  1. third world nations: here we come!!! on Dutch to Open Electronic Files on Children · · Score: 1

    thank the mother of all ctrl-alt-del that I had my kid in a 3rd world country, that is now sort of 'up in smoke', have four valid passports and haven't been on radar in 15 years. As Robert A. Heinlein said alooong time ago: when it gets to this level its time to relocate to another planet. 3rd world will do in a pinch

  2. Re:This is the thanks the USA gets? on An Independent Study on Offshoring IT? · · Score: 1

    Of course, if germany and japan were over in the USA with military troops 'helping to protect' the heartland, then the american people wouldn't stand for it for a NY minute. Americans would move away from calling it an "interference" towards calling it an "occupation" and then onwards to a "armed militia insurrection" before anyone could say Yankee Doodle.

    The only difference is americans will have a harder time getting hold of soviet styled RPG launchers...

  3. Re:Worth the Money? on Epson's 12 Gram Flying Robot · · Score: 1

    Unless you sent a swarm of killer-bots after him, which would defeat the purpose of using such a tiny machine.

    I think the boys in blue(and the men in black) at the RNC would shit proverbial bricks to see a swarm of microfliers zooming towards the garden and detonating everywhere amongst the crowd(think home-brewed clusterbombs).
    Instant riots with people trampeling, old ladies getting squashed underfoot, scores of people injured (forget the actual severity of any injuries incured, people screaming and yelling for medical help all over the place would be mayhem enough) and one totally fucked-up RNC for the global media to feed on. As an anti-terrorism analyst I see massive potential for this.
    Oh yeah, before I forget, 2gr. of sarin gas circulated indoors (like say the garden) via arosol vector will kill lots and lots of people.

  4. Re:Meanwhile, in the city... on Getting Serious About Fuel Cells · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's safe. If all the cars would magically dissapear or turn into -harmless- jello. As it stands, Melbourne is in the midst of laying down a fair ammount of bikelanes. Unfortunately, the attitude of Ozzy drivers are on par with their bicycle-hating American counterpart drivers.
    So..., as long as you stay within the bikelanes you should be ok-ish.

  5. Re:FPS skillz != firearm skills on Do Videogame Skills Transfer To Real Life? · · Score: 1

    I use to be a US marine MOS 0300 & DSR(ok,ok, infantry and designated sniper rifleman for the civvies) and that helped me absolutely in FPS.

  6. Re:Careful planning on A Family IT/Tech Business?? · · Score: 1

    I agree with him (see previous). After a year I found out my (ex)girlfriend (working as marketing manager for our company) was geeting extra milage out of the office furniture with my business partner. Needless to say, friendship, ralationship and business are no more. Hire strangers, they're easier to get rid of.

  7. Re:One word - Karate on Building Social Skills in Gifted Youths? · · Score: 1

    Since all the comentary seems to focus on seperating the school bully from his teeth I'll try a different approche.
    I just looked at people, social connections, relationships etc.. as just another hacking problem, only this time 'networking' was the network and people the access-codes. All the same disciplines apply, and through observation (sniffer), and initial faking it (emulation), I learned the BIG SECRET...
    it-doesn't-matter-what-you-do. When you get over the angst that you are actually interacting with someone from the attracting-sex and you aren't WORRIED about it, or standing up to someones adverse treatment of you will come from CONFIDENCE in your KNOWLEDGE of the system. Which is in the end what you want to achieve, right?
