  1. Re:I knew it on James Lovelock Suggests Suspending Democracy To Save the World · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Agreed with ickleberry

    The original post can do with his Democracies whatever he wants as long as he leaves my Republic alone.

    Democracy = Rule of the majority over the minority
    Republic = You're free as long as you don't affect my freedom.

  2. Re:Well... on Opting Out Increases Spam? · · Score: 2, Informative

    The jury is still out on this one. I opted in a free report by Bob Allan (sp?), the real estate guru, and I got a slew of unwanted email by dozens of different companies from all over the US over the next few weeks. I opted out every single one of them, and still more are coming. The spam volume is decreasing thankfully. They look semi-compliant with the CAN-SPAM. I suspect I would get more spam if I didn't opt out. So these guys are just overzealous marketers, and not blatantly brute force spammers... oh well.

    What else could needles do other than shift energy? The surgeon's knife only shifts the mass. Mass=energy, by Einstein. Capish?

    sounds to me like a version of Reiki

  6. Re:Unfortunately... on Ron Paul Spam Traced to Reactor Botnet · · Score: 1

    Actually, US Fiscal policy is like a narcotic -- saving problems by printing money.

    Ron Paul is against such nonsense and for a sensible and responsible fiscal policy.

    The only reality you will face if Ron does not get elected is more of the same,

    and the bigger and bigger government limiting your freedoms even more.

  7. Re:Risk my ass! on Ideas For Your Next Tech Startup · · Score: 1

    Risk THIS!

    >The venture capitalists will never ever face a >poor day in their lives. These folks will never >have to worry about their mortgages no matter >how badly the market falls.

    That totally depends on how well they manage
    their risks. They can lose their shirt too.

    >The people taking risks are your overworked IT >employees. Look at your boss the wrong way and >you are out on the street. Have you business get >bought out and while the owners are flying their >golden parachutes, you are wondering where your >next paycheck will come from.

    That is because these people are mismanaging
    their risks. If you are unwilling to start your
    own business, you are at risk of somebody
    cutting your paycheck off on a moment's notice.
    Your choice.

    >People don't become wealthy by taking risks. >They become wealthy by figuring out ways to make >lesser folks assume those risks instead.

    And who exactly are the "lesser folks"? Persons
    unwilling to start their own business? Unwilling
    to take THAT risk? Oops... maybe then they
    are not taking the smart risks! But the silly
    ones!

    I guess you'll just have to stay in your
    job and continue complaining.....

  8. Re:What about 2.95.3? on Red Hat Linux 7.1 Release Announcement · · Score: 1

    Let me second guess this! I am convinced there will always be distributions that put terms like USEFUL, BACKWARD COMPATIBLE, etc ahead of "STANDARDS COMPLIANT".

  9. What about Ricochet? on Qualcomm Demonstrates 153 kbit/s cellular · · Score: 1

    Does anyone have an opinion about how Metricom's Ricochet stacks up with Qualcomm? Especially in terms of coverage schedules for Qualcomm versus Metricom. The latter is supposed to have 100 million of US population covered sometime next year with G3. How about Qualcomm?

  10. Re:SiS 6326 on XFree86 3.3.6 released · · Score: 1

    This is exactly how far I got with this graphics card too. Nobitblt option with SiS 6326 makes my Linux XFree86 run _a lot_ slower than the Windows 98 on the same computer. If somebody manages to get the Sis6326 perform well under 3.3.6, please post here, otherwise I'll do it. I'd rather be on the leading edge than on the bleading edge. Thanks.
