Java went to Google rather than Oracle on Google: Sun Offered To License Java For $100M · · Score: 1

    Forget Java... I wish Google would continue the work it promised to do on Python. What is going on with unladen swallow?

  9. Re:wow google wow. on Google: Sun Offered To License Java For $100M · · Score: 1

    Its wrong on principal.
    Besides, if they want to control their own destiny, they should implement their own runtime.

  10. Re:This judge mostly gets it on Google: Sun Offered To License Java For $100M · · Score: 1

    Who cares if Android fragmented Java as a language.... Google is allowed.
    Isn't this about using IP and patents?

  11. Re:lol Linux 3.0 is a 0-beta release. NSFW. on Linux Kernel 3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Is zero even or odd?

  12. Re:Restricted doesn't mean anything on Anonymous Releases Restricted NATO Document · · Score: 2

    Restriced should be just as secured as Classified, Top Secret, Über Top Secret, etc.... in that only those two should see it are allowed to see it.
    Why have more than one security scheme. Have one that works and use it.

  13. Diaspora... where are you? on Facebook Is Most Hated Social Media Company · · Score: 2

    .... WTF... you waited for G+ to come out... now you might as well give up.

  14. Less user enablement is what we need on Wolfram Launches Computational Document Format · · Score: 2

    I can't stand the monstrosities they try to create using Word and Excel today... don't give them even more power... please

  15. Re:"Wash Me" on my car is visible from space on Sheikh Carves His Name In Desert So It's Visible From Space · · Score: 1

    What if you had a voice activated display and kept saying "enhance" over and over?

  16. "Wash Me" on my car is visible from space on Sheikh Carves His Name In Desert So It's Visible From Space · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Someone wrote "Wash Me" on my car.
    Pretty sure that its visible from space as well.

    Lately visible from space doesn't really mean anything.

  17. read another article on Aaron Swartz Indicted in Attempted Piracy of Four Million Documents · · Score: 2

    ... and it seems like once you start downloading too much it kicks you off or makes you contact someone.
    Seems like he evaded that little scheme and they're charging him with that.
    Insane... it'd be like charging someone for disabling pop-ups.

  18. Re:Justification? on Build Your Own Time Capsule Work-Alike For $200 · · Score: 1

    I'm not familiar with any of these other apps listed on here, but why would you have to pay to run a MediaWiki server?
    Who are you paying for this?

    http://www.amahi.org/tour/apps

    Other than that... it looks nice and clean.

  19. Re:What about power? on The Cost Of Broadband In Every Rural Home · · Score: 2

    So... then you get interwebs to that 1 power plant (if it doesn't have it already) and leverage the existing power transmission system.
    Then you're not running wire for every address that you want to deliver to.
    You need to connect 500 houses.... you can run 500 wires, or 1 wire.

  20. What about power? on The Cost Of Broadband In Every Rural Home · · Score: 1

    This seems perfect for the application of that broadband over power lines idea.
    They're getting power aren't they?.... if not..... then why would they need interwebs?

  21. What definition of mobile? on AMD Releases Fastest Mobile GPU · · Score: 1

    ... seriously?

  22. Do the birds get anything out of it? on Snail Discovered That Can Survive Digestion By Birds · · Score: 1

    Do the birds get any nutrition / energy from it?

  23. Should have ran this... on Hacker Exposes Florida's Voting Database — Again · · Score: 1

    ls -ail ???

    I think a better command would have been ....

    tar -c . | bzip2 | base64

  24. Re:Irrelevant on Brute-Force Password Cracking With GPUs · · Score: 1

    Alphanumeric would be 62 different characters.
    going from seconds to minutes to hours to days to years for a 7 character password....
    62 ** 7 / 14605.0 / 60.0 / 60.0 / 24.0 / 365.0 results in 7.6459888127245952

    So its actually around 7.7 years but thats with just one computer.
    If you had 7.7 computers, it would take a year.
    If you got a shitload of time on Amazon (which I hear has GPU rigs available for rent) you could shrink that time way down.

  25. I want 2 SIM cards on Apple Proposes Smaller SIM Card Design · · Score: 1

    Please.... if you propose a new standard make it better... not just smaller.
    I would love to see a single physical SIM card that is actually 2 in 1.
    Then in the future, I wouldn't have to carry around my personal smartphone and my company flip phone.
