  1. Re:Trivial solution on Old Methods Used to Detect Liquid Explosives · · Score: 1

    15 people per 100,000 die road related deaths in america, which if you consider NY population of 20,000,000 then that is 3000 deaths a year.

    If terrorism were a real problem, they would go out and shoot people in the streets, blow up trains, stations and night clubs and cause real terror and fear every day. The truth is, that there is only a very small amount of people that want to terrorise us.

    A shitty forgein policy and being racist and abusive to imigrants doesn't help. Being friendly would.

    I'm from the UK, and any measure we come up with can be bypassed (terror can be caused a number of ways without planes).

    People need to realise that the chance of being killed by terrorists is minimal and nothing to worry about (you don't worry about crossing the road do you?).

    Go about your lifes and be friendly to your neighbours.

    I do this to sneak vodka into festivals. Works with balloons in bottoms and fake bottoms to bottles as well.

    Although I imagine a trained security guard (with a x-ray machine) will spot that stuff.

    Yes, yes, yes, and yes. It is better to measure and treat the problem than to hide it. The problem doesn't just go away because we don't talk about it.

    "unless he/she makes an incredibly dumb trade or someone cheats"

    And that is why it's not obvious who is going to win. It's a boardgame, you have to try and cheat and make unfair trades against the winner/person who screws you over most.

  7. Re:Adverts? on New(?) Anti-Fraud DNS service · · Score: 2, Informative

    I would prefer to be hit in the face than hit by a speeding car... although I'm not stupid enough to walk out in front of a speeding car.

  8. Re:One comment. on Scientists Blocking out the Sun · · Score: 1

    They never thought about building those solar collectors slightly above the clouds.

    Instead why not enslave the human race, develop new technology to extract power from the low level emission humans make, and built huge human farms to host all the billions of humans that are required to produce the power.

    Yeah that will make a good storyline...

  9. Re:I wonder if it cools his "Technical Staff"? on Icy-Flo - The solution to this summer's heat · · Score: 1

    I have a Samsung mp3 player (that is charged using a USB cable) and a usb speaker.

    If someone could show me to get the speaker to run off the mp3 battery so I don't need my laptop about to listen to music I would be grateful.

  10. Re:I'm for it. on A DNA Database For All U.S. Workers? · · Score: 1

    I take some of your skin and hair from you while you sleep, go next door and murder your neighbour, leaving traces of your skin and hair everwhere and leave.

    They find traces of your DNA and come round your house a arrest you.

    I walk away scott free.

  11. Re:Forums on Making Money Selling Music Without DRM · · Score: 1

    You could sign up for bonus packages.

    Rememeber that the tracks cost about 0.18$ (I got a yearly plan with a discount). For your average album that is less than $3 which is about about £2 here in the UK. A album in the UK costs £15+ so this is really cheap.

    If you download 90 tracks worth of music and 50% of stuff are things you know is good it's still great value for money even if the other half of stuff is total crap.

  12. Re:Forums on Making Money Selling Music Without DRM · · Score: 1

    I've been using up my 90 track limit so quickly I'm thinking about getting some bonus tracks (mostly to get the bands that will be playing at the festivals).

    But saying that, one of the things I like is that I actually listen to all the music I download now, all of it.

    Before with soulseek, I would often download so much stuff that I would listen to some of it only once, and never come across it again. I often put my music collection on random, and I lost track of alot of music that I liked.

    Now I have a whole month to listen to, rate, read about and fully tag my downloads for that month before I move the good ones onto my mp3 player for while I'm on the move and send the crappy ones to digital heaven/hell.

  13. Forums on Making Money Selling Music Without DRM · · Score: 2, Interesting

    eMusic is a really great site and I use up my 90 track limit in the first few days of every month.

    My only problem with it is there is no easy way to request certain artists and albums and get feedback when the albums finally do get added (this is even more true in the UK, not all the tracks are available to download just yet).

    I ment to say 'I do believe there is', which I'm pretty sure is correct. The 'Evil' was left in by mistake from the original. It should be 'they're' otherwise.

    He must get alot of fan boy crap, and it's E3 so x10 the normal. Yet still, it's stuff I want to read (unlike your waste of time comment)

  19. Re:I am also a fan of DRM on FCC Commissioner Wants To Push For DRM · · Score: 1

    Without DRM there couldn't be services like Napster.

    I don't mind the concept of DRM, but it has to work completly transparently. Having 101 different DRM systems that are all incompatitable with each other is what I think is stupid.

    Plus I object to having something I have bought having DRM on it (ie, I use emusic instead of itunes).

    But I definatly think that DRM has it's uses.
