  1. Re:Secure yourself! on Phishers Using Keystroke Loggers · · Score: 2, Funny

    This isn't a problem for me either. The phishers will be scratching their heads when they get back the sniffer log from my computer which only contains thousands of copies of the line 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'.

  2. Re:Um, details? on Liquid Metal CPU Cooling · · Score: 1

    I actually went ahead and read TFA, at least the linked one.

    At least you could. Looks like they need some serious liquid metal cooling for their servers which are on the verge of melting.

  3. Re:Patriot Act on California Wants GPS Tracking Device in Every Car · · Score: 1

    Clearly motivations for this are for future invasion of privacy. It's pretty obvious that to get more revenue, the solution is to raise the price of gas in California -- it can be assumed that if you purchased gas there you are driving there. This would encourage people to purchase hybrids (which I think we can all agree is a good thing) and if the powers that be don't like that they get better gas mileage (i.e. lost revenue), then charge an up-front tax on their sale. As far as alleviating traffic during rush hour, I think being stuck in traffic is enough of a punishment. Try driving the 405 through LA around 5pm.

  4. Re:Nuclear Energy! on Solar-Powered Autonomous Underwater Vehicles · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As a scientist who has used an AUV in the Antarctic, I can assure you we would not want to mess with the bureaucracy/logistics of nuclear power. Some big battery packs and no demands for the vehicle to move fast are all one needs really to collect some very interesting sub-surface data.

  5. Re:Impact trama, or lack thereof. on A Strange Streak Imaged in Australia · · Score: 1

    Ah, yeah, like the photographer would have reported hearing a hella bang, and why didn't he walk over to the pier to look for anything??

  6. Re:Questions on TiVo to Sell Your Fast-Forward Button · · Score: 1

    >What does that do for the Advertisers? Well, they better figure something out

    Oh, they'll figure something out all right, it's called advertising *during* the show. Notice how those TV network bugs are getting more and more animated and pervasive on the screen?

  7. Re:From the site: on IT Literacy Test · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and I'm not overly impressed about a site telling me to be ready to "succeed in today's - and tomorrow's ... technology-rich community", when the site itself is ca 1995. Accountability people!...
