  1. Re:Dark matter and the sniff test on Deflating Claims That ESA Craft Has Spotted Dark Matter · · Score: 1

    I believe that's "mass quantities".

  2. Re:BGP? on BGP Hijacking Continues, Despite the Ability To Prevent It · · Score: 1

    Based on this thread, I doubt they're mute, given that people are expressing opinions on both sides...

    On the other hand, both sides might be moot....

  3. Re:How about criminal charges ... on Once Again, Baltimore Police Arrest a Person For Recording Them · · Score: 1

    If the police aren't going to bother either learning, or following the law ... they have no business being police officers.

    Indeed. As we are all aware, "Ignorance of the law is no excuse".

  4. Re:Pay with the pension fund! on Once Again, Baltimore Police Arrest a Person For Recording Them · · Score: 1

    I thought Truman's sign was "The Buck Stops Here".

  5. Re:Creedence Clearwater on Excuse Me While I Kiss This Guy: The Science of Misheard Song Lyrics · · Score: 1

    Bull. Google for "take me down to the very last city".

  6. Dead Laptop? on Are the TSA's New Electronic Device Screenings Necessary? · · Score: 1

    Great. Your laptop dies, and won't boot. Now what?

  7. What part of

    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

    does Congress not understand?

  8. Re:PRIVATE encryption of everything just became... on Congress Passes Bill Allowing Warrantless Forfeiture of Private Communications · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Yep. Google for Churchill Coventry dilemma

    Churchill let the Nazis bomb Coventry, rather than expose the fact that the Brits had broken the Nazi codes.

  9. Re:How can I exist without you on Excuse Me While I Kiss This Guy: The Science of Misheard Song Lyrics · · Score: 1

    That's because Manfred Mann messed up when he did his cover, and actually DID sing that.

  10. Re:Elton John on Excuse Me While I Kiss This Guy: The Science of Misheard Song Lyrics · · Score: 1

    My local radio station JUST played that song, with a disclaimer that it had nothing to do with Tony Danza!

  11. Re:But does it report artificially low ink levels? on Keurig 2.0 Genuine K-Cup Spoofing Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    Unless they show that ripoff k-cups somehow harm the system.

    So what if it harms the f***ing system? I BOUGHT it. It's MINE. If I want to harm the system, that's my choice.

    This is a "Fords will only use Ford Brand gas" thing. I wonder if they can be sued under Magnusson-Moss?

  12. Re:Creedence Clearwater on Excuse Me While I Kiss This Guy: The Science of Misheard Song Lyrics · · Score: 1

    How about Guns & Roses "Paradise City"?

    Take me down to the very last city...

  13. Re:No change in the discussion I'm sure on Utilities Face Billions In Losses From Distributed Renewables · · Score: 1

    I trust the Fool a hell of a lot more than I trust the WSJ.

  14. OK. I'm throroughly confused on Ubuntu Gets Container-Friendly "Snappy" Core · · Score: 2

    I'm just a casual user, not a sysadmin.

    But I thought containers were kind of like VMs, not like packages.

    What's the difference between a VM, a container, a chroot jail, and packages?

    Auto analogies are always welcome.

  15. ObXKCD on How Relevant is C in 2014? · · Score: 1

  16. Brought to you by... on French Publishers Prepare Lawsuit Against Adblock Plus · · Score: 2

    Dice. And Bennet Haselton.

  17. Re:The Netherlands. on Trains May Soon Come Equipped With Debris-Zapping Lasers · · Score: 1

    Sigh... nobody remembers Nigel Powers?

  18. Re:Is it really true? on How One Man Changed the Ecology of the Great Lakes With Salmon · · Score: 1

    The original pun was definitely crappie.

  19. Re:The Netherlands. on Trains May Soon Come Equipped With Debris-Zapping Lasers · · Score: 1

    The Netherlands? Now it all becomes clear.

    There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

  20. Re:Even if their wet? on Trains May Soon Come Equipped With Debris-Zapping Lasers · · Score: 1

    The real question is, of course, "Where did they find room to put the shark tank?"

  21. Re:The real conspiracy... on Why Apple, Google, and FB Have Their Own Programming Languages · · Score: 1

    I don't necessarily want to make permanent bookmarks... I'll stick a finger on a page, flip to another page, stick a second finger there, go to a third page... I just want ad hoc access.

    I also find *reading* an E-book harder than reading a dead tree. Also, if I want to consult multiple books at once, I can have them open on my desk at the same time. If I'm using an e-book reader, I can't do that.

  22. Re:Like the space shuttle-------- on NASA's Orion Capsule Reaches Orbit · · Score: 1

    To some point, this is correct. We should be using smaller/existing rockets up to LEO. Falcon9/Dragon, DeltaIV-H/Orion, Soyuz.

    Build something like the originally planned Ares V (or the SLS) to put the heavy crap (the actual spacecraft) in LEO as well. Then dock the crew module with the actual spacecraft. No need to carry *both* on the same booster.

    This also allows for craft that are *LARGER* than a single launch can carry (multiple launches, docked/assembled).

  23. Re:The real conspiracy... on Why Apple, Google, and FB Have Their Own Programming Languages · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't think it's really that. I think it's more the divide specified.

    Some of us do NOT like using ebooks for reference manuals. We like having dog-eared tomes with tons of bookmarks or post-it tabs. The ability to flip back and forth between multiple pages in an ad-hoc manner is also useful.

  24. Re:good on New Effort To Grant Legal Rights To Chimpanzees Fails · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't ask Clint Eastwood that question if I were you....

  25. Re:Free from captivity... for how long? on New Effort To Grant Legal Rights To Chimpanzees Fails · · Score: 1

    But then you could tell the ape, "Get your stinkin' paws off of me, you damned dirty ape!"
