  1. Which key? on UK Court Rejects Encryption Key Disclosure Defense · · Score: 1

    One password generates one set of files. The other password produces an entirely different set.

    Okay, you can have one of them, but I'm not telling the other...

  2. Re:Crap on People Prefer Angry-Faced Cars · · Score: 1

    Yet I haven't found a woman who doesn't love it...

    Women love the car. They generally don't want their mate to drive one.

  3. Re:A to B on People Prefer Angry-Faced Cars · · Score: 2, Funny

    Girls must really admire your efficiency.

    Cheap bastards get tons of chicks, right? (All of them HOT...)

  4. Re:Why on earth,,, on Baldness Gene Discovered — 1 In 7 Men "At Risk" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Actually baldness is important. Yes most people see it from the shallow POV....

    How can it be shallow if (as most people would agree) a woman going bald is much more traumatic? Nobody tells her to "just get over it".

    Either sexism is OK, or the things that people call "shallow" really aren't. You can't have it both ways.

  5. Re:A waste on 6.7 Meter Telescope To Capture 30 Terabytes Per Night · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    More Anonymous Cowards should be running the world... That's what NASA needs- less accountability.

  6. Re:And what do we do with the CO2? on Removing CO2 From the Air Efficiently · · Score: 1

    How are we going to store and dispose of rocks in the earth? They take up space, displace wildlife, and are too heavy to move.

    The price of storing and disposal of billions of tons of rock is going to be trillions... a cost that will surely be passed on to our children.

  7. Re:If they want to remove CO2... on Removing CO2 From the Air Efficiently · · Score: 2, Funny

    Go to Neptune, sample the core, and return it to the earth.
     
    I typed it out easily enough, so it must be that simple!

  8. Re:More Cassandra warnings... on Another Way the LHC Could Self-Destruct · · Score: 1

    motorcycle drivers I see riding on their bikes at 80mph without helmets are just holding their breath?

    Breathing through their nose mostly, or just forcing their lungs harder. It is not a relaxed activity.

  9. Re:More Cassandra warnings... on Another Way the LHC Could Self-Destruct · · Score: 1

    Companies run by Yes-men and public relations are assumed to be greedy, reckless hazards to public health. Because they are.

    Does LHC ever say "no" to anything? Would they, even if they knew there were risks?

  10. Re:revenge on the nerds on Review of Discovery Institute's Evolution Textbook · · Score: 1
    • It is not fashionable to work hard in EUROPE. Only in the US and Japan do people work crazy overtime.
    • Look at the internet. All you have to do is be angry and medicated.

    Looking pretty and being force wielding leaders are very good options compared to what geeks are offering. Maybe more geeks would have girlfriends if they understood that looking pretty is not unimportant or shameful. They certainly wouldn't have the persecution complexes that lead them to dark thoughts and school shootings, if only they desired to be leaders at something other than Warcraft.

  11. Re:Science is just a way to try to avoid it, reall on Studies Say Ideology Trumps Facts · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What's the message -- just accept it?

    Or would we rather establish a Ministry of Truth rather than allow people to believe in wild religions, pink elephants, or political controversy presented as fact?

    We need the freedom to be "wrong". That's what it means to be an adult.

  12. Re:Gravity Leech on "Dark Flow" Outside Observable Universe · · Score: 1

    I always assumed that space stretches out into nothing, like an elastic getting very thin. Maybe it actually compresses into a big solid wall that contains the universe. "Anti-space" or something.

  13. Drones on The Mobile Internet You'll Be Using In 10 Years · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Assuming the tech filters down, something like Google Maps could be done in real time. Companies will launch surveillance planes, blimps, or piggyback on cellular towers so that anyone can zero-in on your house.

    For a price, obviously, because my privacy is worth trading for their profits.

  14. Re:From one consumer's perspective... on Bad Signs For Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    I am a giant obstacle to sales: my values have changed. After years of being entertained to death, I finally got bored with it all.

    Even really great movies or music, I only need a little bit to relax. Also, now that I've stopped buying crap, I have more money for rainy days. I have less clutter around too.

    Maybe if I had kids I would buy it for them (for what, cartoons?!) but right now I honestly wouldn't take Bluray if you paid me.

  15. Re:Why can't a government employee use Yahoo? on Palin Email Hacker Found · · Score: 1

    Actually she was using her yahoo email accounts to conduct state business.

    No, that evidence against her was illegally obtained. Geeks love that excuse when they commit crimes.

    Besides, the most likely thing is that her opponents created the account in her name. It's possible, so it's likely. Get your nerd reality in line.

  16. WWWLD? on Nielsen Sends Wikipedia DMCA Takedown For Station Descriptions · · Score: 1

    What would Wikileaks do?

    This is why companies want to move to other countries, or in some cases the ocean.

  17. He got adickted on Verizon Tech Accused Of Making $220K In Sex Calls On User Lines · · Score: 1

    Now sue for ADA discrimination.... Because in a way, the company is responsible for his troubles, right?

  18. Marketing on KFC Beefs Up Secret Recipe Security · · Score: 1

    FDA? People have a right to know what they are eating.

    Like the supposedly secret Coca-cola formula, it's not as though they can manufacture millions of tons of a product and not have it public.

    Nor can you patent something and also keep it a secret, much to the frustration of some executives.

  19. Re:Now if only the book police... on Google To Digitize Millions of Old Newspaper Pages · · Score: 1

    Speaking of police, now your 1979 DUI/assault/posession/check fraud arrest will be known by everyone who knows you.

    I personally don't like the world that Google is creating, and I don't think they should have a right to transform society so much without public oversight.

  20. Re:Palin Hates Science on Sarah Palin's Stance On Technology Issues · · Score: 1

    Though if being mayor of the meth capital of Alaska counts as "chemistry policy", Palin is ahead of the curve.

    Luckily for BHO, Chicago is a drug-free zone.

  21. Re:This article is utter nonsense. on Sarah Palin's Stance On Technology Issues · · Score: 1

    so her positions on issues will differ little from those of a Barbie doll.

    You might even say that she is a "typical white woman".

    But that would be racist.

  22. Re:As to crackpot theories... on NIST Releases Report On WTC 7 Collapse · · Score: 1

    Also, why would they want to bring this additional building down? Because the towers' collapse wasn't dramatic enough?

  23. Re:oh ok on NIST Releases Report On WTC 7 Collapse · · Score: 1

    People whose experience with construction is limited to building models tend to imagine buildings are much lighter relative to the strength of materials in them then they are.

    Like raising a long pipe, or maybe a flag pole... We could call it a "scale model" for building a tower. Safely keeping construction proportional to the model would be impossible beyond a small increase in scale.

  24. Re:Performance is great and all on Firefox Gets Massive JavaScript Performance Boost · · Score: 1

    Browser identification and JS version identification. Why should I have to jump through hoops, poke & prod things, and guess at what my JS run-time is?

    Don't do that. Use object and property detection instead: http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/objectdetection.html

  25. Re:Bye-bye pseudonyms on Visual Search Engine Tracks Stolen Images · · Score: 1

    Anyone who tries to hide behind a pseudonym but posts photos of themselves is now outed by this thing. The first such tools were used by forensic researchers to catch criminals.

    Someday, Anonymous Cowards may be easily identified by the style and content of their posts. Many trolls who think they are safe now will be outed using methods similar to this picture searching.
