  1. Re:Correct me if I'm wrong on California Governor Vetoes Ban On Warrantless Phone Searches · · Score: 1

    This makes sense. I stand corrected.

  2. Correct me if I'm wrong on California Governor Vetoes Ban On Warrantless Phone Searches · · Score: 1

    Everyone complaining above agrees that an officer who arrests a hit and run offender should not be allowed to search the defendants phone to see if they were talking / texting at the time of the accident?

  3. Re:Mixed feelings on Ubiquitous Computing Gadget To Teach Coding · · Score: 1

    Wonderful, thank you!!!

  4. Re:From a Republican? on Rep. Bill Posey Introduces 'Back To the Moon' Bill · · Score: 1

    Too subtle...

  5. Re:But when does it start paying off? on Solar Panels Increase Home Value · · Score: 2

    30K for how much? I paid 11.5K for 3kw.

    Also, instead of thinking about paying it off, think about it as an investment. The premise being, you get your cash back when you sell your home.

    I get a 12% annual return on my solar investment. That'll improve as energy gets more expensive.

  6. Re:Stargate on Does Syfy Really Love Sci-Fi? · · Score: 2

    They should bring some SG-1 and Atlantis characters together for a new series that continues that vein.

  8. Re:Of course it's going public on Facebook Stock Going Public? · · Score: 1

    If I apply your reasoning, buying GOOG at it's IPO was a bad idea. As was MSFT, AAPL...

  9. Re:Driving While Asian on Bad Driving May Have Genetic Basis · · Score: 1

    You have to give credit where it's due, driving slower than idle takes practice. Yeah, I live there.

  10. Re:You know on When Software Leaks (and What Really Goes Down) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As someone who often speaks publicly, I have trained myself to replace "ummm" with "you know." It works very well in verbal communication because it buys the speaker time and doesn't make either party uncomfortable or appear dumb. I guess it doesn't translate well to print, I'll have to remember that should I be interviewed.

  11. Re:Autodestruct? on Microsoft Plans Largest-Ever Patch Tuesday · · Score: 1

    I'll wager not just ME, but all versions that are not Windows 7.

  12. Re:At least... on Russia's New Official Holiday — Programmer's Day · · Score: 2, Funny

    Two bananas were standing on the river bank in the dead of winter. A turd floats by and says 'come on in, the water's great!' One banana says to the other, 'you believe that shit?'

  13. Re:Meanwhile, in Verizonville... on Motorola Introduces Android Phones, Social Software · · Score: 3, Funny

    Close the blinds. Put your dresses on. Apply lipstick.

    Read about Java gc. You'll find the section on generational gc interesting.

  15. Re:um...grats? on Yahoo's "Chicken Coop" Data Center Design · · Score: 1

    I care. I have 10 years worth of email on their servers. And I'm still quite happy with My Yahoo page.

  16. Re:Lucky for them on AT&T's Bad Math Strikes MythBusters' Savage · · Score: 1

    For the rest of us, there's class action...

  17. Gay Robot on Researcher Resurrects the First Computer · · Score: 1
    Speaking of lustful computers, earlier this decade a robot went gay after a spilled wine cooler fried his circuits.

  18. Not any Mac... on Beginning iPhone Development · · Score: 1

    The SDK requires an Intel Mac.

  19. How about nacho-engineering on More Climate Scientists Now Support Geoengineering · · Score: 1

    Seriously. I'm addicted to 7-11 nachos. But I live near the beach and have to keep up my figure.

    Please figure out how to get rid of the fat so I can consume more, and more, AND MORE!!!!

    Financial engineering worked, right?

  20. $19000 Base MSRP on Redesigned, Bulkier Honda Insight to Challenge Prius · · Score: 2, Informative
  21. Re:The old black question on Bigger, Cheaper Solar Cells · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What's a better use of oil, making persistent sources of energy, or driving to 7-11 for nachos?

    Sorry grandpa, your /. id confirms you're freaking ancient.

  25. Card readers on What Examples of Security Theater Have You Encountered? · · Score: 1

    Often times in commercial property, card readers (and occupancy sensors) are a great way to determine if equipment (HVAC, lighting, water chillers) for a section the building actually need to be on. It's nothing nefarious, but it's not really security.
