Comment honey boo boo (Score 1) 343

This prize has become a joke. Next year just give it to honey boo boo or any old random person. It makes about as much sense. Matter of fact, next year they should pick a city that needs some 'peace' and send it up in a balloon set to pop after a 5 minute run.

Comment iphone + app (Score 1) 201

It's not designed to assist in seeing something in space as much as it is for Finding something in space. There are tons of apps that allow you to overlay a map on the sky as you hold the phone up. Great for finding the planets, constelations, ISS, etc.

I'm not going to name off any of the apps as there are dozens of them from free to cheap, I switch back and forth between them.

I agree, THIS was cruel and unusual. There are many more common sense ways to get this done.

Use the drugs we use in surgery to put the guy out then in order of how I'd want to go...

Morphine OD
Heroine OD
Cyanide
Guillotine
Firing Squad
Electric Chair

Heck, with the first two we don't have to sedate first... We just sedate them to death.

Oh, no.... I'm NOT hiding it. I throw in a mix of things they know I'm doing, and since they're smart a few things they don't yet know I'm doing. They'll eventually figure it out. They're 9 and 11 now. I periodically check their history and I'm surprised they haven't figured that one out yet. Once they start to get savvy I'll put in a transparent proxy, change the default gateway to that and have the firewall block access to anything BUT the proxy.

I do this because it's the only decent way to be successful on the non-windows devices, ipods, kindle, wii...

I use teamviewer. Free for personal use. Does what you need.

Drive my kids nuts when they're on the computer and Daddy randomly connect to see what the heck they're doing. Keeps them on their toes and off questionable sites. With the help of opendns... I'll eventually put in a proxy when they get older though. Preserving what innocence I can...
