  1. My idea... on DARPA Proposes Ripping Up Dead Satellites To Make New Ones · · Score: 1

    I had a similar idea way back when they announced they were retiring the shuttle....so I mentioned maybe letting it do one last up, but not a down, and leave it in space for parts that could be used for future projects needing materials etc.... but was found by most to be idiotic with this type of thinking, yet here we are many years later with a similar idea about satellites...which to me makes perfect sense....however I will say what someone else told me....

    The satellites are old technology and probably do not contain anything worth salvaging, ....but my true feelings are that any type of material can be useful for fixing stuff, not just creating stuff....so why not???

    A hunter bleeding is always less important then a healer bleeding, and if a healer is bleeding, everyone will be dead within minutes. ...and yes i did mean tanking cap....my bloody massive tauren fingers could not really type properly on this keyboard,

  5. Lack of thought on EU Debates Installing a Black Box On Your Computer · · Score: 1

    Again, the ranting and ravings of someone clueless to the internet, yet in power deciding what we should and should not do with the internet.
    Any pedophile in today's age knows how to encrypt data...and these are the real culprits,
    the ones that upload mega jumbo collection of files to be distributed on the net.....
    the ones that will never be decrypted because they know what they are doing....

    this will only catch the stupid low end ones which do not care or know about encryption,
    and mostly small time compared to what this bill is proposing the needs are for.

  6. Re:30 is the new 20 on What Happens When the Average Lifespan is 150 Years? · · Score: 1

    So you would think, but that is just your 12 year old mind thinking that, if you were 42 (the new 32), you would see this much clearer in today's youth....

    "By the age of 22, Alexander the great had amassed an army big enough to conquer all of Mesopotamia, what have YOU done lately?"

  7. 30 is the new 20 on What Happens When the Average Lifespan is 150 Years? · · Score: 1

    They say 40 is the new 30 and 30 is the new 20....so keeping that in mind, I guess that it all depends on how much growing up you do....oxidation is a problem leading to old age, the less you have the longer you live....as well as many other factors...but that is the pure basics of it. If you let people get stronger over generations, they will live longer, and therefor you need to adjust society accordingly, you can not still live in a world where people expect to retire on pensions by 65, if they can live till 150,....I would only retire if i felt i was draining the economy, stay out of the way, but at 65, you can still work as a cashier in a store, or push a broom, why not work till your 85 if you are physically able to? That is an old world mentality....not a current one.

  12. So when do we get to buy one? on 175 MPH Student-Built EV Smashes Speed Record · · Score: 1

    We always see these developing stories about tech that is now coming out into the light, but we never see the tech actually make it to the market.
    I am still waiting to see the solar cell paint that you can spray on the side of buildings to turn them all into major electrical generators, yet I have not seen anyone come out with that, let alone see whole cities turn into big generators because of it.

  13. Hell Yeah! on Is Off-Shoring a National Security Threat? · · Score: 1

    Hell Yeah!
    When you go over seas, there are no rules like ours when it comes to copyright infringement....so when the Indian or Chinese support markets get a hold of sensitive company data, they can easily call the competition up and offer them this info, to make extra profits.. There is no world police when it comes to these things...
    If you are here and notice that your info is now in someone else's hands, you have to travel over there to then go through THEIR court system, with very little hope of getting retribution , instead you get a lot of lawyer fees just to find out there was never any hope in the first place.

    This is evident in many fields not just IT. The problem is accountability, their courts do not follow our rules, so why would we think we are safe giving away our source code to maintain, by some supposedly proper development companies who could be also trading secrets or even letting the government in on what they find....aka China....

    Anyone going over seas, deserves what they get. If you have legitimate reason to be using external help, you bring them into your country, not go over there.
    This way the courst can follow the laws of YOUR land, and prosecute based on those rules, should they need.

  15. Re:"These observations should dispel..." on Canadian Ice Shelves Halve In Six Years · · Score: 1

    I do not agree though, if it has been there for the last 5000 years, as before that , no one was really tracking those types of information so we assume it was the same even before that, and that now it is not there, that tends to lend the greater possibility that something has changed recently that is not normal, however,
    if we look at the fact that a pattern could exist that extends longer then 5000 years and repeats itself every 6000 years, then we have some sort of pattern
    that could now be in its vertex.

