  1. Re:Wrong power on DIY Laser Pistol Shoot 1MW Blasts · · Score: 1

    Making the laser is fairly easy, but the measuring equipment to check the power would be expensive.

    But it'd give you awful Split Enz.

  3. Re:Tales of old. on Stopping the Horror of 'Reply All' · · Score: 1

    if you find yourself talking to a team regularly, set up some email groups. It's a way around the reply all, and lf I add one person to a reply that you *don't* want the reply from you to go to, you just got bitten.

  5. Re: Not enough on Hands On With Apple IPad 2 · · Score: 1

    iPad 3.5 will probably come with Palladium 3.5, where even sites like Youtube will be charged for streaming to iDevice users.

    It'll be a catalyst for this happening.

  8. Re:people still fax even in 2011 on New Hampshire Man Sentenced To 7 Years For Robo-Calling Malware · · Score: 1

    Not exactly infect, but a moebius loop of paper ties one up for a while.

    Also, some faxes are PC based. Or have some OS that you could infect.

  9. Re:peopel still fax even in 2011 so some modems in on New Hampshire Man Sentenced To 7 Years For Robo-Calling Malware · · Score: 1

    It's not necessarily 2 steps. There could be 'find the fax machine' ; 'wait for the person sending a 50 page tender response in front of you' ... OTOH, I went through the scanning process the other day. Discovered that I'd upgraded to a 64bit OS, and the scanner manufacturer didn't have a 64bit driver (thank you, Canon) - went googling, and found a 3rd party driver that did support that scanner, bought it, then went through your steps 1-7. I'm not looking forward to repeating the process for OSX.

  10. Re:They've got a point on WB To Appeal Australia's Effective Ban on Mortal Kombat · · Score: 1

    It isn't an effective ban. Individuals are able to import it.

  11. Re:Careful what you wish for on Contents of Leaked HBGary Emails Reveal Wrongdoing · · Score: 1

    I just read that as a lower-case d democratic push, not an upper-case d Democratic push (by the party) But that's a perspective from outside the USA...

    And it has extremely limited jurisdiction.

  13. Re:google can figure it out! on Why Google Wants Your Kid's SSN · · Score: 1

    Yes, it was just a reaction against TOS asserting that you *must* be 13. (usually TOS are prissily accurate about spelling out the exact detail)

    I can visualise some kids parents that might be shocked that they've lost their say at 13, but yes, you're right, in a way. (thinks about things that I did at 13)

  14. Re:That agrees with my figures on Windows Browser Ballot: the Winners and the Losers · · Score: 1

  15. Re:Clue bat achievement unlocked on UK Gov't Says Open Standards Must Be Royalty Free · · Score: 1

    Kind of ironic Microsoft doing "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" to their own standard.

  16. Re:google can figure it out! on Why Google Wants Your Kid's SSN · · Score: 1

    what about people older and younger than that? It forces them to be 13?
    Why 13, anyway? There's nowhere that 13 is age of consent. Or age of being able to vote, drink, leave home.

    If you'd got a NexusOne, it would have been auto-deployed months ago. Relying on ISP/Carriers to do this is bound to end in tears.

    If they expect you to pay it, then you're entitled to see it.

  25. Re:Life Jackets on Automatic Life Jacket Detection For Drones · · Score: 1

    The average life jacket doesn't include a good immersion suit. Particularly the ones that they demo every time you take off in an aircraft. (disregarding the other perils of being in an aircraft that just landed in an unexpected place/attitude.)
