  1. Toy vs. Tool on Why Have PDAs Failed In The iPod Era? · · Score: 0

    I've experienced that iPods are more often toys or tools of entertainment while the PDA is more work-related in its use. Typically, delivery-boys, truckers and such use PDAs for signing the necessary paperwork, while iPods are (in my regard) mostly a tool for entertainment or gaining social acceptance.

  2. Brilliant! on Cell Phones Learn to Recognize Their Owners' Faces · · Score: 0

    Brilliant!
    So after I've been through the near-fatal car accident, I can't call for help!

    I, for one, welco- ... WAIT!

  4. Re:Actual quote on Interview with NMAP Creator Fyodor · · Score: 0

    Anyone has an overall plan for this "r00t dance"?

    They must be elite.
    Found nothing on google for "index of /national_secrets".

  6. Re:Assassin dolphins on Microchips for Dangerous Animals? · · Score: 1

    My initial response would usually be yes.
    But then, the silent Flipper-assassin should _not_ be tagged, unless you want to ruin the entire operation. We don't want a sudden upsurge of surfers hanging around in the oceans now would we?

    The problem is really simple; would you GPS tag a ninja?

  7. got r00t? on Toyota Develops New Plant Species · · Score: 1

    Toyota has root access.
    No doubt about it.

    So, where's this Canadia?

  9. Sing-alongs? on 20th Anniversary of Windows · · Score: 1

    When Windows first shipped, 20 years ago this month, it was considered nothing more than a slow operating environment that had arrived late to the party.. and not much has changed since then, methinks.

    But my question is; how will they celebrate this? Corporate sing-alongs and collective suicide?

  10. This is all nonsense, since.. on Dinosaur Forces Rethink Of Flight's Evolution · · Score: 1

    ..we all know it happened since a dinosaur fell down from the tree, but was distracted in the critical moment, and failed to hit the ground.

  11. Eureka! on Archimedes Death Ray · · Score: 1

    (a notably smart person)??
    You'd have to do better than that!
    It's thanks to him alone, and his "ships that spewed fire" that the Persian throne didn't conquer the Western world at the time. (They had many other tries. This invention helped the Greeks even after he was gone, that is the lords recognized his genius even though most of them didn't even knew who Archimedes was.)
    In addition, he did the batthub thingie, which should grant any man the status of genius.

    But then your friends are all nerds hanging out at IRC and /.
    Even though the hammer can be smashed to pieces doesn't mean the hammer isn't useful.

  14. Re:DoS'ing != Hacking on Jamming Cellphones with Text Messages · · Score: 1

    The attack itself, yes, but first you'd have to find a way.
    And this, IMO, is the hack.

    Pigs run very fast, mind you.

    At least that's what I've heard.. *cough*

  18. Re:Ironic on Blogging as Press Freedom in Repressive Places · · Score: 1

    Creating general chaos in a crowded theater is disturbing the peace and not related to the freedom of speach.

    I have no problem with people supporting nazi ideology, but I - as well as most other (theoretically) rational people - just ignores it.
    THIS is the weapon of freedom. A guy can say "I really hate niggers."
    See how many friends he get, or how supporters leave when they realize how difficult it is to implement their ideas into democracy.
    But I still don't mind him saying it.

    Acting it out, however, is another matter - again NOT related to freedom of speach.

  19. I don't get it.. on Camera Phone As High-precision Scanner · · Score: 1

    We've had scanners for years, handheld scanners too, but have you ever copied a real book page-by-page?
    I have.
    Believe me, it is not something worth doing.
    And I honestly don't believe the "blackmarket warez doodez" will suddenly start sending around CDs with lists of books you can get..

    You're horrificly right.
    Especially about the MS obedience (and non-understanding of hackers, e.g. "they are evil" or "inmature teenagers") and the frenzy.

    Hawking doesn't have any radiation. He is so negatively charming that doors in the shopping malls won't open for him.

  22. Re:Makes sense on Remote-Controlled Robots Explore 'Lost City' · · Score: 1

    I only have a single bed (size 1.5 comparing to a double bed, but still) so lying on it, using the long vacuumcleaner "rod", I get there easily. This way, combining technology and physics, I have acclaimed the possibility of cleaning dust from under my bed without leaving it.

    Yes. I've been doing it for years.
    With my Logitech webcam that has a small maglite attached, I've used hi-tech technology to check for dust under my bed.
