  4. Ironic Karma on Drought-Stricken Texas Town Taps Urine For Water · · Score: 0

    Texas on Tuesday became the first state to challenge the Environmental Protection Agency's finding that gases blamed for global warming threaten public health.

    Gov. Rick Perry and other Texas officials said the federal finding is based on flawed science and would harm the state's economy.
    The EPA issued the finding two months ago in an attempt to regulate carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases as pollutants under the Clean Air Act.

    Such rules would have a profound impact on Texas, which pumps more carbon dioxide into the air than any other state because of its scores of coal-fired power plants, refineries and other industrial facilities.

  6. Linux kernel hackers' opinions about UI on Linus Torvalds Ditches GNOME 3 For Xfce · · Score: 1

    Should be taken as seriously as Gordon Ramsay's opinions about kernel design. When Don Norman, Bruce Tognazzini, or someone else who actually has an informed opinion about user interface comments about GNOME, then I'll consider it to be newsworthy.

    Elephant puts Lion in its place.

  8. Like A Monty Python Sketch on Android Trojan Records Phone Calls · · Score: 1

    So in other words: Android is secure because every human being should be perfectly capable of reading dialogs, groking the details, and making use of trusted sources instead of untrusted ones. All the people who aren't reading articles, groking their details, and referring to trusted article sources are obviously spreading FUD about how Android treats the issue of security.

  14. First Rule Of Cyberwarefare on Book Review: Cyber Warfare · · Score: 1

    Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the iPhone 4 as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the iPhone 4 had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of Steve Jobs' reality distortion field than we know today.
