  1. so i got an SEO phone call.... on How Not To Be a SEO Spammer · · Score: 4, Insightful

    she wanted to boast my rank on google. i asked her how she found my business number and then pointed out that someone had to google it....which means my SEO is just fine. she then hung up.

  2. Re:but why? on GCHQ Tapping UK Fiber-Optic Cables · · Score: 1

    that seems to be the most logical explanation.

  3. Re:but why? on GCHQ Tapping UK Fiber-Optic Cables · · Score: 2

    i didnt say that cant, im saying they arent. if this program was so effective they would be singing its praises nonstop, by their own admission (in the US at least, they have only prevented but stopping a handful of terror events that werent dependent on it) seems like an odd investment in the technology. you are right, you can have tools that are great at preventing crimes and the trade off is that it is an Orwellian nightmare.

  4. but why? on GCHQ Tapping UK Fiber-Optic Cables · · Score: 2

    this is what i dont understand...why is there a "need" for all of this. they arent stopping "terrorism" nor are they really using it in a way thats stopping any major crimes. dont get me wrong, i am weird and 100% opposed to all of this. but who are they protecting with all of this data mining?

  7. Re:Risk vs. Reward? on Drones: Coming Soon To the New Jersey Turnpike? · · Score: 1

    illegal to the point that you would have to have the biggest balls ever to use one. its like shining a high powered laser pointer at a police helicopter levels of stupid right there.

  8. good plan. on Belief In God Correlates With Better Mental Health Treatment Outcomes · · Score: 1

    replace one imaginary friend with another.

  9. Re:Orly? on Why Your Next Phone Will Include Biometric Security · · Score: 1

    android phones already do facial recognition, and i have seen phones with finger print readers. really this is kind of non-news.

    Sounds like what we really need is Old Glory Robot Insurance.

  11. Re:So by forced, they mean chose on UK Apple Shop Forced To Change Its Name · · Score: 0

    its a poorly written story from cnet. im not even going to bother clicking through.

    are you implying that Ke$ha is producing "art" so she deserves to make more money?

  13. Re:ARGUS-IS 1.8 gigapixel camera on Japan Launches Two New Spy Satellites · · Score: 1

    not yet...maybe in ten years. it would depend on how much data the sat could send back. pictures are easy to send back real time...but video at HD would require its own satellite. thats why you never see real time HD from the space station.

  14. Re:ARGUS-IS 1.8 gigapixel camera on Japan Launches Two New Spy Satellites · · Score: 1

    its not a 1.8GP sensor. its a 1.8GP mosaic and it looks useless the resolution of the zoomed in image is pretty shoddy, and it couldnt use things like infrared from the heights it shows it to be the most practical. it would have to fly at a fairly high altitude other wise it couldnt focus unless it had a series of HUGE lenses to help compensate . it would work with a city like new york because the image "bends" like looking through a fisheye lens...it cant see through buildings. its a cute idea, but only practical in specific situations. its cute and maybe one say it will be useful, but until the laws of physics change, its just a joke.

  15. Re:So, Appaently Dr. Church doesn't know this... on Scientist Seeks 'Adventurous Human Woman' For Neanderthal Baby · · Score: 1

    im not disagreeing with you...what i mean by it not being likely is that there will be a "public outcry" about cloning and it will never come to pass.

    good job cherry picking you info but...ftfa (that you posted)...

    The team predicts that even in a bone at an ideal preservation temperature of 5 C, effectively every bond would be destroyed after a maximum of 6.8 million years. The DNA would cease to be readable much earlier — perhaps after roughly 1.5 million years, when the remaining strands would be too short to give meaningful information.

    so its very possible...but still unlikely

  17. And on that news.... on CNET Parent CBS Blocks Review and Award To Dish Over Legal Dispute · · Score: 3

    ....I am 100% done with CNet. There "journalism" has been bad enough over the last five years, but when news cant report the news then its not even worth it. Good bye CNet, you will not be missed.

  18. Re:Ouch. on Ouya Dev Consoles Ship, SDK Released · · Score: 1

    i dont get the "box of fan" either. All your other points are a bit trolly, but the fan in a sealed box is one of the strangest things i have ever seen.

  19. Is the IEEE the new Freemasons? on IEEE Standards For Voting Machines · · Score: 1

    first off, i am against electronic voting....

    so, there was a time when the freemasons were literally the architects of america. their stamp was on everything and their influence can still be seen in many places. so now the IEEE is pretty much everywhere, finalizing most of our technology and communication standards. if you are using a device that is networked in anyway, you are under the IEEE's influence. im not saying they are actively involved in a conspiracy to control an election, but could they?

    I guess that if they could, if there was some greater conspiracy, i wouldn't be able to finish this pos

    except thats not how these implants work. the actual magnets sit just above the skin like external mounts so the only tension on the skin is from the bases of the implants.

  23. Re:The Answer on Business Cards the Latest Internet Casualty · · Score: 2

    The back of my cards have QR Codes on them...works great and i have been doing that for years...but as far as I am concerned the article is irrelevant because 90% of the people I deal with ask me for a card. And if you are in business, especially for yourself, you don't want to be caught out there without everything your clients ask for.
