  2. Re:Efficiency on Visiting Our Red Space Neighbor · · Score: 1
    There have been a lot of rendezvous and docking maneuvers in space and no one has yet been killed as a result. Mir was almost lost due to a fender bender with a Soyuz, but that's as close as it has gotten. I question the risk value assigned to these events in this analysis.

    What about Soyuz 11?

    Wouldn't that make it possible to copy it onto transparent paper using a different color ink and then overlay it, so that the number would show up?

    Yes, but then the intended recipient will know it has been opened and change their PIN. It's supposedly tamper-evident.

  7. Re:PIN number in the mail? How strange. on Graphics Programs Uncover Secret PINs · · Score: 1

    I haven't heard of it here in the US, but maybe it depends on the bank.

  10. Re:That... doesn't make sense. on Did Microsoft Invent The iPod? · · Score: 1

    Any company that had the idea before MS (and can show it) has prior art; whether or not they were first out of all companies is irrelevant.

  11. Re:Parents can't say NO to their kids, today on Parents 'ignore game age ratings' · · Score: 1

    Even if a file system has extended attributes, how do you transfer them over http/ftp?

  20. Re:Scapegoat on Government Pressure on ESRB · · Score: 1
    Politician X decides that making a lot of noise on this is stupid. Next anti-X campaign ad:

    "Congressman X doesn't support banning pornography from the video games your children play. Pedophile? You be the judge." (sinister music in background)
  21. Legal enforcement? on Government Pressure on ESRB · · Score: 1

    What legal enforcement is there behind the R rating besides that it's illegal to show/sell porn to people under 18?
