  1. give it it's own medicine on New System to Counter Photo and Video Devices · · Score: 0

    What if you blind the detector camera with an IR flashlight beam while you take your shot? If they can blind my camera why shouldn't I blind theirs?

  2. gentler? on Five Years of Ballmer -- the Effect on Microsoft · · Score: -1

    "Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!..." If by gentle they mean fat and sweaty, then yes.

  3. only need one exploit on DJB Announces 44 Security Holes In *nix Software · · Score: 1, Funny

    No need to find 10, just find one and then hack into the prof's grading machine. there.

  4. realy? on Firefox Users Bad For Advertisers · · Score: 0

    On other news, it was found that IE users are 6 times more likely to push on doors that clearly say "pull" on them and also more likely to microwave their cats.

  5. Re:For all non-photo geeks out there on Largest Digital Photograph in the World · · Score: 0

    Well his point was that if you don't have a good lens, then it doesn't matter how many MPs your camera has because the lens can not produce the detail your CCD can capture. Just having a good lens, or just having a high MP camera doesn't mean you get the best results. The parent's complaint was these days everyone talks about MPs and nobody cares about the optics.

  6. there is a simpler way on Hibernating to Mars · · Score: 0

    just show them how to play everquest. Though it might be difficult later to actualy get them to leave their computers and walk on mars.

  7. interesting but on Camera that Sees through Smoke and Fog Underway · · Score: 0, Insightful

    So they are using the principle of parallax. It's like how we can hold our finger infront of our face and still get a complete picture; the parts that are blocked on one eye are completed by the other. Though with fog, it would seem to me that since there are so many particles for the light to go through, even if you had 3 cameras looking from different places, they would still get a foggy picture. It would be like trying to look through a forest.

  8. toys will be awesome on Animal Robots · · Score: 1, Interesting

    When I think about it, my kids will most probably be playing with animated robotic Barbies, GIJoes, and T-Rex's. Man am I jealous..

  9. I hope on A Running Shoe For Agent 86? · · Score: 1, Funny

    microsoft has nothing to do with the OS in these shoes, or soon we'll see people running of bridges because their shoe (crashed, got hacked into) bah

  10. crack smash on Wooden Computer Accessories · · Score: 1

    breaking your computer would give you so much more satisfaction.

  11. sims online on Online Gaming for Couples? · · Score: 1

    well, if you don't mind her making out with men/women, or you don't she would be working in a brothel, then I think SimsOnline might work. get married and make babies?

  12. Re:re-downloading from iTunes on Comparing Online Music Offerings · · Score: 1

    so I think restricting downloading to one time is a bad decision made by apple. If I have to keep my music in CDs anyway, why not just buy the actual CDs and keep mp3s on my computer to listen to?

  13. re-downloading from iTunes on Comparing Online Music Offerings · · Score: 1

    Here's an email I sent to iTunes yesterday and then the reply from iTunes:
    >
    I think I lost the files that I downloaded on my last purchase. I
    thought that I could download them again, but after reading the FAQ it seem like
    that doesn't seem to be the case. I was wondering why iTunes chose not to allow
    people to download multiple times. If bandwidth is your concern, then you could
    limit downloads to once a month, or come up with a similar solution. I don't
    plan to buy any more songs from iTunes if this policy stays the same.
    thanks for your concern, have a nice day.
    (please forward this email to the appropriate person if it's not your topic,
    thanks)
