    true,
    but those were names that most would know.

    they are worried about Micro$oft.

  4. to paraphrase John Glen on Linux (Car) Crashes At Indy 500 · · Score: 4, Funny

    we must be gracious and magnaminous and say, damm i hate it when that happens.

    now we know how Bill Gates feels

  5. counting in binary on Top 10 Dead (or Dying) Computer Skills · · Score: 1

    when i took courses in Assembly and 370 Machine language my dad taught me to count in binary on my fingers.

  7. farmers on Ethanol Demand Is Boosting Food Prices Worldwide · · Score: 1

    the poorest people i know have been the farmers that grow corn.
    i don't mind if they make a little money off of me.

  8. Re:Different perspective on Microsoft Will Not Sue Over Linux Patents · · Score: 1

    by choosing not to inforce the patents at all, they themselves have made the patents void. they have publicly stated they are there and publicly stated they will do nothing.

    this is a good thing.

  9. killing radio on RIAA Seeks Royalties From Radio · · Score: 2

    so after they kill radio and there is no way for people to hear the new songs i guess they will be attaching the undrground/indie music scene. after all it must be their fault that no one buys any new music.

    ROTFLMAO

    you aren't kidding.

  11. back peddling on Microsoft Votes to Add ODF to ANSI Standards List · · Score: 1

    they're back peddling.

    after the all the talk over the past week about M$ and "their" patents, people are starting to remember M$ is a convicted monopolist and why.

    they have to put back on their friendly face for the press and make a good show.
    atleast until they know they have the next group in the white house bought off.

  12. no surprise on Microsoft To Dump 32-Bit After Vista · · Score: 1

    this isn't that big of a deal.

    it's like when everyone moved from 286's to 386's or vaccume tubes to intigrated circuits.
    the 32bit processor will have nitch uses(lower power requirements and apps that just don't require the horsepower), but it's days are numbered.

    some day you all will tell your kids you remember 32bit processors and they will ask to go to the science museum to see them.

  17. did they train them first? on Teachers Fake Gunman Attack · · Score: 2, Interesting

    did they train them what to do first or were they just thrown into panic with no guidence?

    did they coordinate with local law inforcement and emergency services so they knew it was only a drill and participate in the drill?

    if something like this was done right it could be a good thing, this shows none the signs of having been done right.

    wonder what would have happened if someone had been seriously injured or killed in the panic?

    no one ever took up that offer.

  24. Eta Carinae on Powerful Supernova May Be Related To Death Spasms of First Stars · · Score: 2

    in the space.com article on this they mention that our own MilkyWay has a star about to go SuperMasive Nova at any time called Eta Carinae. Eta Carinae is about 7000 light years away so they say we are safe, but the Nova from last September eventually became brighter than it's own galaxy. So what i )BÇm wondering is even if we are safe from debris from this soon-to-be nova, what about an EMP from it?
