  1. What's really scary... on Diebold Voter Fraud Rumors in New Hampshire Primaries · · Score: 1, Interesting

    ... is that the percentage for Clinton using the Diebold voting machine, is closely equal to the percentage lost by all other candidates *combined* using the Diebold voting machines...

  2. I think ... on US Courts Consider Legality of Laptop Inspection · · Score: 0

    ... for those who claim, this is intruding on personal life, it's the same as looking through your suitcase. Now that you know ahead of time, leave your personal info OFF the laptop.

  3. Ummmm on People Were More Likely To Google Themselves This Year · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How do they know that people are googling themselves??????

  4. What bothers me about this.. on No Right to Privacy When Your Computer Is Repaired · · Score: 1

    .. is: What if the info was personal, such as medical-related pictures of himself or bank records and such? Then what? On the other hand, he could rott in jail.

  5. Man dies... on 'Gamercize' Cardio at Our Desk · · Score: 1

    ... of heart failure for chatting (and excercising) too long at work.

  6. The reason why not on Where Are the Flying Cars? · · Score: 1

    The reason we don't see flying cars isn't because there is no infrastructure. It is because there is no need for flying cars. I fail to understand the benefit of a flying car and please do not compare it with an airplane. Airplane are mass transport system. Imagine if everyone owned a plane...

  7. SETI on Grid Computing Saves Cancer Researchers Decades · · Score: 1

    Although I did belong to the seti@home program at one time. I wonder if an update would instantly turn all its clients to be used into this cancer research grid instead.

  8. This article reminded me of ... on Chicago Developing 'Suspicious Behavior' Monitoring System · · Score: 1

    ... this video. Now is this considered suspicions behaviour? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYf5vYwakXE

  9. Art or not... on MIT Student Arrested For Wearing 'Tech Art' Shirt At Airport · · Score: 1

    .. She deserves a harsher sentence... And I am more of a liberal. This person was out to make an art statement, she chose her venue (the airport), her art and her attitude. She is very lucky to be alive, I bet if she were at an El-Al front desk, she would have been shot.

  10. SQL injection code? on Ameritrade Security Audit Finds Privacy-Busting Back Door · · Score: 1

    I am presuming that unauthorized, means that it wasn't quality controlled. It is faily easy to add SQL code intended for one purpose while forgetting to secure it against SQL injections.

  11. Re:15 seconds? on Surviving in Space Without a Spacesuit · · Score: 1

    I can imagine hicupping in space... Only once that is...

  12. No one... on New X-Files Movie · · Score: 1, Interesting

    can come close to David Duchovny to play the role of Fox mulder. Gillian Anderson as 'old' as she is, plays the perfect role as well. Intelligent, skeptic, yet unable to poke holes into Fox Mulder's theories. For me, X-Files ended when Duchovny left. It will resume again in this movie. I found the first movie excellent, of high caliber, big production and not cheezy whatsoever.

  13. I think on ZDNet Says AMD Posts Blatantly Deceptive Benchmark · · Score: 0

    companies SHOULD compare manufactured products compared to other manufactured products.

  14. it's stores? on Blockbuster Chooses Blu-ray · · Score: 0

    Nah, it should be "its stores" or is it "it's stores" or is it "it's store's" or even "its store's"

  15. I wonder... on MIT Wirelessly Powers a Lightbulb · · Score: 0

    ...how they can control power consumption. Imagine a hundred wireless electricity customers (WiTricity hackers) trying to tap into the grid.

  16. You can read minds eh? on Controlling Computers With the Brain · · Score: 0

    Read this (...)

  17. Secure data, or is it on Germany Declares Hacking Tools Illegal · · Score: 0

    "new rules tighten up the existing sanctions and prohibit any unauthorized user from disabling or circumventing computer security measures to access secure data" Data is not secure if the hacking tool was able to access it, thus the law doesn't apply.

  18. Re:We ARE alone on 28 New Planets Found Outside Solar System · · Score: 0

    I am not assuming and you are correct, however the methods we are using to look for life is to look for biological life.

  19. People don't ... on Who's Trading Your E-mail Addresses? · · Score: 0

    ...realize that spammers don't have to harvest email addresses anymore, they just use an email address generator that tries every single permutation, so for people who think companies are leaking their email address, they're wrong. Example: the generator will send to 1111-11-111@domain DOT com then 1111-11-112@domain DOT com and will eventually hit yours.

  20. We ARE alone on 28 New Planets Found Outside Solar System · · Score: 0

    think about it for a minute: - A planet needs to be at a precise distance from a star based on its chemical makeup. - A planet needs a trigger in order for life to emerge. - That life needs to be able to somehow sustain itself. - That life has to be able to survive celestial events. Odds that such a planet exists anywhere is astronomical. Earth is really one of a kind place.

  21. Unusual? on How the Pentagon Got Its Shape · · Score: 0

    What's so unusual about a pentagon? Should it have been an un-usual square? Or maybe an un-usual circle? I don't get it... Or is it just me..

  22. A double cheese burger... on Driving on Starch · · Score: 0

    Yeah hi, I'd like to order a double cheese burger, large fries and a startch fill up please.

  23. Of course... on Dell Ships Ubuntu 7.04 PCs Today · · Score: 0

    .. it won't be cheaper, why would it. I'd rather buy the frigging Windows PC, keep the license and install Linux on top of it. What a bunch of crap this is.

  24. C programming? on Top 10 Dead (or Dying) Computer Skills · · Score: 1, Informative

    dead or dying? Most if not all OSes are written in C (Not C++ or C#). Most server software is written in C (Not C++ or C#). Dear God, most languages, compiler and utilities in UNIX/Linux and Windows are written in C. The person who included C in the list is either not a programmer or simply an underpaid VB programmer :).

  25. Re:Pathetic, Im so glad I left NY! on New York Sues Dell for Poor Customer Service · · Score: 0

    Could it be that the NY state uses Dell for equipment?
