    ...What is to stop someone from "accidentally" bumping into you with their scanner in their pocket?

  2. Re:time for the FCC to get a D I V O R C E! on FCC Commissioner Wants To Push For DRM · · Score: 1

    I like contry music and hate DRM. Even though I buy my music legaly I hate DRM becuase it makes it harder to play on Linux. At least most country music is run by studios not in the RIAA.

  3. Re:Gotta get me one of those on Philips Patents Technology to Force Ad Viewing · · Score: 2, Funny

    Did you set it on fire for a reason?

  4. Re:Fine by me. on Philips Patents Technology to Force Ad Viewing · · Score: 1

    License it to one company, that one company will then go bankrupt, as no one buys their stuff.

  5. Re:eliminate top-level domains ? on Is It Time For .tel? · · Score: 1

    I thought he said it should be like file systems like this. "http://www.jp.slashdot.subdomain" because (almost) everything is under the www.

  6. Re:Tor on Under the Hood of AT&T's Monitoring System · · Score: 1

    What if they monitor who connects to Tor?

  7. Re:Dotcom v3.0 on Startup Webaroo to put the 'Web on a Hard Drive'? · · Score: 1

    wifi is nearly ubiquitous. why pay for a static snapshot of the web that will be obsolete in a few days when you can walk into a starbucks with you laptop and get the fresh stuff almost for free??

    No it isn't. There are no hotspots in my town (there is one secure hotspot), the nearest is in starbucks 1 hour away.

  8. Re:Necessary? on Thinking About Desktop Eyecandy · · Score: 1

    I had a cheap Logitech Laser mouse at the time (still have it).

  9. Re:No more new TLDs! on The .XXX Saga Continues in Wellington · · Score: 1

    They just need stirict enforcement and usable domains, not domains limited to very specific applications.

  10. Re:Necessary? on Thinking About Desktop Eyecandy · · Score: 1

    Last time I was on windows (a year ago, or so), I had it set up for "ctrl" to make a circle go around the mouse (in and out), it should be in mouse settings somewhere.

  11. Re:Of course he's concerned with the *perception*. on Judge May Force Google to Submit to Feds · · Score: 1

    Since I haven't heard about a bunch of Google employees going to jail

    Good, they are being quiet enough.

    I might have left my tin-foil off to long but I think you are over thinking it. The DOJ might in this case be telling the truth and they are getting only the list of sites (and no names/IPs).

    Correct me if I am wrong isn't this what they originaly wanted, just the list of sites that are indexed.

  12. Re:fuck on Bill Could Restrict Freedom of the Press · · Score: 1

    How many have guns that can take on a soilder with a bullet proof vest, and a machine gun? Not many, I account for one of those with a puny little pistol.

  13. Re:Good lord on Digital Cinema Not Quite There Yet · · Score: 1

    45 minutes of advertisements
    Strange at my local theater I only get around 10 minutes.

    the resumption of advertisements in the middle of movies
    Never seen that.

    personal searches before entering
    Never seen that at my local one

    relaxing discipline of people who use laptops
    They kicked someone out for using their laptop

    use cellphones+have conversations
    See laptop

    let kids yell unabated,
    I have seen people removed from the theater for their kids actions.

    raising prices above that of DVDs and a dozen other annoyances
    I have at most had to ever pay 5 dollars.


    Guess the south is good for somthing (manners at theaters).

  14. Re:Fallacy on RFID, Sign of the (End) Times? · · Score: 1

    We know that many people will suffer, and we don't want so many people to suffer. Few people actually want others to suffer in the ways the bible foretells, that is why people preach.

  15. Re:Barcodes on RFID, Sign of the (End) Times? · · Score: 1

    I thought that that was an understood reason, and didn't need spelling out.

  16. Barcodes on RFID, Sign of the (End) Times? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The only reason barcodes weren't the mark is because they can't mark humans. People have ebbed RFID tags into themselves.

  17. Re:How Tesla can still make electricity on Was Thomas Edison Right about DC Power? · · Score: 1

    That's easier, less energy is wasted moving the weight of the casket, so we get 120% not 110% power efficiency.

    I would have taken out a patent on your idea, but it got rejected for using a number above 100.

  18. Re:This is true for any in-car device... on In-Car Navigation Systems Too Distracting? · · Score: 1

    Then all you have to do is put somthing heavy in the seat (and buckle the seat), then input whatever you want.

  19. Re:You left out the question you really want to as on Being School District Admin? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If hypothetically your school is like mine then every computer is connected to a central server "F", and if like my school your teachers place their grades in an excel file in their directory named after the period number (F -> hallway -> teacher name/class number -> period) than is would be a simple matter of going to the library opening it up and changing your's. The hardest part is making sure you don't get seen by the librarian, and knowing which grades are which because they aren't titled. This will work if like my school every account, even the student account with no password, has write permission. I have not done this I have just seen my teacher enter grades and show an idot get caught by the librarian.

  20. I have one on LCD Color Corrector? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    like this I think the cable is messed up try wiggling the cable to see if the connection is bad (colors will change when wigling). If it does I found placing on leg on the cable keeps it in place, you might be able to replace it though.

  21. Re:Oh I wouldn't say so on Pay-to Play and the Tiered Internet · · Score: 1

    What about us who have a choice of AOL and Bellsouth? We can't chose someone else.

    avg rooftop 0.2 sq Km (200 m squared, search google if you doubt)
