  1. Re:RTFA and LATFP (Look at the fine picture) on ABIT's Secure IDE Motherboard · · Score: 1

    It's only secure until a court orders you to turn over the dongle. Then you're screwed.

  2. This is surprising? on Giant Hailstones Can Spoil Your Flight · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Are we supposed to be amazed that huge hail can damage a plane?

  3. ThinkQuest on Interesting and Educational Web Pages for Children? · · Score: 1

    ThinkQuest maintains a huge library of past entries, all of which are educational and most of them are entertaining. Your cousins should be able to find information on any subject they're interested in there.

  4. Re:Where are the Concorde replacements? on Concorde to be Grounded · · Score: 1

    The noise is from breaking the speed of sound, not the engines. As long as you breask the sound barrier the nosie will be there.

  5. Re:Artificial intelligence in under 20 years on The Status Quo Of Computer Vision · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We already have basic AI - we have UAVs that can plan their own route and complete their mission completely autonomously. Most commercial robots that are being released have enough AI to determine where they are, what their goal is, and how to perform that goal. In my opinion, that is definitely "basic" AI.

  6. The Best you'll find on Looking for Unbiased War News? · · Score: 5, Informative

    the best source I've been able to find is Guerrilla News Network (gnn.tv)

  7. Re:Fight back! on Fighting Back Against Messenger Popup SPAM · · Score: 1

    The messages can be sent to computers that aren't on the local network.

  8. Pointless on Should Every Retail Outfit Have A Webpage? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Having a website for every store would be both pointless and a waste of money. For most stores or the third largest producer of bulk candy, you'll have a good idea of where it is before going online. For the most part, businesses with web sites have them to sell their goods online, but do you really want to buy your candy online and then pay shipping and wait a week to get it when you can go to a mall or grocery store to get the same thing for the same price? Having a website would cost money, and like any other business, they'd pass this expense on to you. Just my $.02 tpearson

  9. Re:Uhm, no you don't. on Australian Argues for Freedom of Mooning · · Score: 1

    Sort of, but the second amendment does give the right to the citizens and the states to bear arms. A ban would be sensible but it would also be unconstitutional because the second ammendment doesn't limit the right to just the states.
