  1. A better analogy on Some DNS Requests Ruled Illegal in North Dakota · · Score: 1

    I can tape a poster of my wife naked to the outside of the front door, and anybody who looks at it is invading her privacy.

    Obviously hypothetical as.

  2. Re:consequence of bad computer crime laws on Some DNS Requests Ruled Illegal in North Dakota · · Score: 3, Funny

    Be glad he didn't tase you, bro.

  3. Re:And other things.. on Y2K38 Watch Starts Saturday · · Score: 1

    No, it's more like comparing responses to a murder versus a plague.

  4. Re:Diminishing returns on US Policy Would Allow Government Access to Any Email · · Score: 1

    It's simple. That was your attorney (who has a vested interest in seeing his clients do well) but they weren't your cops (i.e. they don't give a shit about you.)

  5. Re:Really? on US Policy Would Allow Government Access to Any Email · · Score: 1

    Warrant? Are you living in a pre-911 world or something? As soon as you get/generate an encryption key, you'll be required to register it with a government database. Like a car or a firearm. But don't worry, Windows Vista SP3 will handle it for you.

  6. Re:What is a grocery store? on Microsoft Will Stream Ads To Grocery Carts · · Score: 1

    Heh, with the coupons my mother uses, she can feed a family for a week with $20 worth of groceries.

  7. Re:Oh, gawd... on Microsoft Will Stream Ads To Grocery Carts · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that in Post-9/11 America, the TV watches you!

  8. Re:not terribly funny on 2007 Darwin Award Winners · · Score: 1

    Yeah, nothing to compare with classics like this or this. The women who decided to sprint across a 7 lane highway during a thunderstorm was good though.

  9. Re:Opposed to teaching Evolution as a fact.... on 12 Florida Schools Pass Anti-Evolution Resolutions · · Score: 1

    As it should be. Teach these things as "theories with tons of evidence". Problem solved.

  10. Re:The plane crash disaster has been removed as a on SimCity Source Code Is Now Open · · Score: 1

    Yup, that was Bin Laden's goal from the start - to nerf a GPL'ed release of SimCity.

  11. Re:The Earth is 6000 years old on Huge Hydrogen Cloud Will Hit Milky Way · · Score: 1

    Huh? I don't get it. How would the Earth being 6000 years old preclude a hydrogen cloud from coming into the galaxy 20-40 million years from now?

  12. Re:A warming thought on Huge Hydrogen Cloud Will Hit Milky Way · · Score: 1

    Billions of years? Please. If humanity survives the next 10,000 years I expect it to come up with a way of destroying the universe as a whole. Mere centuries left after that.

  13. Re:Alternative energy source? on Huge Hydrogen Cloud Will Hit Milky Way · · Score: 1

    Just put $0.01 into a money market fund today instead.

  14. Re:Special security training? on 14-Year-Old Turns Tram System Into Personal Train Set · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Previously, anybody could throw the switch. Now, anybody can use a remote. Not much difference, really.

  15. Re:how many other "systems" like this? on 14-Year-Old Turns Tram System Into Personal Train Set · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of Ed and her little RC-plane controller.

  16. Re:Tag as Sun!Sol on Largest Black Hole Measured · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's equally silly to say The White House when there are plenty of white houses around, no?

  17. Re:That's so cool! on Origin of Antimatter Cloud Discovered · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The question is, could that cloud ever form into an anti-matter star?

  19. Re:Hah. on Facebook Photos Land Eden Prairie Kids in Trouble · · Score: 1

    So why not just tell us what these juvenile delinquents did and put it to rest? Mug an old lady? Set a homeless guy on fire? Rape a classmate?

  20. Re:Hah. on Facebook Photos Land Eden Prairie Kids in Trouble · · Score: 1

    If the websites were barred, how would they be able to meet their disciplinary quotas?

  21. Re:Hah. [[ Supposedly pics were delivered on Facebook Photos Land Eden Prairie Kids in Trouble · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sure beats shooting up the place.

  22. Re:Wasn't this tried before... on $2500 Tata Nano Car Unveiled in India · · Score: 1

    There's just so much steel you can buy for that much money and just so much power you're going to get out of an over sized lawn mower engine.

    Exactly, so with less steel you need less horse power to move it. It's so simple!

  23. Re:$2,500? on $2500 Tata Nano Car Unveiled in India · · Score: 1

    Small? For the price of just 3 of these you could get a top-of-the-line Alienware gaming rig!

    Well where's the fun in that? Someone should implement a genetic algorithm to find route. Input the points today, then come back tomorrow to see what it comes up with :)

  25. Re:it's not even cutting corners on Gaming Google a Gateway To Crime? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't this be similar to a casino claiming that card counters are more likely to commit crimes?
