    That explains a lot of the work coming out of Redmond.

    ... sending the DVDs to my mailbox. Thanks.

  3. I thought AGW was going to result in more steam, not less. So they are saying we are cooling off?

  4. Re:Mighty appetite on Monster Black Holes May Lurk All Around Us (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1
  5. every plane has a right to fly over cities, FBI or non-FBI

    Not if its airspace under ATC control. Fly around in circles, particularly with transponders turned off, and both ATC and every other pilot in the area will shit themselves.

  6. Re:So they are already using drones on Spies In The Skies: FBI Planes Are Circling US Cities (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    piloted ISR aircraft

    Right. And this makes an altitude of a mile a non issue when trying to spot them, mufflers or not. A Piper Cub at 5000 ft is easy to spot, particularly if it's doing something strange like circling around.

  7. The Iranian centrifuges were air gapped.

    Stuxnet was a one way payload. It only had to get on to the controllers. At Mossack Fonseca, the object was to get data back out.

  8. What the hell is sensitive client data doing on an Internet connected machine?

  9. If there is the slightest sign of pee on the rim

    But that can happen when I'm sitting down. When I'm finished, I reel my dingus back up out of the bowl. Sometimes, I just lay it down on the seat while I'm hoisting my trousers. Leaks happen.

    I think they want people to forget about their engineering and instrumentation origins.

    ... this 'dy' brand laptop. The hinges are on the wrong side.

  12. sit the fuck down

    But this is why women's restrooms have big lines and men's don't. If I can just unzip, flop Mr. Happy out and whiz, it takes a lot less time than dropping trou.

    that's actually a rule in her house

    I wonder how she polices this.

    See one problem is the law says gender AT BIRTH.

    Ever heard of 'born again'? Hallelujah! Praise the lawd!

  14. Solution on PayPal Pulls North Carolina Plan After Transgender Bathroom Law (reuters.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Unisex bathrooms.

    And make them with closed stalls. So nobody will know which way the feet are pointing when they take a leak.

    I think we will need more than three

    You did not list the logical steps leading you to this conclusion.

    Neither did you. So welcome to the club.

    Build a device with a small radioisotope source, detector, poison vial and cat. Calibrate the source to provide a 50% probability of a particle emission for the average passenger rate. Open the box and check the cat. Cat alive: Right lane. Cat dead: Left lane, reset vial, replace the cat and proceed.

  22. Re:Diversity is NOT "strength" on Canadian Startup Uses Trump to Lure Tech Workers (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    a society consisting of people from different countries and races can break apart much too easily along the ethnic and religious lines

    Then your society isn't really diverse. Or you have elements within it that are willing to destroy it by emphasizing differences rather than working together for the good of all. Better to eliminate these trouble-makers than bend to their wishes for a monoculture.

  23. Re:Don't do it on Canadian Startup Uses Trump to Lure Tech Workers (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Why should poor people, who pay little or no taxes, still be able to vote and raise taxes on wealthy people? This is the system we have. We've gotten away from requiring property ownership, pole taxes and such things as a prerequisite to voting.

  24. Oblig Bad Car Analogy on Chrome Extension Caught Hijacking Users' Browsers (softpedia.com) · · Score: 2

    The notion that a product can be sold, have the EULA changed giving the new company the ability to ignore any limitations they don't like, and then have it be "too bad, it's in the license".
