  1. Awesome on Sony Compromised, Again · · Score: 1

    Great for Anonymous...awesome for Sony, maybe now they will listen a little more when we say, "Hey , stop being such dushbags!"

  2. Sad but true on School Super Asks Governor To Make His School District a Prison · · Score: 1

    How bad does the school system have to be for a school super to ask for his school to be made into a prison to get his kids more substance.
    All in all, if inmates enjoy more reading materials, better quality food, better quality security, etc...etc.... I guess it goes to show you how badly set up our government is. The fact is, if the budget allows for inmates to get more for being incarcerated, then the student does for going to school in the US, there is a gross negligence on the governments part for keeping their eye on the ball. The government will know exactly how much you make and how much you owe in taxes over the course of your life, and be able to pinpoint exactly at what time or line in your tax return you made a small 30$ error, which they will charge you interest for, but
    ask them to come up with a better system where inmates DONT get more then students....and they will just ignore you and leave you thinking they are just inept at what they do. .....sad, really sad.

  3. I got a call... on 30+ Infected Apps Pulled From Android Market · · Score: 1

    I know its off topic slightly but i got a call from a number ....or even text messages with a link to call this number...
    on my iphone, i imagine they are making some malware for iphones too, or is that just wishful thinking on the part of parties involved calling me
    to get me to click on a link...anyone know or have useful links on the iphone for this too???
    greatly appreciated

  4. So you know where this is going... on In Censorship Move, Iran Plans Its Own Internet · · Score: 1

    I guess each country will have their own internet ...which will have most of what is wanted by the people's search minus "tainted" information.
    Each country will then think to offer another countries internet stuff, by charging more....just another way the big pig companies to make their money

  5. Great news for little towns... on Facebook May Make Tiny Town a Data Center Mecca · · Score: 1

    Replace the car industry with the IT industry with these data centers and we are talking awesomeness!
    It is amazing for these people to now be able to draw some more economic help from the big companies!

  6. If not that real then all ok, no? on Nintendo Pulls Dead Or Alive Over Porn Fears In EU · · Score: 1

    If the developers of the game had made them wear regular panties under their skirts, that way even if you did tilt the camera to see under them, you would only see underwear, which you can see in any walmart catalogue where they are modeling them for their customers, then all is ok. No real issue here, my guess though is that the devlopers did NOT make them wear underwear, and left this as an easter egg for those hardcore fans of games like GTA which would allow you to get bonus material once you entered a code, or in this case, once you truly knew how to use camera mode

  7. cool beans on "Space Archeology" Uncovers Lost Pyramids · · Score: 1

    Awesome to hear that there might be even more treasure from our past which could bring us one step closer to really knowing where we all came from....

  8. Apple should.... on Apple's iOS 4 Hardware Encryption Cracked · · Score: 1

    Apple should just offer the means to view in regular format your stuff on your iphone in order to do easy backups....drag and drop from your device into a windows folder in order to have more control over the file system. Heck, the only reason why i would consider this tool, is to make sure my backups are properly made, that itunes has to be the worst piece of crap software i have ever used.....this whole thing with trying to manage your allowed devices vs. trying to limit who will replicate the data (if at all)....is really a pain in the backside. I get it for mp3s, but why cant i just be able to see my notes or my documents that are NOT mp3s in order to just drag and drop which i want to copy over, they are my notes after all......

    Unless someone has a better system with their backups for their iphone that i am not aware of which they could share with me,
    i guess i will be one of their first client in north amercia for their new tool....

    Black box means YOU directly have no access to it, therefor could not tamper with the data...that is the definition of blackbox

  10. Prediction comes true for me on Mandatory Automotive Black Boxes May Be On the Way · · Score: 2

    I predicted that most INSURANCE companies should or would have these to help get a better understanding of their customers driving habits 15 years ago, as I worked for an insurance company where i pitched my idea to the president. He looked at me with a puzzled look on his face as i began to explain that we could offer better rates to our clients with the gps driven blackboxes telling us all driving info such as on 50km streets, our client was seen attaining speeds of 70 km, so for prevention reasons would tell us we should consider giving him higher rates as he is taking risks, where as the younger yet safer driver who always stays within the speeding limits, would not get high rates as per usual with younger drivers, because we would see his driving habits much quicker, so we could offer him better rates quicker....but it fell on deaf ears....

    15 years later, we now see this story here where the government ( good move!) might make it obligatory to have these installed, which I agree for same reasons as 9/11, a vehicle can be used as a means of heavy destruction, so why not log all data on each....

  11. Make some money on Google Abandons Plan To Archive World's Newspapers · · Score: 1

    If they wanted to, they could keep all the archived materials, and eventually offer them back to the source of the articles, for a price, thereby avoiding let's say the new york times from having to go through all the already scanned documents on their own time as google has already done so. This could provide google with extra revenue back from all the invested man hours for this failure, but also allow them to save some companies money where they would want to be part of this new technology for digitizing their columns, but without all the hassle.

  12. Re:It's like one of those super guitars on Do Developers Really Need a Second Monitor? · · Score: 1

    Not quite the same seeing as you can never truly play both heads at the same time, unless just picking with your fingers....but multiple screens can get used at the same time, as your workspace does encompass both, if not more...

  13. R U KIdding me!!! on Do Developers Really Need a Second Monitor? · · Score: 1

    Why is this even a story, havent you learned anything from watching swordfish???
    Seriously though, I find that my work time improves dramatically the more screens i have, as it avoids me wasting too much time swinging from one app to another,
    where as i can leave my prog stuff open on 1, my dev stuff on another, and my reading and email on a third.
    I could not function lower then 2,, and 3 is best...but that's just me.

  17. BS if anytime you wanna hear it on BSA 2010 Piracy Report: $58.8 Billion · · Score: 1

    This is complete BS to me.
    How they calculate it does not take into consideration that anything pirated does not apply to the intended demographics....so no...just because i downloaded the Notebook for my GF to watch, does it mean I would actually have bought it if there was no piracy happening. In the end, the way they do the books (such as a story posted here in the past about Harry Potter 6) being a total bankruptcy, because they played with the books, should have given the courts a clue as to how they manipulate the data in their favor. If after all this we still think to look at their "numbers" as being legit, we are seriously mental.

  19. So what? on Translator Puts Us Closer To Dolphin Communication · · Score: 1

    Ok, so now what, you can hear what the dolphin is saying to his friends, and then you interupt to say what you have to say, the dolphin stops and listens, then he responds, ....etc....
    In the end, did we establish anything other then ..."I just wanted to see if it could be done"?
    Seriously, even if they are intelligent to some level, and we can communicate with them, are we going to set up trading, or even get them jobs underwater doing dolphin things that humans need done???

    I want to know if we can set up a real live translator for any language in the world, so that as you speak we can hear it in our preferred language, this would remove our limitations when traveling abroad.

    Just like a nuke bomb but maybe a trillion trillion times more powerful, I wonder if ripping a star apart like that is something that gives enough energy to do something incredible with, such as in this case close a black hole...or in some other cases cause rifts in space ...of course this is just theory as no one can know for sure, but when something like this happens, and is recorded, I hope we have the intellect to think that the aftermath is also just as important, to see what else gets affected, from the cause and effect factor....although I still wonder if the black hole is at all affected, or just keeps sucking...
