  1. Re:We are lucky...... on Colbert's Run For President May Be Criminal · · Score: 1

    coperations ARE legal human beings. look up the laws. the only difference is (not sure about the right to vote, would explain alot tho) is that they are able to be completely psychopathic and feel no remorse. i am saying that they can pollute the water, and not get in trouble, a lil fine. hell, would i get a lil itty bitty fine if i poison food and sell it on a mass scale? how about accidentally putting industrial strength cleaners in some tater chips. anyw3ay...they can do whatever they wanna. if the profits outweigh the fine, what do you think they would choose? oh, the CEO is not responsible for what the corp does either.
    the laws for 'them' are neato

    but they are right. real human beings should have no rights and cooperations should do everything. they will take care of us, with their poison foods, their total incompatance(sp), and their willingness to kill a million people for a dollar
    people are dumb, lawyers should be the only ones allowed to vote.

  2. cant you all see.. on Provider of Free Public Domain Music Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    cant you all see, it effects cooperate profits! if you want to learn anything, you must pay. if you think that song is going to help you understand music theroy better, buy it. thasts the way they want it. poor = dumb. thats the way 'they' see it.

    i was hoping for a few good links to public domain music and movies. i had no idea about the +70 years after the death thing. that is just absolutely ridicules. i mean, i9 could see 5, 10, possibly 15. not 70. that is greed, pure and simple.

    perhaps they did the same with flash as they have done with platters, they always 'hid' a few secors, or whatever thier called. so when 1 goes bad theres a spare, so you never show bad sectors. the same with the flash. 256 is all an ide can read, or sata for that matter, the drives arnt that fast yet. when thier runnin at the 800mhz bus speeds, that would be nice. till then...they use tricks

  5. silly peoples on The History of the Federal Reserve · · Score: 1

    just read the words about banking by neato dudes like tommy jefferson and ben franklin. use a silver standard. have congress print thier own money.
    the nation wasnt in debt until 1911, when the FED became a 'law'. it became a law without a 2/3 majority vote. why is it still on the books? why do people beat the IRS in cort about the illegal income tax? i mean, the constitution clearly states that the labor i produce is mine and cant be taxxed. however it is.. oh, there was no income tax before 1912 either.
    how is it the nation had no income tax, and could still afford everything. had the largest middle class in the world also.
    if you silly peoples still say the fed is a govt entity, jsut look it up in the phone book. it will not be in the blue pages. you will find it next to that other federal program...federal express.

    a silver standard is the way to go. tehre isnt enough gold around to supply the country, what we have split up evenly by 300 000 000 would be nearly nothing. but there is enough silver. i know only 1 or 2 percent of the people hold most of the money...

    another lil factoid, the value of the us dollar is 2 cents.

    everyones got a gun till the feds take em then we get tasers, for self defense. they are widely abused by law enforcement, as are other none-lethal weapons then we get the pain gun and the one that makes you feel like your on fire but they will only be used in war and to break up riots, or political rallys, or when you ask a question to a cop, or... its gettin close to the time the people need to fight back. the govt wont listen to the people the people have no choice but to listen to their rats/leaders or they will get tasered, pained, heated, bean bagged, or netted and dragged off to jail. but these 'ray guns' will only be used to break up riots. when was the last time the govt told you the truth

  7. again? on Music Industry Set To Introduce the "Ringle" · · Score: 1

    ok...does anyone else see that 99 cent for a song is over priced? when theres an unlimited supply of something, and a large demand, prices go DOWN. i think a buck a song is absurd. say, i want an Anal Cunt cd. theres 52 tracks of thier cd's. wtf would i pay 52 bucks? and whats this with ring tones? are they really that important to people? they seem excessively annoying to me. while standing in line at the movie theater i dont want to hear an 8 bit version of...well, anything released in the last 10-15 years.
    as for the single with a ring tone, the catch phraze 'ringle', i think the exec's of the music industry (all 4 companies are doing it at he same time, so much for competition) should rethink what a cd costs. look at the extra money the populas has, maybe to thwart piracy, they should better police the internet, shut down all p2p, all irc, all usenet, all soulseek servers, and all sites that have music playing, like, myspace and other social netwerking sites. or, lower the price. i think the later would be more cost effective. but what do i know, im not a republican.
    1 trillion to heavely police everyhting, or make less of a profit by lowering prices.

    tuff choice

    music is over priced. their not going to bend to the will of the people, they have more money than all the people. we jsut dunt have to spend a dime on em.

    everyone should only buy used cd's (the industry gets notta for em) and indipentant labels. tho the music industry owns something along the lines of 1000 diff labels, hard to tell indi from the corporate indi recycled trash.

    i cant believe they think raising the prices and offering a crappy ring tone would make people buy it. tho it will be on the shelf for years to come, and the 10 year old now that doesnt listen to music will see that on the shelf in 3 years, and think thats normal, and worth the value of 7 bucks.

    lets bash the movie industry next!

