  1. Wha???? on Facebook Masks Worse Privacy With New Interface · · Score: 1

    Seems I can edit many of the things you complain about?
    Either you're looking about something I don't see, or you don't know how to do it?

    Sorry, I already applied for a patent on having the idea to patent the process of getting a patent.

    I'll have to remember that the next time I'm in a restaurant and I see at the back table an undercover officer with a local gang. I'll be sure to point out said officer to the everyone there in the loudest voice I can, and I'll be sure to recite the first amendment like a right wing religious fanatic drone when I'm called to the witness stand at that officer's murderer's trial.

  6. similar... on Why Do We Name Servers the Way We Do? · · Score: 1

    Worked at a print shop that had a bunch of film imagesetters. When we got the first few, we started with Groucho and Harpo. When we ran out of brothers' names and bought a large one, we named it minnie. And when we bought one more, we named it Karl.

    That has got to be the most stupid thing I've ever heard.

    The institute he's en route to is called Perimeter, is it not? Surely we can work that name into the whole Hawking Radiation posts flying about.

    Now the only choice is between being shot and being sent back to Transexual Transylvania (in the state of New Jersey).

    And these are people who sold themselves as fiscal conservatives.
     

    Karl Rove politics 101, lesson 1:

    Always paint the other side as having your worst characteristics - turn your weakness into a strength by accusing the other side of the same weakness.

    - "Democrats are for big government."

      And yet, the size of the government always seems to grow in Republican years.

    - "Democrats are fiscally irresponsible."

      (Rest of this example left as an exercise for the reader.)

    - "Democrats would have government invade your personal lives."

      Well, at least when the Republicans do it, they're only doing it to terrorists.

    Feel free to add a few of your own to the list.

  14. Semantics on Scientists Test World's Fastest Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    They report that they were able to achieve throughput speeds above 1.2 Terabits per second, which they say beats the previous wireless data transmission speed record of 160 Gigabits per second by Korean scientists.

    And who could doubt them. I mean, who in their right mind could tell these scientists that 1.2 Terabits/second is not faster than 160 Gigabits/second?

    Sorry to be pedantic, but can't we try to be a little precise, sometimes?

    Actually, I believe the whole purpose of LHC was to determine if indeed there was mass in the zero's.

    As a father who had to fight tooth and nail for the right to continue to have a say in my kids' future, despite the fact the person trying to take that say away from me was but a year removed from a two week stay at a psychiatric institution... I'd say, no... I care about that little custody problem she stuck her nose into one hell of a lot.

    I just tried it. Didn't learn a damn thing until I turned it back on and quickly realized the error in the experiment.
    This mirrors the results I saw the last time I performed this experiment - back in college with the help of substances that have profoundly strong effects on The Learning Switch.

    a fire qualifies as probable cause.
    Agreed, as does the silly quantity of poorly stored vials of chemicals. I'd say there was plenty of reason to suspect a crime was in progress, or at least an immediate threat to safety. No warrant needed here. If the cops overreacted, let him sue. If the cops didn't overreact, let me be the first to file a friendly brief in favor of his neighbors' suit. From what I can tell from the actual story - not the sensationalist anti-gov see-what-you-want-to-see summary - my bet's on the latter.
