  1. Re:Microsoft best innovation. on Bill Gates's The Road Ahead, 15 Years Later · · Score: 5, Funny
    It looks like you're trying to write a snarky comment about Microsoft. Would you like to:

    - Make references to the instability of the operating system

    - Discuss alternate software or operating systems that may be more functional

    - Spell Microsoft with a dollar sign

    Dude, you're saying this in the middle of the largest financial crisis ever. Hollywood goons look like amateurs compared to Goldman Sachs.

    I say it's more translucent than clear. It's not quite present either, but you could say it's coming soon....

  8. Public interface on Project-Natal-Style Interface For Mobile Phones · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This would be pretty cool to slap into some public use areas like train stations, airports, movies, etc... Half the touchscreens I've used in public areas are always broken(or half working) after a couple years from people pounding on the screen when it won't respond. Slap a piece of plexiglass in front of it that you can replace when it gets damaged, saves the expense of a whole new touchscreen.

    That sounds more like a "brown" initiative.

    ....and the financial implosion that was a direct result of Republican lassaiz-faire bank regulation (and which the Republicans are trying to continue today by filibustering any meaningful bank reform).

    If you think the economic downturn is solely a Republican problem, you really need to get out more. I won't deny the harm Bush caused, he was a moron to the highest degree. But to place the blame on any one party is foolish at best.

    The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, signed by Clinton and proposed by Phil Gramm(R), allowed commercial banks, investment banks, securities firms, and insurance companies to consolidate. Without it the disastrous derivatives mess could not have happened, because regulated banks with access to The Fed window, not to mention FDIC depositor protection, could not have engaged in derivative trades. GLBA was nothing more or less than a license to loot this nation.

    One example of many. You're getting screwed no matter which side of the coin is face up.

    There are some positive side effects, such as the dishes are washed in half the time and meal time means twice the number of sandwiches made. Hopefully with extra bacon. However, one should have access to alternate housing should the two menstrual cycles overlap.

    They'll probably do the same thing the all the Democrats did in 2004 when Bush was elected a second time. Research a few hours on the internet about living in another country and daydream about how awesome it would be.

    I started purchasing Windows with 1.04, and started using it with 3.0.

    What are we going to do with the waste? Don't know. What should we be doing with the waste? Reprocessing it like everyone else in the civilized world already does.

    If we can't reuse the waste due to our laws, why don't we just sell it? If it's valuable enough to reuse as you say, then other countries would want to buy it. Two problems solved, we make money, the waste is shipped out of our country.
