At a time where authorities try to impose ridiculous devices like the body scanner and that waiting lines become so long that trains become a viable option to national flights, it is good to point out that they have so many flaws left.
I used up all my mod points, so I'll just chip in and say that while Loki's comment gave well written reasons for his opinions, you just come across as an asshole who has a fetish for first graders.
I'm sorry, how do you rectify this, "Gross gaming revenue — down 18 percent" with your statement that revenues are up?
You need to be more precise. The statement was "revenues are still well above average". If the average revenue is $1X and last year it was $2X, if you're down 18%, $1.72X is still above the average of $1X.
Mind you, I don't know if that's true but you need to check your math skills if you think that a decrease in one year's revenue cannot still be above the annual average over a period of years.
It's not like the stuff under your clothes is a mystery to anyone. Get over it. Do you also think it's indecent when a doctor asks to see your naked body?
Your bodily functions are also not a mystery. Everyone has an asshole. Everyone shits. So toilets in the airport should be made from glass and placed out in public with only a glass wall surrounding them so as not to bother people by the sounds and smells.
It will keep us safer because people will be able to watch others and ensure they're not hiding anything in any orifices. Think of it like open source: many eyes provides security.
Or are you some religious freak who considers bodily functions indecent?
BTW and OT, your sig is incorrect. +5 funny gains no karma (but you'll at least get a "the comedian" in your achievements page), and some moderators have no sense of humor and will mod you troll, flamebait, or if they don't get the joke, offtopic.
Want good karma? Post interestingly, informatively, or insightfully. And be polite; an insightful but brash comment will almost always get you modded down.
Your reading comprehension is incorrect.:) I know how to spell humorously.
"But back to those privacy concerns. Some lawyers believe having a young traveller pass through the full-body scanners could violate child pornography laws. As a result, Canada is exempting passengers under-18 from the new measures."
Personally, if I were asked to go through one I would opt for the pat-down instead. Want to get your rocks off feeling my rocks? Go for it, but I won't have my naked image stored in a computer that politicians claim is hack proof and will get deleted right after.
But you're right in the sentance "Chinese porgrammers cheerfully whatever they get their hands on". In fact, they're the huge supporter of opensource programming. (I'm recruiting opensource programmers there and I've never found short of them.:)
I think it's pretty naive to think it went anything like that. And probably ridiculous to believe they'd sell anywhere near that, so my guess is this story is complete BS.
Next thing you're going to tell me there is no reality distortion field!
I'm thinking Jobs asked "How much per unit if we're making 10 million of them?" Then after the manufacturer crunches the numbers and comes back with the figures, Jobs will offer to pay that per-unit cost but in increments of 10,000 units.
It's nice to know an Architect and Engineer can design a building and still not know how much above sea level it is.
Which entrance is considered the "main" entrance has changed several times. As the landscaping around the building is not level, switching the main entrance from one side of the building to another, lower side of the building can add many meters to the "official" height.
Additionally, I ran into a situation where I spoke on the phone with a female friend I hadn't talked to in years. She's not on Facebook, but her friends are. A few days later, I had one of her friends show up as a suggested friend. What I suspect happened is that she asked her friend to look me up on Facebook and as a result of the search (and likely click-through) it suggested I add her as a friend.
Both of you are making valid points about completely different aspects of the topic at hand. It's valid that the TSA would be interested in who violated their duty to not disclose the information. It's also valid that the information never ought to have been secret in the first place.
Enough of the "you're missing the point" pissing match already.
We return to our reporter at the scene where emergency crews are cleaning up the mess left by someone who took an add for a food or drink product literally.
What about those who took a subtract literally?
Perhaps the rules should change to require literal truth. "Our bear makes other people more beautiful to you"
How is it news that a flawed implementation of a perfectly secure algorithm can be taken advantage of? Cryptographers have been doing side channel attacks for a long time.

That reminds me... one thing to add to this article: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZfbTlYpKYo
Or you wrote it and you're STILL the only person that thought it funny.
Well, you might have a point if the post I replied to were an AC post. Hey, you're posting as AC... maybe I'm replying to myself!
Have a sense of humor, mods. That's a decent pun playing off the Apple trolls.

... things like "hotbabe74@aol.com" and "stonerick@hotmail.com". How could these people not think that something like that makes an impression?
I guess Mr. Rick Stone had a difficult time attaining employment.
Ah, but many companies are fleeing the LVCC and moving to suites. Revenue is being taken away from the CEA.
I didn't go to Las Vegas at all this year. I suppose that means I took revenue away from the CEA too?

I hate to break it to you, but "gating" can also be a noun. Now pick up a copy of the Dragon book and have fun!
Better idea: tax creators of artistic works and use it to pay online advertisers who lose money due to fraudulent clicks.
Oh, and the word is paid. </obgrammarnazi>

If they start having Blu-ray players for the HD TVs on the market with a hard drive, you could Download movies over the psn.
Be nice if you could do that on the PS3 for countries other than the US.

Yes, I can write one UI that scales from 128x128 to 1920*1080 without compromises. And so should you.
Please show me Photoshop running at 128x128 with no compromises.
So what effects does Ginkgo Dildoa have?
