  1. Re:Forever because..... on Wiretapping Bill Passes Swedish Parliament, 143 to 138 · · Score: 1

    Just encrypt random noise.

  2. Re:It is a great idea. on Wiretapping Bill Passes Swedish Parliament, 143 to 138 · · Score: 1

    That is a great idea. Eveyone should forward all their email to the various govenment officials who want to impliment this process as a way of assisting them in getting direct access to your email. After all they cannot fault you for doing what they want.

  3. Re:Wrong. on Oldest Computer Music Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Actualy us black sheep of the family don't get to use either the 'Mountbatten-Windsor' or the Moutbatten monickers.

  4. Re:Wrong. on Oldest Computer Music Unveiled · · Score: 1

    That was the 'family name' not the 'house name'.

  5. Re:Wrong. on Oldest Computer Music Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Not far off the mark considering that the House of Windsor changed their name from Wettin as a result of the First World War to seperate themselves from the German royal family.

  6. Re:Wrong. on Oldest Computer Music Unveiled · · Score: 4, Informative

    No the computer is in England it starts out with "God Save The Queen". Which is the original title of the music.

  7. Re:Where's the outrage in the rest of the free wor on Wiretapping Law Sparks Rage In Sweden · · Score: 3, Informative

    "You see the problem is that the majority of people no longer believe in the Constitution or even know what it says."

    Well if they don't have time to read it they could just listen.

  8. Re:Simple Garage WMD on Nuclear Warhead Blueprints On Smugglers' Computers · · Score: 1

    The 'threat hype du jour' salmonella on tomatoes although E. coli O157:H7 would probably be a much better choice.

  9. Re:Woodchips! Brilliant! on GE Microbes Make Ersatz Crude Oil From Many Sources · · Score: 1

    It is already being cleared for sugar cane plantations for the production of ethalol.

  10. Re:Nukes and Iran... on Nuclear Warhead Blueprints On Smugglers' Computers · · Score: 1

    For the same reason they down play the fact that the 9/11 terrorists were legally in the United States and almost all were from Saudi Arabia and that China is a human rights abusing totalitarian state. Political expediency.

  11. Re:Simple Garage WMD on Nuclear Warhead Blueprints On Smugglers' Computers · · Score: 1

    Get a street washer. Fill tank with clean water and a growth medium like soup cubes. Add bacteria culture and an infected tomato and keep warm with imersion heaters. When ready drive down Main Street of a large city core just before the morning commute 'washing the roads'.

  12. Change the Constitution on SCOTUS Grants Guantanamo Prisoners Habeas Corpus · · Score: 1

    So now Bush can either change the Constitution to make what he is doing legal or to give him the power to remove a supreme court judge. Actually the latter is probably better since it means that you only ever need to do one amendment.

  13. It was never a problem before. on EFF To Fight Border Agent Laptop Searches · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In the past, the time before computers, you never traveled with all your personel papers, love letters, note books, and your corporate trade secrets in your luguage because the border gaurds would be searching your stuff and possible reading it. So why is storing it on a computer so different. If you do not want it looked at don't put it there.

  14. Revisit "historical events". on Real Racing In the Virtual World · · Score: 5, Funny

    You could actually go to the cantina and see that Han Solo actually did shoot first.

  15. Re:You say: Hijacking "Defense"... on Pentagon Wants Kill Switch For Planes · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The solution to aircraft hijackings has be listed in post hijacking reports since the 1960s. Strengthen the flight deck walls and door and keep the door locked. If this had been done 9/11 could never have happened. After all, if the Israeli airline could do it why couldn't everyone else.

  16. Re:Other solar systems? on IAU Classifies Pluto & Eris As "Plutoids" · · Score: 1

    Well if an object is found in orbit around another star that fits the description of a plutoid would it not be "outside the orbit of Neptune" ?

  17. Re:Two words on Bacteria Make Major Evolutionary Shift In the Lab · · Score: 1

    The Christian Bible is a Government Publication.

    "The First Council of Nicaea, held in Nicaea in Bithynia (present-day Äznik in Turkey), convoked by the Roman Emperor Constantine I in 325, was the first Ecumenical council of the Christian Church, and most significantly resulted in the first uniform Christian doctrine, called the Nicene Creed. With the creation of the creed, a precedent was established for subsequent 'general (ecumenical) councils of Bishops' (Synods) to create statements of belief and canons of doctrinal orthodoxyâ" the intent being to define unity of beliefs for the whole of Christendom." (Wikipedia)
  18. Sound Bite Security. on Three ISPs Agree To Block Child Porn · · Score: 1

    Sounds good on the news and during re-election campaigns but does nothing to stop the overall problem.

  19. Re:Ingenious..But on New Method Discovered For Making Telescopes On the Moon · · Score: 1

    I was thingking more about maintaing the state of the paste while it is spun and cures so that it does not freeze or boil off depending on the amount on sunlight hiting it.

  20. Re:Ingenious..But on New Method Discovered For Making Telescopes On the Moon · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The problem that I see is that they will first have to build the fabrication facility and if they are going to spin a 50m morror that is going to be one large building.

  21. The Best Up Side - SPAM reduction on AT&T Embraces BitTorrent, Considers Usage-Based Pricing · · Score: 1

    Ok so it will not work everywhere but if you are charged for usage you will very quickly clean up your systems once you get your monthly usage bill.

  22. ISO 9000!! on Software Update Shuts Down Nuclear Power Plant · · Score: 1

    But how did that ISO standard get approved? Microsoft OOXML as a standard springs to mind.

  23. Re:Exactly on DARPA Cyber Range Project Doomed to Failure · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    With a simulation you can always try out various senarios from the same starting condition. Which on the real Internet would be impossible. As to the cost of building said simulator being as the net itself is 'well' documented and is in essence all software then building a simulator should be no problem. It is certianly not a $30B project. Unless of course the Government and its favorite contractors are involved.

  24. School is getting easier. on Have Mathematics Exams Become Easier? · · Score: 1

    To really see how easy school has become over the years just find some childrens books from the early 1900s. You will find that many post-seconday strudents would have a hard time with them.

  25. Re:I can't wait! on Barack Obama Wins Democratic Nomination · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You do know that if you don't vote then you don't have any 'moral' right to complain about the result.
