  1. Re:Business opportunity on Diebold to Withdraw from E-Voting? · · Score: 1

    Buy the company.
    Review the source code and as many machines as you'd like.
    Prove/Disprove tampering.
    ...
    Profit!

  2. Obvious solution... on Hitachi's Tiny RFID Chips · · Score: 2, Funny

    Jump in the microwave for three minutes!! Just make sure that your eyes don't start on fire.

  3. Re:Not good..... on Drugs Eradicate the Need For Sleep · · Score: 5, Funny

    And yet we snore, toss and turn, twitch, and sometimes talk in our sleep. Nothing says easy meal more than a loud unconscious mammal.

  4. Re:What about non-upgrades..? on Vista to Allow "One Significant" Hardware Upgrade · · Score: 1

    I consider nuking my computer almost more important as my yearly visit to the doctor or dentist. You're never sure exactly what was going wrong with the computer but you know for damn sure that it runs better afterwards. Install process got a lot faster thanks to ghost and a Tb.

  5. Sharing? on Canadian Music Industry Says Downloading Declining · · Score: 3, Insightful

    With the availability of large external storage, did anybody talk about sharing? You don't need to download something when you can go over to your friends' house and leave with a copy of it.

  6. Re:DMCA on DVD Jon's DoubleTwist Unlocks the iPod · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the limiting of consumers' ability to listen, in private, to what they've legally acquired on whatever device they choose a violiation of the copyright act?

  7. Prevent destruction with destruction on U.S. Announces New Space Security Policy · · Score: 1

    Why don't we just destroy everything that has the possibility to be used against us. You know those pesky satellites are just waiting for us to turn our heads and then they'll crash down on us!! Quick send up millions of steele marbles into orbit to make sure that nothing up there will survive to do harm to anyone ever again! Insert maniacal laugh here.

  8. Illegal? on Battlefield 2142 to Bundle Spyware? · · Score: 1

    Isn't spyware illegal or am I thinking of Malware? Either way it's not good.

  9. What came first? on French Scientists Link Higher BMI with Lower IQ · · Score: 1

    So when you eat a lot do you become dumber or do stupid people eat a lot?

  10. Force Feedback on Teen Plays Videogame With Brain Signals · · Score: 1

    Imagine the possibilities, and/or the problems, with force feedback. Virtual reality would have nothing on that!

  11. Re:No thanks on HP's Memory Spot Chip · · Score: 1

    Night vision amplifies light that already exists.

    You can't see something when light is void.
    You can't get information out of a chip when power is void.
    Your sceam can't be heard when the medium is void.

  12. Re:No thanks on HP's Memory Spot Chip · · Score: 1

    You're a bit incorrect with your analogy. This is more like a flashlight than your glasses. With these you still need to power them so the power source needs to be within a certain distance. If you hold a flashlight a foot away from what you're looking at you can see it bright as day but if the light is 100 yards away it doesn't do much good.

  13. Re:Get it through your think head: on Will the Next Election Be Hacked? · · Score: 1

    [sarcasm]
    Those terrorists!! They should be locked away for an indefinate length of time in an undisclosed location without the availibility of due process! Then there won't be any more rioting and we'll all be safe.
    [/sarcasm]

  14. Re:refused to be terrorized on Bruce Schneier Blasts Politicians, Media · · Score: 1

    Just wondering... Do you think that it is possible for a State to sue the Federal Government for infringing on their citizens' rights (warrentless wiretaps - 4th Amendment) because the 14th Amendment says that States shall not enforce any law that infringes on the rights of a citizen?

  15. Robots are easy, people are not on The Question of Robot Safety · · Score: 1

    I work in the industrial automation field where daily programming, if done incorrectly, can have very serious consequences - machinery ripping itself apart or worse as in this case. Safety is now becoming a booming market where companies are investing heavily because of the utter cost of an injury. It is unfortunate in this particular case that a life was lost but this is a text-book example of what an automation systems integrator must keep in mind when designing an industrial system. You'd think that building a fence with interlocked safety gates around a piece of machinery would be enough to keep workers out while operating however, unfortunately no matter how smart you build a machine you will always find a person that will find a way around it. The real sad part is that the company that designed, built and commissioned this machinery will end up getting sued because they did not take into consideration that an employee might climb over the fence.

  16. Re:Net Neutrality Makes Sense on Coalition Sounds Off on Net Neutrality Legislation · · Score: 1

    I guess the super rich are tired of having to share the same space as everyone else. This is the first time everyone has been equal and they can't handle it.

  17. Re:Let it be said... on States Seeking Levies on Digital Downloads · · Score: 1

    Why can't we do a vote of no confidence like Canada did just a short while back? That way we can get rid of every Washington politician and hopefully get an average Joe in there; the way the country was first run.
