  1. Re:Software only solution? on Stephen Fry and DVD Jon Back USB Sniffer Project · · Score: 2, Informative

    You just answered your own question. This will work on *anything* that has a USB port. Anything.

  2. Re:Combat situation on BEAR Robot Designed To Rescue Wounded Soldiers · · Score: 1

    Did you see the words "have to" in that post? Apparently not.

  3. Re:Entirely predictable. on A Peek At the National Opt-Out Day Numbers · · Score: 1

    That's not what terrorism is.

    "Realise" is the correct British-English spelling.

  5. Re:Yeah, right. on Pirate Party's North American Debut · · Score: 1

    The legal notion of "stealing" isn't "getting something you didn't pay for" but "depriving someone of physical property". If you are an author, and someone copies your book, you still have your book. Get some of that sand out of your vagina - it's making you cranky.

    Did you not read the rest of his post? He answered that for you.

    "Stopped clock" and all that...

    Oh man you done fucked right up.

  9. Re:TSA Security Theater on TSA Saw My Junk, Missed Razor Blades, Says Adam Savage · · Score: 1

    The electronics are rather well shielded even on relatively-old aircraft. You'd probably make the on-board entertainment shit the bed, though. "Fucking Jim Belushi AGAIN!!! ALLAHU ACKBAR!"

    That's not going to stop someone blowing the plane up with secreted explosives. And every incident of air-rage where someone had to be sedated is now going to end up with a frenzied knife attack.

    And I had the same, and experienced the opposite. I love anecdotes too! :)

    Surely their extortion would be extortion?

    Not knowing the meaning of the word "stealing" is OK if you're in Kindergarten.

    Huh? You can fully automate NASCAR with a steering lock and a brick on the gas pedal.

    Awesome film. Kind of like a more rustic version of C'etait un Rendezvous, but without the urban legends :)

  18. Re:Living under surface on Life Found In Deepest Layer of Earth's Crust · · Score: 1

    Yes the Yukon is large. That is not a surprise to anyone. The planet does have too high a population, as modern man needs more land than we have just to live as they currently do.

    Linux is getting better, but please don't kid yourself.

  20. Re:Can you even buy a netbook without windows? on Comparing Windows and Ubuntu On Netbooks · · Score: 1

    Not for everyone. Windows' flash player supported hardware acceleration before Linux's and OS X's. Heck, I just uninstalled Ubuntu 10.10 from my notebook because Firefox was just terrible, and Flash performance was retarded. I replaced it with Windows 7, and now Flash works as it should - everything is fast, no tearing, no random crashes. Don't get me started on the rest of Ubuntu. Jesus.

    "Pipes it through its own codec"? Sure... after it reverses the polarity and re-routes the encryptions.

    A suitable method of I/O? Of which there are plenty?

  23. Re:Little difference? on Scientists Propose One-Way Trips To Mars · · Score: 1

    Yeah, most of the land might have been. The issue is the land that was already inhabited, and the asymmetric power dynamic that was artificially created, very rapidly, that has since been granted some sort of emotion-based immunity.

  24. Re:Little difference? on Scientists Propose One-Way Trips To Mars · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That is entirely incorrect. Palestinians just don't want to be treated like second-class citizens in their own country. I imagine if the UN decided to give Washington DC back to the Indians, and the Indians then took over large swathes of the country around DC and treated all non-Indian people like criminals, frequently attacking them and denying them basic human rights (like access to hospitals, safety of possessions, etc.), most non-Indians might be a bit pissed off too.

    How you got modded informative is truly bizarre. You are so clearly wrong it's not even funny.

  25. Re:Seems geologist was politer than IICV on The Story of My As-Yet-Unverified Impact Crater · · Score: 1

    I think it was more the guy's methodology rather than his bare enthusiasm that people took offence to. It seems the guy wants it to be a mystery more than he wants to know exactly what it is, which is pretty antithetical to science; the only methodology one can use to ascertain what the fuck is going on over there. It's kind of like the 9/11 truther movement - trying to shoe-horn "facts" into one's pre-existing ideas of what happened.
