  1. Re:Why should I care? on Math Indicates Pollster Is Forging Results · · Score: 1

    If the fake polls do not benefit a company are they astroturfing? If it benefits the current regime is it astroturfing?

  2. Re:BIOS on New Phoenix BIOS Starts Windows 7 Boot In 1 Second · · Score: 1

    Is it *really* at the desktop and ready to work or is it like it's been for a while. It shows the desktop but you can't do shit for another few minutes?

    Actually you could just use the German green party and all their symbols. It's so appropriate.

  5. Re:Aren't ALL photos modified these days? on French Deputies Want Labels On Photo-Altered Models · · Score: 1

    I'd say any alteration that changes the person's appearance would apply. I see no problem with such labeling. It's not interfering in speech it merely tells you're being lied to.

    This would not go over well with journalists or the MSM as they take many liberties with manipulating news photos. I'm sure the AFP would be up in arms if they knew what arms were.

    You can overlay them so that at rest you hear one sound but when moving the overlayed lower pitched sound is more evident. This can be done for several variations but I think you'd be limited to at most three overlapped sounds. I mixed the above with artsbuilder though you'll have to do the math on the frequency shift.

    For variations have a keypad marked with different variations and one marked "car skidding sideways at high speed mixed with shriek" which controls an arduino that controls an MP3 device. It can run lighting displays as well.

    I picked rupee because it was supposed to be pegged to the Bhutanese ngultrum. When I realized it was not equal /. refused to let me make a post correcting it.

    http://coinmill.com/BTN_calculator.html This is a cool converter and it's showing the rupee is closer to the Bhutanese ngultrum now.

  12. The Sony I knew is dead. on The PS3's "Yellow Light of Death" · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I worked at an independent repair center that had the highest status you could get from Sony. We could extend any warranty for any reason and fax it to the president of Sony and they would approve it within 24 hours. This was before the console craze when Sony made excellent quality products. It's been a while but I think they were called 'prime' servicers and there were not many of them.

    That business is long gone due to the son of the owner embezzling enough money to collapse the business.

    I've checked and I don't see any mention of a prime servicer in this area anymore.

    I morn the lost of the "One and only" because it's made in a third world country now like everyone else.

  13. Re:toposhaba on Congress Mulls Research Into a Vehicle Mileage Tax · · Score: 2, Informative

    So if we improve MPG they get less taxes. To compensate they'll charge us by the mile. Which will negate the reason to seek higher MPG. Gotta love them...to death.

    That's syfylus. It's the new borg equivalent you get it by masturbating to a certain network's programming.

  19. Re:Perfectly Legal on Dad Builds 700 Pound Cannon for Son's Birthday · · Score: 1

    There was a spoof site that had a 'deer hunting cannon' but it appears to be gone. You'd not be able to use that to hunt with as it would be considered commercial hunting and since it's hard to lug around you'd have to bait game to come to it which is wholly illegal in most if not all states.

    Without a boogie man these researchers would not be able to get the handouts that keep them spewing questionable data. They were too effective at getting CFC's banned and now are jumping on anything that might get them funds.

    It's incitement to commit stalking. I'm not sure of the state but in many there is no need for the victim to press charges. That's a nice way to get a felony. It is also spam.

    If this is the case then they will need to expand the test to include the whole genome and place more burden on other evidence and motive. This is wonderful news as it is a crippling blow to biometrics.
