  1. Re:jailbreak? on George "geohot" Hotz Arrested In Texas For Posession of Marijuana · · Score: 1

    Well - jailbreaking is legal now, right?

  2. Funny! on Campaign Urges People To Send MPAA and RIAA Copied Currency · · Score: 1

    Funny, but I expect they won't even get it!

  3. Re:How do you measure how accurate it is? on Single-Ion Clock 100 Times More Accurate Than Atomic Clock · · Score: 1

    Well since the second is defined based upon atomic oscillation now,
    secÂond 1 (sknd)
    n.
    1. Abbr. sec.
    a. A unit of time equal to one sixtieth of a minute.
    b. The time needed for a cesium-133 atom to perform 9,192,631,770 complete oscillations. See Table at measurement.
    I can only see this as less accurate!

  4. Re:Sad day on Server Names For a New Generation · · Score: 1

    Should have renamed it to Urectum. It would have ended those jokes right away.

  5. Bender on Voting System Test Hack Elects Futurama's Bender To School Board · · Score: 1, Informative

    Bite my shiny metal ass!

  6. Sea Floor on Where Next-Generation Rare Earth Metals May Come From · · Score: 3, Interesting

    On the ocean floor, are large deposits of the stuff Wall Street Journal
    A company called Nautilus Minerals Inc. is planning to begin operations.

  7. Re:Wait, what? on Have Bad Cars Gone Extinct? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure they are counting every little thing, but still!
    I seem to recall a similar stat a few years back where Honda and Toyota had ~22 problems per 100 cars to top the list, and the worst by far was Cadilac with something in the high 80s. They were probably tracking differsnt types of problems with that list.

  8. Re:Statute of limitations on SCO vs. IBM Trial Back On Again · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Maybe that's what they're after.

  9. Re:Computer Driver Zones. on Nevada Approves Rules For Self-Driving Cars · · Score: 1

    I don't know how to use the three shells!

  10. Re:Computer Driver Zones. on Nevada Approves Rules For Self-Driving Cars · · Score: 2

    Yeah, I saw a documentary about that. However, there was a terrible side effect, in that all resturants became Taco Bells!

  11. Re:This system is likely to have bugs... on Indian Government To Track Locations of All Cell Phone Users · · Score: 1

    ... and implanted in the body.

  12. Re:Current utilizing it in a case.. on Indian Government To Track Locations of All Cell Phone Users · · Score: 1

    Of course they could have just left their phone at home, or with a friend. How can that be proof?

  13. 2 week turnover on Buy an Elite HP PC, Get Your Own Support Staffer · · Score: 1

    I don't see how they can do that. Callcentre turnover rates are probably on the order of two weeks.

  14. Re:Sony is a Profit-Oriented Corporation on Sony Raises Price of Whitney Houston's Music 30 Minutes After Death · · Score: 1

    People don't buy music CD just because it was produced by so-and-so corporation, but they buy because they like the songs

    Agreed! Same with movies/TV shows , so I really don't understand the need to self advertise on DVDs. For instance, if you buy a TV show, why do I have to see the company logo as soon as I enter the DVD, and again before each episode? It's this type of thing that makes me rip it to hard drive, or download it (because it's quicker).

  15. Re:Sony is a Profit-Oriented Corporation on Sony Raises Price of Whitney Houston's Music 30 Minutes After Death · · Score: 1

    Even without copyright benefits, her children.grandchildren will get a free ride for life anyway - her will.

  16. Re:Here's another solution on Laser Scanner May Allow Passengers To Take Bottled Drinks On Planes Again · · Score: 1

    Yeah! Probably more comfortable that way as well.

  17. Re:Golden Delicious?! on Golden Delicious Now Shipping Hackable Openmoko GTA04 · · Score: 1

    Yes

  18. Re:Code? on Do You Like Online Privacy? You May Be a Terrorist · · Score: 1

    "Suspicious or coded writings, use of code word sheets, cryptic ledgers, etc" To the average citizen, most programming languages would fit this.

    Even ASCII is a code. So we're all in that box.

  19. Re:Can't update on my work computer on Firefox 10 Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    Or if you want to keep going for a couple od weeks, change it to 100.0.*

  20. Re:Political application on Computer Program Reconstructs Heard Words From Brain Scans · · Score: 1

    No. This only works on people.

  21. Re:Call me picky but... on EU ACTA Chief Resigns · · Score: 1

    "News sites" hosted on port 82 set off some alarm bells.

    It's Europe so they're using metric!

  22. Re:And how does this surprise us? on Object Lesson in Non-Transparency At Energy.gov · · Score: 1

    It's so transparent, that you can't see it. Simple really!

  23. Re:Because Canada has a "little brother" problem on Outgoing CRTC Head Says Technology Is Eroding Canadian Culture · · Score: 1

    > As far as they're concerned, the moment a Canadian artist gets a #1 hit in the US, they cease to be "authentically Canadian" by virtue of having "sold out". Now they're in a position of power & authority, and aren't shy about using it to make everyone else listen to "better" (in their opinion) music.

    One example of this is Bryan Adams - his single "Everything I Do" from Robin Hood was co-wrote by a non-Canadian, and thus is not considered "Canadian content" by the CRTC.

  24. Re:I Wonder... on German Hackers Propose Uncensorable Global Grid — With Satellites · · Score: 1

    Yes, but you can't hear it scream!

  25. Re:Video?! on The Problem With Windows 8's Picture Password · · Score: 1

    but the average person will probably stick with the faces.

    Or the boobs!
