  1. Re:It sounds like hitting water at high speed on Military Develops Liquid Body Armor · · Score: 3, Informative
    *sigh*

    that is exactly the parent's point. If its stab resistant how can it also be sewable. Since sewing is essentially stabbing a piece of cloth with a needle that has some thread going through it.

    I'd kill for $20 an hour, and I live in CA, Bay Area.

    Admittedly though, I got hired as a programmer, post dotcom, no degree, and did almost zero programming and a lot of hardware troubleshooting so I consider myself lucky.

    My next best alternative is probaly Starbucks.

    if you had cared to read the parent of my post you'd notice I was replying to this statement.

    but I'd be more concerned had this bill popped up in, say, California.

    FYI, bud.

    Now I can't belive any in congress is that stupid. I could just see Silicon Valley picking up en masse and moving across the border to Nevada.

  6. Re:So? on Projectionists Using Night Vision Goggles in Theaters · · Score: 1
    Yes, taking a camcorder into a movie theater is illegal, but a year in jail? Come on. How can you justify a year of jail time for a non-violent crime?

    Let me put this into perspective. The average charge for involuntary manslaughter, meaning unintentionally causing the death of another individual through gross negligence is 1-2 years. So hyperthetically if you're caught by security video taping a movie and in the process of trying to arrest you in the movie theater the guard slips on your soda, breaks his neck and dies, you will probably serve more time for the videotaping charge than for causing the death of the security guard. That seem right to you? Honestly?

    There are degrees to criminal acitivty. This is why we have a criminal justice system. Now anyone with enough money can pervert the law to their own interests.

  10. get to begging. on Spyware Company Sues Utah Over Anti-Spyware Law · · Score: 3, Insightful
    so beg your users for money. I can point to a number of sites that exist soley on user donations. I personally wouldn't frequent a site that bombards me with pop-ups and if you have users that endure it I'm sure they be willing to float you some dough every now and then if they like your content so much.

    Besides compared to what you would get sued for for sharing an MP3 or what the fine would be for DOSing the NY Times for 15 minutes, I consider that pretty reasonable.

    A few on the streets have these diaganol crossing things. Apparently this was put in place because the Chinese immigrants would do it anyway (some Chinese cities are setup like that, I guess). Another interesting tidbit, the street signs are written in both English and Chinese.

    you my friend oput too much stock in the human race.

    I was living in NY when they first rolled out the Metrocard vending machines. Its amazing how long it took the average person over the age of 35 or so to get a card. There were people with stacks of these cards because they couldn't figure out how to renew an old one.

    Maybe in about 4 decades when the vast majority of society is technically adept, but by then they'd probably come up with something new that dumbfounds us oldtimers. As it I refuse to send or reply to cellphone text messages. I don't need another language of shortcut keys taking up valuable brain space.
