  1. Change time on Vote To Eliminate Leap Seconds · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think it would be soo much easier to throw away our clocks & base everything on the number of seconds since 00:00:00 January 1st 1979 from now on.

    Come on it's been nearly 2008 years since we had BC, it's time for a change !

    It's actually just an inside reminder to press CTRL+Taco to login.

  4. Cutting back on expenses on Gene Simmons Blames College Kids For Music Industry Woes · · Score: 1

    Hey I wanna rock n roll all night & party every day too pal, but in order for me to afford it I have to cut back on some expenses.

    I think deciding to download songs my dad already payed for half a dozen times because some drunk chick sat on his record is a good place to start !

    You left out the important part, jackass.

  6. Re:Faraday cage on Stopping Cars With Microwave Radiation · · Score: 1

    And what if the cops are chasing someone with a pacemaker?

    I get the feeling people with pace makers generally try to avoid getting involved in highspeed chases.
  7. Re:What happens when... on Stopping Cars With Microwave Radiation · · Score: 2, Funny

    What happens when criminals get their hands on this and start disabling police cars as well? :D

    It turns into an old fashioned foot race when the '67 Camaro they're driving as a workaround runs out of gas 30 seconds later.
  8. Re:Smoking ages you on Facial Recognition Vending Machine Debuts · · Score: 1

    It's payback for when the guys slapped eachothers asses & said "Good Game !" on the way to the shower during college isn't it ?

  9. Smoking ages you on Facial Recognition Vending Machine Debuts · · Score: 1

    Don't most people who smoke look alot older than they are anyways ?

    When I was a kid & smoked, all my friends & I looked older than we actually were because we'd started smoking when we were about 13.

  10. Re:yeah? on Russian Hacker Gang Vanishes Again · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sure it does, it makes way for competitors.

    Being a botmaster looks alot like being a drug dealer, & that's what happens with drug dealers.

  11. Where'd the ideas come from ? on Non-Compete Agreement Beyond Term of Employment? · · Score: 1

    They may be "your" invention(s), but you can not deny that at least some portion of the ideas for the invention(s) were obtained from experience working with the company.

    This company has obviously been burned before, they're simply looking to ensure it doesn't happen again.

    Schedule a meeting with them & their lawyer, if you have a lawyer bring them along.
    Get the section ammended to state they're entitled to any inventions which would require any skills you would have obtained during & as a result of, your employment with them, nothing more.
    Talk with the lawyers about the exact wording that should be used.
    This would be fair for the company in the sense that you're unable to steal their business model or information that could be considered trade secrets & profit from them.
    It would also allow you to have a breakthrough in a hobby or somthing else you do outside of work & profit from it.


    I'm no lawyer, but I believe you're smart enough to get the general idea of what I'm saying. :)

  12. Re:The American educational system; on MIT Reinvents Transportation With Foldable, Stackable Car · · Score: 1

    Ok I thought about it & have come to the conclusion that if we can get more women into science we might actually have flying cars before we die.

  13. Re:So in other words... on Tools To Squash the Botnets · · Score: 1

    Aren't exploits crafted to conform to protocols though ? Seems that untill the screener knows the application can not handle certain instances of a protocol, it would assume they're safe.

    Getting installed on the system isn't the hard part, people willingly listen to Britney Spears for cryin out loud.
    Once on the system, multiple communication applications could be used to communicate from zombie to zombie. Why would anyone suspect that the random person sending them an IM was actually a front for zombie communication ?

  14. Re:So in other words... on Tools To Squash the Botnets · · Score: 1

    So we just have to randomize what the attack traffic looks like ? Doesn't sound too hard.

    Brain fart, thanks for the thorough explaination though. :)

  16. Re:Still using the power on Monitor Draws Zero Power In Standby · · Score: 1
    As soon as you mentioned

    Store enough power in a capacitor to switch a relay.
    It clicked for me.
  17. Still using the power on Monitor Draws Zero Power In Standby · · Score: 1

    Unless they are storing power that would otherwise be wasted during the active phase in these caps, I don't understand how they're supposed to make a difference in power usage.

  20. TV That does this on New Parental Controls Limit Xbox Time · · Score: 4, Funny

    Must have been 5 years ago now my buddys' stepdad had a TV that did this.
    It would just show a message on the screen that said you watch too much TV & no matter what you did you couldn't get it to go away untill the off timer was over.

    I just so happened to discover this on the day his stepdad wanted to watch a big football game, & somehow I managed to set it for the time the game was on while playing with it.

    Needless to say I didn't go over my buddys house for a few days after that.
