    Student Charged With Flying Drone At College Football Game

    Why is it that people have been flying remote control aircraft for decades, no problem. (take a look at what's out there 7-8 foot wingspans, high speed motors, built in cameras 8mm back in the day) Now we have drones and it just brings out the stupid.

    NSA Warrantless Bulk Phone Spying Continues Unabated

    Why would they even need this? From all of the other Snowden NSA stories. Every call is already monitored by the government. Every phone has backdoors. All of the cell networks are routed through the NSA. Any information being turned over by the telecoms has already been collected 15-20 times.

    Fake Cellphone Towers Are Intercepting Calls All Over the US

    It anyone bothers to read the Popsci article (not the Business insider article that links Popsci ) you will see that they are talking about someone with a computer hooked up to some radio equipment. A virtual tower not a real 120 foot tall steel tower. The company that makes the "Fake tower...

    Chapel Hill Bans All Cell Phone Use While Driving

    Listen to a police scanner, the conversation goes something like this. "Address again please" "3129 elm" "Thank you" Now listen to someone on a cell, easy to find one, the loudest guy in the store/restaurant totally oblivious to anyone around him. "BLAH BLAH BLAH...

    Court Orders ISP To Block Grooveshark

    Umm, no it doesn't work the same way as the radio in your car. When you listen to songs on the radio the station logs what songs they play and pay fees to ASCAP, BMI or whomever administers the rights for the copyright holder. They fees are then distributed to the artists. This system was...

    So how Serious is Serious Sam 3???

    The fun in a SS game is beating the impossible challenge. As you play the game you come across areas you know you can not beat and so you die and die. After a few times you rise to the situation and eventually beat it only to walk around the next corner and see an even more insanely impossible...

    Duke Nuke Em Demo

    Not really sure how one can tell if the game is any good or not from this "demo". It was more like a first look teaser. The first level was a game being played by a character in the game, they tried to make it look like a game and went as far as to putting scan lines on the screen enhance the...

    First Review of Duke Nukem Forever

    Human vs Creature. Duke dosn't go about killing people. The life of a Space Invader isn't considered sacred. Pissing in a Space Invaders empty eye socket is sort of like pissin on a plant or a desk. As long as us earthlings don't recognize equal rights for residents of other galaxies it's...

    Duke Nukem Coming May 3rd

    Um in the demo you saw the introduction to Duke 4, they started the game with a replay of the final battle from Duke 3. Get it? Duke Forever is like a continuation of Duke 3D. Your whole point about Duke 4 being a rehash of Duke 3 with the same end boss kind of falls apart once you realize...

    Now This is What I Would Call a Cool Tool

    A song used in the 1981 movie "Super Fuzz", I last saw it in 83 and yet instantly recognized that tune.. Look for that tune to be etched in your brain for about another 30 years.
