  1. Re:But that's the POINT of Waze on Millions Of Waze Users Can Have Their Movements Tracked By Hackers (fusion.net) · · Score: 1

    Um, isn't Waze owned by Google?

  2. Crosstalk Cancellation on Ask Slashdot: Cheap and Fun Audio Hacks? · · Score: 1

    I recall there was an article many years ago that mentioned how to use an extra set of speakers adjacent to the main speakers to eliminate audio crosstalk similar to vintage Polk SDA speakers and Carver Sonic Holography, I don't remember the wiring diagram but it used the same amplifier as the main speakers with the additional speakers wired in series and out of phase. The ideal listening position was fairly narrow and the results were hit and miss depending on the recording. Maybe an old Polk SDA review can help: http://www.polksda.com/srsrevi...

  3. Micro USB? on USB Killer 2.0: a Harmless-Looking USB Stick That Destroys Computers · · Score: 1

    Couldn't the same thing be applied to micro USB and kill cell phones? Though I suppose it may take longer time to build the necessary charge.

  4. Unknown unknowns on The Case For Teaching Ignorance · · Score: 1

    "There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know." - Donald Rumsfeld I could just imagine the course beginning with this quote.

  5. Re:Heart Oblique Impact? on The Frozen Plains of Pluto's 'Heart' · · Score: 2

    That one picture does look a lot like the edge of a frost heave. Can't wait until the higher resolution images come out. It's looking like one could spend another 10 years looking at all the data that's coming. One thing I've noticed more from this mission's images than other ones is that there appears to be an excessive amount of enhancement done on the many of the images especially the ones from about a week ago, to the point where it's fooling the eye into seeing what appeared to be angular structures which disappeared when higher resolution images come out.

  6. Heart Oblique Impact? on The Frozen Plains of Pluto's 'Heart' · · Score: 1

    Isn't a heart shape one of the possible results of an oblique impact event? What if a piece flew off got caught in Charon's gravity and did a soft hit, wouldn't it look like a mountain in stuck in a small crater?

  7. Recycle on Million Jars of Peanut Butter Dumped In New Mexico Landfill · · Score: 2

    Ok so maybe nothing can be done with the peanut butter but that sounds like alot of glass or plastic that could at least be recycled.

  8. Re:will be interesting to see what they do with it on Google Acquires Boston Dynamics · · Score: 1

    How cool would it be if they entered the Iditarod with a fully automated team with a sled pulled by BidDogs and manned by Atlas. Forget self driving cars, I want to ride WildCat to work.

  9. Re:Perhaps No Accident? on UK Police Seize 3D-Printed 'Gun Parts,' Which Are Actually Spare Printer Parts · · Score: 1

    If someone produces a 3D printer that can print bullets and eject them in a desired direction with a desired velocity, would the printer qualify as a gun? Would a keyboard then qualify as a trigger?

  10. Re:Hazard on Volvo Developing Nano-Battery Tech Built Into Car Body Panels · · Score: 1

    As a plus, the setup now doubles as reactive armor.

  11. Warehouse Storage on NASA Releases Restored Apollo 11 Video, But Originals Lost · · Score: 1

    The blame should go to the guy who put it in the same warehouse as the Crystal Skull.

  12. Work light on Stuck Knob Causes Serious Window Damage To Atlantis · · Score: 1

    I'm assuming the work light was found and it's not still jammed underneath the brake pedal.

  13. Re:Dissolve it on Stuck Knob Causes Serious Window Damage To Atlantis · · Score: 1

    If the knob is aluminum, they should be able to dissolve it with mercury though you wouldn't want to get it on any thing else aluminum.

  14. Flying Faster Without ID on TSA Bans Flight If You Refuse To Show ID · · Score: 1
  15. Re:Giant Mirror? on Solar System Look-Alike Found · · Score: 1

    And then developing the optics to observe the past history of the earth in real time...

  16. Hacking Memories on SenseCam Aids Patients with Memory Problems · · Score: 1

    Just imagine the amount damage a hacker could do, planting false images to lead a person to believe or do something that they wouldn't otherwise then erasing the evidence afterwards.

  17. Office Space on A Google Blunder- the Sad Story of Urchin · · Score: 1

    This is what happens when you fire the guy that takes the specs from the customers and brings them to the engineers...

  18. Hotel room bust on Indiana Jones Gets Robbed · · Score: 1

    Soon to be disclosed, the unnamed online reporter was actually Steven Spielberg. Audio of the operation to be released: Don't let nobody out of this room. (Expletive.) Think you can steal my (expletive) and sell it?

  19. Manufactured Landscapes on Digital Waste Worth More Than Gold, Copper Ore · · Score: 1

    The documentary Manufactured Landscapes contains some surreal footage of the piles of sorted materials that get piled up from the recycling process. It also has footage of the shipyard recycling process which appeared to be all done by hand. The opening scene scrolling down the length of a manufacturing plant in China rivals the opening Star Destroyer scene in Star Wars IV in sheer scale.

  20. Re:Gorilla / Human lovin'? on The Coevolution of Lice & Their Hosts · · Score: 1

    We did not get pubic lice from other hominids. We got them from the ancestors of gorillas. Did these gorillas ancestors have pubic lice and head lice? and if so which one did hominid pubic lice come from? and if from gorilla ancestor head lice, how?
  21. Sony CCDs? on Mars Camera's Worsening Eye Problems · · Score: 1
  22. Re:I totally believe it on Two-headed Reptile Fossil Found in China · · Score: 1

    Any half decent artist would have used "X"s for the eyes and had a tongue hanging out. To me it looks like it's just sleeping. It might as well have been drawn running around shooting flames out if it's mouths.

  23. Re:Funny on Two-headed Reptile Fossil Found in China · · Score: 1

    This was most certainly a transitional fossil to the 20th century Ghidrah. Somwhere in between there should be fossils with wings, a third head and two tails.

  24. Quote from Clint to the Aliens: on Alien Rain Over India · · Score: 1

    "Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining."
