  1. Buckminster Fuller on Europe To Import Sahara Solar Power Within 5 Years · · Score: 0

    Time to get out that Buckminster Fuller Dymaxion electricity distribution map.

  2. Very, very funny film, unintentionally or not. on Battlefield Earth Screenwriter Accepts Razzie · · Score: 0

    I mean come on, from the writer of Robin Hood, men in tights ?!? This is the film I laughed hardest at. Is it because I'm a human rights activist and I've seen some extremely peculiar ways of "fighting tyranny" ... ? .... definitely. Memorable scenes: 1. The freedom fighters steal Harrier Jump Jets that miraculously work and have plenty of fuel. 2, The Travolta character shows off his genius for working out the humans by tracking one to find out their favourite food and witnesses him ... eating a rat ?!? Believe me if you've witnessed idiots trying to organise themselves trying to fight any kind of oppression then this film is for you.

  3. Yes, believe it or not Google cannot do everything on The Dark Side of the Web · · Score: 1

    Google has built quite an empire on making people believe that they are the defacto standard for search. They should be commended for the quality of their applications but sadly the marketing has led people astray. I actually took a trip to my local University to do some research. A day login gave me access to thousands of Scientific papers that I would otherwise have to pay hundreds of pounds for. Doing real research takes footwork and hardwork. The web can do a lot but you have to know where to look.

  4. Same old, same old on Secret UK Plan To Appoint "Pirate Finder General" · · Score: 1

    Who is this "source". Someone trying to create more hysteria ? An atmosphere where legislation can be rushed through while everyone is distracted by a false debate ?

  5. Re:They've got this one backwards. on GIMP Dropped From Ubuntu 10.04 · · Score: 1

    Yes, is Slashdot taking the boring mainstream media approach of constantly trying to whip up a shitstorm rather than actually reporting interesting news ? Ubuntu will always strip things down to provide a minimal and simple install. It's the Ubuntu style, there is nothing "dumbed down" about it. It's a sort of less is more philosophy that is aimed at first time computer users, people with disabilities and organisations and countries that want a small download and install footprint. The amazing thing about the approach is that experienced users are not left out as the huge repositories have anything a mere command line away.

  6. Lies, Damned Lies, and Doctors on A Smart Pillbox To Improve Medication Compliance · · Score: 1

    There are natural cures for Aids, Cancer, Heart Disease that save life's. This is no secret, but those natural cures won't make Big Pharma huge profits. I'm afraid this is profit above human life .. wake up folks. http://naturalnews.com/

  7. Re:militarised medicalism on A Smart Pillbox To Improve Medication Compliance · · Score: 1

    About the time they started convincing people that people die of Aids, Cancer, Heart Disease, etc, etc. Most people die of bad nutrition and from the use of these medications themselves. I wonder how many people read the warning sheet that actually comes with the medications ? Why are many people abandoning the medical system and doctors, and diagnosing themselves ? This is not dangerous ... it might just save your life.
