  1. Re:49 people + 180 days = proof?? on First Phase of AIDS Vaccine Trials Successful · · Score: 1

    Hmm, what if the vaccine is sexually transmitted? Have they tested that? The bisexual community could could have and cause problems then, even if only the gay community accepts the treatment.

  2. Re:FBI Too Busy on The FBI Software Upgrade That Wasn't · · Score: 1

    No, you have it all wrong. The FBI would be reading the transcripts of the calls to your grandmother, provided to them by the NSA.

  3. Re:What would its name be on Our Moon Could Become a Planet · · Score: 1

    In English the word "moon" can be referred to any satellite around any planet, as in "the moons of Saturn." In "Russian and some other languages" is the word "Luna" usually used when talking of other planet's moons? Because if it's just the name of Earth's moon, that's exactly what we're looking for here.

    Dilbert, is that you?

  5. Re:Religion? on IT Workers Face Dangerous Stress · · Score: 1

    Get a new religion. I hear some temples in Oblivion are always looking for new converts.

  6. Re:Hmm on Our Moon Could Become a Planet · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No-one knows if the humans will survive that long, maybe there will be no-one to rename it.

    A billion years? If our descendents exist by that time, they won't be considered human by our current definitions. I think it's a safe bet that the only way humans as we know them today could survive that long would be by either time-traveling or becoming a part of some aliens' (or dolphins') "Save the Humans" project.

    How about Luna?

    It benefits them because few people listen to allegations of conspiracy, and most of the public will buy this hook, line, and sinker and approval polls will show it.

  10. Re:State secrets? on Judge Rules NSA Wiretapping Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    It's actually very simple - there are two U.S. Constitutions. There's the Constitution we all know and love, and then there's a super top secret one for the NSA, CIA, and a few organizations you're not cleared to know about.

  11. Re:Trust us! We're the government! on Judge Rules NSA Wiretapping Unconstitutional · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why stage a suicide, or even a murder for that matter, when they can imprison or even kill him and then claim that it was done legally?

  12. Re:preprogrammed phones for kids? on Kids with Cell Phones, How Young is Too Young? · · Score: 1

    And from experience, I know that you can't trust a seven year old to even care about what time they should return to meet you. The part of the brain necessary for that kind of judgement usually isn't connected at that age.

    Are you sure you're not generalizing based on a specific 7-year-old?

    Hey, anyone remember the original Star Craft visuals shown at E3, using the Warcraft 2 engine?

    This post useless without ISBN.

    Try 080213422X (The Painted Bird). I'm pretty sure it has everything mentioned and more, except for chain saw decapitation. All from the point of view of a little boy. It was on the reading list for my 12th grade English class....

    Religious person: I know God exists, but cannot prove it to you.
    Agnostic: I know it is impossible to know for certain whether or not God exists. But I also know that it is impossible to know anything for certain, including this bit of knowledge.

    That's actually what Classicfication #1 should be, and is a subset of Classification #2.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I doubt that many people find the point in your pants to be all that interesting.

    I'm sure Major Victory from Who Wants to be a Superhero could do it.

  19. Re:Huh? What about the free Silver account? on Nintendo Confirms Free Online Play For Wii · · Score: 1

    I stand corrected. I actually had forgotten about the Silver free subscription. So if I have a Silver account (free) and buy Street Fighter Hyper Fighting from XBLA, can I then play that online? I'm honestly asking, I really have no clue.

    No, you need the Gold account to play online. Silver would let you buy SFHF from XBLA and play it single player.

  20. Re:on top of that on Biometric Terrorist Detector · · Score: 1

    I bet there are quite a high percentage of people who, just by hooking them up to the polygraph apparatus (which is basically what we're talking about) would have elevated levels and potentially have a panic attack in some percentage of the population

    Isn't that what the callibration questions are for in polygraph examinations?

    Yep, that's the only time I've heard this question myself.

    Use preg_replace( '/[^a-zA-Z0-9\-_]', '', $input ) on all input used in file names.

    I'm not a regular expressions expert (IANAREE?), but wouldn't this remove all periods from the filename? Someone uploading BigBoobs.jpg may not want it to be stored as BigBoobsjpg. '~' is also a legal character in filenames, and I'm sure there are others caught by the expression that I'm missing.

    So are you saying it's legal to send unsolicited non-kiddy porn to random physical addresses? I think a large portion of parents in the U.S. and U.K. would be upset enough to take legal action if little Johnny comes from the mailbox carrying hardcore porn.
