Not to mention that you have to have the video card traveling at 88 MPH.

Are they sure that someone didn't spill soda pop on the lens, when they took the measurements? Hmm, this spectroscopic analysis seems remarkably like the spectrum of Pepsi.

Unless, of course, our new alien overlords also drink Pepsi!

The title sounds like another spinoff of the Star Trek TV series. Like we need another one of those....

So when can I expect to see a new Apple commercial, apologizing to the Vista guy for ripping about the lack of security of MS's operating system?

Maybe one where the Vista guy is dressed in his kingly garb, and the Mac guy bowing on one knee before him. I'd then expect the Vista guy to whack the Mac guy on the head with his scepter. Take that, Apple!

is that Ashley Grills, who wrote the actual message about the world being better off without Megan Meier, had immunity protection from being prosecuted, for testifying against Lori Drew! This woman is just as evil as Lori Drew, and should be punished as well!

I don't think this idea has been thought out all the way.

I like the idea, but for neighborhoods with association members that are not technically adept, what will they do to maintain the network? Do it themselves?? I don't think so. If they attempt it, it will be a support nightmare. If they are unwilling/unable, they will have to hire an outside person/firm to help them support the network. We already have this with ISP companies with dedicated IT support staff.

This would work with people living in the neighborhood who know what they're doing, but I don't think this will work on a wholesale basis. And God forbid I move into a neighborhood that has adequate neighbors maintaining the network, just to have them move away later, and have the neighborhood drunk take over the network administration.

Nope, didn't RTFA at all! Got that quote from the header. :)

Yeah, I didn't realize before that the patent was on a device, would have been nice if the dunderhead who posted the article made that clear. Require me to read the article? The nerve of some people!! :)

Who names their kid "Bear"??

Ah well, could be worse, I guess. Coulda named him "Chicken" or "Goat".

Since when has paying a restaurant bill with a credit card for a group been patented? Does this mean that I'm paying royalties every time I treat my friends when we go out to eat??

Separate checks, please!!

They're called infantry.

Seems like a shameless plug for Symantec to "look better" than their competitors. Crying wolf here won't get them the additional sales they think they will get.

They could have done this alot easier by performing the experiment in my back yard in January (I live in the upper Midwest).

Who is the idiot modding this as Funny? A SPICE model is an engineering tool used to diagram circuits. It is NOT related to any of the Spice Girls!!! :p

Where's the link to MetaModerate?? grrr...

From TFA:

As a user, so what if I know what the problem with my ISP's network is? I still have to call their crappy support lines, and wait the hours it takes their idiot technicians to fix the fucking problem.

Shouldn't that be Farad-squared?