  8. yer never gonna get it on Toshiba Boosts Hard Drive Density By 50% · · Score: 1

    they wont release a solid state drive for a long long time,m for several reasons. its fast, efficient, and could be cheap if mass produced. the drives we have now arnt as reliable, hence we need to keep buying them to replace the ones that have died. how many solid state ones would be bought? a 1 TB ssd drive would hold me for a long long long time. but as it is, i need to keep buying drives cause they keep dieing. as for the police uses, ssd would be bad, hard to read deleted stuff off it. there might be a shadow in ram of what was once written. with a platter, the shadow will be tehre even after 10 times of 0 writing the drive. we wont see solid state for home use for a long long time tick

  9. usenet-ftp-irc-email-? on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    I prefer software that takes as little hard drive space and RAM as possible.

    noone has mentioned usenet (atleast when i loaded this page this mornin).

    what bout xnews? doesnt need install, jsut extracted. can rebuild all indexs if jsut the exe is there. that and stunnel are neato :)9i havent seen anything in the way of FTP cleints either. FXP works great for my needs, small n fast. only have to wait for that 'buy me window or be stuck with the fully functional trial!' window to disappear. what bout irc? mirc has become pussified. there anything out there small friendly and scriptable?
    noone mentioned telnet clients either. i mean, this is /. right? usenet, ftp, irc, telnet, and noones even mentioned these things?

    broswers will be memory hogs. i dunt like seeing firefox eating 800 megs of rams. but sincei have the ram, i do like using it.
    distributed.net has a client that is much m,uch faster than seti crap or the like. distributed cracking of encryption schemes.
    i have had news rover running for over a month and only using 15 meg of ram, same with xnews.

    as for email, pine was nice, but soemthing had changed. i like foxmail. it does seem to be a lil kiddish/gay at first, but everything can be changed if ya know how. you have to get the language packs to read if it you dont know chinese. its small, doesnt need install, it works as any ware should.

    xnews is dead :(
    long live xnews

    saw one post talking of the drivers for mice by logitech...
    who uses anything them hardware comp0anies make? 3rd party stuff is usually smaller n faster and has more options. seems hardware companies only want to slow down what you jsut spent a month saving for. like western digis hard drive safe thingy. slows the whole system down, gobs of proc n ram. same with asus mother board monitor thingy, not the mother board monitor used by many other systems. i forgot what it was called, since i saw how it lagged my pc down when i installed thier stuffs. i since then changed 80% of my stuffs to 3rd party.

    if thres any other small fast email ftp usenet or telnet clients, id liek to hear of em.

    oh, theres FDM, freedownloadmanger.com people on broadband dont really need something like this i spose, but great for dialup. it does call home, but that can be turned off. never had a failed dl with it.

    welp, thats my 2 cent on what small shits i like. i think i just let all kinda law enforcement know what i have installed on my machines.

    i think all of you did also

    soemone mentioned an AV that they dont have to mess with. i like kaspersky. all others seemed to only act like they were doing something. norton wont letyou remove an infected file. mcaffee is the same (own3d). i hae tried AVG, but it likes causing errors and random reboots. so far kaspersky has only dont what its sposed to. its like a ware, but its too big, and its functional. the scan could be faster tho

    i agree, been doing that over a year, same with dvd's and alot of software. then i read an artical about the RIAA trying to get its greasy mitts on used cd's and apply a tax on them, making them jsut as costly as the new ones. one day, as NOFX says, the dinosaurs will die, and ill jsut be happy to watch them go. as for the judge, the are supposed to be neutral, and work for the constitution (or whats left of it, its jsut an old piece of paper anyway...). equal rights n such. i do have to agree that something copyrighted shouldnt be made available to share. does that mean anyone with music or a movie on their computer should be arrested/sued? cause most people are running windows, and its not exactally hard to get access to a windoze box. should anyone that leaves their front door unlocked on thier way to work be arrested for making their house available to burglerize(sp) ? should i be arrested for coping a song off a cd and giving it to a friend? i remember doing this in grade school. noone was screaming about it being illegal then. i rmemeber coping movies with 2 vcr's, noone said anything bout illegal then. now that its digital, its illegal? someone needs to get a grip! make the music worth my money, make the movies good, make me want to give you my money. then ill buy new, not second hand. when they finally get a tax thru to used stuffs, ill stop buying stuff altogether i have no sig!

  11. Re:Headline? on Verizon vs. the Needham Fire Department · · Score: 1

    Is this even worth being on Slashdot? Employee screws up, causes problems. International news?

    is anything?

    verizon seems like its trying to change the definition of what a fire is. a brick of uranium falls on a house and incinerates everything within a mile radios, this is not a fire, but it burned things. or a gas mail explodes burning down a neighborhood, but that wasnt a fire, cause the flames only lasted 2 seconds.
    also, verizon cannot be at fault, if they are, they have to pay damages. they can talk thier way out of forgetting to get a map of the area, jsut as in many states, you need detection equipment and need to scan the area even if you have a map. but they can wiggle outta that. its easier changing the definition of 'fire' so they dont have to worry about this again. other huge utilities (in my state its a utility) would appreciate this also.

    thats my 2 cents
    i trust verizon as far as i can throw them
