  5. Re:SD Freeway isn't the problem on Elon Musk Hates 405 Freeway Traffic, Pays Money To Speed Construction · · Score: 5, Informative

    There's a reason nobody uses mass transit in LA. All mass transit in LA is based on a faulty assumption -- that everyone wants to go downtown.

    There's no real north/south transit: To get from the Valley to the Westside, you have to go downtown and then back to the Westside.

    Windows 7 Professional has "Windows XP Mode", which is an XP VM for running stuff that's not compatible with Win7.

  9. Re:No surprise, really. on Futurama Cancelled (Again) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The problem with the movies was that they all had a "MESSAGE" that was driven home with a sledgehammer (possible exception: Bender's Game).

    MESSAGE episodes are usually turn-offs. "Tonight, on a Very Special Futurama...."

  10. Re:Reminds me of this book on Baseball Software Can't Score What Jean Segura Did Friday · · Score: 4, Interesting

    When they resumed the infamous "Pine Tar" game, several months later, Billy Martin appealed at each base, claiming that George Brett didn't touch all the bases.

    However, the umpires were ready, and had affadavits from the original umpiring crew stating that he had.

  11. You're joking, but... on Ricin Tainted Letter Sent to Senator and Possibly the President · · Score: 2

    I've seen FB posts saying essentially, "We MUST do something to make sure this can never happen again".

    Apparently, these people want a police state, since that's the only scenario where there's even a reasonable probability of that.

    Shit, I bet even rot13 is considered an encryption technology.

  17. Re:Wouldn't this violate TOS? on WA State Bill Would Allow Bosses To Seek Facebook Passwords · · Score: 2

    Sure, boss, I'd love to give you my password. However, since it's a violation of the TOS, if you access my account, we both would potentially be committing a felony under the CFAA.

    Therefore, even though I'd love to give it to you, I'm afraid I can't. For our protection AND the company's protection.

  18. Re:Sigh on Systemd Ditches GNU C Library for Their Own · · Score: 1

  24. Re:Maybe... on USPS Discriminates Against 'Atheist' Merchandise · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Methodology is everything.

  25. Re:Maybe... on USPS Discriminates Against 'Atheist' Merchandise · · Score: 1

    Pardon me. That wasn't clear.

    Yes, you would expect some packages to be delayed because of separation during shipping, and other events. You would then expect the delayed packages to be split roughly 50-50 between labelled and unlabelled packages. My understanding is that this did not happen.
