  1. Re:What will hold them up? on Company Invents Electronic Underpants · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm guessing that too much fiber would cause a different issue....

  2. Re:A great idea on MP3 Player Tax Proposed In Canada · · Score: 1

    They have sucessfully criminalised the entire media buying population by insinuating that they all intend to pirate

    Actually, TFS says they want to

    extend that levy to cover MP3 players with the intent of decriminalizing audio file sharing for Canadian citizens.

    So they specifically *don't* want to make criminals of people for this infraction.

  3. Re:One thing worries me... on GM Working On Interactive Windshields · · Score: 1

    Huh... It's like IFR for driving. Except when you're a pilot, you have to have very specific training before you're allowed to try it. Oh, and there are a lot more obstacles on the ground than there are in the air!

  4. Re:Driver's perspective? on GM Working On Interactive Windshields · · Score: 1

    This is described in TFA in the video. They have cameras tracking the driver and analyzing their position so that they can adjust the visuals accordingly. What I want to know is how crazy this looks to the passengers!

  5. Re:Suicide? on Accidental Wii Suicide · · Score: 1

    First Amendment rights are taken away from people who use it to endanger others' lives...ie. yelling "fire" in a theatre, and hate speech.

    How are those rights taken away? Certainly there are consequences for these actions, but that person continues to have the right to speak freely.

    A right, if it can be taken away, is not a right. It is a privilege. The constitution does not say anything about the "privilege to bear arms."

  7. Re:Probability of punishment on Accidental Wii Suicide · · Score: 1

    If dying in an accident does not scare people to drive safely, getting a speeding ticket wouldn't either.

    Um... Maybe we don't drive on the same roads but... it doesn't. People speed every day. I overheard someone at work yesterday say something about how "93 isn't that fast..."

    The highest speed limits around here are 70!

  8. Re:Does it work for a new project on Code Bubbles — Rethinking the IDE's User Interface · · Score: 1

    Yes actually I thought the same thing -- that this looks far more useful in maintaining existing code than in creating new code. I can think of many instances where I could have used something like this. Eclipse's "Open Call Hierarchy" is close, and alt+leftarrow in eclipse is also useful in seeing where you've been. However, you generally can't see all the actual code on the screen at the same time, you have to jump back and forth.

    I also really like how they used this concept in their debugger. Bravo for being able to keep old data on-screen for reference/comparison later on.

  9. Follow up questions on Study Shows TV Makes Kids Fat, Computers Don't · · Score: 1

    1. How do the results change if the TV has a video game console attached?
    1a. What if it's a PS3/XBox vs. a Wii (implying that a Wii takes more physical activity)
    2. How do these results compare to a child who has neither a TV nor a computer in his bedroom?

  11. Re:Gauge it out! on Netflix Gauging Interest In an iPhone App · · Score: 1

    Are you thinking of gouge by chance? 'Gauge' is a valid spelling (as is 'Gage', but that just doesn't look right).

  15. Re:Typical.. on Police In Britain Arrest Man For Bomb-Threat Joke On Twitter · · Score: 1

    If it was a joke, it wasn't a very good one. People keep saying it was a joke but typically a joke should be somewhat funny and this tweet really wasn't funny at all. I don't feel at all threatened by it, but clearly somebody did.

  16. Re:Seinfeld on Man Uses Drake Equation To Explain Girlfriend Woes · · Score: 1

    Do you really not recall the googlebombs around "Miserable Failure" or "Weapons of Mass Destruction" or are you just ignoring them because they invalidate your point?
