  1. Re:Who really cares? on DOJ Asks Court To Keep Secret Google / NSA Partnership · · Score: 1

    Not a basement, But an office in our own homes. Gogo Boomers V2 !

  2. Re:Time to stop thinking in words. on Computer Program Reconstructs Heard Words From Brain Scans · · Score: 1

    They tested tin foil hats, no joking, and they found they actually amplify..... So do hangers hung from the ceiling, who knew ?! Time to lay down some lead paint ! http://emfsafetystore.com/#paints

  3. Sick on German Appeals Court Confirms Galaxy Tab 10.1 Ban · · Score: 1

    I hate this new world. Back in the Day, if someone copied you and bested your product it was up to you to innovate. Now all these guys do is sit on their backsides with IP and C rights and sue anyone who comes close. It's time we got rid of these laws that only protect greed and obsolescence...

  4. Capt obvious says : on Mitt Romney, Robotics, and the Uncanny Valley · · Score: 3, Funny

    You mean in person he comes off as a hypocritical crook, you don't say ?

  5. Re:Well. this will be a first... on US Government Seeks Extradition of UK Student For File-Sharing · · Score: 1

    "The entire framework of diplomacy and international relations is predicated on the principle of sovereignty, which is being joyously trampled here." Exactly !

    Good comment !

  7. Re:Wow, what a stupid post on How To Thwart the High Priests In IT · · Score: 1

    It's a balancing act, but if IM is doing its job with management, then IT won't be a mysterious force in your environment.

  8. Re:Wow, what a stupid post on How To Thwart the High Priests In IT · · Score: 1

    Wow, I'm almost speechless.... The security issues alone prohibit this line of Stupidity....viruses, trojans and access to resources they simply won't get without having a device that's been "secured"...the "open office" concept is one that is doomed from the git go... If you come in here with a home device, you'll get Web access and that's it.... I guess I should just leave it at "You're not getting on my network with that thing" and leave it at that...."

  9. Really now... on Internet Explorer Users Have Low Risk Intelligence · · Score: 1

    All it proves is that their PC's are being used by people that don't bother with other browsers. IE is working and there's been no reason to explore alternatives. This conclusion is flawed (no dhuh) and senseless...move on. (I use Opera, FF and IE)

  10. Re:So fail them on Muslim Medical Students Boycott Darwin Lectures · · Score: 1

    Christian Scientists...God help us all.... I still have to go get my Pastafarian cerificate !

    scientist/sntist/Noun: A person who is studying or has expert knowledge of one or more of the natural or physical sciences. He just might be, heck, even I qualify...

  12. Re:In between maybe? on Can Maintenance Make Data Centers Less Reliable? · · Score: 1

    Cut costs by spreading nonsense.... I lost track of the racks I cried over when on a call in the late 90's...

  13. Idealy Idealist on Bradley Manning's Court Date Finally Set · · Score: 2

    Poor fool.... When you sign up you're supposed to understand what you're joining.

  14. Re:It was part of his job on Tech Site Sues Ex-Employee, Claiming Rights To His Twitter Account · · Score: 1

    Depends what he signed as far as "Intellectual Property Agreement" when he joined.... I would Judge the account belongs to him, assuming he created at home, but if he did it during working hours he's probably cooked. He should just try and ask for a few hundred thousand to buy it from him, since all the work in acquiring followers wouldn't necessarily fall under that IPA. Or just drop all of them and hand it over, but then they'd probably claimed he "damaged" their property. What a mess these copyright rules have made. When will we wake up and stop the greed ?

  15. Re:NYC Taxis on Oxford City Council Mandates CCTV Cameras In Taxies by 2015 · · Score: 1

    Can you tell us who regulates them ? Is it the State or the companies themselves ? I know they've started here too, I hope the sound is turned off though... And as far as I remember (when I read the notice) it was the cab company. (Ottawa Canada).

  16. Re:Well, I have one.... on Oxford City Council Mandates CCTV Cameras In Taxies by 2015 · · Score: 1

    CCD Cams but NO SOUND. I thought the laws in the UK that came into effect removed all sound capturing devices from all their Cams ? If a Cam malfunctions, or captures a crime then all the better...even if the info has no date/time stamp they'll still know who to look for.

  17. Re:EU still has some sense left, compared to US on EU Approves Unified Full Body Scanner Regulations · · Score: 1

    Can they give frequent travelers hand outs on what to do once you've been so irradiated you need medical attention ?

    You're going to need that time machine, better improve the specs ! ;-)

  19. Re:Of course! on Aussie Bank Wants To Trade Social Network Data For Better Deals · · Score: 1

    Well you don't want them assuming you're dying and closing your account on you do you... Or sending a few hawks to try and sell you on a reverse mortgage... Man, humanity hath no mercy or shame.

  20. Re:depends.. how good deals? on Aussie Bank Wants To Trade Social Network Data For Better Deals · · Score: 1

    Really ? Our info is worth quite a lot in numbers to marketers and speculators... Now they would get not only your worth and banking habits but the rest of your activities as well... Not good.

  21. Re:That seems somewhat smart on With Troop Drawdown, IT Looks To Hire More Vets · · Score: 1

    I can just see it now, a new syndrome, Server Rage ! (well ok, I've had it since 89 but...)

  22. Re:"Homegrown"? on China Builds 1-Petaflop Homegrown Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Saved me a bunch of writing. Not many of us here were at dec when we heard about the lawsuits against Intel and Microsoft for their thefts of Alpha and Vax code (Pentium Pro and WinNT). They are still re writing history as we speak (Bill G's history of DOS, which always makes me giggle, a stolen TOS is now a written code from his friend) Just goes to show.. Cheers !

  23. Human weaknesses on Astronauts As Alien Life Hunters? · · Score: 1

    Let's not forget all the nice little things we've learned since NASA became a little more open in what happened during the moon missions. From those spooky mini Elmo's fire incidents to the fact that low or no gravity can blind us, and surely a Mars mission now is out of the realm of possibility until we get a rotating mid section ship, unless we don't care about blind astronauts (yes go read about it, was quite disturbing)
