  1. Re:In other words, we should give up. on Ron Paul Suggests Axing 5 U.S. Federal Departments (and Budgets) · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that was the point.

  2. Re:Surface on iPhone 4 Survives Fall From Skydiver's Pocket · · Score: 1

    If the home button was still functional, voice dial could be used.

  3. Re:10 full time years? on Man With 10 Million Air Miles Gets Plane Named After Him · · Score: 1

    According to TFA, he's got over 50 million frequent flier miles. While I'm sure that "air miles" don't translate exactly to miles flown, it's probably close enough.

  5. Re:Any laywers here? on Man Ordered At Gunpoint To Hand Over Phone For Recording Cops · · Score: 1

    I have never heard of a police officer going to jail.

    Former police officer David Warren sentenced to 25 years in Henry Glover shooting

  6. Re:So the question is... on The New Commodore 64 · · Score: 1

    You can't really mention those in relation to this article without mentioning the Commodore SX-64.

  7. Re:It's silly call it "light pollution" on Help Map Global Light Pollution, By Starlight · · Score: 1
  8. Re:OK, while I understand the angst on PayPal Freezes Support Account For Bradley Manning · · Score: 1

    To which I'm sure their response would be, "You want 'your' money? Feel free to sue us."

  9. Re:Can't resist ... on Goldman Invests $450m In Facebook · · Score: 1

    Tom? Is that you?

  10. Re:Obvious is different to different people on USPTO Decides To Lower Obviousness Standards · · Score: 1

    Should we really be rewarding the firms with the fastest lawyers?

    When you think about who runs the country, you'll realize the answer to that question is irrelevant.

  11. Re:Typical Dinosaur Mentality on Tech's Dark Secret, It's All About Age · · Score: 1

    And Futurama is a remake of Buck Rogers (The TV version). Think about it.

  12. Re:Last Ten Years At McChord AFB... Not New on Air Force Uses Falcons To Protect Falcons · · Score: 1

    Also at RAF Mildenhall (which was primarily a USAF base when I was there '84-'86.

    "Say goodbye to your two best friends, and I don't mean your pals in the Winnebago."

  14. Re:Oh no he didn't! on Boy Builds Wall-Climbing Machine Using Recycled Vacuums · · Score: 1

    And the kid's rig looks suspiciously similar to this one. I'll still give him credit for actually building it.

  15. Re:Polygraph on The Truth About the Polygraph, According To the NSA · · Score: 1

    I believe I read that in either this book or this one.

  16. Re:No, Mr Bond, I expect you to die... on Pacific Northwest At Risk For Mega-Earthquake · · Score: 1

    Bond is an officer of the SIS, (aka MI6), not MI5.

  17. Re:RTFA on 3rd-Grader Busted For Jolly Rancher Possession · · Score: 4, Informative

    Interesting that that statement came after the story about the school getting a letter from the state saying they went too far.

  18. Re:RTFA on 3rd-Grader Busted For Jolly Rancher Possession · · Score: 4, Informative

    Then the friend should be punished according to the state's policy. Oh, wait, there's no punishment mandated for students violating the policy (it's enforced against the schools by the Dept. Of Agriculture). Sounds like another case of the local school administrator thinking with something other than his or her brain.

  19. Re:Be someone who people want to work with on How To Behave At a Software Company? · · Score: 1

    You're absolutely right, but It's all in how you say it. "Oh man, I got caught by this before, let me show you how I got around it." goes a lot further than, "Hey that's some hilarious code, moron, now learn the API, n00b."

  20. Re:"Could" is too soft a word on USPTO Plans Could Kill Small Business Innovation · · Score: 1

    If the purpose of the fee hike is to reduce filings, then it stands to reason that they will be too high for someone, otherwise the hikes won't have any effect. And clearly, those affected will be the inventors at the lower end of the economic scale.

  21. Re:Well... on House Calls For Hearing On Stock Market "Glitch" · · Score: 1

    Who reads the prompts thrown up by software? The person hitting the button was probably used to them popping up and clicked through on autopilot.

  22. Re:reduce key count on How Do You Handle Your Keys? · · Score: 1

    How is that creepy? If a couple's been together for any length of time, they'll run into situations where it's much more convenient to not have to wait for their partner to unlock or lock the door for them. Before we moved in together, my girlfriend lived over an hour away. If she came to visit and I wasn't home from work, her having a key made things much simpler.

  23. Re:What's the point? on Gizmodo Blows Whistle On 4G iPhone Loser · · Score: 1, Informative

    Does anyone really think that Apple hadn't already figured out who lost it already?

  24. Re:The literal answer on What Will the Browser Look Like In Five Years? · · Score: 1

    There won't be ads in the browser anymore -- they'll be beamed directly into our iBrains.
