  1. Re:Christmas is coming early this year on TSA Prohibits Taking Discharged Electronic Devices Onto Planes · · Score: 1

    That's a fun argument. I often travel with a external hard drive in my laptop bag, there's lots of space in it for c4, and is security going to ask me to power it up? Ok, take MBP out, plug it in, plug drive in, it works, and we still haven't proved anything. If there's even a few people have to do this, the queue will grow, flights will get missed, baggage will have to be removed for those missing flights, flights will get delayed. All for something that's never happened? At some point, you have to accept that you're reacting to symptoms rather than causes.

    Hmmm, Hey Googlecar, just drive around for 20min while we have some fun on the backseat.

    If you know you're being tested, that could invalidate the results. Sure that's cold, but it's also reality.

  9. Can they keep on using the name then? on Washington Redskins Stripped of Trademarks · · Score: 1

    It's for sure the trademarks office isn't going to issue it to any other, so there's no danger of trademark dilution.

    I'd say 'fido' - but that's going to get mis-interpreted.

  15. Re:Instead of a new TV I guess on Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer Buys the LA Clippers For $2 Billion · · Score: 1

    Not worst, or even close. Think on it, Microsoft still exists, still makes a profit, did not go to US taxpayers for a bailout. We may mock him unmercifully, (and deservedly) for the products MS make, but that's another thing.

    Hey wait, GOTO isn't safe.

  17. Re:Read his books on Author Charles Stross: Is Amazon a Malignant Monopoly, Or Just Plain Evil? · · Score: 1

    Equally, there's a special place for authors who consider their books don't need editing. Perhaps there's a handful that can get away with it, but not many.

    Some of them are posted to stop, then proceed to turn left if there's no cars on your right. (invert if you drive on the wrong side of the road)

  25. Why should cyclists be any different? *I* roll past stop signs too.
