  1. Re:You forget the evil bit. on Creepy Windows XP Halloween mask · · Score: 1

    Yeah, just don't cross the multinet streams.

  2. Re:Inflatable? on Inflatable Private Space Station Launched · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and the Earth orbits the sun at 66,671 MPH, and the Sun orbits the center of our galaxy at 517,500 MPH. Watch out!....

    Actually, objects at the same orbital distance travel at the same velocity. So, even though, 17,500 MPH sounds fast, you would be going the same speed as the debris in the same orbit. The closer you get to the Earth, the faster you have to go to remain in orbit, therefore if you go to slow you fall out of orbit (if you go too fast you break orbit). What you really have to worry about is debris falling out of orbit (debris travelling too slow) and objects not in orbit that are moving fast. Oh yeah, there is some radiation to worry about too. I din't read the article, but if you were worried about falling orbital debris, you could also go higher than the space shuttle.

  3. Re:Whats the problem? on ABC Wants DVR Fast Forwarding Disabled · · Score: 1

    As long as they don't disable rewind, I can always get up, do other things, and rewind to the end of the commercials when I get back. But guess what, I won't rewind to watch the ads I missed because I wouldn't want to sit through ads I don't care about, especially when I didn't watch them in the first place. The result, less commercials watched. I do this same thing now when I watch live TV on my Tivo.

  4. As a fan of South Park, I'd like to say... on Enron's Kenneth Lay Dies · · Score: 1

    Oh my God, you've killed Kenneth...
    You, uh, well, non-bastards?!

  5. In NH ALL parties must consent w/audio recording on NH Man Arrested for Videotaping Police · · Score: 1

    He was charged with violating statute 570-A, a class B felony dealing with wiretapping and eavesdropping. In NH, all parties must consent to audio recording. See http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/lviii/570 -a/570-a-mrg.htm for details about the statute. From the statute:

    I. A person is guilty of a class B felony if, except as otherwise specifically provided in this chapter or without the consent of all parties to the communication, the person:
    (a) Wilfully intercepts, endeavors to intercept, or procures any other person to intercept or endeavor to intercept, any telecommunication or oral communication; :
    (b) Wilfully uses, endeavors to use, or procures any other person to use or endeavor to use any electronic, mechanical, or other device to intercept any oral communication when: :
    (1) Such device is affixed to, or otherwise transmits a signal through, a wire, cable, or other like connection used in telecommunication, or...:

    I may not agree with the charges, the officers behavior, or the statute, but legally NH may have a case against him. I don't know if he could argue that by stepping on a the porch, the officer consented to being audio recorded by reading a sign. It would be intersting to hear an acutal lawyers opinion. The detectives may even try to use these charges to try and get him to co-operate reguarding his son.

    P.S. I am not a lawyer, but I did play one in mock court once in High School:)
