  1. Re:Thanks on DARPA Network Challenge Lasts All of 9 Hours · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think what they wanted to see was a pick-up group, not the functioning of a previously well-oiled organization.

  2. Re:UPS on DARPA Network Challenge Lasts All of 9 Hours · · Score: 3, Informative

    Corporations were specifically forbidden from entering.

  3. Re:Notary Public on A System For Handling 'Impostor' Complaints · · Score: 1

    Amen. Why reinvent the wheel? I was going to suggest that there was some other law being violated in most of these cases and the police should be able to get some action where an ordinary citizen might not, but your way is even more convenient.

  4. Re:Is this test legal in the US...? on Dealing With a Copyright Takedown Request? · · Score: 5, Funny

    (epileptics probably shouldn't drive buses for example)

    Epileptics who are not controlled by medication, thank you very much. Some of us have been lucky enough to find the right drug, and have happy productive lives, and don't kill people very often at all.

  5. Re:Not how trademarks work on Feds Target "Mongols" Biker Club's Intellectual Property · · Score: 1

    So, wait a minute. Are you telling me that if, for example, someone were to legally buy the trademark to the name and logo "Fleetwood Mac", they could come and take my Concert T shirt I bought twenty years ago? For that matter, forget selling the IP. Can Fleetwood Mac just come out and announce that everyone has to give back all of the albums because their logo is on them? Not in a million years. There is no precedent for that kind of control.

  6. How about an older PDA? on Fast-Booting Text-Editor Operating System? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Get an old Jornada 540 Series off of eBay. They can be had really cheaply, boot in seconds, and sync up nicely with whatever flavor of Windows you have. If you don't like the tiny on-screen keyboard, they have attachments.

  7. Re:Bad idea on A Full-Time 2-Way Video Link To Grandparents? · · Score: 1, Troll

    Rule 34. If there wasn't, there is now...

  8. Re:With no digital noise reduction yet? on Digitizing Rare Vinyl · · Score: 1

    He has the source in .wav format. The .mp3's are for public consumption. Does everyone just comment without reading first?

  9. Re:Doomed to failure... on Blockbuster Throws Hat into Movie Download Business · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Unless they do what Amazon did and partner with TiVo. Then suddenly LOTS of people have access.

  10. Re:Why drop? on Six Minutes of Terror - Landing Humans on Mars · · Score: 1

    Wings require atmosphere.

  11. Re:We're doomed! on Annual Cocktail Robot Awards · · Score: 1

    You mean the Brain Poison known as Alcohol wouldn't have already done that?

  12. Re:Lots of Negativity Around This Story... on Ramp Creates Power As Cars Pass · · Score: 1

    I should've added in that I'd really like to see this thing in action, to make sure it's really all it's cracked up to be. Yaknow, numbers, videos, that kind of crap.

    Here's an idea... Instead of just wishing you'd seen the videos, why not... oh, I don't know... GO SEE THE VIDEOS!

  13. Re:Great idea! on Ramp Creates Power As Cars Pass · · Score: 1

    First they came for the back roads, and I did not speak out, for I did not drive the back roads... Next they came for the Parking Lots, and I did not speak out, for I had a private parking spot at work... Then they came for the main roads, and there was no one left to speak out for me.

  14. No wonder publishers miss their dates so often! on A Wombat's Journey To Market · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think someone needs to check their math. Sept 1 to Oct 15th is six weeks on my calendar, not ten. Nipok Nek

  15. Re:Recommended minimum hardware requirement. on Classic MMOG Raised From the Dead by Past Players · · Score: 1

    It's less about hardware and more about configuration. Even Google has been brought down by a Slashdotting (it was an https: page for something.) If you are feeding a small text file on your front page, you can survive a lot. If you have lots of database lookups, forget it.

  16. It never left on Online Takeout Delivery is Back · · Score: 1

    Delivermefood.com has been doing this in the Greater Cleveland, Ohio area for quite some time now. (I suggest Kopin's for Ribs - Yum!)

  17. No copies? on Sony's New DRM Technique · · Score: 1
    You can burn a cd-r from the original once, but you can't re-burn from that first copy.


    HA! Ha ha ha ha ha!! Hee hee hee whoo whoo whhoo. Stop! You're killing me.... :D


    Someone ought to keep a list of stupid things people say.

  18. Business Ethics 0.99? on Stanford Rejects Business School Hackers · · Score: 1

    Don't Harvard and Stanford have Business Ethics classes? Presumably, you teach a class to educate people on a subject. But apparantly, for these students, the test was administered before the lessons were given. Hurray for Higher Education.

  20. Re:So that's how they did it. on Human Blood For Electrical Power · · Score: 1

    Imagine a Beowulf cluster of... US!

  21. Too Much Free Time.... on Retail Theft Detectors and False Alarms? · · Score: 1

    I possess an evil sence of humor, and too much free time, but whenever this happens to me, and they try to wave me on, I DEMAND to have them come over and figure out what set off the alarm. That damned machine just announced to the world that I was a theif, and I demand satisfaction!

  22. Re:Injections for Multiple Sclerosis on Needle Free Injections With Microjets · · Score: 1

    Hopefully, with the removal of the injection pain, and the ease of using the new device, you can break up the dosage between several sites if you like, easing whatever localized reaction you might be having to the medication. (Three little injections might be less painful than one big one.)

  23. As a Type 1 Diabetic who takes 14 shots/week on Needle Free Injections With Microjets · · Score: 1

    Hallelujah!

  24. Re:Good news! on UK Doctors Cure Type 1 Diabetes · · Score: 4, Informative

    Not true - Type II is where your body isn't correctly using the insulin it has, Type I is where the body simply doesn't make enough. Anyone (including myself) who has ever "progressed" from Type II to Type I was simply mis-diagnosed in the first place, and was always Type I.

  25. Re:RFID allows facial ID on No Encryption For RFID passports · · Score: 1

    You overedited your quote. The 1,000 out of 50,000 refers to the 2% error rate that they are aiming for, not the 20% error rate they currently have. It makes it look as if someone can't do math properly.
