  1. Google Browser? on Google Releases Google Browser Sync Extension · · Score: 0

    I had something obscuring FF and just saw "Google Releases Google Browser." I almost had a heart attack.

  2. Re:Not really security on N.Y. County Mandates Wireless Security · · Score: 0

    Stores can ignore public information campaigns. They actually have to do something (and, by extension, think about it) if there's a law.

  3. Re:Falling prices? Huh? on Cheer Up! Video Games Are In Great Shape · · Score: 0

    Inflation.

  4. Re:One time pads are... on Code for Unbreakable Quantum Encryption · · Score: 0

    The difference being that you can courier the pad in advance. Send a whole stack every month to the embassy so they can decrypt messages you email them. Give them to a company of soldiers and then broadcast encrypted messages to them by radio.

  5. Gregorian on What is the Best Calendar? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    obviously

  6. Re:The US Navy has a better new toy on Automating Future Aircraft Carriers · · Score: 0

    Also, consider the cost of the precision munitions that would have to be dropped from a plane, otherwise, and it comes out to be a good deal.

  7. Re:Safest browser ever available on Highly Critical Hole Found in IE · · Score: 0

    Actually, the hack is in the brain's image rendering - just have the person try and draw goatse.

  8. Myspace on The Surprising Truth About Ugly Websites · · Score: 0

    QED

  9. Re:Fair?? I don't think so. on Vista May Put Anti-Spyware Companies Out · · Score: 0

    What is fair is for the company that actually produces economic value to stay in business. If Microsoft's OS, through whatever method, doesn't get spyware (haha), then these other businesses no longer produce any value.

  10. Re:Fair?? I don't think so. on Vista May Put Anti-Spyware Companies Out · · Score: 0
    Your argument is just like the summary's...

    While this may be good news for buyers of Vista, it is not for anyone who makes a living from selling anti-spyware software. MSFT actually writing a decent OS would have the same effect. Would you complain if they did that, too?

  11. Re:The Google Way on Adapt to New Technology or Die · · Score: 0
    Traditional media needs to take a que or two from Google.

    The company that's said it will never create content, just display others'? Brilliant!

  12. Re:Tablet PCs on Pen-Based PDA Market on Death Bed · · Score: 0

    My physics teacher used a TabletPC very effectively - instead of using the chalkboard, he had it hooked up to a projector. He could write on it while looking at the class and lecturing, and the lecture notes were saved and put online so we could look at them later.

  13. Re:Bush Whacked. on President Defends Global Outsourcing · · Score: 0

    Corporations will just pay private citizens to make their donations and do their lobbying. That's called money laundering, and it's illegal.

  14. Re:Get rid of the bean counters on The Financial Future of Space Travel · · Score: 1, Funny

    We should invade Iraq not only for the oil, but BECAUSE IT'S THERE!

  15. Re:SLAPP on OSx86 Shutdown Rumors Explained · · Score: 0

    No, Apple sent the DMCA letter (NOT a lawsuit) to the site specifically, and the site admins took it offline while they are going over all 60k forum posts.

  16. Re:Disgusting. on OSx86 Shutdown Rumors Explained · · Score: 0
    Someone posts a link, Apple sends a letter saying, essentially, "delete the post," they do it. They're trying to make sure there's nothing else there. Apple didn't take down the site; the administrators did so that they wouldn't be flooded with posts about the issue, and so they could review all 60k forum posts.

    Also, I recall the OSx86 admin saying that he wanted to work with Apple, not that he was currently. (I was looking over his shoulder as he wrote the letter to the AP writer.)

  17. Re:Let's just sue everyone for everything on Take Two Shareholders to sue over Hot Coffee · · Score: 0

    You purchased stock in Company A. Company A made decision X and decision Y. Decision Y caused them to loose money. The law does not entitle you to sue company A for not making you rich. Yes it does. It's called fiduciary responsibility towards the shareholders, and corporations have it by law.

  18. Re:AJAX? on Advanced Requests and Responses in Ajax · · Score: 0

    It actually works pretty well in Gmail.

  19. Re:Let me be the first to say... on US Lawmakers to Keep Google Out of China? · · Score: 0

    Any company publicly traded in the US has to obey US law for the most part. Almost every important company that's publicly traded anywhere in the world is publicly traded in the US.

  21. Re:The trouble with monopolies on NASA Inspector General Under Investigation · · Score: 0

    NASA isn't a monopoly - it's just few others get into spaceflight because it's really expensive and there's not much profit in pure science missions. Unless you want to let them start patenting stuff they find on Mars...

  22. Re:my guess would be .... on Linux Powers Military UGV · · Score: 0

    My guess is no, because they have guns.

    How did this get modded +4 Interesting instead of -1 What the fuck?

    Civilization IV. Just one more turn...

  25. Re:Security on Buy Vista or Else · · Score: 0

    The .wmf vulnerability was part of the specs that they implemented - it wasn't a bug. So it should exist whether or not they reused code.
