  1. Isn't it fairly obvious that weak cosmic rays not coming from a nearby source must actually be strong cosmic rays if they are coming from a far away source?

    Foe pedophiles that dig babies, it's here!

    You own an iPhone and can't change the keyboard don't you?

    Why would I need to?

    E-Cigarettes With Nicotine Increase Your Risk of Heart Disease

    I'm shocked! SHOCKED I TELL YOU!

    But I'll bet there's a hell of a lot less tar!

  5. Re:Money this, money that... on Computer Science Degrees Aren't Returning On Investment For Coders, Research Finds (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 4, Funny

    It probably IS hard to explain to relatives who have engineering degrees why you're called an "engineer" when you're not an engineer.

  6. who gets paid in pounds lol

    I was going to say Civil Engineers, or maybe Tori Black...

    Anyway, when this gel reaches a certain temperature, the methane that was 'frozen' in it gets released relatively quickly. Methane already is like carbon pollution on steroids, and the scale of this release is literally world-changing, compared to say cow gas releases.

    Solution: Giant methane scrubbers! I see a sci-fi film...

  8. Probably what they mean is XBox-like controllers. Hardened for military use... Let's see, $25,000 apices? That sounds reasonable...

  9. Re:The NDA on OpenJDK May Tackle Java Security Gaps With A Secretive New Group (infoworld.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Java is dead. Let it live in legacy in a dusty MDF somewhere with it's elderly uncle COBOL.

    Is Java "dead"? I'm no expert, but I thought huge giant swaths of "enterprise" code was written in Java? Shit like that doesn't just vanish, it get's maintained and added on to forever - like COBOL code... But also, while it's trendy for all the hip kids to say such things, COBOL is far from dead.

  10. I smell something strangely familiar... on OpenJDK May Tackle Java Security Gaps With A Secretive New Group (infoworld.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The vulnerability group and Oracle's internal security teams would work together

    Two things: I thought Oracle wanted to cut Java free? No? And really, when has Oracle been willing to work with anyone outside Oracle on Java?

    I mean, it could be true...

  11. Don't Tase Me, Bro! on Tasers Implicated In Far More Deaths Than We Previously Thought (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In other news, in the hands of Law Enforcement, tasers produced far fewer deaths than firearms!

    On a more serious note, I am a little disturbed by the occasional video that comes out showing cops tasing someone over-and-over-and-over-and-over-and-over-and-over-and-over-and-over-and-over-and-over, and low and behold, it turns out not to be good for the person being tased.

  12. Soo there really will be voices in my head?

  13. Chrome Adds Warning For Extensions That Take Over Your Proxy Settings...

    Why does Chrome allow extensions that can hijack proxy settings?

  14. In violation of the law? on Getting NASA To Comply With Simple FOIA Requests Is a Nightmare (vice.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    NASA, like many federal agencies, is in violation of the law, Not just the intent of the law, but the law itself. As I posted in a previous "article" here today, where if the EFF?

  15. Yeah, um... I'm going to have to disagree... on Let Consumers Sue Companies (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    That's because many contracts for products like credit cards and bank accounts have mandatory arbitration clauses that prevent consumers from joining group lawsuits, forcing them to go it alone.

    My guess - IANAL - is that if someone had the cash-ola and lawyers *cough* EFF *cough* perhaps they could invalidate these types of arbitration clauses who's sole purpose is to restrict the rights of consumers...

    So, nothing tangible or of any real value whatsoever.

    That's a really asinine statement, and I'm not going to explain why because clearly you are a moron. Please ask someone you know that has had the patience to accept you as a friend even though you lack the ability to understand even the simplest of things about our monetary system, they might - might - be able to explain it to you.
