  1. Semi OT: Again, my condolonces... on First-Person Account Of Today's Attacks · · Score: 1, Redundant

    to all those hurt and touched by todays events. Hopefully we can start getting in there and rescuing people sometime today. Good luck and godspeed to all those helping.

  2. Re:except... on U.S. Attack -- More Updates · · Score: 1

    since when did the Jews slam planes into the most populated place in the world? I'm talking about getting rid of the people involved in what happened, not the whole country. Fucking moron.

  3. except... on U.S. Attack -- More Updates · · Score: 2

    if we DON'T get rid of them, I guarantee they will strike again. we need to strike back, fast and harshly and show that the US is not going to tolerate this any longer.

  4. I hope... on U.S. Attack -- More Updates · · Score: -1, Troll

    we turn those responsible into a parking lot. It's time to see what Bush is made of.

    My prayers go out to all those hurt in this tragedy.

  5. wind power on Update on the Kite-Obelisk Project · · Score: 2

    a largely unharnessed power, as far as alternative sources go. all that is involved is a startup cost... there's little maintenance or upkeep to them. we need more windmills, damnit.

  6. it's marky mark on Review: Planet of the Apes · · Score: 2

    what did you really expect????

  7. cold beer... on The Jet Powered Beer Cooler · · Score: 2

    this is a much better alternative to drinking bud light with ice cubes. i've seen things in grocery stores that cool a bottle of wine in 1 minute. it's just spinning water... anyone know about this?

  8. i'm a programmer... on No Shortage Of Programmers? · · Score: 2

    and i'm not short.

  9. ff the movie on More Realistic Rendered Flesh · · Score: 2

    the first time i saw the preview on TV, i thought they were real actors. i wasn't really paying much attention, and didn't think anything of it. now, this comes along... i wonder how much better it'd look in movie animations.

  10. x-33 groundbreaking technology on X-33 Venture Star Reborn as Space Bomber · · Score: 2

    i think this plane is amazingly freeking awesome. i love inventions by accidents, you know they're awesome. hey look i goofed up and now it's awesome anyways!

  11. Re:What next ? on Cross Country Solar Race · · Score: 1

    Guys from Big Oil are investing heavily in solar technology. Notice the name for the old British Petroleum/Amoco company?

    Beyond Petroleum

    I think that says it all. Sure, they still spend a lot of money on oil, but they know better than anyone that our oil WILL run out, and I guaranteed they will be prepared for it before it happens.

  12. Are you surprised??? on Deciphering Windows Product Activation · · Score: 2

    Man, is anyone really surprised that someone cracked this? It was bound to happen anyways... everyone goes out after M$. I'd be interested to know how they did it, however.

  13. no freeking way on Global Warming: Do You Believe? · · Score: 2

    I live in MN. It's been cold as hell up here this summer. It's finally beginning to warm up, in the middle of July. No warming here!

  14. i'll pay on Why Won't You Pay for Content? · · Score: 2

    Sure, I'll pay. It's just a few cents. With a big enough reader base, $1 from everybody will be more than enough to handle bandwidth costs, etc. for a year. The problem is with a lot of sites that have a young reader base... they're not ALLOWED to pay. It's not a question of whether or not it will work.

  15. not with bush in office on NASA In Financial Trouble · · Score: 2

    Yeah right, like they're going to cut the damn budget for NASA. Look who the president is. GWB. Republican. Big spender. Nuff said.

  16. Re:Is there a category for... on The Psychology of Passwords · · Score: 2

    Yeah, they're called MY BOSSES :-)

  17. Re:The Databse-market? on Red Hat Enters The Database Market · · Score: 1

    Wow, between this and "Congradulations", today has been a stellar day in the /. spelling department.

  18. Re:I know the real reason... on SETI@Home A Security Threat, Says TVA · · Score: 2

    I've had friends like that... built separate boxes out of spare parts JUST to have something to run dedicated SETI on. pretty ridiculous.

  19. better uses for AOL CDs on CD-Eating Fungus Among Us · · Score: 2

    Or, perhaps, wallpaper one of your rooms. Use them as coasters. or sliders for furniture.

    microwave them.

    use them as wheels on tiny milk carton cars.

  20. Re:How much? on CD-Eating Fungus Among Us · · Score: 2

    They make fantastic frisbees. Or, drop them onto your car antenna and watch the look on the cars behind you when they fly off and whack them on the windshield.

  21. a fungus amongus on CD-Eating Fungus Among Us · · Score: 2

    Great rhyme scheme. I'm impressed.

  22. Re:Ah, but who really cares... on Can University Students GPL Their Submitted Works? · · Score: 1

    You're absolutely right. I've taken this class, and I can asssure you that nothing even remotely useful is produced. Besides, about 50% of the code for each assignment is written by the professor anyways, not much original thought goes into it by the students.

  23. Re:UIUC intellectual property policies on Can University Students GPL Their Submitted Works? · · Score: 1

    The U of I legal sevice is actually in the Union. Fourth floor, I believe. At least it was 2 years ago when I went and used them.

  24. Re:Doggone it! on Can University Students GPL Their Submitted Works? · · Score: 1

    I know for a fact that the U of Illinois DOES offer free legal service. I've used it.

    However, they're more skilled in the alcohol laws than IP laws, I assure you. The free legal service will not be of as much help as one would hope in this situation.

  25. This doesn't really matter :-) on Can University Students GPL Their Submitted Works? · · Score: 1

    I've taken the class that the professor is teaching. Trust me, nothing that comes out of that class is WORTH GPL'ing. It's all cookie cutter, add a few lines of code into an already mostly prewritten program, type of assignment.

    On the other hand, this IS a valid question for other, higher up classes.
