  1. Look up on Two Groups File Domestic Spying Lawsuits · · Score: 1
  2. And again on Two Groups File Domestic Spying Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    You may find this information interesting. http://thinkprogress.org/2005/12/20/drudge-fact-ch eck/

  3. I'd like to point out this helpful link on Two Groups File Domestic Spying Lawsuits · · Score: 1
  4. Re:What classes are there? on Iron Heroes: A low magic tabletop game · · Score: 1

    Off the top of my head:

    Archer, Berserker, Harrier(a rapid moving scouting class), Armiger(heavily armored tanks that learn to take shots and turn them to their advantage), Thief, Executioner, Man at Arms(the every soldier, can retrain some of their feats each day to optimize them for the situation at hand), Weaponmaster(very very good with one type of weapon), Hunter(exploits terrain to his advantage). There's also a very poorly built arcanist class.

  5. I too came to the show fresh on New Battlestar Galactica - Worth a Series? · · Score: 5, Funny

    And I'm confused. The humans are supposed to be descendants of the Lords of COBOL correct? Does that mean they are dinosaurs?

  6. Yeah but then... on Nanotechnology: Are Molecular Assemblers Possible? · · Score: 1

    you just whip out your sharpie and disable their not-so-clever protection schemes.

  7. Re:maybe we need a better game for this on Human Pac Man · · Score: 1

    It seems like a fit for first person bullet time too. Fun stuff, can't wait.

  8. Re:Diebold spins it. on Diebold ATMs hit by Nachi Worm · · Score: 3, Informative

    I believe they generally are connected via STUN to a front end processor, newer models are using data link switching without the FEP so they are likely to have greater vulnerability to bug in a box schemes.

  9. I've been working on a system on How Do You Organize Your Gear? · · Score: 1

    Using peg boards with the y hooks. I bought a bunch of the plastic bags with the white labeling space. Drop your cards and such into the bags, label and then hole punch and hang on the peg board. It doesn't take account for the larger pieces but its a space efficient and clean looking way of getting components out of the way.

  10. Re:In before.. on More Than 500,000 High Tech Jobs Lost in 2002 · · Score: 1

    Don't blame closed system dynamics on politics.

  11. Dear God man! on Is Space Mining Feasible? · · Score: 1

    Seems the information was good. It simply wasn't a link

  12. Nasa flight control entrance exam on NASA Engineers Question ISS Safety · · Score: 1

    landlocked ( P ) Pronunciation Key (lndlkt) adj. 1. Entirely or almost entirely surrounded by land: a landlocked country.

    Emphasis mine

  14. Like Stephen Baxter wrote on Chinese Astronaut Makes It Back Safely · · Score: 1

    in Manifold: Space. The spirit of our people is asleep. I just hope this is enough of a wakeup call. If it isn't, in 25 years we may be just as planet-locked as Iraq is land-locked, and with the Chinese playing gate keeper to boot.

  15. I guess you've never been to south beach on US Senate Backs Genetic Privacy · · Score: 1

  16. Even in the company on US Senate Backs Genetic Privacy · · Score: 1

    some individuals were better accoutered than others, the genetic makeup supposedly belonging to the protagonist put him on the fast track in the company.

  17. System prep benefits from economies of scale on Internet Speed Record Broken (Again) · · Score: 1

    loading a vw each time is likely to remain fairly consistent.

  18. So true! on Book Review: Hacking TiVo · · Score: 1

    I listen to a lot of talk radio in the car and often come in in the middle of an interesting conversation and find my right hand reaching to hit the replay button.

  19. The sad fucking thing is.. on Dell $38m Supercomputer [not] More Costly than VT's G5s · · Score: 1

    that were always treated to a moving target with mac zealots. If the hardware is slower than x86, we get drowned in claims that the actual productivity is in the software, that is until some positive benchmark comes out touting fast mac hardware. Then hardware speed is the be all end all. Same thing happens with cost, availability software, ergonomics. Surely, I'm treating mac fans as a monolithic culture which is always misleading but cmon, give us a break. The precious mac platform would probably go a whole lot further with less slavering from the loyal adherents.

  20. and how idiots can be perfectly proficient on PHBs Getting "Secret" IT Training · · Score: 1

    It's a valuble thing to note. Computers are not as intuitive as we'd like to believe.

    offers for Brittney Spears CDs courtesy of the RIAA.

  22. True on Virus Knocks Out U.S. Visa Approval System · · Score: 1

    Professionals are users too. :)

  23. Even if a perfectly secure OS existed on Virus Knocks Out U.S. Visa Approval System · · Score: 2, Interesting

    security professionals would still exist to protect users from their own stupidity.

  24. This is all very enlightening on P2P Music Sharing Remains Popular Despite RIAA · · Score: 1

    but I'm curious. Was there a point to the diatribe or is it purely a soapbox to stand upon?

  25. you would think on Ward Hunt Ice Shelf Breaks In Two · · Score: 1

    that the smaller the percentages of CO2 in the atmosphere the more easily we could disrupt that level in significant ways. If CO2 were say 50% of atmospheric gas, human endeavors would be hard pressed to change that level significantly. Small values can have their constitution altered that much more easily.
