  1. Huh? on Apple Starts Blocking Unauthorized Lightning Cables With iOS 7 · · Score: 1

    My third party cables work fine in ios 7. Imagine if someone posted this same article about Samsung. It would be as much bullshit as this one.

  2. ACLU is bad? on Chicago's Camera Network Is Everywhere · · Score: 3, Funny

    Some republican wanna jump in and tell us how the ACLU is the source of all that is anti-American?

  3. Java on Hardware Is Cheap, Programmers Are Expensive · · Score: 1

    It's thinking like this that gives us poorly performing garbage like Java.

  4. Re:Verilog on What Programming Languages Should You Learn Next? · · Score: 1

    But that doesn't mean that an FPGA is a CPU, nor that Verilog is used for "programming CPUs" as in the original post. So there yourself. I know you can get various (hard) cores on die with FPGAs.

  5. Re:Verilog on What Programming Languages Should You Learn Next? · · Score: 3, Informative

    FPGA != CPU

  6. Hosting tools on UK Moves to Outlaw 'Hacker Tools' · · Score: 1

    So what countries are friendly for hosting "hacker tools"? Time to find a not so friendly webhost in another country.

  7. Re:WTF? Cell Towers? on New ATC System To Rely On AT&T Cell Towers · · Score: 1

    GPS is a one way communication. Duh.

  8. Re:a couple questions on New Submarine Cable Planned Between SE Asia and US · · Score: 1, Insightful

    1- Find em with an OTDR. Pull it up, fix it.

    2- C

  9. Wrong way on Star Trek - Special Edition · · Score: 0

    How about we reshoot the acting and keep the old effects shots? No reason to toss out the best part..

  10. Correction on How Much Does Your Work Depend on the Internet? · · Score: 0

    Should read "How much does being at work depend on having the Internet?"

  11. VM blah blah on How Much Virtual Memory is Enough? · · Score: 0

    I'm still on AmigaOS.

  12. Memo to Dish on TiVo Wins Permanent Injunction Against EchoStar · · Score: 0

    I have your DVR. The software sucks- license the real Tivo code.

  13. x86 OS's are stack based on Next Generation Stack Computing · · Score: 0

    IMHO, for all purposes. Everything gets passed on the stack anyway. The last register OS I can remember was AmigaOS.

  14. Re:quick recharge... on Test Driving the Tesla Roadster · · Score: 0

    It's called a supercapacitor, and yes, people are working on it. Talked about for the Honda HSC and some other Hondas that escape me right now.

  15. Great. on Physicists Watch Individual Electrons Flow · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Except that charge is what's moving, not necessarily electrons.

  16. yawn... bling! on Fully Internal Water-cooled Xbox 360 · · Score: 5, Funny

    What ever happened to real hardware hacking? A guy buys some prefab shiny bits for his XBox, big deal... I think I did the same thing with my trapper keeper in '88.

  17. First Name on New Clues for Antikythera Mechanism · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Wow. Xenophon. Sign me up for that first name.

  18. AdSenseless on Google Admits Compromising Principles in China · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Now if they'd just stop kicking off perfectly legit adsense customers, they'd be back in good graces.

  19. Software is next on Home Chemistry An Endangered Hobby in U.S. · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If you read this article, and said to yourself- well that's all great, but who the hell cares about chemisty? what a bunch of nerds; I'm happy with hacking away on my harmless computer... Think again. Software is next. Don't think so, eh?

    It's easy for me to imagine a day when knowing how to access hardware directly (OMG! I wrote a driver) could be seen as subversive. Or using a compiler that can do more than a few 1,000 lines of code may be useful for making fancy apps that can do things that people might not be able to wrap their minds around. Actually, it's probably not safe to give people technical documentation at all- we don't want people to be able to write software that could maybe, potentially do something bad or not understandable by someone with an 80 IQ.

    It realls seems as if you're not happy just waking up, driving to Wal*Mart for work and being yet another consumer of crap that the government is going to make some laws to prevent you from actually understanding and exploring the world we live in. God forbid we find something other than buying a box fan for $8.99 that may actually be intellectually satisfying.

  20. Bzzzzt... beep on Gates Mocks MIT's $100 Laptop · · Score: 0

    How can you fit a quality error message on a screen that small?

  21. .net migration help docs on A .Net 2.0 Migration Strategy? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    fdisk /help

    ?

  22. Re:Ohm's law on Low Voltage Power Distribution? · · Score: 1

    Do the math. It is very lossy unless your wires are huge. Remember that current will be larger by a square!

  23. Ohm's law on Low Voltage Power Distribution? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Good luck distributing 5Vdc over any distance.

  24. Other version on Fear of Girls, a D&D Documentary · · Score: 1

    Is there a unchunky non-google version out there somewhere? Torrent anyone?

  25. Mac OS X laptop games? on Games That Travel Well · · Score: 1

    Any fun single player RPG's for all of us with powerbooks?
