After reading through this gentleman's site, I think the post over here on /. should be renamed "Guy on internet who complains a lot complains about one more thing." Seriously, with gems like "I’m quite glad that radios in the workplace have largely been replaced by headphones." and subject's like "Talk to your children about their shitty taste in music." merely posting this over here is troll feeding. If we were to replace the summary as well I would do it with the classic "Old man yells at cloud" image.

In the title it's "Standard Kilogram Gains Weight", in the description you say "variably increased in mass". There _is_ a difference between weight and mass. I understand that the minutiae of this may be lost on you since you're sourcing articles from pop news sites. Care to update one of those to reflect on this? Is this due to the acceleration of the Earth (weight is a function of mass and acceleration)?

Let me take a moment to point out that using the wifi or atms at the hotel as well as making software updates during DEF CON all are squarely in the category of "babytown frolics".

This is actually a piss poor summary of the bill. Having contracted on a number of government sites let me say that through no attempts at such, the buildings act as Faraday cages. Anyone who read the bill would have noticed that they're talking about using femtocells to improve reception of cell phones throughout the buildings. Additionally, considering the widespread use of Blackberry devices, this would allow them to continue to the roll out of of VoIP which has been happening (at least in both Dept of Treasury and Dept of Commerce) which would lower some of the costs associated with the mobile contracts. Considering the high number of employees with these devices and at 15 million dollar price tag, I wouldn't be surprised if this produced a cost savings within 2-5 years.

make sure you get in on it now.

Problem is, dude was from UC Davis, not Cambridge.

I realize that things of this nature are becoming less and less common, but a ticket should be just that. A bearer instrument which has the ability to be transferred. Many people don't even know what a "bearer bond" is anymore and the ones who do have mainly just watched a few heist movies.

Also, isn't that ostensibly what the "ticketing fee" is for? Actually providing a ticket?

How about hitting on the bosses?

Agreed. Similarly "the new tetris" (N64) was a household classic when I lived in a group house with a dozen people fighting over the 4 controllers all night long.

nice job.

Good thing they're dropping Linux support.

Did you read the article? I mean, sure it is a cat and mouse game, autonomous system manipulation and IP based forensics goes a little beyond the "characteristics of the message".
