    It's good to see that when they aren't busy making draconian filters and firewalls that they are doing something useful with their time.. Tai Chi robots. Sweet...

  6. Re:We have two problems. on India's Bargain Supercomputer · · Score: 2


    1) Lower population density.

    Umm.. Canada has ~30 million people in a country larger in landmass than the US. Granted most of those people live within a few hundred km of the Canada/US border.

  7. Open source hero weenie. on Linus Is A Hero · · Score: 2


    I want the pattern to his superhero outfit released so I can see how I stack up.

    Hitler killed people that he deemed un-productive or a hinderence to society as well.

    Yes he did, of course he wasn't the only one throughout history to do so. You get more reaction by playing "the Hitler card" though.

  16. Re:Very Cool on New Stem Cell Source - Your Bone Marrow · · Score: -1, Troll


    Now we can stop fucking around with nature killing pre-babies left and right.

    They should use aborted Down's Syndrome fetuses. That rids society of non-productive consumers and has the added benefit of giving stem cells to needy, hard working taxpayers.

  17. Re:Replacement on New Stem Cell Source - Your Bone Marrow · · Score: 0, Troll


    Would this be able to replace getting stem cells from Fetuses?

    Yes, but it's a lot less fun getting it from marrow.

    .. from my cold, dead hands!

  19. Re:difference on Spam Blocking Engine for OpenBSD · · Score: 5, Interesting


    Can anyone explain why you wouldn't just use SpamAssassin?

    Once the spam is in your system then your bandwidth, disk space and other resources have already been consumed by the spammer. This prevents the spam from ever coming into your network and put the burden of the load back on the spammer's shoulders.

    Damn fine work.

  20. Re:SPAM? on Spam Blocking Engine for OpenBSD · · Score: 3, Insightful


    Spam is annoying, but it isn't that big of a problem that we need Slashdot posts every day about it..

    Annoying to the end-user, yes. To an ISP or firm with a large mail server it is more than that. Spam fills disks, uses bandwidth, wastes employees' time, etc etc. This is a super idea.

  24. Max Planck wasn't so smart.. on 100th Anniversary of Quantum Physics · · Score: 0


    .. why didn't he use a computer instead of a chalkboard? That would have saved him a lot of time. But "Nooooo"; Mr. "Oh look at me, I'm Max 'Smarty Pants' Planck" played the waiting game like a run of the mill academic or government employee.
