  1. Re:physical distininction on ADA Doesn't Apply to Web · · Score: 1

    And slashdot doesn't have to have a spell checker on their forum.....

  2. physical distininction on ADA Doesn't Apply to Web · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The physical distinction is important. Companies are only required to physically cater to the handicapped. Companies aren't required to have their advertising literature in braille. They aren't required to have a someone on premisis that does sign language, or have phone access for the deaf.

  3. Re:Hey look! on Google Sued over Page Ranking · · Score: 2, Funny

    There has been mention of the case against Mac Donalds by the woman who was scalded by hot coffee and won a 7 million dollar lawsuit against them. Does anyone think MacDonalds thinks that was frivolous, or the lady or the judges, jury or lawyers. I believe everyone involved in that took it VERY seriously and everyone involved in this case does too.

    I think I see his point!

  4. more confusion on Moonlight|3D 0.5.5 Released · · Score: 1

    Another bit to add to the Moonlight confusion is the name of a rendering package called 'Blue Moon Rendering Tools' which is a pixar-type rendering engine that was built by Larry Gritz.

  5. Re:You've missed the point on Tracking People Via Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    Ouch! No more speeding on the parkway.

  6. status symbol on Tracking People Via Cell Phone · · Score: 3, Insightful

    As far as I am concerned, not having a cell phone is a status symbol...

  7. sodium fun on Sodium + Private Lake = Fun · · Score: 1

    When I worked in the chemical industry, we had to cut up the 12 pound ingots into little peices in the 'sodium room'. It was hard work and it was hair rasing when a drop of sweat fell on the ingot and sizzled. There is nothing quite like sodium dissolved in liquid ammonia....

  8. knee jerk? on Discarded Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    I wish there were more specifics on the environmental aspects... Is there something particulartly toxic about cell phones or are they just part of the problem of electronic thingamajigs hitting the landfill?

  9. there are plenty of rendering engines on Designing Computer Animation Software? · · Score: 1

    so why not write a front end that generates files for rendering? Writing a front end for renderman would be pretty interesting and wouldn't take you 65 years.

  10. for the consumer... no on Digital Camera Quality Passing Film? · · Score: 1

    Where can my wife take a memory card and have someone extract 36 of the pictures and print them out for 8 bucks in one hour? It's not going to happen soon.

  11. Re:"thanks Linus!" ? on NEC Launches "PowerMate Eco" Green PC · · Score: 1

    The cpu morphing code is the processor. Without it the cpu is useless.

  12. Re:Protests on Eldred vs. Ashcroft · · Score: 2, Informative

    The justices are not supposed to care what your opinion is. There duty is to interperet the law.

  13. 600 miles on Controlling Robots with the Mind · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wow, 600 hundred miles, that is 100 times more amazing than 6 miles away!

  14. ok what does this mean? on The Days of SysAdmin Numbered? · · Score: 2, Funny

    For this reason, the "virtualisation engine" that Sun will roll out soon will not include features that would scare the more on-the-ball nerds--say, software that automates the process of translating the concept behind a new service, such as online banking, into a computer system.

    Ok what the heck does that mean?

  15. IN OTHER NEWS on IBM, MS Critique MySQL · · Score: 1, Insightful

    a pocket knife is a lousy axe......

  16. Re:Got me thinking... on One Year After September 11 · · Score: 1

    What about the 60,000 people that are mangled to death in car wrecks each year?

  17. bleach stupid on Water + Salt + Energy = Clean! · · Score: 1

    Hello people, sodium hypochlorite (bleach) is made by electrolizing a salt solution. Sodium hypochlorite is one of the most potent biocides known. But you wont attract venture capital with a new process to make it!

  18. imniportant on Flash Games as Political Commentary · · Score: 2, Funny

    geeks always think that what they are doing is more important and has more social relevance than it is. Where Katz when you need him?

  19. my dream home on Reconfigurable, Modular Dream Home · · Score: 1

    My dream home would be 200 years old with slate roof and 5 fireplaces.
