  1. Re:WEP on The Wi-Fi Hacking Neighbor From Hell · · Score: 1

    Probably he didn't have compatible hardware for injecting packets so was forced to collect them passively. That's a process that can take a while (days depending on how often they used their wifi), but even then 2 weeks sounds a bit overkill.

  2. Re:Seems fair on Can a Monkey Get a Copyright & Issue a Takedown? · · Score: 1

    Well if you have the only copy then you can run away and hide it - thus preventing others from copying it. That's what copyright is...right?

  3. Re:farking bastiges! on Assange Back In Court For Sex Crimes Appeal · · Score: 1

    But if his UK visa expired, would he be deported to Australia?

  4. Re:Better Comparison Than To Clooney... on Man With 10 Million Air Miles Gets Plane Named After Him · · Score: 1

    In Up In The Air, a big plot point is getting 10 million air miles. As the article is about the guy's achievement of getting 10 million air miles, not being a car dealer, it makes more sense to compare him to George Clooney.

  5. Re:DOJ encryption policy on DOJ: We Can Force You To Decrypt That Laptop · · Score: 1

    That's a reasonable assumption for most criminals. Most people don't turn to a life of crime because they're too smart for other jobs.

  6. Re:Another parasitic linkspamming blogger on Google Blocks co.cc From Search Results · · Score: 1

    So writing is only allowed on one site on the Internet, even if it's just some small time blog? The article also clearly cites where it came from.

  7. Re:New Boss, Same Old Bullshit on Panetta Says Defeat of Al Qaeda 'Within Reach' · · Score: 1

    I don't think you can pin Libya on any corporate interests - Oil prices would be much more stable had we just let their army slaughter all the rebels and protesters.

  8. Re:Don't sign it on RIAA Math: Sell 1 Million Albums, Still Owe $500k · · Score: 1

    We've seen that the RIAA practically makes up statistics on pirated music anyways. They'd likely see the people "doing without" as just an extension of the people illegally downloading. People need to not only do without, but also make it known the reason why they are not listening to RIAA music, and what they are doing instead.

  9. Re:What happens when the power goes out? on Could PSTN Go Away By 2018? · · Score: 1

    PSTN only keeps working because it has backup power systems in place. Put equivalent ones for the cell tower and it's just as good.

  10. Re:Mechanical on Digital Generation Rediscovers Analog Wristwatches · · Score: 1

    plus it doesn't need batteries, which can be a plus in a postapocalyptic scenario / finding-oneself-stranded-on-a-mountain-with-no-batteries-nearby-just-as-soon-as-they've-run-out-type situation.

    But a solar/dyno watch will work just as well in those rare situations where time is important.

  11. Re:JESUS FUCKING CHRIST on China's Coal Power Plants Mask Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Maybe he meant that the CO2 Humans personally breath out is less than a single volcano. I could see that being true.

  12. Re:High Tech on A Solar-Powered 3D Printer Prints Glass From Sand · · Score: 1

    By watching the video, it's pretty clear how the basic process works - Giant magnifying glass aimed at the sand melts it.

    The moving around to the right location is the complicated part.

  13. Re:Opera performance worsening trend on Opera 11.50 Released · · Score: 1

    I've had similar problems with Opera ever since they introduced tab stacking. Before all the tabs would get so thin that I couldn't see the contents (I like the thumbnail sized tabs) so I'd eventually kill a few off to clear some space. Now that I can stack tabs, I just put stuff together (say all the relevant Java docs for a project) and compress it when I'm working on something else. Probably have around 50 open now, but only 12 tabs (including email) are visible.

  14. Re:Consumer Choice on DVRs, Cable Boxes Top List of Home Energy Hogs · · Score: 1

    The channels and tuning can work with any cablecard compatible device, but the on demand content (and channel guide?) wouldn't be accessible.

  15. Re:let's see what's actually happening on Google To Digitize, Make Available British Library's Historical Holdings · · Score: 1

    No, they didn't hand over any copyrights, it even states that all digital rights revert back to the Library. Google already has the expertise to scan these books and the infrastructure to distribute them.

    Basically they saved tax payers £6 million plus whatever the hosting and distribution costs would be AND the books are now easily accessible to anyone in the world! Do you really think the British Library could have done a better job than Google in house?

  16. Re:It must be Tuesday on LulzSec Suspect Arrested By UK Police · · Score: 1

    Just wait for after a few more of these stories the twitter feed starts speaking in the first person...

  17. Re:Why doesn't the president just take it to Congr on Military Drone Attacks Are Not 'Hostile' · · Score: 1

    What planet are you from? Are you forgetting that the Republican polices got us into two wars and a horrible recession? How about the GOP's view on the "Freedom" for those in Gitmo and waterboarded?

    MCCONNELL: The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.

    There's one for you, though it's pretty easy to tell if you follow American Politics much.

  19. Re:Now on Weather Satellites Lose Funding · · Score: 1

    Looks like you're trying to apply a completely different situation to this in an effort to insult Pelosi. Did you even read the article you linked? She wasn't pushing for laws to let drugs in and then jail the users. In fact, she didn't really give any opinion as to which path to take, just stated that the cheapest solution would be to educate people on drug use so as not to use them, and even jailing all the users would be cheaper than securing the border tight enough to stop drugs coming through.

    Yep, still dead...no story there. Unless we can get a 10 year anniversary or something...

  23. Re:First on Obama: 'We Don't Have Enough Engineers' · · Score: 1

    1) Get your Congressmen hacks off the backs of for profit colleges, many are very good

    Many are indeed very good, however, Congress is going after the ones selling worthless degrees in things like cooking where the students won't be able to pay off their loans (loans often provided by the government). Telling schools that when they're getting nearly 90% of the money from the Government that most of their students should at least be able to get a job isn't all that harsh.

    2) Get the deficit under control, stop the spending, it will change the outlook of the country

    This is good for the long term, but it can't be done overnight, and it needs to include more taxes/revenue. We had it under control in 2000, but then that got twisted into "the government should give that surplus money back to the people in tax cuts".

    3) Fund areas of science which will make people want to be engineers. We need something real, not rail. That means a Manhattan/Apollo scale project (just don't go damn the costs like they did) that will suck up these engineers and better the country. Can I suggest safe nuclear power combined with some renewable sources? We certainly have the tech for the former and need to develop the later else hand the country over to China

    High speed rail is a valid research area. We're looking for 10,000 new engineers a year so there should be MANY MANY projects for them to work on.

    5) Did I mention the deficit? The doom and gloom hanging over people's heads when they see such staggering numbers and what happens in the world makes them lose focus. Be a President for once, stop being a politician.

    Most people don't care about the deficit. Deficits really play no part of the day to day lives of most Americans. Things like having a job, paying bills, buying gas, and getting health care/social security are what most people care about. Deficits/debt are issues raised by the party not in power. And Congress is where the budget needs to come from.

    Alternatively, you could do what I did which was to acknowledge the recording and thank him for letting me know there was a problem, then be off on my way a few minutes later with no problems.

  25. Re:If they have nothing to hide? on Court Case To Test Legality of Recording the Police With Your Cell Phone · · Score: 3, Informative

    The law is for audio recordings, not video only. I know I was pulled over once (light out) and the first thing the officer did was to inform me that he was recording audio and asked if I consented (I don't know what would happen if I didn't....).
