    Someone has already traced the IP address he posted from and broken his display.

  2. Re:Bummer on RSA Conference Bans "Booth Babes" · · Score: 1

    reverse booth babes. hire hookers to talk to booth workers, take them back to a hotel room, then blackmail them with photo's of the event.

    like shooting fish in a barrel

  3. Re:Wouldn't be the first time... on Facebook Sued For Alleged Theft of Data Center Design · · Score: 1

    At least they are hardware people, so they should be able to come up with something more convincing of their movement than that broom handle/ceiling fan thing.

  4. Re:racks, equipment, wires... filing my patent now on Facebook Sued For Alleged Theft of Data Center Design · · Score: 1

    no. that's a completely different industry. it would never have occurred to Facebook to do this kind of thing but for BRG.

    You'll also have to turn over your sperm and/or eggs in perpetuity so you can't make any more copies in the future.

    Yeah, the Berlin Wall had a lot of nice murals on it.

  7. Re:Lutron on Dueling Home Automation Systems at SXSW (Video) · · Score: 1

    not really "automation". more like "remote control".

  8. Re:Hmmm on RadioShack Puts Customer Data Up For Sale In Bankruptcy Auction · · Score: 1

    And as a bonus, if you know how much the stuff is supposed to be, you can pay less. Every couple of months a scanned item will have a different, higher price than what is posted on the shelve, and the store is obliged to sell the product for the shelve price.

  9. Re:Hmmm on RadioShack Puts Customer Data Up For Sale In Bankruptcy Auction · · Score: 1

    That pretty much seems to be the only way to get a "sales associate" to come over and help you. The only other way is to just start dumping stuff off the shelves, but then they ask you to leave.

  10. Re: Do It, it worked in AZ on Gen Con Threatens To Leave Indianapolis Over Religious Freedom Bill · · Score: 1

    Have you seen what corporations have done? Lots people do check their humanity at the door.

    Comcast will have no problem paying the $10 fine.

  12. The US has been exporting that for quite some time.

    And we could really use a Digital Single Market to resell all the music that we no longer want to listen to.

  13. Re: Genius on Uber To Turn Into a Big Data Company By Selling Location Data · · Score: 1

    Yes. You can choose to live as a hermit in a cave. Civilization demands the right to sell your personal information for the benefit of others.

  14. Re: You should title this "Patriot act to be repea on New Bill Would Repeal Patriot Act · · Score: 1

    It was never under the control of Congress. That was just how it was sold to the public.

  15. Re:Not even a Roboticist on Do Robots Need Behavioral 'Laws' For Interacting With Other Robots? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes. The only thing we really need to do is hardcode is that only boy-robot/girl-robot joining is allowed, and they aren't allowed to use anything to prevent the transfer of oil. Every drop is sacred.

    Exact Monsanto quote: "We have no records of any proof that Glyphosate causes cancer of any type."

  19. Re:As a recent buyer of a mid-2014 MBP on Apple Doubles MacBook Pro R/W Performance · · Score: 1

    No. If he had bought a Dell, they would have put out a new laptop with a different random model number that was only 5% faster.

  20. Re:Last week I tried to write a Win8.1 universal a on Microsoft Releases Windows 10 SDK · · Score: 1

    Really? It has some kind of mechanism that converts between a touch-based app and a mouse/keyboard based app?

    Because they are fundamentally different. Not that you can't use the same UI for both, but one or both REALLY sucks unless the UI is rather specific to the input methods.

  21. Re:Free as in on Pixar Releases Free Version of RenderMan · · Score: 1

    So, you can drink all you want, but you need to hold it in.

    You have to pay for it whenever you 'go'.

  22. Re:Not comprehensive on The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Introduces the Doomsday Dashboard · · Score: 3, Funny

    Typically, the citizens wind up spending all their time messaging each other on their cell phones, and ninja's sneak up behind them and kill them.

    Haven't you seen ANY documentaries on the fall of the roman empire?

    It's a race to the bottom.

    In the US: "They have permission to X in the UK. We need those powers here in the US [passes legislation for X & Y]"

    Harper's working on it, trying to figure out how to buy a bunch of those F-35's. And more boats and subs. But less funding for healthcare for veterans.

    Good news. Harper is jumping on the 'people need guns to protect themselves' bandwagon for the next election.
