  1. Re:FTA: on New Batfish Species Found Under Gulf Oil Spill · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Actually, I'm fairly certain that saying you are a xenophobic idiot would just about cover it.

  2. Re:FTA: on New Batfish Species Found Under Gulf Oil Spill · · Score: 1

    Not all countries use the word billion to indicate one thousand million.

  3. Re:Give up. on Getting Paid Fairly When Job Responsibilities Spiral? · · Score: 1

    Funny, the last boss who tried that line on me wanted that budget for the new gourmet kitchen he was working on. (word of advice, if you are sending secret email to the office, either assign your own email address as the postmaster, or pay for a system that doesn't break ever other day.) I left for a job with a 40% pay raise. Thei had to sell to a competitor after half of the staff followed my lead.

    Funny how two faced hypocrites like you don't have any problems with companies blackmailing theirm employees.

  5. Re:The steady slide to Police State continues on Police Officers Seek Right Not To Be Recorded · · Score: 1

    It's called small man syndrome. People who are inherent cowards like to pack guns and pretend that Rambo is real life, while those of us who have enough backbone to get around without the mechanical enhancement (i.e, old ladies, children, etc.) have to deal with the aftermath.

  6. Re:from the depends-how-you-count dept on New Estimate Suggests 5.5M Species On Earth, Not 30-100M · · Score: 1

    It's also used in a lot of those "move a bunch of pieces to solve" puzzles. that's where I first encountered it.

  8. Re:Public acknowledgement? on Judge Orders Gizmodo Search Warrant Unsealed · · Score: 1

    Well, A co-worker has a huge apple logo on his Lenovo. I guess Jobs owns that one also.

  9. Re:Public acknowledgement? on Judge Orders Gizmodo Search Warrant Unsealed · · Score: 0

    Before you can call it stolen property you need to confirm that it is actually something that was owned by the person claiming it was stolen. I don't care how over inflated Jobs's sense of self important is, if he were to call me and ask me to give him something I'd sure as hell want proof that it was his to begin with.

  10. Re:My Estimate ... on Gulf Gusher Worst Case Scenario · · Score: 1

    Real football or that funny American game?

  11. Re:saves time and money! on How Do You Handle Your Keys? · · Score: 1

    If the back door is the same brand as the front, you may be able to get a re-keying kit. They cost a lot less than replacing the locks and you can usually do the work yourself.

  12. Re:ENHANCE on Top 10 Things Hollywood Thinks Computers Can Do · · Score: 1

    You forgot to mention the first editing command that they used to start the entire chain off: UNCROP!

  13. Re:Politicizing science? on Virginia AG Probing Michael Mann For Fraud · · Score: -1, Troll

    funny how the planet hasn't stopped warming. Looks like you need to pull your head our of whoever's ass you've been brown-nosing and look around.

  14. Re:Not trying to be a troll here, but... on Rough Justice For Terry Childs · · Score: 1

    No, actually, you are just being a troll, and a fairly poor one at that.

  15. You must be an engineer of some sort. on Terry Childs Found Guilty · · Score: 1

    Lawyers hate to have engineering types on the jury. At least one side in nearly every case knows that they have squat and are going to try to BS the jury and play to their emotions. Engineering types tend to be more fact based and don't BS as easily.

  16. Re:It should read 'stoopid people hath spoken' on Terry Childs Found Guilty · · Score: 1

    IIRC he was fired and still refused to release the passwords, even under a court order. Ignoring a court order tends to upset judges.

  17. Re:really? on Hacking Big Brother With Help From Revlon · · Score: 2

    Do any of these cameras use infrared lighting? If so, you could come up with makeup that is normally invisible, but shows up just enough on the cameras to fool them.

  18. Re:For non-Canadians on Climate Researchers Fight Back · · Score: 1

    Considering your feeble attempt at associating the reporter with a pedophile instead of showing fault with the data is a good example of why your opinions are not worthy of anyone's time.

  19. Re:Are climate researchers.... on Climate Researchers Fight Back · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Funny, your opinion seems to be total bullshit. You must be afraid of having to own up to the damage you've caused.

  20. Re:False positives...? on Checking For GPL Compliance, When the Code Is Embedded · · Score: 1

    Unless they are tweaking the binaries after they are compiled, you won't really need the source code. Just compare what they have with the compiled results of whatever open source project you think is being stolen.

    Of course, there are also people who enjoy reading machine code dumps with their morning coffee. Tools like this simple help them to know where to concentrate there efforts.

    If that's all you honestly want to do with your phone, then you're an idiot to spend the money on an iPhone or any other smart phone for that matter.

    The description is just as accurate as it's ever been, which is undoubtedly why you find it's truth to be unsettling. Too bad we are not required to lie just to protect your sense of self worth.

    Teabaggers called themselves that before you were reminded as to what that really means. Now you are stuck with the more accurate description.
