  1. Call the *AA? on Comcast Says FCC Powerless to Stop P2P Blocking · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The Federal Communications Commission has made clear, Cohen writes, that cable service is not a common carrier and therefore is not subject to common carrier guidelines.

    So that means they're responsible for what passes over their lines, right? Gonna be interesting.

  2. Re:Talk about dumb on MIT Student Arrested For Wearing 'Tech Art' Shirt At Airport · · Score: 1

    The flashing Leds. It's a movie trope for godsake!

    Being in plain view.

    The back of her shirt showing she's a techie of sort. They should have seen that when she turned around.

  6. Re:Hang on a Minute... on Humans Can Still Out-Bluff Machines · · Score: 1

    I've given it 3 tries and I've gotten: 1. W30% L30% T30% with just randomly hitting the buttons. 2. W35% L30% T35% taking long streaks (3-4)of the same item and then changing rapidly followed by long streaks. 3. W40% L30% T30% Realizing the thing makes the optimal choice based on my past choices so I picked the one that would beat the optimal choice. It's flaw seems to be it's predictability but this still is a rather small sample.

  7. Re:"Warriors for Innocence"? on Mass Deletion Leads To LiveJournal Revolt · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up. I was about to ask the same qeustion.

  8. So what if. I... on TiVo Awarded Patent For Password You Can't Hack · · Score: 1

    So what if I record the password for X challenges and then reset the hardrive to start again with the first challenge? So what if I force feed the chip challenges until it spits out the full cycle and feed this stock pile of correct answers to the hardrive? INANAC.

  9. Re:RTS on Long Range Eye Tracking for Advertisers · · Score: 1

    One thing I can't explain is how the military uses eye tracking to aim missiles -- it seems like that system would run into the same problems.
    Don't they use the position/orientation of the HUD for that? The little glass projection screen is right in front of the eye and already displays the tactical info that can be seen there. INAMS.
  10. The lesson of today... on DMCA Takedown Notice For a Fake ID · · Score: 1

    ...when you get a fake idea, get one with a fake name.

  13. Flexible Theory on String Theory Put to the Test · · Score: 1, Funny

    Wasn't string theory compared to C? A horribly complex construct that could be made to match any of the customers problems (test results) no matter how complex?

  14. Re:Doting on the iPod on New iPod Owner Onslaught Overwhelms iTunes · · Score: 1

    No love for obscure humor. from Dictionary.com: dote 2. to show a decline of mental faculties, esp. associated with old age. Just for everybody who didn't get the original joke.
