  1. Re:How Sad... on Arlington National Cemetery's Many IT Flaws · · Score: 1

    The US can't even take care of our vets when they are alive. How do you expect them to care when a vet dies?

  2. View Picture. on How Sperm Whales Offset Their Carbon Footprint · · Score: 1

    I'm afraid to look at the picture. Is it of the whale or samzenpus and his can of chili at the beach?

  7. OLPC for Haiti on OLPC's XO-3 Prototype Tablet Coming In 2010 · · Score: 1

    A bit off topic. The OLPC folks are looking for donation of the OLPC-1 for use in Haiti. Check out http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_for_Haiti for details.

  8. $93,000 for the treatment on FDA Approves Vaccine For Prostate Cancer · · Score: 3, Funny

    Dendreon said Thursday the drug will cost $93,000 per patient. Their stock was up today.

  9. Tinhat solution on What Happens When IPv4 Address Space Is Gone · · Score: 1

    I can't believe the DHS hasn't required IPv6. Then they could require every computer to have a unique address tied to a unique person or physical address. What better way to catalog where everybody is when you need to look them up.

  10. Re:Privacy on Google Street View Logs Wi-Fi Networks, MAC Addresses · · Score: 1

    Except for me and my monkey.

  11. payback on Group Calls For Google Antitrust Probe · · Score: 1

    If you want to start a revolution, get one of these to sew a shirt.

  16. Pull Their Patents on The Short Arm of the Law · · Score: 1

    Go ahead and try them. If convicted, pull their patents and let other companies provide the product.

  17. Re:WTF? on 10% Tax On Custom Software, $100M Tax Cut For Microsoft · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You understand this is the state of Costco, Amazon, MS and Boeing. Big box is what we do.

  18. Google Street View on Photoshop CS5's Showpiece — Content-Aware Fill · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Sounds like something Google Street View could use to remove people from their views and make them more acceptable.

  19. Re:Reading the disk will be tricky. on Need Help Salvaging Data From an Old Xenix System · · Score: 1

    Ah, I remember the Tandy Model 16 with two Floppy disks running Xenix. I used to upgrade them to the 10Mb hard drive. It took 2hrs to format. At $90 and hour plus travel time. Those were the days.

    It keeps the religion profession going.

    Same thing works in the Baptist Churches. Hence all of the varieties of Baptist Churches.

    Who knows what the 4th Amendment means anymore? With this Supreme Court any Constitutional Law you may have learned is useless.
