  1. hmm... on WiiMan, the Nintendo Wii Super Hero · · Score: 1

    one can only wonder what the midget from Jackass will think about that...

  2. Re:Prostitutes on NASA Wants "People People" for Astronaut Core · · Score: 1

    ...right, but then the astronauts come back broke. I suppose they could use crack whores, but then you have the disease factor. Tough one.

    One thing's for sure...strippers are out. 100k a year is nothing when you spend a few hours every day with strippers on the final frontier.

  3. oh, that old thing? on Latest Earth-Crossing Asteroid Passes by Tonight · · Score: 1

    nevermind that huge chunk of unstoppable space-rock heading right for us...if it mattered, we'd know by now, right? riiiiiiight.

  4. CIA mistakes... on Typo Found in Kryptos CIA Sculpture · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I doubt it, the CIA is *NEVER* wrong. ...wait...

  5. Re:Well... on Deleting Files is a Crime? · · Score: 1

    Unless he securely deleted the secure delete software, which I doubt, it's pretty obvious.

  6. Well... on Desktop Replacements and the 11 Pound Pencil · · Score: -1, Troll

    What can you expect from something rolled out under the name of 'The 11 Pound Pencil'...

  7. Re:I hope on Caller ID Spoofing Becomes Easy · · Score: 1

    Keep dreaming buddy. I'm sure 99% of crimes that never get committed aren't because the moral mumbo jumbo.

    For example:

    I don't morally object to running in to the White House naked...I'd just rather not get caught.

  8. Re:Does Unlimited really mean Unlimited yet ? on Portable Wi-Fi Hotspots · · Score: 1

    There've already been a ton of complaints from Verizon's customers on their so-called 'unlimited usage' advertising.

  9. Re:And the price... on Portable Wi-Fi Hotspots · · Score: 1

    Well, luckily for us here in America, 3G wireless data costs aren't (nearly) that high...

  10. also notable... on Portable Wi-Fi Hotspots · · Score: 2

    Also it should be known that the Kyocera 'KR1 mobile router' is also capable of connecting via cable to several cell phones, as well as the PC cards. Currently, there's not a ton of models supported, but you can pretty much guarantee that will change pretty soon.

  11. Does that mean... on The World Oceans Now 70% Shark Free · · Score: 1

    ...that the sharks are essentially as common as land? If so, count me out of that trip to Hawaii next summer...

    This also begs the question: Which part of which ocean was this "proof" obtained in? I'd say the North Atlantic might be a lot more 'shark free' than, say, the Gulf of Mexico...

  12. Re:Wi-Fi Evolution on University Bans wi-fi as Health Concern · · Score: 1

    That's the thing...we won't have to do anything about Godzilla...what kind of predator chases flourescent prey? heh...

  13. Re:Wi-Fi Evolution on University Bans wi-fi as Health Concern · · Score: 1

    ...Maybe we can use this same theory to rid the world of it's woes about nukes. Maybe, JUST MAYBE, if we nuke the entire planet, we'll evolve in to "super-humans," our crops might grow larger, better fruits that are also randomly evolved, and maybe, if we're lucky, we might even get a cat-dog mix with no anus, like that cartoon!! I'm In!

  14. What a joke... on University Bans wi-fi as Health Concern · · Score: 1

    So essentially, they're saying that the extremely miniscule amount of radiation(.25 watts in burst mode--less than a cell phone, microwave...or virtually every other consumer electronic product) is high enough to warrant depriving students of internet, unless they'd like to be teathered to a wall? How sweet.

  15. Re:Nuclear Waste? on New Nuclear Power Plants in the next 5 years · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well...

    How about we just radiate large areas of unpopulated land, plant some seeds, and see what radioactive grapes look(and/or taste) like...

    Or...maybe not...

  16. heh... on Apple Embeds Message to OS X Hackers · · Score: 1

    Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

  17. Thank (insert your 'higher being' here)... on Can Anthrax Be Controlled? · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...and here I was, thinking I might actually somehow inhale anthrax...you know, not working in a government building and all...Well, at least now I know I'm safe!

    *goes to scratch Anthrax off the bottom of my 'worries' list*

    oh wait, it wasn't there...oh well, thanks for helping me (or at least someone) feel relieved about this. one less death threat(or not)...

  18. 'bout time... on Three Companies Shut Down For Spyware Bundling · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Now, let's go ahead and shut down GAIN and all these 'websearch' places, and we'll be doing something. I see the auto-installing IE websearch bars and the "internet optimizer" wares to be some of the most vicious of all spyware. It's beyond intrusive, and downright annoying. Who wants to continually "uninstall" all of these?

  19. sad attempt... on Computer Associates Sells Ingres DB Tech · · Score: 1

    Is this just an attempt to make a name in the OS community? Good luck, using your 10 year old database technology...We've got much better tools available to us open source than 'ingres'.

  20. Re:Don't like it. on US Passports To Recieve RFID Chips · · Score: 1

    btw, less than 2/3 of that count have passports.

  21. Re:Don't like it. on US Passports To Recieve RFID Chips · · Score: 1

    Well, they run about $0.10 a piece in bulk...multiply that by the approximation of 295,734,130 americans...we're looking to spend about 29 million bucks implementing this...hardly comparable to other things they(uncle sam) waste money on.

  22. Re:Wonder how long it'll be... on US Passports To Recieve RFID Chips · · Score: 3, Insightful

    While I appreciate the fact that there will be anti-skimming and encryption incorporated, that is not going to be sufficient. Just consider how strong the encryption can POSSIBLY be, as the chips currently available are only 128-bit. Plus, given the value of the information contained therein, I would bet someone would be putting cracking that encryption scheme on the top of their to-do list. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this info be VERY useful to...say...terrorists, who have virtually endless resources?

  23. Re:Robustness on US Passports To Recieve RFID Chips · · Score: 1

    Well, currently there's chips as small as a grain of salt...I'm assuming they'd be using something around that size.

  24. Wonder how long it'll be... on US Passports To Recieve RFID Chips · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Wonder how long until this gets whored out..Unfortunately for us, RFID chips can be read by any schmuck walking down the block with a scanner, not just the ones at the customs desk in the airport. Essentially, you may as well just pass out flyers with your personal information on them...Is this REALLY where we should be heading?

  25. lol... on The Car That Makes Its Own Fuel · · Score: 1

    Let's see just how long it takes for this to be a real-world application...assuming it's even legit.
