  1. So.... on External Airbag Designed to Protect Pedestrians · · Score: 1

    .. your head bounced off the external airback, as you fall to the ground, hitting breaking your skull on the pavement. Ohhh I see where this is going, you can now sue the city instead of the driver.

  2. Drepper's comments .. on Debian Switching From Glibc To Eglibc · · Score: 1

    .. are very typical of opensource developpers. Try asking Wietse Venema (Postfix developper) for a special feature... That being said, this isn't a feature request, rather a bug (from the embedded perspective). A special module could be written for embedded devices, that way, the module can be enhanced, bug-fixed or whatever, without negatively affecting the main program. But wait! What if the module has a nifty feature eh????

  3. In California on Bill Would Declare Your Blog a Weapon · · Score: 1

    From what I understand (lawyer please confirm this), if you are in your house or yard, you can yell, scream and call anyone by any name. Once you step into public property (street or park), you can get prosecuted. Now all we have to do is determine if one's blog is their own property (or realm) or is considered a public realm.

  4. Is this ... on Microsoft Releases Super-Secure XP to US Air Force · · Score: 1

    .. MS's admission that an insecure OS version was purposefully released to the public?

  5. If I am root on Intel Cache Poisoning Is Dangerously Easy On Linux · · Score: 1

    If I am root, why do I need to use 'Intel cache poisoning' to install a rootkit?

  6. I wonder on Obama To Get Secure BlackBerry 8830 · · Score: 1

    If anyone against the Obama administration policies worked on the software / hardware security. I would certainly not want a 'special' made piece of equipment that is supposedly secure.

  7. 3 apps? on Windows 7 Starter Edition — 3 Apps Only · · Score: 1

    AND - You can't move the mouse too fast, because CPU usage will sky rocket.

  8. Re:Why Pay for a Degree on BYU Prof. Says University Classrooms Will Be "Irrelevant" By 2020 · · Score: 1

    Mmmmm not so. Where you get the information is irrelevant, books ,Internet or iPod. Prove that you know the material is what gets you the degree. The reason why a university has to vouch for you is because there has to a standard by which your knowledge is tested, who asks for these standards? Employers.

  9. I think on How to Charge Your Cellphone Using Wasted Heat · · Score: 1

    a vehicle functions the way it was designed, meaning if it generates heat, components will function properly based on the fact that heat is dissipated around them. Once heat is harvested and turned into energy, components don't function as expected. I wonder just how many modifications these vehicles will have to take.

  10. Re:That was easy on E-Merlin "Super-Telescope" Switched On · · Score: 1

    Now IS earlier

  11. Shame on you on Trick Used To Pass French "Three Strikes" · · Score: 1

    My guess, and knowing the French and the northern suburbs of Paris, is that there will be riots because of this and the law will be striken. The French, unlike citizen of countries who shall remain anonymous, actually protest instead of sitting in their couches watching their lives (or reality shows) go by. SHAME ON YOU PAL!

  12. Lies on Lower Air Pollution Means Longer Life · · Score: 1

    All lies; there is no direct evidence between the two. This is the same as saying "Direct connection between living next to a nuclear waste dump and life longetivity".

  13. Wooohooo!!!! on Lower Air Pollution Means Longer Life · · Score: 1

    It is now cheaper to polute the environment!

  14. I don't think .. on German Police Union Chief Wants Violent Game Ban After Shooting · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe they should ban guns?

  15. More fear .. on Earth Under Threat From Dark Comets · · Score: 1

    Yeah that's it, let's introduce more fear, so we can all buy stress relief pills, and go to our leaders for protection, regardless how lousy those leaders are.

  16. Windows 7 on MS Confirms Six Different Versions of Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    means 7 versions. The 6 mentioned, plus one more, un-released yet.

  17. What??? on Treating ADHD With Games · · Score: 1

    Video games are the cause of ADHD! The brain processes so much and so fast, simulating motion, when in fact the body doesn't experience any motion. When you're off the same, your body is still (because you become so lazy), yet your brain wants more interactive gaming, right then and now.

  18. Hmm on Sunday Evening, the New Web Rush Hour · · Score: 1

    now is that 5-6pm PST, CST or GMT?

  19. I am a proud ... on A Look Back At Kurzweil's Predictions For 2009 · · Score: 1

  21. Re:Keep Linux out of defense on British Royal Navy Submarines Now Run Windows · · Score: 1

    There are other alternative besides Linux. QNX comes to mind.

  22. Maybe ... on Google Was 3 Hours Away From DOJ Antitrust Charges · · Score: 1

    ... they were in different time zones and didn't realize it was still ok to do so?

  23. I can't help on Ethical Killing Machines · · Score: 1

    but think of Battle Star Galactica's Cylons

  24. Re:Random access on Samsung Mass Produces Fast 256GB SSDs · · Score: 1

    really? You actually believe that flash memory is instant regardless of which part of memory you are on?

  25. Geico on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 1

    would certainly not object.
