  1. Nothing to see here folks on Delta Replacing Flight Manuals with Surface Tablets · · Score: 1

    So in case of flight emergency the flight crew will have the speed of windows search to find the correct procedures. I feel safer already...

  2. Re:Teaching on Students Hack School-Issued iPads Within One Week · · Score: 1

    Some years ago on a flight to (or was it from?) Vegas I was unfortunate enough to be seated next to a 13 year old girl who explained to me how the tool she used to get free internet access via AOL worked.

    Just how much detail did she provide?

    Enough to where I just wanted her to shut the hell up, though I'm not rude enough to say so to a little girl. Eventually I managed to get my mp3 player into action by a long drawn-out process of fiddling with it meaningfully.

    I know the feeling, unfortunately.

    Please ruin it like you did Star Trek. Oh sorry, that's a given.

    I still have mixed opinions about that. But if he put R2D2 all the way through Trek then maybe he can put Enterprises in Star Wars.

    Gene Hackman was doing this in the 1970's http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071360/?ref_=sr_1

    He is the original slashdot nerd, and so easily manipulated by Harrison Ford.

  10. Re:Running near the road on A Beautiful Mind and Broken Body For Silicon Valley · · Score: 2

    This rant was brought to you by the ultimate entitled member of US society - the motorist.

    And from a ex-jogger who wanted to avoid being featured in a story just like this one. It's not just about road safety, it's about safe jogging practices.

  11. Re:J Edgar Hoover, Anyone? on Declassified NSA Docs Shed Light On Cold War (And Modern) Operations · · Score: 1

    * For example, we know that Jackie O. had a lesbian fling because an item of her correspondence obtained for Hoover's personal safe was misfiled. Can you think of any reason for the FBI having a love letter like that other than blackmail?

    Masturbation?

  12. Running near the road on A Beautiful Mind and Broken Body For Silicon Valley · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sorry all, but I have a need to vent my spleen about people who insist on habitually running near roads, it's fucking stupid.

    First up, you are breathing heavily the toxic fumes output by cars. You are doing your excercise next to moving vehicle which even when travelling at 60 kph (40mph) is roughly the same as falling from a four storey building. Everytime you run near a road you are placing your trust in some random stranger where you don't know if they are competant, drunk, sick, distracted, fatigued or just plain make a mistake whilst you are wearing headphones and placing your life in someone elses hands. Is it really worth it?

    I witnessed the height of this stupidity whilst driving home from the gym at night I saw a man, running for exercise, dress all in black in the pouring rain through roadworks where all the street lights were not working - wearing fucking headphones. This is not exercise, this is idiocracy. Zero for sensibility!

    Now don't get me wrong, running is a great exercise and builds an iron will, but for fuck sake joggers, there are perfectly good parks, trails, beaches and even bicycle lanes you can use to run on where there is none of the above dangers from cars. Sure, you may wish to take yourself out of the genepool by tramatising someone just trying to get home but FOR FUCK SAKE please, please, please if you are going for a run have some fucking situational awareness.

    rant concluded.

  15. Looks the the DEA is winning this argument, based on their efforts and responses.

    Thanks for that. I really think that more Americans should be writing letters to their politicians as it seems to be quite easy to subvert the will of the people.

  16. HIPPA on DEA Argues Oregonians Have No Protected Privacy Interest In Prescription Records · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Co-incidentally, I was doing training on this today. From what I learned this the point of the legislation in HIPPA. The act (and the amendments) concerns the confidential transit of private medical information and the correct handling and destruction of it. Of course they need a warrant otherwise it's a violation, liable to some pretty big fines. That might even affect the admissibility of the evidence to a court because it's illegally obtained.

    If you want to stop ID then you must explain to religious people why ID is actually the work of Satan deceiving them into blasphemy. Since there is plenty of evidence of satan in human suffering this should not be a problem to accept but it's not a language either side of this fucking debate seems to understand.

    I suppose we could just use humans instead. We don't get emotional attachments to those, do we?

    Well the robot's won't get an emotional attachment when they send a human in to get blown up, they'll just send another one.
