  1. Re:Grammar on Your Old CD Collection Is Dying · · Score: 1

    Rust (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RUST_(band)) most probably will rust over time.

  2. Any UI with menus or more than two buttons ... on Google Testing Gmail Redesign · · Score: 1

    ... must be dumbed down so that even a 3 year old or a top manager can use it!

  3. Do you see the problem with this? on Supreme Court OKs Stop and Search Based On Anonymous 911 Tips · · Score: 2

    This way they can just call themselves anonymously and then search any car/house they like without violating any law.

  4. Scientific? Sure! on UN Court: Japanese Whaling "Not Scientific" · · Score: 1

    They're trying to find out how many whales you can kill in one day, and as everybody knows you need many samples for a meaningful statistical result!

  5. PR stunt on Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Yahoo Form Alliance Against NSA · · Score: 4, Informative

    They will encrypt all their traffic and hard drives but leave open the surveillance API on their running servers to access the data. Or they will share the encryption keys. "All data will be encrypted to protect customers" is nothing more but a PR stunt!

  6. Re:Siri doesn't have free will on Physicist Unveils a 'Turing Test' For Free Will · · Score: 1

    ... but any sufficiently advanced Siri technology is indistinguishable from having free will.

  7. Re:proper answer on Last Operating ICT 1301 Mainframe Computer Set To Run Again · · Score: 1

    Clearly the answer must be "most women from North America" ;)

  8. cure the source, not the symptoms on Guardian Ignores MI5 Warnings, Vows To 'Publish More Snowden Leaks' · · Score: 2

    Instead of mass surveillance of *all* means of communication (terrorists could use any form of communication, wow -- we have to monitor everything!) maybe it would be a much better *and cheaper* idea to ask why there is terrorism and how to combat the source of it. Really, those people have some reason why they do it, even if those reasons are hard to understand from out perspective. I guess for them everything makes perfect sense ...

  9. ornithologists on PCBs Cause Birds To Sing a Different Tune · · Score: 1

    > songs varied predictably based on their PCB load
    which opens up a whole new method of measuring PCB contamination -- just listen to birds. This way a whole lot of unemployed ornithologists may get a job.

  10. Re:Inuit also used iron meteorites on Ancient Egyptians Made Iron Jewelry From Pieces of Meteorite, Archaeologists Say · · Score: 1

    "the Woman, weighing 3 metric tons" Clearly a woman from North America!!!

  11. Re:I tried on Turning a Kindle Fire HD Into a Power Tablet · · Score: 1

    More important: Does it blend?
