  1. Re:Lawyers on TJX Hacker Claims US Authorized His Crimes · · Score: 1

    Lawyers and judges are often cozier than we'd like to imagine. Judges were lawyers. It sounds like if Palomino was Gonzalez's attourey, he must have recused(sic?) himself from the case. My guess is that Palomino didn't want to present what he saw as a ridiculous defence that would probably do Gonzalez more harm than good (by pissing off the judge). Just a guess though.

    Definitely not a correctional officer, Idk what a Handler is. He's saying it was a federal agent, the equivalent of a detective or higher but federal instead of state, directed him to commit these crimes. Idk.

  3. Re:Ride quality on Electromagnetic Automobile Suspension Demonstrated · · Score: 1

    I suppose the question is then, when it is "without" what suspension are they using? You obviously can't just test a car without a suspension (not for ride quality anyway).

  4. Re:Ride quality on Electromagnetic Automobile Suspension Demonstrated · · Score: 1

    I keep seeing this question begged. I keep seeing the same response. When they say 60% smoother, they probably mean it travels 60% less for the same amount of damping, or it travels 60% faster, or something like that. Anyone whos ever bought aftermarket performance struts (Bilstein, Eibach, etc) knows that manufacturers love to make numeric claims, they are sometimes plastered on the box. But really, I have a question for everyone who's asked this for the 10th time: Who cares if you don't think ride quality is as quantifiable as the inventors, isn't the idea of a purely electromagnetic suspension cool enough?

    Now, I would be too, but you have to keep in mind: even if you had lower bone density and weight you probably would not know.

  6. Re:Not all Americans on Americans Favor Moratorium On New Nuclear Reactors · · Score: 1

    it is like issuing a moratorium on building new cars because someone crashed a 1974 Pinto and it spilled some coolant on the ground.

    I'm guessing you don't live around or on a gulf beach... Coming from someone who does.

    Much like the sound of the wind, I predict that joke went right over your head.

    Hey, it was "of the moon" in the title ;-).

    Anyone else misread that as rearside? Time to lay off the porn.

  10. Re:Not fiber? on MacBook Pro Specs Leaked, iPad Event March 2 · · Score: 1

    I think this is different though. PS2 was limited in usefulness and USB filled a gap for serial interfaces. Apple has switched up the monitor out since VGA at least 4 different times. WHY NOT JUST GIVE US HDMI OUT WITH A $2,000 LAPTOP?! There, I said it.

  11. Re:It's a free country on Tech-Unfriendly Cafes Say No Kindles Allowed · · Score: 2

    Maybe they just ask you to put the kindle away. I can sort of see it now, a place run by some serious hippies. You: *takes out Kindle. begin reading* Owner/Employee: Hey man we really appreciate your patronage but we have a no electronics policy at Wackadoo Cafe. Its for the ambiance. Sorry man. At that point you may continue to use the thing for a while without attracting further conversation, but are you really even going to GO there again? Unless of course you put the kindle away and had a good time..

  12. Re:Safe mode? on Cancer Resembles Life 1 Billion Years Ago · · Score: 1

    I think the article meant safe mode for the cell / tissue type, though not the human body as a whole. Not that it seems to have any hard evidence to back its claims.

    But thats the problem isn't it? People only seem to remember what was on the news over the last week, if that. Or worse, just what the last convincing person told them.

  15. Re:OK, so I don't know the whole story... on Pot Grower's Privacy Challenged · · Score: 1

    Prescription Rx's are transported by civilian mail services generally (not necessarily usps, or fedex, a local company also contracted by amazon delivers to walgreens). I don't think this is an option for medical marijuana dispensaries. The places that they manufacture controlled substances at aren't necessarily secret, but they sure as hell aren't easy to find like retail stores.

  21. Re:The West is too reliant on American services on WikiLeaks, Money, and Ron Paul · · Score: 1

    I live in a metro area, and our most popular credit union (EVERYONE seems to have them even though its a 'teachers' CU, including myself) offers regular debit cards. When I worked in retail I saw other non visa/mc debit cards, with, as you put it, non credit card numbers. I dont think visa or mc make a dime when you use your pin though, that bypasses them just as much, why is it so important whats on the card?

  22. Re:ok .. on PS3 With 3.50 Firmware Jailbroken Without Downgrade · · Score: 1

    If only I had mod points.. This is very true. Although most people who 'jailbreak' their PS3s these days are probably running 'backup' games this is appears to be the result of sony's own decisions.
