  2. Re:Uhhhhh... Condensation? on iPhone's Liquid Sensors Can Be Triggered By Wintertime Use · · Score: 1

    Where can you find noncondensing conditions exactly?

    I live in the tropics, I go for a motorbike ride with my phone in my pocket for a couple of hours - 33 degrees and stupidly high levels of humidity. Stop all nice and stinky at my usual coffee place with the air-conditioner running inside at 18C - instant condensation. Not just on metal items - even your skin can become clammy for a brief time.

    >

    Actually, the condensation would happen when you leave the cold place and get outdoors, i.e., all your cold gear causes the external humidity to condense.

  3. Giving back on Google Donates $2 Million To the Wikimedia Foundation · · Score: 4, Insightful

  10. Re:Settled law in the United States on Australian Judge Rules Facts Cannot Be Copyrighted · · Score: 1

    That's a fact based on a creative work. Not a creative work based on a fact.

    Oddly enough, there is no intensional definition of "work" in the context of IP law.

  11. And Kentucky Fried Chicken is KFC on Directed Energy Weapon Downs Ballistic Missile · · Score: 1

    ******VIOLATION*******

    PLEASE HAND IN YOUR GEEK CARD! You should have known that "RADIO SHACK" is now called only "THE SHACK"!!

  12. Re:Not to be a dick, but . . . on Italian Court Rules ISPs Must Block Access To Pirate Bay · · Score: 2, Informative

    The only things found on torrent servers that is illegal are things like child pornography. Movies aren't illegal. Songs aren't illegal. I doubt PirateBay links to anything actually illegal to watch or listen to.

    None of those series of bits are illegal per se. Perhaps, possessing them, creating them, copying them, or distributing them... But no thing is illegal, only actions are.

  16. Re:The googol network? on Google Mystery Domain Reroutes 3% of Net Surfers · · Score: 2, Funny

    -o-o-o-.net is neither RFC1123- nor RFC952-compliant.

    With longer straps perhaps?

    l-o-o-o-l.net

  17. The googol network? on Google Mystery Domain Reroutes 3% of Net Surfers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    From TFA:As pointed out by Sebastian Stadil, founder of the Silicon Valley Cloud Computing Group, 1e100.net translates to "Google Network".

    Tha would be the googol network. Why not: -o-o-o-.net? (That would be a goggle with an extra "o".)

  18. Re:The next line states... on Heavy Internet Use Linked To Depression · · Score: 1

    .

    In this case, I could easily see the correlation as: depressed people are too depressed to do anything requiring activity, so they tend to sit around and watch television or surf the web.

    I postulate a correlation between doing anything and engaging in some kind of activity.

  19. Re:The debate is long from over. on The Lancet Recants Study Linking Autism To Vaccine · · Score: 1

  23. Re:Desirable? on IPv4 Free Pool Drops Below 10%, 1.0.0.0/8 Allocated · · Score: 1

    Why are some IP addresses more desirable than others? They are just numbers after all.

    Same thing with domain names. They're just letters, after all.

  24. Re:Tsk, tsk... on Why the IRS Should Automatically Fill In Returns With What It Knows · · Score: 1

    Thank you thank you for using the term "begging the question" correctly, it's so tiresome to see people using it to mean "raising the question".

    Thanks for noticing. That was actually my primary purpose for the posting.
