  1. Re:Official Sophos Response. on Google Security Engineer Issues Sophos Warning · · Score: 1, Troll

    or
    4. That the OS in question is of such low quality that it requires third party band-aids to provide some level of protection against known exploits that remain unfixed for several years?

  2. Re:Reaching for paranoia on Some Smart Meters Broadcast Readings in the Clear · · Score: 1

    One nice evening, a young Egyptian lady knocked on our door and begged for money for food for her little runt in training behind her. A few minutes later, we went out, got in the car and drove off. A few minutes after that, her boyfriend climbed through a window and encoutered my personal trainer son on the inside. The boyfriend exited rather more swiftly through said window than they could possibly have anticipated. So, the mark one eyeball target scouting method is not all that reliable, but a power meter scanner would not have helped their little family enterprise either...

    "springs are going to be forming in volcanic active areas anyway, and those are going to be messing up the plates in their area, making earthquakes (even if only small ones) more common" You do realize that there is no shortage of water (hot or not) around islands in the ocean...

  11. Nutrition on Brain Scans Show the Impact of Neglect On a Child's Brain Size · · Score: 1

    More than anything, the difference is likely due to nutrition, canabinoids and opiates in the breast milk, tobacco smoke in the air and a few other minor things like attention and love...

  12. Swine flu and SARS vs Mexicans and Arabs on Designing DNA Specific Bio-Weapons · · Score: 1

    Hmm, the circles keep getting smaller, like the previous SARS that only killed Chinese, the swine flu from a few years ago, that only killed Mexicans and the current wave of SARS that is only killing Qatari Arabs.

  20. Re:Why choose to be unhappy? on What To Do With Those First Generation Photo Frames? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I have a nice Garmin GPS unit, which, after a firmware upgrade(!), is now only usable as a digital photo frame. I would love to be able to use it as a GPS unit...

  21. Any head-ache tablet works on Is Non-Prescription ADHD Medication Use Ever Ethical? · · Score: 1

    In my experience, any head-ache tablet or common cold medicine will improve your mental accuity and test scores. For example Aspirin, Codis and Actifed all helped me pass exams. The best is a combination common cold cure with a coctail of things in it. I figured that out when I noticed that I performed remakably much better in the winter exams when I was sniffeling and feeling totally rotten - so I started to take a dollop of the goop during the summer exams and it worked.
