VA, DOD, Energy Dept, and now NASA. Nothing like a massive, unaccountable bureaucracy to give data away that we expect to be handled property. Sad part is I doubt anyone will even get yelled at let alone fired for incompetence.

Disney has had a single pedal for decades, you push it down and you go, you let up and you stop. Even with that people still can't drive on a closed course with a fixed guide. Technology can't fix drivers who aren't mentally behind the wheel. Build something idiot proof, we build a better idiot!

He must be a lefty.

DkzFirst, there is no way they have the real deal on a computer, much less connected to a network that would be just being dumb. I'm sorry to say, but what they are after is to know HOW this guy did it, and I guess that they might want to punish him to heal their EGO. I'm sorry for all the...

I know, nose bleed high-end audio seems weird to those who haven't heard it. A properly set player, even an inexpensive one, your are missing out. I don't have one right now but if I had the money I would. Besides record players have visual style too, something digital lacks. And for those who...

televrJust as Obama signs the Freedom of Press Act. In plain EnglishI guess that means journalists are really stuffed deer, now. KelavarusGood job reading what country the man is in. Looks to me like he was pointing out our current similarities with the Aussies. BTW Obama's new Finance Bill...

Dirtman73That would all be fine and dandy if it weren't for the fact that Comcast usually works on a contract basis with city and municipal governments. You missed the point all we will get with this is more of the same. All the Feds will do is replicate what the cities are doing. If...

Looks so new but it isn't that much different than what Walt Disney, you know from Micky Mouse, had proposed for Los Angeles in the 50s.

This is strange coming from the administration calling internet service a "right", which its not. They plan on spending OUR billions from new taxes on services we use. Then disconnect their users? I'm not for piracy but we are not a SOCIAL democracy like France and our Fed Gov has no business...

There are a number of variables that impact speed so any number, high or low, may or may not be the ISP's fault. When I lived within 2 miles of my provider, and living around mostly much older people not stressing our branch, the generic plan provided me better results than friends with the...

"the super-efficient quadruple luminous efficiency technology" I love reading Japanese tech marketing. What the hell does it mean? Next time I need to do some creative writing I know where I'm going for ideas! Don't think I can sell the wife on this one...

Talk about an invasion into your life. Think of what the ISPs will have to do. All the data they will have to keep about where you have been going. Big Brother in the extreme. If the Chinese and Russians are out what purpose does this legislation provide other than to monitor everything you...

I frequently have problems with Firefox 3.5 it has trouble rendering a page if left open too long. I like it but its not flawless. Chrome is quicker its ok. I still have to use IE8 for certain sites. IE8 takes too long to open up but then it's fine. Safari is mediocre on windows. They all have...

Anyone who can afford this and there are plenty, those who will buy it and there are some, it's a status symbol. I'm sure they have buyers lined up. It's price/performance is ridiculously beyond the point of diminishing returns. It goes to show money is relative. But some of the comments are...

it's the fact that they collect this information and have to make it available to the government and/or law enforcement when requested It's not that easy, my sister is a 911 operator in a large city and she says it's nearly impossible to get any information from any of the phone companies even...
