I remember something Carl Sagan said...something along the lines (paraphrased) that the scholars at Alexandria questioned the movement of the stars but not of social conventions like slavery. The machines they made were made for the amuseme

No matter how they carve it up, I feel like a fool. It still comes to ~$1000 a year for a smart phone, this one or another. It makes me think I should wait a couple of years for data plans to come down in price as voice and SMS plans have d

I guess the plastic logic reader will have competition after all. I could use something like this. I'm annoyed, though, that all of them insist on being a networked device. I really just want a miniature flash drive that displays files.

It's absolutely a game. I spent most of my college years doinking around with hacker wargames and trying to hack kernel code, albeit not well. I didn't get graded on that but rather on how well I could put together a resume or whatever. I r

And if I'm not a criminal, I shouldn't be treated as such. It's a tad selfish, if you don't mind me saying, of you to automatically assume it's OK to give away my rights in addition to yours.

What about my underpants? I could hide a usb key in there with vital information. Since I'm bringing my own personal underpants can they search it to?

On the plus side, if aliens like these ever do show up it's because they genuinely have our interest at heart or they want something but not something they can just take -- leverage on our part -- which for them, would be easy. Also good, t

I graduated with a CS degree from a random not-in-California university. It depends on the development environment of the company. I did a lot of systems programming and eventually earned the attention of a company that did hire me. They us
