  4. Re:Tin-hat tin-pot on Fatal Flaw Weakens RFID Passports · · Score: 2, Funny

    Isn't the whole point of the tin-hat to give the public confidence, while still allowing tracking by suitably equipped (funded) parties?

    How hard is it to track a person with tin-hat in public places?

    Indeed, I am going to the store for the Sony CD to hide my collection of p0rn. Now, how will I explain what happened to 90% of the harddrive space?...

  11. a quote from Intel on Why Do People Switch To Linux? · · Score: 1

    from Microsoft's paranoia, which results in quotes like the one that had Bill Gates saying he'd put Linux in the Computer museum like he has other competitors

    Yeah, especially considering the fact that it took me just a second to download the picture here, several million lightyears away from Mars!

  14. Re:The biggest limiting factor seemed to be... on No One Wins NASA Space Elevator Contest · · Score: 2

    The biggest limiting factor was that NASA will offer $100k for the same contest next year. Whether it will offer $200k a year after that will decide the fate of the next contest.

    Interestingly enough, exactly 45 years ago, October 24, 1960, the Nedelin catastrophe occured in Russia. A rocket exploded on the launch pad, killing some 100+ people, including Marshal Nedelin.

    how many people actually use luggage combinations like that?

    In my car (Audi), the music system (Bose) has an antitheft device. If disconnected from the car (or fuse gets blown or something) you will need to enter the 4 digit code to unlock the system. It gives you 3 attempts and then you will have to wait for 24 hours to try again. A few weeks ago a fluke in electronics happened and Bose locked itself. I could not find the code in the manual, which I keep in the car (doh), so I had to go to the dealer, who called the manufacturer with VIN of my car and serial # of Bose, and got the code of my Bose: '1235'! Since I had 3 attempts and that would have been my second guess, I would not even have to wait for 24 hours to unlock the system.

    The dealer told me not to keep the code in my car.

  23. Re:Back to where they begun? on NASA's New Shuttle · · Score: 1

    because Russia went bankrupt and experienced a coup.

    There is a huge difference between political and financial crises. Technically, the Soviet Union did not go bankrupt and fell apart in 1991, it was rather the other way around. By comparison, Russia did default on the government loans in 1998, but that did not break the country, and Russia recovered since then.
