  1. Well.. on Can Cell Phones Ignite Gasoline Vapors? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have a video on my email, girl gets out of car, starts pumping her gas, gets back in her car to what looks like put some lip stuff on. she gets back out and goes to touch the handle pumping gas into her car, and whooosh! fireball.

    she pulls the nozzle out of the car, and you can see fire comming from the gas tank, as well as the nozzle. she ends up dropping it and running away.

    all from a little static..

  2. so... on Make A Hole - And Sustain It Indefinitely · · Score: 4, Interesting

    scale the whole project up, and easy access to sunken boats?

    treasure is always a good incentive...

  3. It's not going to happen... on Doug Lowenstein on Game Censorship · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Look at all the pot smoking hippies and free love of the 70's. Now that these people are in power, pot is still illegal, and obsenity laws are becoming more and more stringent.

    It seems to me the 'newer generation' getting into power is being influenced by the current people at the top.

  4. pfft. on Reboot Linux Faster Using kexec · · Score: 4, Funny

    I get paid by the hour. So how would this help me? :)

    All our patches are up to date.
    We run a SUS server.
    All our definitions are up to date.
    Sadly.. it's the people in control of our VPN that are the incompetent ones.

  6. Re:Yeah..you're telling me... on Sasser Worm Disruption Growing · · Score: 1

    What I failed to mention, is these employees are police officers. At this time, they are all unable to connect to the VPN which allows them to view/enter reports, which in turn, does not allow them to their job, and in turn, puts the public at risk.

  7. Yeah..you're telling me... on Sasser Worm Disruption Growing · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Here at work, none of our employees can connect to the VPN, hence nobody can get work done, hence I'm sitting here with my phone ringing off the goddamn hook.

    Capital punishment for worm writers!

  8. Hmm... on Security Updates, Notices for Mac OS X · · Score: 5, Funny

    'allows a remote attacker to reliably overwrite heap memory with user-controlled data and execute arbitrary code.' damn that apple, even their exploits are reliable!? i'm really thinking about making the switch..

  9. Well... on Samsung's 17" LCD Gaming Monitor Rated · · Score: 4, Funny

    A 12ms response time is nice and everything, but how do I explain to my wife why I need one, in english.

  10. I know how they do it... on On Digital Distribution For Games - Does It Work? · · Score: 3, Funny

    $300/month to distribute their game...

    Here's how they do it.

  11. My take.. on New Science Museum - Now With Real Science! · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Unklike many museums which simplify their message
    I doubt they do this because they want to, think about it.. joe average would much rather see flashy presentations than boring old research papers. It's sad but true.. and museums have to do this in order to bring people in..

  12. yeah.. on China Shuts Down 8,600 Cybercafes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Only in China would a reduction of internet access to the public be called an "education campaign

    Yeah, and in america they call it 'securing your freedom'

    best reply ever.

    This only dawned on me the 3rd time I had to reinstall windows on someones machine within a week, so now I use a USB key for just such a reason..

  15. For me.. on First Ten Programs on New Install? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I _race_ furiously to download and get a firewall installed, then do the windows updates. I've had machines be comprimised while downloading the firewall for the first time, damn those subnet scanning kids move fast :)

  16. Video game art... on Videogames as Art · · Score: 4, Funny

    About the only art I get out of games is trying to write my name on walls with bullets....

  17. My only req... on How Do You 'Vet' an Employer? · · Score: 1

    Is that my boss doesnt read BOFH.

    I dont need him to get any more ideas on how to make my life miserable..

  18. uh.. on Bungie Co-Founder Tries New Approach, Licenses Halo Engine · · Score: 4, Insightful

    independent staffers

    So they are outsourcing?

  19. Well.. on Cameras for Dark and Wet Locations? · · Score: 1

    i picked up a canon a80 a couple days ago, and started to look for accessories, then came across this waterproof case. It's just a housing the camera sits in and lets you use all the regular buttons and dials you normally would..

    perhaps your camera has a similar accessory..

  20. My take... on Hardware Manufacturers Making PC Gaming Too Elite? · · Score: 1

    i was just playing battlefield vietnam, and when a map would load, everyone in first would get to the tanks/planes/helis/apc etc.

    this would end up and leaving nothing for the rest of the people who load the map slower because of older hardware.. thus feeding to the notion that (newer) games do cater to the elite..

  21. Re:bah censorship... on Ninja Gaiden Censored For European Release · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I love the mods here, as soon as this hit +5, it gets bitch slapped with overrated mods.

    Goddamn kids need something better to do

  22. Ok... on World's First 1GB Web Mail May Not Be From Google · · Score: 3, Insightful

    These services offering large attachment sizes, how useful can they really be when the majority of users cant recieve the files due to limits set on their mail server?

    Sending huge attachments is nice and everything, but it's only going to work if your friend has a gmail/spymac acount (or thier own mail server) too..

    Close, different country though :)

    And once it's been melted into slag, more often than not, that's the end of it's life. No 6' of cement on top, which is just too tinfoil hat for me.

  25. Sweet!! on HDD Assault Cannon · · Score: 4, Funny

    We have boxes of old drives that we need to get rid of here at work, but have to drill holes into them then have them melted down or buried in a landfill. This would be way more fun..
