  1. Password on NSA Considers Its Networks Compromised · · Score: 1

    So, are you saying I should change the password on my router?

  2. As of yet... on WikiLeaks Defenders Threaten Amazon · · Score: 1

    As of yet, I have not found where Anonymous has posted ALL their private and public communications.

    Maybe they've posted it on WikiLeaks and that's the reason they're trying so hard to restore availability.

    I mean, if Anonymous is requiring complete transparency of the U.S. government, they've lead by example by becoming completely transparent themselves...right?

  3. Re:Po-TAY-to vs. Po-TAH-to on GM Criticized Over Chevy Volt's Hybrid Similarities · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I find your obvious defense of false advertising and dishonesty as ludicrous. You should be modded -1 troll.

  4. Overwhelm on College Student Finds GPS On Car, FBI Retrieves It · · Score: 2, Funny

    Let's all call the FBI and ask if this thingamadgig or that thingamabob on our autos is the FBI's device.

  5. Green Dream on Scott Adams On the Difficulty of Building a 'Green' Home · · Score: 1

    A staff photographer at Popular Science is building a green home. http://www.popsci.com/category/tags/green-dream

  6. How about the Ruble? on India's New Rupee Symbol Won't Show On Computers · · Score: 1

    Don't go changing it yet. The Russians may want something too similar to it like a capitol R with two lines through the top. But, since the Russians and the Indians are close allies the Russians may let them have it.

  7. Re:Duke Nukem Forever on Doubled Yield For Bio-Fuel From Waste · · Score: 1

    No problem was ever solved until it actually was.

  8. Re:I .. on This Is Apple's Next iPhone · · Score: 1

    Does it blend?

  9. New FCC Building Sticker on FCC Lets Radar Company See Through Walls · · Score: 1

    This structure complies with part ## of the FCC Rules. Occupancy is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This structure may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this structure must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. BTW, Popular Science did a review on a new wallpaper that was comprised of Kevlar strands to help withstand explosions and such. They tested a brick wall with this stuff on one side and hit it on the other with a wrecking ball. The wall survived. Now if they can just add copper strands to the weave so that it can be a Faraday cage as well.

  10. IronKey on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    I'm currently using an IronKey with it's built in password manager. It's a USB key with an encryption chip built in with the memory chip, epoxied together and encased in stainless steel.

  11. Re:hybrid nitrous oxide and rubber rocket engine-W on White Knight Two Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Actually, radtea is wrong and Anonymous Coward is correct.

    "In our hybrid motor we use Nitrous Oxide (N2O or laughing gas) as an oxidizer and hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB or rubber) as the fuel."

  12. Banning the Leakers on P2P Network Exposes Obama's Safehouse Location · · Score: 1

    How much sensitive information was leaked via POTS, Cellular and the USPS? Should those be banned/content-regulated too? I don't see Congress going after these carriers/entities.

  13. Been done on Wearable Computer With Lightweight HUD · · Score: 2, Informative

    Xybernaut did this back in the 90s with a monocle hud, voice recognition, and a wearable cpu. It was underpowered, but saw some demand in the manufacturing and maintenance fields. I always thought it was a good idea and hoped it would go mainstream. Sony even threatened to make a 'ComputeMan' with the tech. I would have to agree that there's not enough demand and or it's too geeky.

  14. Hardware Software Partners - Bad on Google Reveals Chrome Hardware Partners · · Score: 1

    Hardware partners smacks too much of our (US) current cell phone situation. If you want the coolest hardware you have to go with this carrier. If you want the best service you have to go with substandard phones on another carrier.

  15. Impressive. Most impressive. on Ubuntu 9.04 Is As Slick As Win7, Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    ...without the $6,000,000,000.00 that Microsoft spends on R&D annually.
