  1. Re:this is nothing new on Anti-Muni Broadband Bills Country Wide · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I'm not from the USA though, so I lack that "Sheriff and a saloon and many guns!" kind of view on individual liberty as opposed to colective beneficts dispensed by the Government.

    Wow, that has got to be the scariest mind set I have ever read. Welcome to 1984, The government KNOWS what's best for you. You have no desires that are not prescribed by your direct officials. Hey, it's a brave new world.

  2. Re:I'm not sure if I'll ever understand this on Anti-Muni Broadband Bills Country Wide · · Score: 1

    Try to name three things the Government does good. Not merely acceptable at a high cost to the tax payer, but actually good.

    And no growing in power, control and bureaucracy is not good(tm).

  3. Re:this is nothing new on Anti-Muni Broadband Bills Country Wide · · Score: -1, Troll

    No, Government is always bad, business is usually bad. If you have a choice of 1 in a million or 1 in a hundred which would you go for?

    no, it just seams that way. Chick's will put out just to shut you up.

    The biggest problem with cryptology right now is the inability to factor large prime numbers. Once we have the computeing power to do so cryptology strength will be increased greatly.

    I First started reading slashdot just for the articles. Then I posted once, then twice. soon I was posting 2 or three times a day. It was January 3 2001 when I got my first, first post. It was so exelerating, I have been trying for first post ever sence. I can't help my self.....

    got to reload and check front page sorry.

  11. Re:"Linux software" on IBM Puts $100M Behind Linux Push · · Score: 1

    Linux has grown far from its humble beginings of an OS Kernel. I refer to my computer as a Linux computer. At our company the Windows team is called the Intel Team yet my Intel based Linux systems don't belong to their group. They are called "Linux servers"

  12. Re:A BIG ally like IBM... on IBM Puts $100M Behind Linux Push · · Score: 1

    I also hope that, when IBM starts making money with Linux, that some moral compass directs them to give something back.


    Umm, they are putting 100M into linux software? I think they are expecting "the getting something back" part of the deal.

    Moores law of...well...Law. (specifically tax law)

    Law will double in size and complexity and have the efficiency cut in half every 18 months.

  14. All true on MS Security Chief Says Windows is Safer Than Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    My linux computer is so over run with spyware and viruses that it is completely unusable and it is firewalled.

    I connect my fresh installed XP system directly to the internet and I can go months before I get any malicous programs on my computer.

    hmm, or do I have that backwards?

  15. Debian on X.Org 6.8.2 is Out · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I wish they'd release Sarge already so that Xorg will go into unstable.

    Until they abuse it I'm all for it.

  17. Re:In Other News on How GPS Is Killing Lighthouses · · Score: 1

    Well they kind of are. If you think of Lighthouses as location devices and GPSs as downloading location data from a web of satalites.

  18. Re:This can only be good if... on China to Pioneer Melt-Down Proof Reactors · · Score: 1

    Perception is the only way of the liberal. If you can't see a direct effect of something it doesn't exist. Burning coal doesn't produce a tangeable item that they can point at and say "Look, see!! BAD!!!"

  19. This can only be good if... on China to Pioneer Melt-Down Proof Reactors · · Score: 3, Funny

    is there any diffrence in the ammount of waist produced? Being assured that it wont melt down or spin out of controll is good, but to get past the anti nuke arguments it'll have to be at least a little cleaner.

  20. Re:Proposal doesn't go far enough on Fans Attempting to Pay for Enterprise · · Score: 1

    Just don't make much if any money off it. For the most part it is not fair use, but many fan films for star wars and star trek are made.

    Some will even sell you the one you lost last week. I've seen the program before. It's great.

    Good thing they duped it because it's a great story and I missed it the first time.

    This is awsome. I wish they'd make a for profit version similar to this in the $150-200 range.

  25. PS2 that underpowered on Resident Evil 4 PS2 Porting Problems · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is the PS2 that underpowered or is this just a familiarity problem? Or is just optimizing for the GameCube that much different than the PS2? I'd think Capcom would have plenty of experience with the PS2 by now.
