  1. Re:Law Enforcement Ahoy.... on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 0

    I am from Delaware. I have come across people who are completely unaware of its existence. (Dela-WHERE?)

  2. First Post! on U.S. Blogger Breaches Canadian Publication Ban · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    First Post!

  3. I'm no expert... on A Savant Explains His Abilities · · Score: 1

    ...but it looks like his language "Manti" has the same exact structure as Finish.

  4. NOOOOOOOO!!! on Linux-Based Cat Feeder · · Score: 1

    /.ed!

  5. Tests are high-pressure? on Smart People Choke Under Pressure · · Score: 1

    Since when do tests bring high pressure? I can sit through an SAT easily and complete it. On the other hand, if I MUST get something finished in a hour or I'll fail then I get really nervous and can't work at all.

  6. My idea... on National PC Recycling Plan Proposed, Again · · Score: 1

    My idea of computer recycling is salvaging the old parts...

  7. Tim Berners-Lee didn't "invent" the internet on Sir Tim Berners-Lee Named Greatest Briton · · Score: 1

    Tim Berners-Lee didn't invent the internet, he invented HTML.

  8. He better be compensated on Man Reportedly Jailed for Using Lynx · · Score: 1

    I hope they compensate him for his bail and jail time. If something like that happened to me I'd sue the police and courts. He did nothing illegal yet he has to pay money for bail and he has to go through the process of the courts. On top of that who knows what else will happen to him.

  9. I hope the size doesn't change.. on Will Mac mini Lead the Charge to Smaller Desktops? · · Score: 1

    I hope the size doesn't change... with big cases one can add more extra hardware.

  10. Lucky Bastards on 8Mbit Broadband to Become Available in the UK · · Score: 1

    ... is all I can say.

  11. Re:but... on Build Your Own Rotary-Dial Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    I have never actually done my own serious phreaking, but I assume it is easier to do on a rotary phone? Correct?

  12. Ogg on Sony Admits MP3 Error · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't see why people haven't adopted the OGG format yet: it has better compression and it's open source. Or maybe it's open sourceness is the problem...

  13. About Reproduction on Do You Want to Live Forever? · · Score: 1

    I don't think we have to worry about becoming non-functional after a certain age. Some one somewhere would have human (male and female) DNA backed up in a lab somewhere where we could recreate ourselves artificially. We'll just have to hope there are thousands of individuals DNA to choose from, or else we will all become a bunch of clones eventually.

  14. Re:Great, will my artificial cap be lifted now? on Comcast Raises Bandwidth in Shot at DSL · · Score: 1

    Are you sure you only can access 30kbps and not 30KB? 128kbps IS 30KB.

  15. Critical Thinking? on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    "The textbook stickers are a reasonable and evenhanded guide to science instruction and encouraging students to be critical thinkers," the board said. :D

  16. When I was young... on Leapfrog Talking Pen · · Score: 1

    I learned to read with phonics flash cards. I have been reading effortlessly since I was 5 or 6. Who needs Leap Frog...

  17. Funny on Google Exposes Web Surveillance Cams · · Score: 1

    The article says, "Video surfers are using this knowledge to peek in on office and restaurant interiors, a Japanese barnyard, women doing laundry, the interior of an Internet collocation facility, and a cage full of rodents, among other things, in locales scattered around the world." Funny thing is, I have seen all of those, like the article is talking about the same ones I was spying on. But I couldn't find one of a women's dressing room. :(

  18. Nothing new on Google Exposes Web Surveillance Cams · · Score: 1

    This is nothing new... I have known about it for months. I wonder why it was only mentioned in blogs the past week or so? Anyway, here's the link: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=inur l%3A%22ViewerFrame%3FMode%3D%22&btnG=Google%20Sear ch

  19. Re:WJR 760 on Wired Interviews Bram Cohen, Creator of BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Many geeks have this, myself included. Steven Spielberg, I suspect Bill Gates has it, and Albert Einstein had it.

  20. Internet on Why Microsoft Should Fear Bandwidth · · Score: 3, Insightful

    IF this happens it would probably sound the death knell of p2p. When all computers, applications, and files are running/located from the ISP's computer, the ISP would be free to delete copyrighted material, block ports, delete p2p applications, etc. The ISP could also do whatever else it wanted. It could remove/censor offensive websites. It could set up filters... All kinds of things. The internet wouldn't be free anymore. There would be no more reason to use it...

  21. Re:Arrrrrgggg! on Life Interrupted · · Score: 1

    I have a very good real-life attention span; I could sit in a chair and listen to a lecture for hours on end. On the other hand, when I get on the internet, I find I only read a few paragraphs of an article and then switch to another tab and read something else.

  22. Re:Availability? on Illinois Gov. Seeks Violent Video Game Ban · · Score: 1

    "Breaking of this law would be punishable by up to one year in prison or a $5,000 fine." Holy shit... Give your kid a game, end up in jail for a year.

  23. PWN3D on The Underground History of American Education · · Score: 1

    Homeschooling!

  24. JibJab on Parody or Satire? Threat To Sue JibJab · · Score: 1

    Woody Guthrie said in his will that he didn't want his song used for political purposes.

  25. Email on Appeals Circuit Ruling: ISPs Can Read E-Mail · · Score: 1

    Simple, just use your own (or alternative) email provider.
