That would never work... Us mods assume the commenters read something (TFA? summary? other comments?) and we just pick the ones that might have something to do with something based on some criteria...
But if the mods had to read TFA as you propose, then why should commenters have to read TFA as well?
Funny, but this is a serious credibility whack as their products are considered top notch for business. They'll find out when they interfere with business being done, it's a long fall down...
Somehow I think someone in management is busy whacking the undo button as furiously as possible as the media exposure rises.
I've always wondered about the sanity of fully screening flight crews after an episode I witnessed a few months after 9/11...
A few flight attendants cut in line in front of me just before the x-ray machines at the terminal security (which they are entitled to do, no complaints if they're cute) and the last one through set off the metal detector and had to be wanded. She asked the TSA guy "uhhh, what exactly are you looking for, anyway?"
He replied, "anything you may have on your person that you could use to attempt to gain access to the cockpit." That seemed like a logical and fairly intelligent response from someone moments away from digging through my skivvies on my carry-on to find the suspicious USB cable.
That is, until she pulled the key that was on a laniard around her neck into the open, and remarked, "Oh, you mean something like THIS?"
Ok, color me surprised then... Thank you for the clarification.
I think I'll step out and talk a walk to muse about why companies writing mission-specific utilities throw in the kitchen sink-type bloat and wonder why they couldn't see their ship coming in over the Sea of Vulnerabilites...
1. Disable javascript and kill the web
2. Uninstall Adobe_who_evidently_can't_code_their_way_out_of_a_wet_paper_bag crap
Why would I choose the former? Even if I do that I'm sure they'll have another exploit by next Wednesday that wouldn't be defanged by disabling a scripting language, looking at their track record..
Color me tired of this much more so than surprised..
2. They mix 568A and 568B - usually wiring A in the wall, and using premade B patch cables. Instant crosstalk. OK on very short runs, but anything longer than 80' to 100' will become problematic with many NICs.
What's this? Electrons can tell the color of the pair they are running over (and discuss this amongst themselves)? Or you confusing one of the TIA/EIA 568 standards with USOC?
Sorry for OT, but that didn't happen to be in Southern Illinois, did it? Otherwise there might be a number of ex-bikers founding ISPs... Not that there's anything wrong with that...
"Captain Picard: You will travel 1975 lightyears from earth. You will then direct your long-range telescope towards Earth and record the events of Christ's crucifixion.* Next you will do the same for Vulcan and record the Peace of Surak. Good luck." I'm surprised no Trek writer ever thought of this. Picard and his colleagues don't have to muck-about digging up old bones or shards of pottery. They can just capture an image at a sufficient distance and SEE what happened.
Due to limitations in time tech, we cannot record data from anything previous to 1970...
In skimming TFA I didn't see anything about the kid's patent.
This was my first thought as well... $25K and a bit of recognition through an award seems like a beautiful business model for a patent-holding company to use:
1. Pay off a winning idea with pocket change and a pat on the back
2. ??? Who cares what happens to the kid ???
3. Patent it - profit!!
What happens to all of the other non-winning entries? Do they become property of whomever as well?
I'd really like to see some clarification from the IP-side as much as I hate that term...
Actually, you can back that up by some twisted fantasy about Verner's Della Lu, a Human from an era where immortality exists. She's 9000 years old and her face is morphic.

Actually you can back that up saying you wanted to have a fantasy about Della Lu, a human from an era where immortality exists. She's 9000 years old and her face is morphic.
Anon, after all these years, you've finally slipped up and unmasked yourself! Now I'll finally be able to sleep at night...
You've obviously never lost a company laptop... They definitely care and can show it by giving you an "off the shelf replacement" which turns out to actually be a Kaypro luggable;)
I've observed a similar thing with replacement Blackberrys...
You skipped over the part about "Triggers the release of dopamine. Can increase concentration and creative output." I note that this description comes BEFORE the downside.
I agree... there's definitely a <strong> message there...
I've bought a bunch of cables from them when I was remodelling my basement for in-wall use (actually turning into an everlasting project... but...).
This was directly after I had to return some 30' HDMI cables I got from monoprice for not working at 1080p from my xbox360. This put me in a crunch to get new ones since the drywall was about to go in.
I found Blue Jeans Cable referenced on AVS Forum (you will can weeks digging through A/V topics there) and saw their location was just up the street from where I work. They said I could pick it up in person and waived the shipping charges within a day!
The cables are of excellent quality regardless of the price - which happens to be very affordable. I was most concerned about the HDMI cables at that length, but their website said it should work - and they did with flying colors, so to speak. I got their top of the line for the 1080p and the cheaper Tartan for DirecTV stuff (top res is 1080i), but it turns out I had no issue with their Tartan cable at 1080p either.
I was impressed with their operation.
Sorry for sounding like a marketing cheerleader, but I'm pulling for them, especially after the entertaining read. These are good guys, selling great product at excellent prices. They have earned my future business and do not deserve to be on the litigation receiving end of unethical competitors.
If you have a child under the age of 18 click the link for you (or while you are away), is that still illegal?
Or rather without identifying the actual individual clicking the link, this seems like a fishing expedition without any reasonable restraint placed on the search (i.e. if the search warrant is for an elephant, the authorities have no cause to search through your underwear drawer or safe... Not that *I* would hide anything there...).
It seems this would cause quite an impact on a home-run business as well (such that I have in my spare time), when a third-party could have pasted the same link elsewhere without the identifying marks such as "CLIX HEAR 4 1LLEGUL PR0N!@#", such as the various goatse crap we see here. "Unsuspecting" is a viable defense -- and TFA mentions no one knows if they recorded the Referrer: header from the client in their logs...
Solclaim here... I wrote the original "ByepassPort" script that showed how to automate that stupid MS Passport system via Javascript (unfortunately doesn't work anymore). Fun times back then - a truly original game, but just how many spikes can one make an hour?;)

I might give 110bps, but only five bits instead of eight...
You heard me -- I said if I were actually serious, I might have actually Baudot.
Please don't misquote me on that... ;)
We apologise for the fault in the comments. Those responsible have been sacked.

Yeah... like if I'm offered the choices
1. Disable javascript and kill the web
2. Uninstall Adobe_who_evidently_can't_code_their_way_out_of_a_wet_paper_bag crap

Kind Sir: I have harnessed the power of Google Maps and still cannot find your point.

Otherwise, spot on...
And here I thought we named the planet "Earth" because of all the Earthlings that roam around on it...

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means...

Am I responsible for what authorities might find if they click this link on your computer? (BTW - when I hit submit the first time, my network connection went down for 10 minutes... Coincidence?)
