  1. where's my gesture control on Gesture Control for Automotive Peripherals · · Score: 1

    Cool - been looking for the gesture control on every car I've had - saves having to wind down the window........

  2. Re:I miss those teletype printers... on A Condensed History Of The Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Only recently disposed of my Creed Model 7B Teletype originally modded for rtty use on the amateur bands - drop one of those off a 3 storey building and you'd risk killing someone !!

  3. Re:So? on Netscape Pays $100,000 To Settle Privacy Issue · · Score: 1

    To be exactly accurate all they know is that users downloaded files whose names are consistent with those often used for pr0n and mp3s.........as the RIAA/MPAA have found already a filename does not a file make. Where would dildo_song.mov fit for instance ?

    It says India on tyres but that doesn't mean that's where the bus is going !!

    Which sort of makes the whole exercise even more pointless.

  4. Multitool on DeCSS Arguments in CA Supreme Court Case · · Score: 1

    Absolutely it's a burglary tool - being used to steal the next governorship ! Does this constitute the use of a tool as a tool by a tool ? ( British Slang - tool Noun. 1. A penis, implying its supposed usefulness. [1200s] 2. An idiot, a contemptible person.)

  5. Matrix shutdown on Review: Matrix: Reloaded · · Score: 1

    Matrix 3 - Neo wakes up feeling like shite, looking like shite and swearing never to eat those damned shite mushrooms again :-)

  6. too easy on Internet + Wireless Cameras = Homeland Security · · Score: 1

    so the terrorist organization of the day finds a bunch of kiddie hackers who break the encryption, construct a man-in-the-middle set up which either spoofs the images so all appears well or the opposite diverting attention to a bogus site......we've failed miserably so far to secure systems on nothing like this scale - this doesn't stand a chance.

  7. sense of proportion on U.S. Says Canada Cares Too Much About Liberties · · Score: 2, Interesting

    725 killed worldwide huh ? and what does www.fbi.gov have to say about annual murder statistics in the US ?........ how does that old saying about putting your own house in order go ?
