  1. Centrifugal Force on Measuring Fragmentation in HFS+ · · Score: 5, Funny

    I just put my hard drive in my drier when it is fragmented. Since the group of unfragmented bits weighs more than the fragmented ones, The spinning action causes all of those stray bits to attach to the greater mass.

    If Bill is Vader, then the emperor is who?

    Balmer: Join me, and together we can rule Cyberspace as father and son.

  4. But not across hundreds of miles on Cell Phone Jammers: Coming To An Event Near You? · · Score: 1
    From what I understand the whole cellphone problem is that you have a network allready in place to transmit and repeat across even countries. Timer on Bomb in USA attached to cell phone, call cell phone from France and BOOM.

    maybe this works for other frequencies as well, maybe someone could enlighten on that subject

  7. Yes but on Anti-HIV Virus Developed · · Score: 1
    Because if you can get a virus to do something it didn't do originally and easily modify it to do something else, that is very dangerous. Imaging common cold + ebola. A stretch, true, but something to think about.

    That part has already scared me, but they have been able to Monkey (no pun intended) around with viruses for a while now, the part about it becoming cheaper was inevitable.

  8. Shouldn't Scare on Anti-HIV Virus Developed · · Score: 5, Insightful
    'It took Adam Arkin and David Schaffer just $200,000 and a grad student to develop a potential treatment for AIDS. And that scares them.'

    Why should this scare anybody? Alot of discoveries are just happenstance, or maybe it took somebody to think outside of the box, or maybe they are super geniuses

    My point is, if you can call it that, is that it doesn't always take a 50 Billion dollar military grant to come up with something to change the world. Ask the guy that invented the wheel.

  9. I can See it Now on Swedish Carbon-Fiber Stealth Ship Runs NT · · Score: 5, Funny

    Excuse my lack of Nautical Terms, but you get the idea.

    Navigator: Captain, radar is picking up an iceberg 2 Nautical miles ahead, just off the port bow.

    Captain: No problem, that's plenty of time to steer clear.

    Captain clicks the navigation display on NT

    Clippy: It seems you are trying to steer, what would you like to do?

    • Steer Port
    • Steer Starboard

    Navigator: Captain, Icberg 1 mile ahead

    Captain: (showing frustration) clicks Steer Starboard

    Captain: This should handle it!

    Clippy: How many degrees starboard would you liek to steer?

    • 5
    • 10

    Captain uttering swedish curse words, clicks 10 degrees

    Navigator Captain, Iceberg at 400 meters

    Clippy: You clicked Turn Starboard and 15 degrees, it seems you are trying to evade an Iceberg. Windows NE (Nautical Edition) has several new features, just for this.

    Clippy: Would you like to enable the "Evade Iceburg" Wizard?

    Captain: $^@#$#%*, runs up to the wooden ships wheel

    Captain: See, this is why the tried and true method works! turns the wheel

    Windows NE has detected a new device and is unable to find a driver for it.

  11. Re:Oh goody. on Cisco Applies For Patents To Secured TCP · · Score: 2, Funny
    but with the recent "Self protecting networks" ads

    I know my Cisco router is self protecting, everytime it gets more than a few requests at a time it shuts down all network traffic, requiring a reboot. At first I thought it was those damn bastards at /., but then i realized it was a feature!

  12. Copy Protection on Sony PC/DVR Incorporates 7 Tuners & 1TB HD · · Score: 2, Interesting
    1TB and 7 tuners - allowing the recording of 7 shows at the same time. It also has a very cool look."

    Even so, who wan't to bet on some for of copy protection for things like new releases, and popular series. Sure you can record Kill Bill Volume 10, but I bet you cant transfer the file to your comp and burn a DVD.

    So then your stuck with a bunch of video on your DVR, which must be erased in order to add new content. I have a DVR, and really like it, but beyond recording a show or two to watch a couple of hours or days later, that's it. If I had a terabyte of video, by the time I got around to watching it, I would have recorded over or could care less about the majority of it.

    Now if I could burn it, thast would be outstanding

  13. Boolean Algebra? on Alan Turing, the Inventor of Software · · Score: 1

    I thought George Boole, could be more accurately called 'The Inventor of Software'. Doesn't boolean algebra lay the foundation for which programming is based upon.

  15. Bluetooth on Microsoft Backs Out Of Wi-Fi Equipment Market · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Like their keyboards and mice, they're damn fine products.

    while I agree on this for the most part, the Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse Combo just plain sucks. The Mouse never goes into standby, so it's a big drain on batteries. Then 75% of the time, if the batteries die while the computer is off, you have to reinstall - which is very cumbersome.

    you have to break out the good old wired versions to do this. They don't even offer a patch to fix this, just suggest a reinstall and or relocation of the bluetooth devices. Now why the hell do I want to reinstall every couple of weeks or so.

  16. International Law anyone on Stopping Overseas Fax Spam? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The woman took down my number, but rather smugly told me that they are in England so they do not have to obey the US unsolicited fax laws. She wouldn't provide me with any other company information, and then stopped answering calls from my number after repeated hang-ups. The FCC says that it is a civil matter, and to go through the courts. The Fax Preference Service in the UK says they cannot help people outside the UK.

    Now, I don't know about some third world countries, but isn't there a treaty that says something like "If a law is illegal in our country, your 'citizen' can't do it in our country.

    I can't quite figure out this statement:

    By analyzing only 768 pixels, the system can detect 93 percent of the faces in a set of images while falsely identifying four objects as faces.

    Is it - four objects in a specific set of images, or four specific objects.

    for example

    • all 'insert object here' objects are mistaken for faces
    • or is it only four random objects in this specific set