  16. Couldnt help it, sorry on How Adobe Flash Lost Its Way · · Score: 2

    Adobe lost its way when it decided to do stuff other then photoshop.

    Adobe lost its way when they took a great new file format (pdf) and tried to add
    so much more execution (javascript for one) inside, when all it needed to be was
    a copyright protected document with no way to normally alter it.....

    Adobe lost its way when ti came out with flash.

    Adobe lost its way when they tried to deny their apps were faulty, and that
    it was normal to find a 10 zero day exploits a week in your product.

    Great comment, what the people fail to realize is that with all these extremely well formed haxors out there, these type of vulnerabilities out there, give them an easier time to do what they need to do....if we take that away from them, they have to find other options...the least the better.

  18. I agree 100 percentile on Outlining a World Where Software Makers Are Liable For Flaws · · Score: 1

    So when you hold vendors accountable for software...you make them liable, where they can be taken to court over things like encryption that does not work, etc.
    MS brought out the "push out a faulty product and offer patches later" business model to where we stand today.
    Everyone jumped on that same band wagon, except the airlines, and car makers etc....

    If an airplane crashed every second day, because of a blue screen of death on the cockpit dashboard....we would all stop flying...
    so is it any wonder that people are going back to paper if every second day, their computers crash???

    At the other end of the spectrum, you have the users that are so cheap, that they use illegal copies of windows without any patches, as they are not
    serviced because they are illegal....so you have all these bad pcs that are part of some botnet spamming lots of emails...
    and crashing because of all the viruses..... and yet people expect that it should work no problem.

    I have a windows xp, that is not legit, running in a vm environment with no AV and guess what, ....for since longer then i can remember, have never had
    viruses, and even if i dont, i change the image back to its original form at the start of every month......
    now ask me if this is truly a way to live....not really....

    I have a legit windows xp that is 100% patched, that has no AV, yet has run ok for many years now...

    It is possible to make what we have work, but we should definitely push the vendors to be more accountable for security...especially when mom and pop use their pc to do their online banking and get their info stolen...

  19. but does it? on Teach Your Router New Tricks With DD-WRT · · Score: 1

    But does it allow say a wifi router to go from being a wifi g and b to to a wifi n as well?
    If it does, then I would pay for that for sure, instead of buying new stuff, just reuse the old one with the firmware update and voila no more junk in the garbage dumps that could be recycled, so to speak.

  20. Great stuff dudes! on Microsoft Disables Kelihos Botnet · · Score: 1

    Finally MS is climbing up in my books, from the "do absolutely everything evil" to "do almost no evil"...they are going a long way....if they could just offer everyone free windows xp patched even if illegal copies...and allow everyone to just get the most secure and up to date xp running possible, this would also go a long way to make sure that the net is super secure.

    They say they think it is what is making them act this way, how about a confirmation, as maybe there might be some toxic gases or such, that might be affecting wildlife, and just assuming things are one thing instead of having proof, is what they should be going on.

  24. As usual... on HP Spent Over $80M To Get Rid of Its CEOs · · Score: 2

    This problem will always be there if non eof the CEOs are held accountable for their bad decisions, some make them on purpose, as insider information makes dipping stock prices easy for another company paying a hidden fee to buy into another one. Yes it is punishable should it come to light, but hell, none of these things ever come to light except when someone happens to stumble upon something and raise a flag to the right people.

    I hate to say this, but if we started keeping tabs on the actual work that CEOs did in terms of good work vs. shody work and say have it in the clause that should there be any badly managed portions of their work, they could be held accountable to pay a fee, of which could be based on the amount of the screw up.

  25. LAMEBRAINS on Irish Man's Death Ruled Spontaneous Combustion · · Score: 1

    With the amount of possibilities, the fact that they would prefer not invest more time to really figure this out, and would rather just hash it up to spontaneous combustion, is pretty lame. I know 3 ways where you can burn the inside of a body outwards, and of which leaves no marks, but requires that the person have been close to alcohol, strong enough to combust near a flame. Once you have this, you need a catalyst and voila...

    I will not say how, as these would leave me to feel responsible should any individuals use these techniques, but they do exist.
