  1. Subject him to some experiments... on Driver Using Two Cell Phones Gets Year-Long Driving Ban · · Score: 1

    Certainly sounds like he's much more coordinated than me!!

  2. Despite the obvious on Project Icarus: the Gas Mines of Uranus · · Score: 3, Interesting

    this is actually an interesting article. Certainly more thought-provoking than the latest smart-phone malware.

  3. tech transfer to other image types? on Upscaling Retro 8-Bit Pixel Art To Vector Graphics · · Score: 0

    Pr0n industry would be able to save a fortune in bandwidth!

  4. Australian Intelligence on Australian Government To Widen Spy Agency Powers, Again · · Score: 1

    - contradiction in terms

  5. Re:Wrong place on An IP Address For Every Light Bulb · · Score: 1

    But if the bulbs are wireless...

  6. Build it on IEEE Seeks Data On Ethernet Bandwidth Needs · · Score: 2

    & they will come

  7. Re:Why does everything have to be monetized? on Markets For IPv4 Addresses Emerging · · Score: 1

    Not for much longer, the way Itanic is going...

  8. Re:Yawn, it's taken them long enough... on Wal-Mart Tests Online Grocery Delivery · · Score: 1

    Think it's been around 12 years - before Y2K anyway

  9. Is Larry's foot sore yet? on Oracle Claims Intel Is Looking To Sink the Itanic · · Score: 1

    Itanic now only used for HP/UX. Those big customers are forced to move to a different platform. Why would they continue to choose Oracle - the company that forced them to move?

  10. Rural NZ... on Help Map Global Light Pollution, By Starlight · · Score: 1

    So dark sometimes, you can't see the wall you just walked into!
    Need more LED's on my PC's...

  11. Levels of Bad... on Linus Says Android License Claim Is 'Bogus' · · Score: 1

    Just re-adjust their position on the scale - still above M$ & Apple & below OSF, Mozilla

  12. Phoenix? on Researchers Create Computer That Fits On a Pen Tip · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Every Phoenix project crashes & burns - should've called it "mote"!!

  13. Trusted Platform Module on Microsoft's New Plan For Keeping the Internet Safe · · Score: 2, Informative

    ZDNet article (http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/microsoft-continues-push-for-infected-computers-to-be-quarantined/8164) a little more informative.

    Combining trusted software such as hypervisors and hardware elements such as a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) could further enable consumer devices to create robust health certificates and ensure the integrity of user information

  14. Re:Soon I will be proven right... on Review of Dell Inspiron Tablet/Laptop Hybrid · · Score: 0

    cell with fast CPU, *nix-based OS, wireless keyboard & screen. Sit at my desk & start typing. Away from desk - have to pull phone out of pocket. Get home to large screen & k/b - seemlessly back on /.

  15. Re:Remember the simpsons on Google Preparing To Launch G-Town · · Score: 0

    My favourite episode!!

  16. Re:Answers on Fermilab Confirms Evidence of 4th Flavor Neutrino · · Score: 0

    3 lefts make a right?

  17. Finally looking practical... on Electric Car Goes 375 Miles On One 6-Minute Charge · · Score: 0

    will it be affordable?

  18. Latency... on Quantum Computing Explained! (Well, Sorta) · · Score: 0

    Quantum computing - very cool, but I'm more interested in the possibility of transmitting data instantly. Running synchronous replication half-way around the globe without latency problems. Nobody seems to talk much about it, but entanglement would make this possible?

  19. question... on Fermilab To Test Holographic Universe Theory · · Score: 0

    How many dimensions could be encoded on the surface of 3 dimensions?

  20. The Surgeon of Crowthorne... on Oxford Dictionary Considers Going Online Only · · Score: 0

    A great read - intro to OED & interesting similarities to wikipedia

  21. Bit random? on Fly Eyes Used For Solar Cells · · Score: 0

    I expected something a little more symmetrical - better use of space

  22. Turn the numbers upside down... on Android Users Aren't As Disloyal As Reported · · Score: 1, Funny

    12% of iPhone owners have been put off smartphones altogether, another 11% want a smartphone but not from Apple. 2% would consider a Windows phone!!
    (The Android numbers are so messed up they aren't even worth taking notice of).

  23. Promote z/OS? on Open Source Complaint Against IBM Gets Support · · Score: 0

    I'd like to see IBM support z/OS under Hercules. It would certainly be handy to be able to run up a test platform without enormous expense, and would certainly introduce a lot of new people to how things are done on 'big iron'. They own the product - they can licence it how they like. But I'd love to be able to play sysprog with a modern OS. Good for me, good for IBM?

  24. Eat your own dog-food... on Microsoft Employees Love Their iPhones · · Score: 0

    If you aim to make the best, you should be using your own product?

  25. Re:AWESOME CONTEST!!! on $1M Prize For Finding Cause of Unintended Acceleration · · Score: 0

    My initial thoughts were along this line, but started to wonder about storage violations - unusual conditions overwriting the throttle position sensors. (awfully difficult to replicate)
