  1. Re:I've wanted this for years. on Google Calls For Power Supply Design Changes · · Score: 1

    You still miss the Commodore 64 don't you?

  2. Re:Submitter has hit the nail on the head. on Content Owners to Charge Royalties for Searching? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The absolute second a pornographer sued Google they should have ripped anything by them off their server and made sure that would never appear on a Google search again.

    Any 'content holder' that whines needs the same thing done to them with no option for reindexing without paying enough to bleed them white or better donating a large chunk of their content to the public domain.

  3. Re:nothing wrong on CCTV Cameras In UK Get Loudspeakers · · Score: 1

    Well they could start telling you where to walk, who to have sex with, who you can or cannot marry, what to eat, when to eat, when to crap...

    Piers Anthony actually predicted this form of social interaction.

  5. Re:This is Dangerous on Judge Rules Sites Can Be Sued Over Design · · Score: 1

    Yes flash sucks. Instead of compliance I'd just move the website to another country.

  6. Re:Using "nanotechnology" to dye your hair... on Nanocosmetics Used Since Ancient Egypt · · Score: 2, Informative

    Quotable "Lead hair dye, it'll make your brain match your stupid new look"

    There was a nanotech window treatment that made a bunch of people sick. Smoke from most any source is a bad nanoparticle, etc.

  7. Re:Nice try, but... on Wi-Fi Fingerprints -- the End of MAC Spoofing? · · Score: 1

    Yes and there is a small tranceiver board that will do just that. You just record the same information and them modify your transmitted signal to be the same.

  8. Re:Known issue on Amazon Snooping Your Surfing For Targeted Ads? · · Score: 1

    I would go to sites that had some code or other that would go to amazon, they would read my cookie and then feed a message to be displayed on that non amazon site. I don't think the site ever got any information but I suspect they got some sort of kickback from amazon.

    I ticked me off enough I just have their cookies deleted automatically when the session is over.

  9. IsueUUsueMe on EFF Sues Barney Producers over Spoof Sites · · Score: 1

    I think these sue happy troglodytes need a dose of despongification.

  10. Defund them. on IAU Demotes Pluto to 'Dwarf Planet' Status · · Score: 1

    Well any institution that officially acknowleges this stupidity should lose government funding. It's one way I get a vote.

  11. This says glial cells are more than just a support on Goldfish Smarter Than Dolphins · · Score: 1
  12. Oh hell more prequel crap. on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Paramount can kiss my ass.

  13. Can't they just not suck? on AOL Planning Move to Ad-Supported Model · · Score: 1

    Find out why people are leaving and cater to them. They should have dumped the front end to the service ages ago.

  14. Only NSA approved hardware please. on Army to Require Trusted Platform Module in PCs · · Score: 2, Funny

    The army is stupid. It should mandate it's own standard for this using NSA approved hardware.

    Sheesh

  15. Re:No more cds?!?! on CEO Calls For AOL Paradigm Shift · · Score: 1

    AOL X will come on a 1 gig pen drive with firefox cripplers, spam trojans, popup daemons, and a pornulator!

    AOL CDs will become collectable!

  16. off the record means it doesn't exist on EU Fines for Microsoft Approved, Off the Record · · Score: 1

    If it's off the record it should not exist. What is the EU anyway to have such a provision.
    Yea I loath microsoft but choosing which evil is worse gets difficult.

  17. Biodegradable mine Re:...clean up too! on Networked Landmines Work Together · · Score: 2, Informative

    Based on some other light reading you could even tell or time the mine to deactivate and release a feeding solution that would encourage the breakdown of the explosive to non-toxic components or to release a colorant to facilitate detection. Either could be timed or activated by chemical means rather than depending on the electronics thus making the mine somewhat biodegradable.

    Sweden FOI issues an annual report, one of the detection methods mentioned in the 2003 report is the breakdown of explosive by bacteria. They are also working on environmentally friendly explosives. I merely couple these two ideas into one.

  21. exEMPlary hacking on Encrypted Ammunition? · · Score: 1

    If it's a hunk of steel and chemicals crudely fashioned I can't hack it remotely.

    If it's electronic I have the capability to disable your guns or have your guns kill you. Though my foo is rusty and I am slower than I was I can run a geek farm just fine.

    Outfit your police and military with this first if it's so swell and wonderful.

    Wait for the next riot and a 12 year old with a HERF gun set on OFF.

  22. Food, shower, shave...sleep on Internet Giving Homeless a Home · · Score: 1

    I found it better to know where the nearest truck stop with a shower happened to be. Where I could get free food. Where I could find a place to sleep.

    I can always get internet at a library.

    But that's just me.

  23. Tankable on Interstate Highway System: 50th Anniversary · · Score: 1

    Yeah he knew at some point we'd need to move tanks around the country.

  24. Re:Joe does it on A New Technique to Quickly Erase Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    125 pounds? Why not just open the drive and stick it in a sealed box and pour a chemical that eats the platter coating off.

  25. Re:Mixed feelings on Firefox to Drop Pre-Windows 2000 Support · · Score: 1

    When Linux mimics Win98 exactly. All the buttons, keys and crap work exactly the same so the user can't tell. The word processor looks like word...etc. I'll be able to slip that into someones PC as long as they don't need gamez or twiddly crap or load programs.

    If there is any learning curve, forget it. Only geeks bother with that.
