  1. Re:Would it not be easier.. on A New Use For Drones: Traffic Scouting · · Score: 1

    Hey, Drone Wars would give us something to do while we sit on the parking lot er I75...

  2. Re:Does this idea make sense? on A New Use For Drones: Traffic Scouting · · Score: 1

    Now in the woods this would be great for scouting prospective camping/hunting areas prior to venturing out.

    That's actually a great idea - these would be great for wildlife management/observation. Choppers are loud, these are nowhere nearly as loud.

  3. Re:NYPD on NYPD Is Beta-Testing Google Glass · · Score: 1

    urge... to kill... rising...

  4. Re:Fine x Probability of Being Caught = Incentive on Judge Says You Can Warn Others About Speed Traps · · Score: 1

    My favorite is when the camera would go off when -nobody- was in the intersection, entering, or leaving.

    Yes. I've seen that.

    Several times.

  5. Re:Common sense? In MY judiciary? on Judge Says You Can Warn Others About Speed Traps · · Score: 1

    In corollary, mine (also extended family) are some of the best people I know, and I have never had a single problem with any LEO.

    Typically a quick pulse of the high-beams does just that anyway, as the lows turn off and there's a short gap before the high-beams are at full brightness.

  7. Re:I do not look forward to this. on Through a Face Scanner Darkly · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately because of the "false positives" the list now has zero validity - unless the specifics of someone's inclusion on the list is visible.

  8. Re:Embryonic ability on Acid Bath Offers Easy Path To Stem Cells · · Score: 1

    Apparently there's some problems with that method or it's a pain in the rear to do so.

    This new method seems to offer promise to be both cheap and easy to do so at scale.

  9. Re:Not very surprising. on Study: Some Antioxidants Could Increase Cancer Rates · · Score: 1

    The "fun" thing about cancer is that it typically kills after it's possible to breed. There's little selective pressure because of that - while there is still some (for social animals like us at least), it's not that strong.

    Woosh.

    Patient dies, tumor dies (eventually)

  11. it won't fit? on OpenBSD Moving Towards Signed Packages — Based On D. J. Bernstein Crypto · · Score: 2

    I call bullshit:
    Copied right from /usr/bin:
    "-rwxr-xr-x. 1 person staff 744K Nov 11 2010 gpg"

    Packed with upx --best: (note this runtime unpacks, there is no loader library etc)
    "-rwxr-xr-x. 1 person staff 327K Jan 19 05:40 gpg"

    I should note this is a static binary.

  12. Re:Hear that, Microsoft? on PC Shipments In 2013 See the Worst Yearly Decline In History · · Score: 3, Informative

    Don't.

    It's a computer - a tool. Bend it to your will, don't bend to it.

  14. Re:Google+ is supremely annoying on Google Begins To Merge Google+, Gmail Contacts · · Score: 1

    I've had mine since 2006. Sure, they have tried to get me to use Google+ (mostly via Youtube, recently) but every time I've managed to accidentally create a Google+ profile, I've deleted it.

    My gmail, my apps domain, etc all continues working just fine. The only thing that doesn't (that I honestly don't miss too much) is being able to comment on youtube.

  15. Re:Well yeah on Pirate Bay Founder's Custody Extended to February 5th · · Score: 1

    So instead of posting a guard on his door, they rape his human rights?

  16. Re:Interesting... on McAfee Brand Name Will Be Replaced By Intel Security · · Score: 1

    Which is hilarious, because McAfee could spend 5 seconds setting an executable flag so that Windows launches it's process with a Below Normal priority.

  17. Re: dogs deficate not staring into the sun on Dogs Defecate In Alignment With Earth's Magnetic Field · · Score: 1

    There's quite a precedent established!

  18. Re:Who submits these reports? on Unencrypted Windows Crash Reports a Blueprint For Attackers · · Score: 1

    Sure, but it died in a fire a long time before that.

  19. Re:If it works for them... on The Japanese Mob Is Hiring Homeless People To Clean Up Fukushima · · Score: 1

    I think calling them crazy or crazy-as-shit is a bit uncalled for. Sure, some of them are, but most are not.

    Just misguided, gullible, or naive.

  20. Re:Still think it's a hoax now? on Jade Rabbit Spotted By American Eagle (LRO) · · Score: 1

    They faded to white a long time ago, so it's hardly coincidental.

    I'm sure you've seen it mentioned elsewhere, but just in case: TSA != US Customs.

    A fate they quite arguably deserve.

    He should do it because it's the right thing to do, there should not be any need for more incentive than that.

  24. Re:this is why tattoos aren't taboo anymore... on The Power of the Hoodie-Wearing C.E.O. · · Score: 1

    Why are hoodies useless? I'm going to assume it never goes below 65F where you live.

    I'd prefer he get busy dying. Hopefully that's what is happening, actually.
