  1. As Per Reports Written in the 1970s on People On No-Fly List Can Sue In District Court · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Strengthen and lock the flight deck door. If they cannot get into the flight deck they cannot hijack the aircraft. And no the pilots are trained professionals, they will not open the door untill they are on the ground. If the Israelie airline can do it why can't everyone else.

  7. In a realated Story on Gag Order Fuels Responsible Disclosure Debate · · Score: 3, Funny

    In a related story it appears the Judge's home was broken into and ransacked and several irreplaceable articles were stolen and destroyed without anyone knowing even though it has an activated alarm and security locking system. It appears that there was a flaw in the system that enabled the perpetrators bypass it. This flaw was know to security researchers however they were under a gag order and were not permitted to release this information to the general public. The gag order was applied for by the company because âoeif the general public knew about the flaw it would impact our revenue streamâ.

  8. Re:A violent game. How shocking. on Violent Video Gaming Comes To the Wii · · Score: 1

    I knew a mother who did not mind at all if her kids played Doom. I know because I asked her if it was OK when they came over to do some multi-player on our home network with my son own day. She said that she had watched her kids play the solo game and it seemed ok afterall they were just killl monsters. A few days later I heard from my son that she had pulled the game from his friends computer. It seems that she had never seen them use the chain saw on the zombies before. Of course all the other death and destruction was ok.

  9. Subscribers on Game Developer's Response To Pirates · · Score: 1

    The only type of game that will really make money in the new Internet economy is a multi-user game that is played by subscription.

  10. Re:Popular Misconception on Google's Streetview Seen As Culturally Insensitive In Japan · · Score: 1

    ROBOTS.TXT as initially implimented was never intended to be used for any thing but the preservation of bandwidth. Files listed in ROBOTS.TXT were static and therefore when a site was indexed by a visiting program in order to save the sites bandwidth it would check the ROBOTS.TXT file to see if the page it was going to download was defined as static or not.

  11. Re:Speaking from experience... on The DIY Dialysis Machine · · Score: 1

    When my wife got pregnant she was 130lbs. When she gave birth after eight months in hospital she only weighed 110 (baby included). Then for some really strange reason she never let me touch her again.

  19. First Colour Movie on Researchers Find Color In Fossils · · Score: 1

    "Back in the day" my mother was taken to see a showing of "The Delhi Durbar" A colour documentary done by the BBC about 1912 because it was so expencive to make they would probably never make another colour film and my grandfather wanted all his kids to see at least one colur film in their lives.

  20. Business Opertunity !!! on DHS Allowed To Take Laptops Indefinitely · · Score: 1

    'Back in the day' when cell phones first came out and were the size of bricks a chap I know started a business at the local airport where he would rent out cell phones to arriving business travelers. Well costs came down and the business died.

    However, with these new regulations it just might be a good idea to start renting clean, laptops, cell phones and cameras to business travelers. Of course you would also have access to high speed lines so that the could be loaded with the data from the home office.

    Then again you might be considered as "aiding and abetting TERRORISTS!!!!!!" by the DHS.

    If it was because of it being a "private party" then why did they bring security into it. They should have just said the invitations were for a private function and therefore non-transferable.

  25. The Only Good Thing About NASCAR on Rockets To Race Over Wisconsin Skies · · Score: 1

    When my son was little and would not want to go down for his nap I would just find a NASCAR round and round type race on the sports channel and in a few minutes he would be sound asleep. I don't know whether it was the constant drone of the engines of the monotony of the cars just going around and around but whatever it was it worked.
