  1. I think you folks watch too many movies. on U.S. Makes Plans for GPS Shutdown · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    This seems like a real waste of resources. Attack the GPS system? That would require large resources from the attackers to pull that off. I don't for a minute believe that guys hidden in caves around the world, of living in dingy apartments have that capability. If they did have the technical skill to pull that off, they could be making big money in a western country anf living with blond women. A TERROR attack must be large, violent, and against people, or it has little impact. I waon't state them here, but there are much, MUCH eaiser targets that the GPS system. Rant off.

  2. So they think they're hording packets? on Digital Packrats · · Score: 1

    You ain't seen hording packets till you see the boxes I have stashed full of 5 1/4" floppies. When the drought comes, I'll corner the market on antique storage media!

  3. Another idea that will go nowhere on "Dream Team" to Create Gigapixel Photo System · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...until the porn industry co-opts it.

  4. What is the EAA'as position on this? on Private Spaceflight Law Passes Senate · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Should spacecraft have to go under the spame standard as any other experimental aircraft? Should the standard be higher or lower. And should there be any regulation at all? If I were a spacecraft designer/manufacturer, and the US gov gave me too much of a headache, why wouldn't I pack my bags and go somewhere else? I'm sure there are plenty of third world countries that would love to become the capitol of intergalactic travel. Spaceport Nigeria, anyone? (Wait, I already got an email about the new spaceport in Nigeria, and if I send .........)

  5. So when hackers write a virus for this on Non-Invasive Computer Control Through Brainwaves · · Score: 1

    Will you get sick?

  6. It will never catch on or be useful on Non-Invasive Computer Control Through Brainwaves · · Score: 1

    Until the porn or gaming industries figure out how to adapt it. I can hardly wait. Any ideas?

  7. PC's made in china? So What...... on Chinese PC Maker Looks to Buy IBM's PC Business · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Do they actually make them anywhere else? Last time I looked at my Dell, it had China stickers all over it. This would really be a good deal for Gateway though.

  8. I don't think... on Former CIA Head Calls for Limiting Access to the Internet · · Score: 1

    ...that the 6 users out there that take security seriously will justify the cost of the internet.

  9. It's not all gravy!! on Spyware Removal is Big Business · · Score: 0

    Those of us that do in-house support have to spend hours every week cleaning up spyware and it just goes with the turf. There no money in it. A friend called Geeks on Call and they charged her $400 to clean her PC. I think all in-house support people should start sending bills to these advertisers for the cost of my time spent removing their programs. Who's with me?

  10. Google...Microsoft.... on Google Muscles Into Microsoft's Turf · · Score: 0, Troll

    You WILL be assimulated!

  11. They'll take my mouse on FCC Claims Regulatory Power Over Home Computers · · Score: 5, Funny

    When they pry it from my cold, dead fingers!

  12. BSOD on Microsoft To Launch Homegrown Search Engine · · Score: 0

    Blue Search of Death? Well, it had to be said.

  15. It's not really useful if... on Xen 2.0 Virtual Machine Monitor Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    It can't run AmigaDOS.

  16. How does one... on Will Your Next Car Run Windows? · · Score: 1

    ...reboot a car? Does the faster you go make it crash more often? If you put more people in it, will one of them fail and cause the car to wreck? Do the occupants need to be compatable with each other? How would you get patches? Would the car be obsolete in 3 years? Does the thought of this make your head hurt too?

  17. This will be useless on A Tapeless Digital Camcorder For Your Pocket · · Score: 1

    until they attach a cell phone or gameboy to it.

  18. MOD UP on Ask Neal Stephenson · · Score: 1

    Mod this question up. I'm interested in his influnces as well. Also, what technology or technologies influenced him.

  19. Almost perfect on Canon's new 16.7MP Digital SLR, with WiFi · · Score: 1

    But lacking a cell phone like my camera. Come on guys, at least get a PDA on that thing.

  20. Hey you kids! on Making Tracks on Mars · · Score: 3, Funny

    Quit messing up my lawn!!!

  21. TWO WORDS!!!!!! on Searching For Trouble With Google · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "Parent directory". That Google search is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

  22. This is not really new on Build Your Own Hybrid-Electric Car? · · Score: 2, Funny

    There were plans for hybrid cars in the 70's. Plans were available in the back of every Popular Science magazine. You started with an old Pinto or Vega, put in a Briggs & Stratton lawnmower engine, and some kind of big electric motor. I was ready to build one till I figured out I'd have to pop the hood every morning and crank up the engine with a pull cord.

  23. I knew I was in trouble on Tech Support Levels Dropping · · Score: 1, Funny

    When I start asking a rather simple question and the next thing they say is "please talk slow, I understand".

  24. More practical on Getting Your Boss To Buy Lava Lamps · · Score: 2, Funny

    Would be a beer cooler. If your code/project/whatever works, beer gets cold. If it fails, beer gets warm. That's real incentive. Ur, except in England.

  25. I've got a girlfriend that's better than that, on Virtual Girlfriend · · Score: 1

    she does whatever she likes. That aside, real women, in my experience, are pretty high maintenance as it is. This is either one more female that I don't need, or a good training exercise for teenage boys.
