  1. Re:Not just search and rescue on Automatic Life Jacket Detection For Drones · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Responding to mayday calls is never a matter of budget. It is always a matter of saving lives as quickly and safely as possible. While scrambling UAVs to search would be good to assist, you would still want to scramble a staffed rescue helicopter at the same time.

  2. Re:Documentation died with Sun on Post-Oracle Purchase, How Is Sun's Software Doing? · · Score: 1

    Most of the documentation is available within the Oracle Support interface, available to paying customers.

  3. Re:Liability on Seagate To Pay Former Worker $1.9M For Phantom Job · · Score: 1

    It would take some kind of person with experience and skills in judgement. Does such a career exist?

  4. Re:What???? on Australian Visitors Must Declare Illegal Porn To Customs Officers · · Score: 1

    That sounds kinda fun, actually.

  5. Re:Oh yeah? on Nicholas Sze of Yahoo Finds Two-Quadrillionth Digit of Pi · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I can't believe people actually modded that lame joke as funny.

  6. Re:Oh yeah? on Nicholas Sze of Yahoo Finds Two-Quadrillionth Digit of Pi · · Score: 4, Funny

    He might be the 2th fairy.

  7. Re:People want to pirate Bollywood films? on Film Industry Hires Cyber Hitmen To Take Down Pirates · · Score: 1

    Being Bollywood isn't the point - if it is happening in their industry it will happen in Hollywood, too.

  8. Re:max brooks on 7 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Outbreak Would Fail · · Score: 1

    > Citing fiction for fact

    Hurrrrrrrrrrr

  9. Re:Tolerance and Withdrawal on Caffeine Addicts Get No Additional Perk, Only a Return To Baseline · · Score: 1

    May I ask how long this process generally takes for you? I.e. how long from last cup of coffee to refreshed nubile non-addict state. Thanks

  10. Re:Nothing to See Here! on UK Newspaper Websites To Become Nearly Invisible · · Score: 1

    Which, might I add, works extremely well.

  11. Re:A word to the wise: on Ultrasound As a Male Contraceptive · · Score: 5, Funny

    It has to be with each other to count.

  12. Re:A word to the wise: on Ultrasound As a Male Contraceptive · · Score: 5, Funny

    Marriage is almost a better contraception than being geeky.

  13. Re:A word to the wise: on Ultrasound As a Male Contraceptive · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't think you need a contraceptive to stop geeks reproducing...

  14. Re:The Muslim extremists simply can't Bear it... on Extremists Warn South Park Creators Over Muhammad In a Bear Suit · · Score: 1

    No, somebody really didn't.

  15. Re:So what's new? on Military Asserts Right To Respond To Cyberattacks · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure how that is meant to be correcting me. Force != Physical force.

  16. So what's new? on Military Asserts Right To Respond To Cyberattacks · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Military flexes muscle, says they will respond with force, what's new?

  17. Re:But falling 12 feet down the stairs... on Flaw In Emergency Response System May Have Killed Hundreds · · Score: 1

    Technically the operator should have put down 24 separate incidents of falling 6 inches. They could have then declared a triage situation with all those events and dispatch all available vehicles. ;)

  18. Mod parent up on Youtube Pulls Original "Rickroll" Video · · Score: 1

    Where are all my mod points? :(

  19. Mark parent troll on What Happens In Vegas Happens In Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    Our country, our rules.

  20. Re:Scam on iPhone's Liquid Sensors Can Be Triggered By Wintertime Use · · Score: 1

    So what does this study mean for those that have been stung by the warranty "violation" of the liquid sensors? Mine were set off due to standard Australian humidity, lost me a lot of money.

  21. Re:Infrastructure? on Tech NGOs Working In Haiti · · Score: 1

    Once the infrastructure is restored, most of the other problems will be a lot easier to resolve. Emergency management is really an exercise on which way to attack a problem. Unfortunately it's one of those things where you're damned if you and damned if you don't.

  22. Re:Ushahidi on Tech NGOs Working In Haiti · · Score: 1

    This looks like a great resource, mod parent up!

  23. Re:Keeps happening on Communicator Clothing · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'd say its uses would be more in line with the emergency services, and the device would either be washable, or removable.

  24. Re:No shit sherlock on Judge Rules Games Are "Expressive Works" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why is this so obvious? Personally I would have counted video games as a commercial medium, the same as gift cards for example. They are made for the sole purpose of being sold and making as much money as possible. It is hard to count something as expression when it is made by hundreds of different people and controlled by a board of directors.

  25. Re:Always wanted a printer on Open Source Camera For Computational Photography · · Score: 1

    If you think it's such a great idea, you should seek funding for this and get to work on organising it.
