  1. Re:IANAL on Online Parody Cartoon Targeted For Prosecution · · Score: 2

    I think the videos did just that. I just finish watching and the videos do not mention the name of any city or any person's name the videos could be based anywhere.

  2. Re:So, what does this do that I can't already do? on Google Music Adds Linux, Ogg Vorbis Support · · Score: 1

    yo do not even need to roll your own. Just use Ampache, and host it yourself. There are Android and boxee clients. I no longer use satellite radio since I stream everything to my phone for long drives..

  3. Ampache on The Best Unknown Open Source Projects · · Score: 1

    Ampache, I had my music hosted in the cloud by myself and streaming to my phone before all the big companies were doing it thanks to AMPACHE . My friends have access to it and they help with the rating of music. It keeps my playlist fresh.

  4. Re:Good lord on America's First Pipeline-Fed Hydrogen Fueling Station · · Score: 1
    There are many ways of producing hydrogen, and probably many more ways that we haven't figure out. A lot of times is a byproduct of some other process. Do you remember the blow up in the japanese nuclear reactors? those happen because of hydrogen build up, and I think using nuclear power to produce hydrogen is actually very green. I used to work for Arco(BP) and during the refining process we used to produce way too much hydrogen and we didn't have where to store or no one to sell it to so we would just burn it, and we would do this almost 24/7. And right now most of the hydrogen in the USA is produced by steam reforming of natural gas

    Hydrogen is NOT green - not until they find a "green" way to produce it. It is NOT an energy SOURCE (like fossil fuels, and nuclear), it is an energy CONVEYOR. I wanna save the planet as much as anyone, but as long as fossile fuels are used to generate the hydrogen, it actually makes more sense to just burn the stuff in an internal cumbustion engine. /me waits to get modded down :-/

  5. Re:It's either full body scanning on EPIC Files Lawsuit To Suspend Airport Body Scanner Use · · Score: 1

    or having you genitals felt up. Seriously that's their policy. They think if they subject everybody to public humiliation that people will opt for private humiliation instead.

    Before they get to the ball touching look and sound eager for that moment, and when they get there pretend you're loving it. Close your eyes and imagine a sexy thing in uniform giving you that patdown and try very hard to get a bonner then I bet the TSA agent will be embarrassed and will not want to do it again. And if they get that alot maybe they will request a change in policy

  6. Re:Money buys good quality drugs. on Ozzy Osbourne's Genome Reveals Some Neanderthal Lineage · · Score: 1
    I just said Maybe is just a hypothesis I didn't say it was a fact plus those are the only 2 musicians I could think of that have lived a lifetime of drug abuse.

    So you cite Keith Richards and Ozzy Osborne and just ignore any of the wealthy musicians who have access to high quality drugs who have still managed to kill themselves?

  7. Money buys good quality drugs. on Ozzy Osbourne's Genome Reveals Some Neanderthal Lineage · · Score: 1
    Maybe the higher quality drug don't kill. This guy has monies he was able to buy the good stuff pure and unfornicated coke. I can only imagine someone shooting crappy stuff with bits of trash in it. Another good example is Keith Richards.

    Ozzy, this isn't hard to figure out. You're alive because you're rich. You can afford a comfortable lifestyle as well as medical treatment when you need it.

    Now, please stop fighting with Iommi and make another Black Sabbath album already.

    Maybe she is adjusting one of those horn looking hearing aids from back in the days. like this one

    South Park does it better.

  10. Re:First? on Brazil Using Smartphones For Planning the Future · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Sweden doesn't as many immigrants as the USA or Brazil get legal or illegal that go in and out, plus in Sweden you don't have a big uncrossable jungle where there are still people who have never seen a white man. I used to live in Finland in a swedish speaking island Maarianhamina(lived with finns) and even counting all the people in each archipelago along with their livestock is way easier than counting all the people from the amazon.

    The Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland in this context) have all abolished the manual census counting years ago. In Sweden, the last census survey was made in 1990. Since then, an automatic system has been in place to which you report whenever you move, get married, have kids etc (well, I think the hospital is reporting children). Formally, this has to be made on paper so it is technically not a fully digital system. However, since the introduction of E-ID's a few years back, it has been possible to do this online, beating Brazil with at least 4 years.

  11. Re:Truly on Stand and Deliver Teacher Jaime Escalante Dies · · Score: 1

    What about shortening names. Mexico is technically the United Mexican States, but the name is almost always shortened to Mexico. The US is the only country on either continent with America in it's name. Following the rules of every other country on earth is to drop adjectives or nous like republic or statesand the remaining word is your short name. For almost all these nations the people are given a term that derives from that word.

    Yeah but there is a big different. United Mexican States is specifying that they're Mexican. Now United States of America is only says that part of America the continent.

  12. Re:Ooooh... Intercontinental on Jetman Attempts Intercontinental Flight · · Score: 1

    I do not know about geology much or plate tectonics but the land used to be one continuous mass until somebody decided to split it in Panama. Asia and Europe could be another example, and I think the continents were named and split with imaginary lines way before we knew much about geological and tectonic plates. The Olympic logo represents 5 contains that is why it has 5 rings.

  13. forums. on Best Way To Build A DIY UAV? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    go to the http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/index.php RC forums there is alot of info in what you want to do. and here is the forums you want http://www.rcgroups.com/uav-unmanned-aerial-vehicles-238/ Note that if you live in USA it is illegal to make UAV. Even first person view flying is illegal. But first you need to learn how to make stuff fly before you even attempt to do the UAV stuff.

  14. Re:DVB recordings with dishentwork are awesome. on MythTV 0.20 Released · · Score: 1

    You can do this with your legal subscription. A iso programmer is around 10 bucks. If you buy an unlocker then is expensive but you'll only need one if you want to pirate stuff. But like I said you can do this with just your sub card just to watch the channels you subscribe to. And since you just want to read all you need is an iso 7806 card reader which you can buy in ebay for $5.99 plus $3.99 shipping. just search ISO-7816 in ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-SCM-SCR111-ISO-7816-Smart- Card-Reader-Writer-Serial_W0QQitemZ330027502087QQi hZ014QQcategoryZ51082QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZ ViewItem?hash=item330027502087

    yes you can. YOu need a dvb pci card. It can also work with HD, but the settup will be more expensive since there is no DVB-PCI card that does 8PSK with turbo FEC. But you can record HD from the canadian provider. You can buy a cheap DVB-S pci card. I seen twinhan DVB-s sell for about $50usd. But if you want to get HD from dishnetwork that will cost alot around $300. You'll need to buy one of those http://www.genpix-electronics.com/index.php?act=vi ewProd&productId=2 You can find all the info you need at http://dvbn.happysat.org/viewforum.php?f=17

    I been loving it since.19. I have a DVB pci card a dishnetwork smartcard, and I can record digitaly with all and AC3 sound. I wish I could do that with directv, but linux does not have DSS support. There are DSS tuners, but they just work with windows. Other than that mythtv is awesome.
