  1. Re:How about *asking* the user if they want to sha on Data Harvesting From a Developer's Perspective · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe that should tell you that most people *don't* want to share with you with no compensation?

    You mean CTRL-^47b ?

  3. Re:The fundimental flaw of the internet on Usenet Blocking Intensifies · · Score: 1

    I actually would disagree with this, as it is not an unrelated topic like "Hitler painted, therefore painting is bad". This is on the grounds of Hitler came to power by doing this, so beware of other people trying to do the same thing.

    Literally, as in the falsified bombing of their equivalent of congress was used to push through the Enabling Act.

    How do you expect telemarketers to know who not to call if you do not *tell* them who not to call?

    This isn't Wikipedia, and there is no requirement on Slashdot to spoon feed information. Go do your own research and refute it if you can, or Google a few variations of asbestos and mesothelioma, and you should see the crystals that destroy the macrophages are indeed specific.

  6. Re:Enter cells? So do cosmic rays... and leprechan on Nanomaterials More Dangerous Than We Think · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Asbestos is actually a great example, as there was only one specific kind that really did the damage most people think of, and the rest was hand waving similar to this. It just worked due to fears of the Jury easily being mislead by information they do not understand, which is why most of the "wins" are settelments.

    No, SPF is meant to stop from forged spam directly by not accepting mail from non authorized sources

  8. Re:Well... on Senate Passes Telecom Immunity Bill · · Score: 1

    Thats an interesting solution.

    So you think that a government bureaucracy could run things more efficiently?

    Wouldnt this affect customer service negatively? If i dont have the option of taking my business elsewhere, what incentive do they have to provide good service?

    Who determines how much to charge for the services? Perhaps you think that because its nationalized that it would be "free"?

    You must not have read my post if you are arguing any point about service. The point is not to have the goverment provide any service, in fact exactly the oposite. The point is for the goverment to provide the Connection that the service runs over.

    I would respond further, but the poster above has done an excellent job already

    Well we could start with nationalizing the infrastructure still present, and then have an open network much like the interstate system that other companies could then sell services on like phone, internet, television, etc. As a side benifit, we would then only need one connection to each home, instead of 4-5 for the different data services.

    I thought the same thing, but then again that only counts while we are using fission.

    Not so much public health and medicine, but use of anti-mosquito methods like Malathion to stop one of the nessecary incubation points in the organisms reproductive cycle.

  13. Re:Throw the bums out... on Telecom Immunity Flip-Floppers Got More Telecom Money · · Score: 1

    Plus, there are plenty of business interests which would be shut out of the political process who should have genuine reason to be involved because they would be affected by taxation and regulation.

    This is exactly the problem we have now that needs to be fixed!

  14. Re:Accountability on Telecom Immunity Flip-Floppers Got More Telecom Money · · Score: 1

    I completely disagree that line item veto is needed. You need to restrict the bill aggregation on the front end, and not give the president the power to potentially completely reshape the effect of a bill passed by congress on the back end.

    Germany felt the same way, and we had those people killed later in the Nurenburg Trials.

    Revoking the illegality of something has never been considered unconstitutional. This is just one of the few times it has been against the goverment. You wouldn't want to rot in jail for something now legal as an individual would you?

    I think you somehow missed the fact that the 2 appointees made by the current Administration were both dissenting, and that is the entirety of the appointments that have been made to the Supreme Court.

    The trick with water supply though is that it doesn't have to actually impact anything. Its completely psychological. You just have to make sure people *know* you have done something to their water.

    They didn't know till the group already had crontol. No attack group will make it that far now, with the reinforced doors and passenger agression, unless they are in the front row of the plane, and managed to smuggle on a gun, and several magazines of ammunition.

    So what you're saying is that with the sun at a low point, the fact that we have not lost overall tempature here is evidence *against* global warming?
