  1. Yes there are some on FBI Investigating Laser Beams Pointed at Aircraft · · Score: 5, Informative

    You can easily find computer operated 60w lasers. And yes its beam is 5 inches wide.
    That would hurt.

  2. Countermeasures on FBI Investigating Laser Beams Pointed at Aircraft · · Score: 1

    Put some computer-controlled pan-tilted 1000mw lasers on the plane and the runway.
    Maybe some windows 98 operated computers will get mad and transform the runway in some Starwars style battlefield.
    That would be a lot of fun !

    A site got C&D-ed by Microsoft for tracking a torrent of the XP SP2 patch. If you think about it they just basicaly hosted a hash of the incriminated file.
    Hey MicroShit ! Come and sue me !

    I admit that this is a difficult point. Take an exemple. I just watched my Starwars DVDs. "This film is about Jedi knights, the Empire and Ewoks". Yes I had to watch the film to make this sentence that describes the film. Is this derivative work ?

  7. Re:Devil's Advocate: Derived works on LokiTorrent vs. MPAA · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Think about the purpose of the hash. It's like a title. It's a mean for identification of the material. The ISBN of a book is not a derived work of the book.

    Let's see if we will also get the one man non-stop 10 hours extended director's cut with one actor..

  10. Re:What plus for the targeted audience ? on Think Secret Predicts Sub-$500 Headless Mac · · Score: 1

    Which retarded moderator modded this Troll ?!
    Everybody knows that Macs did not historicaly target the same audience as PC users. Down sizing a Mac to a entry level PC price won't make it instantaneously better than a regular PC. They need a significant plus over PC that I don't see, and that's what I was asking for.

  11. Re:UTC on Quake Changes Earth's Rotation, Moves Islands · · Score: 1

    In fact, UTC time doesn't exactly reflect the earth's rotation. Its seconds are real SI seconds (cesium stuff you know) but it is adjusted to follow earth rotation one second at a time and very rarely.

    For more information read this and this.

    No, your wristwatch doesn't need to be readjusted immediately.

    Do you have anything more informative ?

  13. What plus for the targeted audience ? on Think Secret Predicts Sub-$500 Headless Mac · · Score: 1, Informative

    First of all, in these ranges of price, Apple is by essence unable to compete in terms of price/performance ratio. This is not breaking news.
    The capabilities of those computers would be seriously lagging behind those of other Macs. The Macs made their fame by performing well in some niche markets : graphism, video.. If this Mac performs poorly in these situations, it's not a Mac. And I'm not talking about the applications most used by the targeted audience (MP3 savvy young people). Hell you got 1/10th of the games available on PC and with a lag that can be years.
    So why buy a Mac if a x86 computer of the same price range can fit well better your needs ? Because, hey there are ads for iPod everywhere, iPod must good, so Apple is good and this Mac is good for me (the fancy ad told me so !) ?
    My 2 cents.

  14. Paralax issue on High-Speed Video Using a Dense Camera Array · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Instead of having a hawkwardly swinging background, why wouldn't they use a set of rotating mirrors to sequentially distribute the light to the different sensors from a single entry point ?

  17. Re:Get a clue on China Lights Pure IPv6 Network · · Score: 1

    Maybe we can find something more interesting to post, though, such as accounts of torture in Tibet, which might provide a more accurate picture of what China is all about.
    That is as exact as saying that the United States of America would be accurately represented by Guantanamo, Abu Graib, et al.

  18. Re:What's the point? on China Lights Pure IPv6 Network · · Score: 1

    And what's the point with such subjectivity, hate and stupidity ?
    Instead of praising these thugs we should be clamoring for an embargo and boycotting US businesses which employ Chinese scum. Maybe you would also be clamoring for a complete airtight isolation from the rest of the world ? We would be freed of your insanities.
    Ho well, I just fed the troll I know.
