  1. Re:New and interesting technology on Mobile Sharing: "Bezos Beep" Vs. Smartphone Bump · · Score: 1

    Computers from the 80s used to do this, the only difference is that they didn't include urls.

  2. Re:Interesting move... but the timing could be bet on Kaspersky's Exploit-Proof OS Leaves Security Experts Skeptical · · Score: 1

    As someone who's known Aryeh professionally over many years, I do know that he's well qualified to make these comments.

    While I've never worked for a competitor, as he has, I have been at times extremely active in the antimalware circuit and do trust Kaspersky software. They're good people, and smart as hell, just need to work on improving their products some.

    That aside; Hey goretsky, long time no see :)

  3. Re:Colour me a cynic for saying this... on Fans Bring Back Half Life Game Series: Black Mesa Mod Launches 9/14 · · Score: 2

    As someone who assisted in making a mod that took 7 years to release for Deus Ex, just because it's taken time doesn't mean the work is done. Volunteer projects have people coming and going, changes in art decisions, changes in tools, etc.

  4. Re: on Leap Second Bug Causes Crashes · · Score: 2

    Configuration of the system to only accept 23:59:59 and not 23:59:60

  5. Re:Compel them to show up? on Righthaven Stops Showing Up In Court · · Score: 1

    Several of the cases already have righthaven owing money to the defendant, which they are unable to pay.

  6. Re:Even with a major earthquake on Minor Quakes In the UK Likely Caused By Fracking · · Score: 1

    The problem is with the above-ground storage not being proper and leaking down into the water table.

    Now do you want the Kool-Aid?

  7. Obligitory Doctor Reference... on Study Claims Cellphones Implicated In Bee Loss · · Score: 1

    Maybe they're just going back home to Melissa Majoria.

  8. Re:semi related question on How PC Game Modders Are Evolving · · Score: 1

    Source's SDK is all fun.

    Just keep him away from UnrealEd.

  9. Re:Another overblown statements in TFS today... on Chemical Cocktail Can Keep a Heart Viable 10 Days, Outside the Body · · Score: 1

    But we need to make sure that if the new hot chick wants to travel, they have a pass that suits multiple purposes.

    Like some sort of Multi-pass.

  10. By encrypting this message... on SSL Encryption Coming To The Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    You are denying the RIAA, the MPAA, and Metallica the right to see if you have infringing content, (I.E. lyrics, movie plots, bad reviews). This is in violation of the CANSPY Act of 2009, allowing anyone to see anything they want, if they pay Congress. Please proceed to the nearest prison.

  11. Re:Responsibility? on Proposed Legislation Would Outlaw "Cyberbullying" in US · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I got beat up in school, and I had to learn to fight back.

    Heck, I started high school by backhanding a bully in class. We became good friends after that.

    You can take your precious little snowflake to bubblewrap middle school where the books all have pages with thick dull edges so the kids won't get papercuts, and all the classes are in the same room so the kid doesn't have to strain himself by walking with books from class to class, then after school the kid can go play a sport where they don't actually allow "losers" or "winners" because that promotes feelings of HAVING DONE SOMETHING.

    As Carlin put it, we do this all for what, to save a few thousand lives?

  12. Re:It's about the plugins on Mozilla Firefox 3 Features Screencast · · Score: 1

    Web Developer does work.

  13. I'm looking for blurs... on JFK, LAX To Test Millimeter-Wave Scanners · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm sure the rat-things will disarm me promptly.

    Good thing I remember /. articles about sintered armorgel being produced, or I'd be really bad off.

  14. Re:Won't hold forever on RIAA's Boston University Subpoena Quashed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It simply isn't permissible in the US legal system to prevent a plaintiff with a legitimate claim from discovering the identity of the person they have that claim against


    Except that more and more of the claims are being shown to not be legit.

    Besides, there are circumstances where such anonymity is a critical point to service or business. Journalist sources, for example.
  15. Suprisingly worthless on Weave... Mozilla Is Trying To Be More Social · · Score: 1

    I used to run a batch file to back this stuff up and compress it, then sent it to another computer on the network.

  16. Re:Radio 1 report. on CDN Forces Reactor Online Against Safety Regulations · · Score: 1

    Actually, since it decays from an isotope with a 66 hour halflife, you'd only need a 4 month supply of that.

    Which works out to roughly 2.12390092 × 10^13 as much material. Still quite a bit, but if you take a chunk out of a remote corner of the universe, we can hack it.

  17. By posting on slashdot.... on All US Border Crossings Now Require A 'Terrorist Risk Profile' · · Score: 1

    As a commenter on slashdot, a site known to harbor people of a resistant mindset to american anti-terrorism tactics, your score is increased by a factor of 1.41421356.

  18. Re:He should have never stopped snorting coke on What NASA Won't Tell You About Air Safety · · Score: 1

    Damn you for quoting Caerlin before me.

    But it works better with the last bit, anyway.

    "look, they nearly missed... BUT NOT QUITE!"

  19. Re:Light cars = safer and more fuel efficient, rig on Super-Light Plastic As Strong as Steel · · Score: 1

    Because if less of the force is absorbed by the vehicle *crumpling* more of the force of a collision would be transferred to the occupants.

    Also, you'll buy less cars if your car takes less damage. That's bad for the automotive industry.

  20. Re:The Expansion they wish they made first on More Lich King Details, Apologies For Burning Crusade? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Patch 2.3 *the one coming to a PTR near you in about 24 hours* has:

    Level 20-60 Quest EXP has been increased, while EXP to Level has been decreased

    I agree with this comic, by the way, actual beers are far better than possible beers.

  22. I thought what I'd do was... on U.S. Airport Screeners Are Watching What You Read · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.

  23. Re:Scale. on Photonic Laser Thruster Promises Earth to Mars in a Week · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not really, NASA has perfected slamming things into Mars. We're quite good at it.

  24. Re:Are You Kidding? on NFL, MLB Accused of Bogus Copyright Claims · · Score: 2, Funny

    Some of the members of the CCIA can spare a dime or 2 to grease the same palms. Google, for instance. I heard somewhere that Google has like, $0.53 cents they can spend on lobbying. I may be off, though, yanno. It might be slightly more.

  25. Be smart, combine types. on Merely Cloaking Data May Be Incriminating? · · Score: 1

    Use truecrypt to make an encrypted volume. Put some porn images in there, and use stenography on those images.

    Then do the same with some regular images outside, but put non-crucial information in them. They will think that you were just trying to hide your naughty images.
