  1. Re:Supercomputing? on Multiprocessor G3/G4 Boards · · Score: 2

    Yeah, but imagine a Beowulf cluster of these!

  2. Now we are just waiting... on The Great Internet Con · · Score: 1

    ...the news that CmdrTaco is not REAL NAME of the
    mysterious cult leader behind this awesome
    futuristic-B2B-internet-forum-site! Next thing we
    hear CmdrTaco is really some lame John Smith or
    Bill Johnson or even Robert Moldav or something
    typical like that. Who knows, truth is stranger
    than fiction sometimes?

  3. Re:Mixed feelings on Electronic Signatures And Citizen's Initiatives? · · Score: 1

    I totally agree you man, and I understand why you
    moved to London. There is no way decent people can
    live in US with all that crime and prejudice. For
    example, I think Utah is to US what US is to rest
    of the world. Congratulations to our new 'legal
    alien' :). Hopefully this Digital Signature
    thingie will never happen in US, contrary to
    other countries, especially Europe where things
    are significantly different. It's so much better
    to live in country where freedom actually means
    freedom, not conspiracy and misleading.

  5. Re:KARMA WHORE ALERT! on Electronic Circuit Mimics Brain Activity · · Score: 1

    Good boy, good boy, here is your candy. Thank you
    for alerting us of such a terrible terrible crime.
    Luckily we have you, otherwise we might stress our
    brains too much. You really are mans best friend.

  6. One missing! on License Cocktail With GPL In Doom · · Score: 1

    I think one very important license is missing!

    -----------------------
    --- License to kill ---
    -----------------------

    And driving license would be nice too, if they
    are ever going to get vehicles in that game, which
    would be VERY nice. :)

  7. Mental illness? on The Confounded Mr. Valenti · · Score: 1

    Maybe this guy is suffering some kind of mental illness?
    --
    Or maybe he just wants to get some publicity?

    On the other hand, what's the difference?
    Seriously, somebody tell mr. Valentis relatives to get the man some treatment.

  8. Re:Marine Noise Pollution on Underwater E-Mail for Submarines · · Score: 1

    Hopefully this new way of transmission has
    NOTHING to do with technology described here:

    http://www.seattle-pi.com/local/navy06.shtml

    Sometimes too much is just too much. Think about
    it, WHERE THE HELL are the whales going, if the
    sea is unbearable? Sheesh.

  9. stupid act and definitely not enough on ISPs Victimizing DoS Victims? · · Score: 1

    I think it's stupid act from ISP's to bend under
    will of DoS attackers. It just shows they have no
    real defense against them, and what stops
    attackers doing it again, even if the object is
    disconneted? If they are serious about the profit,
    they should find another way to stop DoS attacks.

  10. Re:Sounds Interesting on Orbitsville · · Score: 1

    That is an odd question? Don't you people have
    libraries? That's where I found it, read it and
    eventually, returned it.

    "and the only access port is surrounded
    by the remnants of alien fleets."

  12. Practically invisible on Orbitsville · · Score: 1

    Since the sun is inside the sphere, the whole
    thing is practically invisible to explorers, until
    they bump on it. Might be good idea if there will
    be ever need for hideout =).

  14. My two bytes. on Borland C++ Can No Longer Be Used To Make Free Software? · · Score: 1

    -You can distribute your own source code.
    (since it is yours)

    -You can distribute executables compiled with C++B
    (since they permit it in license)

    -You can't distribute source of VCL (Visual
    Component Library), which comes with Borlands RADs
    (the *only* part)

    Just my version of it.

  15. UPDATE! on No More Unreal Ports For Linux? · · Score: 1

    I am not sure if anyone has said this already,
    (if has, shame on you moderators), but there is
    an update on the page which says that whole thing
    is misunderstading! Go read it yourself.

  16. the blue-prints on Intel Opens Itanium Specs · · Score: 2

    Well, at least there is some serious blue color in
    the page, so it's not entirely misleading article.

    Phew, I almost lost my faith in the journalism.

  17. Re:Enterprise Class RDBMS? on PostgreSQL - Oracle/DB2 Killer? · · Score: 1

    The company I work at has used interbase with
    delphi 1-5 for six years now and it has worked
    very well. Now that Kylix is coming too, I am just
    waiting to port all of my projects to Linux. After
    that, no more windows at home. Umm...damn, could
    someone port NFS5 to Linux? Anyone? Please?

  18. ***ZDNet doubling its slashdot effect!*** on Bob Young Blasts Recent Anti-Open Source Article · · Score: 1

    Well done and have a good party with all that
    money coming from your precious banner-ads. Quite
    a money making formula, eh?

  20. Two choices. on Ask Jordan Pollack About AI - Or Anything Else · · Score: 1

    I have two opposed choices:

    Because something exists (intelligence,
    consciousness), it is possible to simulate them,
    thus making AI.

    It is foolish to think that only those things we
    can perceive are those which exist, therefore
    origins of consciousness and intelligence are out
    of our reach to make.

    Which choice is closer to your opinion, and what
    arguments do you state for it?

  21. Re:Outdated thinking on A Post-Microsoft World · · Score: 1

    Well now, when the angry mob is still kicking, who
    will take the lead and guide people to stop
    faceless companies stealing any more democracy
    from people? Only thing to do is to make it EASY
    enough so everyone interested can participate. And it has to be easier than those existing, since so little has been done. And I am pretty sure there
    is those who are interested and those who can wake
    other people. So loudmouths, anyone care for some
    action?

    (Unfortunately I am not American so I have to do
    my part at my country, but as always, what America
    does first lot's of other western countries
    follow, and that is why I am concerned.)

  22. Great and slightly offtopic but important on Adopt-a-Free-Software-Project Program Launched · · Score: 1

    There seems to be lots of people who would
    gladly do something about DMCA, UCITA, Patents
    and all things discussed here under topic Your
    Rights Online. Only thing needed is somekind of
    organization or group who would make it EASY for
    people to participate in demonstrations and other
    acts. So any ideas or willing people to form
    something like this? And the idea of passing the
    leadership is very good making the "movement"
    more continuous and relieving the burden of
    those responsible.

    Try both, it's wordplay. And this is definitely
    the reason why microsoft is lost in the woods

  25. USSR vs USA on Geek Profiling: The Next W.A.V.E. · · Score: 1

    This only proofs what I have been suspecting
    about USA.

    In Soviet Union (USSR) there was monstrous
    government police KGB, and everyone was eager
    to turn in their neighbours for no matter how
    small reason. The public image of USSR was
    however (or tried to be) land of productivity
    and enjoyment. (ringing any bells?) So there were
    two truths, the governments and the actual.
    People were all part of big illusion, and they
    knew it, just played along to survive.

    In USA, however, the people don't realize they
    are living in socialist-fascist -society. The
    illusion that government keeps up works fine,
    the majority of people falsely thinks their
    beloved country is glorious and righteous, while
    the truth is sad. Echelon, NSA, all the bad boys
    and the power of money over people in democracy,
    sad sad sad. This is just one example of it.

    But, nothing can be done, once a lamb always
    a lamb. Unless, well you know it yourself, do
    something. You, people.
