  1. Chalk up one more on Corals Adapt to Global Warming · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Chalk up one more for these guys.

  2. Re:Digging deeper, we find... on BSA Asks Kids to Name Copyright Weasel · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the BSA wants to donate to some sort of fund for early legal education?
    I think this would backfire too. I never really gave much thought about patent abuse and congress lobbying and Open Source until I had intellectual property rights courses in college.

  3. Re:Lemmiwinks! on BSA Asks Kids to Name Copyright Weasel · · Score: 1

    Tell your friend to make fake stickers that read "Smoking can cure stupidity" to paste on the packs.

    Hail Darwin !

  4. Re:Yeah, right... I Call Bullshit AGAIN on Using Copyright To Suppress Political Speech · · Score: 1

    I suggest you go read this before writing any further on the subject.

    Kerry did get self-inflicted shrapnel in the buttocks, but then continued fighting. Later he got his arm injured (and bleeding) from the explosion of an ennemy floating mine, and this is what earned him his third purple heart. Also, that Letson guy in the ad did NOT treat his wound, Carreon did.

  5. Hail Eris on Microsoft Developing Linux Policy, Plan of Attack · · Score: 1

    There's no set architecture in Linux. All roads lead to madness

    And That's Beautiful !

  6. Re:Imagine if Microsoft had done this ... on Apple Not Too Harmonious with Real · · Score: 1

    Then I have some dork telling me about their "Open Firmware". Open, my ass. If it was Open, I could build my own.

    You can. Open Firmware is an open standard set up by Sun (IEEE 1257). Have a nice crow.

  7. Re:RTFA? on Human Powered Helicopter · · Score: 1

    Move the mouse until the cursor on the monitor is roughly above the top of the logo. Press the button on the top left hand corner of the mouse (try not to move the mouse too much at the same time).

    Ta-Da.

    Or if you're really lazy or fail to keep the mouse steady while pressing the button, you can still try here. /sarcasm

  8. Re:The Award on Annual Big Brother Award Winners Announced · · Score: 1

    You forgot to reference the Illuminati and tin foil hats.

  9. Re:Crypto? on RFID More Hackable Than Retailers Think? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Let's say I have my own RFID tags, wich have a rewriteable serial number and higher signal power output. If I program them to masquerade as some random product I've walked past in the shop, then paste them onto the products I want to buy, could they mask the legit RFID and fool the reader ?

  10. Re:W-O-R-M on RFID More Hackable Than Retailers Think? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Would it be possible to overlay a forged signal when the tag is interrogated, if I'm standing close enough from the reader ?

  11. Good. on BayStar Sets Lawyers on SCO · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I see we're now in the "SCO becomes laughing stock of the IT industry" part. In fact, I think we're about to enter the "SCO shareholders gather to file a class-action lawsuit against Darl and his clique" part.

  12. Obvious marketing stunt, here's the catch: on Halo 2 Website Puzzle Confounds · · Score: 0

    I love bees = I love buzz.

    The webbsite is just building buzz for Halo2.

  13. Re:MREs and dirty water on Just Add, Umm, Water · · Score: 1

    Trust me, spaghetti alla bolognese are very, very nice even when cold. Some say they taste even better cold.

  14. Could they be... on Ship-Sinking Monster Waves Revealed · · Score: 1

  16. Re:Life was inevitable on Ammonia Could Indicate Life On Mars · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not only do rocks travel between Mars and the Earth, but some are even thought to have traveled there and back !

    There's approximately half a ton of material from Mars that falls on the Earth every year. Even though it takes more momentum to leave the Earth and more chance to fall back on Mars than the opposite, that's way too much to neglect.

  17. Re:So if black holes are lossless on Steven Hawking Loses Bet On Black Holes? · · Score: 1

    Of course that'd be quite difficult to move around with a black hole in your PDA or notebook, but ... think of the compression ratio !

  18. Re:My world is crumbling on Steven Hawking Loses Bet On Black Holes? · · Score: 1

    Gee, and Sir Hawking also believes mass is a fundamental property of matter, too !

  19. Re:French laws are not the same as european laws. on CeCILL: La Licence Francaise Du Logiciel Libre · · Score: 1

    Employers can claim rights to code you write during spare time if it's done using material or tools that belong to the company. Just so you know.

  20. Great, great on Sports Highlights via AI · · Score: 3, Funny

    I can totally see this helping with the never-stopping shrinking of attention span.

  21. Re:Reality check - we don't know how to live in sp on More on Inflatable Space Hotels · · Score: 2, Informative

    According to NASA studies on centrifugation of people, and IIRC, humans can't tell whether they're subjected to centrifugal acceleration or gravity when the radius of rotation exceeds roughly 60 feet.

  22. Another simpler, enforceable solution... on Senate Takes Aim At P2P Providers · · Score: 1

    ... would be to make copyright infringement legal. Voilà, no more evil file exchanges, no more "thievery", no more "digital crimes". End of the problem !

    Makes more sense, doesn't it ?

  23. Re:Ethical questions on Cassini Shatters Titan Theories · · Score: 1

    On a clear sunny day ? I suppose you mean at noon and not at dawn or dusk (and certainly not at night !). My figure of 164 W is an average on the whole surface at any time, not the peak power one can get by sitting right under the Sun at a moderate latitude ;)

  24. Tin Foil Hat Time ! on U.S. Government Sometimes Jams Keyless Car Locks? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I hear you get good prices when buying tin foil in large orders. I'd probably need that for the garage door.

  25. 1.2kW peak, not average. on Cassini Shatters Titan Theories · · Score: 1
