  1. Re:Terrible reason for veto; Let courts do their j on California Governor Vetoes Ban On Warrantless Phone Searches · · Score: 1

    It's not the governor's job to decide constitutionality. That is what the Judiciary and Legislative (i.e senate/assembly) branches exist for.

  2. Re:Not really. on 5 Reasons Tablets Suck, and You Won't Buy One · · Score: 1

    Actually character recognition is really good especially with the newer Windows 7 tablet interface. Besides it is/was not a choice between full-fledged performance and touchscreen capability. HP hybrid tx2000 series tablet pcs are regular fully-powered laptops that double as tablets. It makes sense when you need to read and annotate a lot of documents or take notes. There's also the fact the most laptop owners have access to a powerful desktop when they need to do heavy-duty creative/productive work. Having said that, the older tablets had terrible screens in terms of readability. I am looking forward to a tablet hybrid that uses Pixel Qi screens

  3. Re:And we're trusting you because.... on Hiding From Google · · Score: 5, Informative

    Google is a proven risk, this guy's just a potential one.

    This is misleading statement. Simple risk analysis: Google is a KNOWN risk with very substantial assets to lose if they screw up. This guy is an UNKNOWN risk with (presumably) a lot less to lose.

  4. Re:The people that created this must not be engine on Intel's Roadmap Includes 4nm Fab in 2022 · · Score: 1

    All Intel workers (including CEO) work in cubicles.

  5. What type of conversion? on Powering Restaurants WIth Deep Fried Fuel · · Score: 1

    So does the vega-thingie burn the oil or harvest heat from used oil? Doesn't burning vegetable oil still produce a lot CO2? I don't get it. I guess you get less smog-forming chemicals.

  6. Re:Lose the tinfoils hats... on NOAA Requires License For Photos of the Earth · · Score: 1

    This law does not make it illegal for foreigners to take satellite images of American installations. Somehow, I don't think this particular law was framed with national security in mind.

  7. Re:Glassify and dump on subduction zones on Warning Future Generations About Nuclear Waste · · Score: 1

    So basically cause mutations in marine life and incur a non-trivial risk of radioactive material spewing out of any nearby volcano. Hmmm... excellent idea

  8. Wrong Name on Redmond's Heavy Guns Go After OpenSocial · · Score: 1

    I think it's "Dare Obasanjo" not "Dare Osabanjo" ... and no, I am pretty sure he doesn't play the banjo. not many Nigerians do.
