  1. Harddrive not in freezer but ice water bath on Stunts, Idiocy, and Hero Hacks · · Score: 1

    I had to recover a drive from a test machine that was holding up about $300K worth of product from shipping. I didn't have a backup of this machine because someone deleted a folder on the file server recently. (I still don't know who did that). I tried freezing it, but the drive heated up too quick to get the data off. So, I took the drive, put it in a ziploc bag, submerged it except for the opening of the bag with the cables coming out of it in a bath of ice, water, and salt. The combination kept the drive cold enough to run a full disk to disk copy. We got the shipment out that night.

  2. Be great for homemade pr0n on Combining Two Kinects To Make Better 3D Video · · Score: 1

    Just wait for the flood of homemade 3d pr0n :) (hey somebody had to say it)

  3. Water from space never made sense to me on Earth's Water Didn't Come From Outer Space · · Score: 2

    The whole water from the large bombardment period never really made that much sense to me. It always seemed like grasping at straws. The idea that water/ice was either in rocks, or just part of the mass that coalesced into the earth makes far more sense. There is water vapor in Saturn's rings, so why wouldn't there be water vapor in the dust cloud the earth formed from?

  4. WiFi only version PLEASE!!!! on Hands-On With Acer's New 10-Inch Android Tablet · · Score: 1

    If they make a wifi only version I'll buy it. I hope they do. If I have to buy another cell plan, then I won't own one.

  5. Countersue on RuneScape Developer Victorious Over Patent Troll · · Score: 1

    Reclaim your legal fee's and make them hurt!!

  6. Re:Isn't this going to get expensive? on Georgia College's New Policy — Reporting All P2P Users To the Police · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's a state funded "public" university. The lines on that get a little muddy. The phones in the dorm rooms have the same legal protection that your phone in your house does.

  7. mtv? on Viacom To Sell Rock Band Creator Harmonix · · Score: 1

    What does MTV have to do with music? Hell the M in MTV doesn't even stand for music anymore.

  8. Re:I like this. on Sophos Researcher Suggests Password 'Free' to Spur Wi-Fi Encryption · · Score: 2, Informative

    Nevermind, read more posts and my question was answered.

  9. Re:I like this. on Sophos Researcher Suggests Password 'Free' to Spur Wi-Fi Encryption · · Score: 1, Insightful

    But then isn't all traffic encrypted using "free" then? So, all you have to do is decrypt the traffic and you still have the same info. Or am I missing something?

  10. infrared laser pointer time on Prepare To Be Watched While You Watch a Movie · · Score: 1

    Start bringing infra red laser pointers to blind the cameras.

  11. Shocked!! on Government Admits Spying Via Facebook · · Score: 1

    You mean what I post on the interwebs isn't private?! SHOCKED, SHOCKED, I say.

  12. Public pgp key? on The Binary Code In Canada's Gov-Gen Coat of Arms · · Score: 1

    It's the binary of his pgp key. :)

  13. Re:Hrm on First Installment of Xiph.org's 'Digital Video Primer For Geeks' · · Score: 1

    Representing that with graphs and pictures does work well with the scientific mind, but even then you still have to abstract what you think it produces in the real world. Sometimes, nothing beats hard real examples.

  14. use it for directv on Fun To Be Had With a 10-Foot Satellite Dish? · · Score: 1

    Mount your LNB's on it, and NEVER get rain fade

  15. To appease the most visitors with ease on Microsoft Silverlight 4 vs. Adobe Flash 10.1 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I would go with Flash just because most people have it. The install base is substantially higher than silverlight.

  16. Congress why don't you ask instead of dictate? on Senators Want Big Rocket Instead of New Tech, Commercial Transportation · · Score: 1

    This is just retarded. The current plans were going to actually get NASA innovating again. This is harking back to the 60's, USA is the best, we can go to the moon. No shit, we've done it already. Let's move forward.

  17. Run Squid at home on Tunneling Under the Great Firewall? · · Score: 1

    Setup a linux box at home. Run squid proxy. SSH tunnel to your linux box at home and now you have an encrypted proxy inside the US to connect too.

  18. about time on Gulf Oil Leak Plugged? · · Score: 1, Troll

    Good thing we waited over a month to do this.

  19. Re:COTS = COST on US Air Force To Suffer From PS3 Update · · Score: 3, Insightful

    For some reason, I don't think it SONY would have a problem of selling directly to USAF slim's with an older ROM on them specifically for this purpose.

  20. Re:Dare I say it? on Oil Leak Could Be Stopped With a Nuke · · Score: 1

    Why stop at just one? A low yield underground to stop the leak, and thermonuke in the air to burn the slick off the water.

  21. Re:Goofy glasses on The Nuts and Bolts of PlayStation 3D · · Score: 1

    Until we have holographic displays, I don't see how you're going to get past the glasses.

  22. Re:first post! on The Nuts and Bolts of PlayStation 3D · · Score: 1

    The cell does have a standard cpu, and then it has speciality spu's also. There is 1 PPC in the cell and 6 spu's.

  23. Re:Those two guys on Is OS/2 Coming Back? · · Score: 1

    Win95 wasn't OS/2's competition, Win NT 4.0 was. I worked at EggHead at the time and I got a lot questions asked about Warp vs NT4. Had NT4 not come along when it did, Warp would have had a decent chance at the workstation market but NT4 buried it.

  24. Bunch of whiny bitches on Game Devs On the Future of PC Gaming · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is it just me, or are these developers just a bunch of whiny little bitches?

  25. Re:Did I read this right? on US Military Shuts Down CIA's Terrorist Honey Pot · · Score: 1

    Basically yes. CIA ran a forum that the terrorist were using to communicate. The DOD decided it was a security risk and shut it down. Was good intel point, but now is gone.
