  1. that doesnt count for much on the inside.... on World's Thinnest Flash Memory Cell Unveiled · · Score: 1

    several of the infineon execs have just started their http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4064301.stmpri son terms.
    on the inside the only thing that counts is who you are married to!

  2. Re:Smugglers would love this... on Underwater Robots for Everyone · · Score: 1
    i did read something about this several years back, where drug smugglers attached submarine-type things to the keel of ocean freight carriers.

    these things weren't much bigger than a bath-tub and had electromagnets powered by rotors using the forward movement of the carriers.

    they would use the carrier as a huge receiver to pick up GPS signals, and at some pre-programmed location (near the destination port) would drop off and wait to be picked up.

    quite bizzare but i believe they (are still???) successful.

    guess the narcolumbians would love the newer version!

  4. straining an already over-strained system? on FCC Asks For Comments On Internet Wiretapping · · Score: 3, Interesting
    the BBC just ran a story on how the FBI are already drowning under a huge backlog of telephonic recordings.

    any more 'surveilance' just doesn't seem very practicle to me.

  5. what a sidestep! on Interview of Danger (Sidekick II) CEO Hank Nothhaft · · Score: 1
    Q: Can customers upload their own ringtones?
    A: No. There's an effort by the industry to make people pay for the content on these devices.

    It's not us! It's the "INDUSTRY"!
    We would *love* for our customers to upload their own ringtones...but the "INDUSTRY" won't let us!

    What bullshit!

  6. Perky Pat on Sims 2 Goes Gold · · Score: 1
    I never quite grasped Philip Dick's Perky-Pat game until I saw 'The Sims'.

    Seriously, if there was a merchandise tie-in, what would they produce? Dolls?
