@ethnt: Also: Make sure you bring a towel.

@Elliuotatar: It's not so much that it's illegal, as impractical. After all, this is government we're talking about here; they control the licensing of the airwaves, so if they wanted to jam a frequency, the could. The problem arises, however, of how do you block said frequency ONLY in the prison and not the…

He talks about how great the images are and how hi res and professional, yet the video is only avialable in 480? WTF NASA?

I'm getting a Canon EOS 30D, and am wondering if there's a good way to set up a remote shutter. Thanks.

@bigray327: And how long do you think it would have lasted 10 years ago?

@Ham_Sandwich: Just remember: IP-63 means it keeps out dust and a splash of water, but cannot be immersed in water.

@jpresson1: Several states have laws limiting exactly that. They're called Son of Sam laws: [en.wikipedia.org]

@testrack: Yeah, I realize it's a kid and I know what he did. I'm not saying he should go to jail for 40 years for it, but he should be punished. He certainly should not be allowed to sell the rights to his story and make thousands if not millions of dollars for doing something illegal, which was my original point. …

@bi1yeu: Maybe it's because there are better ways to voice your displeasure with a corporation. Like canceling your MasterCard, or not using PayPal for online transactions.

@PJ Edwards: No. BS. This kid deserves every minute of jail and every penny of fines he gets. If you're going to do something stupid and illegal, then you shouldn't be allowed to profit from selling your story.

@RacecarBoobTat: My advice: don't play this game on the toilet.

@matttrick: Yes, but they've got platinum plated connectors, which everyone knows is better at conducting signal than gold, because it's more expensive, but totally worth the cost. And the low-oxygen copper wire means that it won't transmit as much flux from the receiver to the flux capacitors in the TV, which means…

@monkeybusiness: My TV is an LCD, which is better because I don't have to get it recharged every 3 years. The Geek Squad guy at Best Buy told me that plasmas run out of fuel after a few years and it's really expensive to recharge them.

@Dr. Nemmo:

@fooogama: Dude. It's a Michael Bay film. If you start thinking about all the things that are factually wrong and physically impossible, it will cause a hemorrhage in your brain and blood will shoot out your ears. Your head may explode like Scanners. Just let it go.

@Tim Gee: Good point, but do you really think that said community of developers will spend the time to look through this particular piece of software, considering that it is designed to do something malicious and illegal in the first place?

"But because the LOIC client is open source, the chances that a virus or backdoor into a user's own system could be a hidden payload is minimal."

@etaylor3971: Well, obviously you need to clean the roaches out of her router. Didn't you read the comic?

@I see the light. It burns!: Netflix has a great deal of History Channel and Discovery content streaming already, including Mythbusters, Nat Geo TV, and Hoarders, among many others. What are you waiting for?

@bender123: Q: My reentry parachute will not deploy.
