    what you need to do is read Asimov's Bible History and you'll understand WHY people are said to live hundreds of years.

  10. Re:Once Again on FCC Internet Grant Decision Riles Congress · · Score: 1

    WRONG! It serves no purpose.

    Technology has made it impotent. Everything it does could be handled by the FTC et al.

    The FCC is a useless skin flap

  17. You know you can't win on Ask Libertarian Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I have voeted Libertarian the last 3 elections but this year the stakes are too high. You know you can't win. Have you considered "Deaning" your supporters and asking them to vote for Bush or Kerry depending on who you think should be President (besides yourself)?

  18. Mixed Feelings On This News on Slashdot Goes Political: Announcing politics.slashdot.org · · Score: 1

    On one hand I like the idea.... Karma be damned on another isn't Slashdot getting to be a bit Wal-Mart(y)?

    I used to go to Mac Slash and MaCNN for my mac news, now I gnerally just come here. Yadda yadda. Now to have political fights I won't be forced to register every three days at SmirkingChimp or wade through thousands of dup stories at FreeRepublic or read 6 week old "news" at Plastic.

    But maybe that's part of the charm of NOT using Slashdot for everything.

    Besides I am VNCed over ssh into my home machine b.c this IP was banned two weeks ago for a comment that is currently +5 insightful....

  20. Re:I security really that important? on Windows Not Expected Secure Until 2011, Says MS · · Score: 1

    you know actually you make a pretty good point in way.

    Cars used to be built much better. If the level of quality had remained as high and the currently level of safety had been attained cars would be fantastic.

    So if the quality of old OSes had been enhanced by a level of safety we'd have a pretyy good OS to work on... like OS X or something... ;)

  21. I security really that important? on Windows Not Expected Secure Until 2011, Says MS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Windows hasn't been all that secure since, well, forver. Has the horrendous security done anything other than support thousands of jobs and spawed a massive aftermarket security industry?

  22. Jesus H Christ on Red Brains vs. Blue Brains? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is anything anyone's fault or decision anymore? Damn I remember when people were fat, drunk, gay, disruptive and Communist of their own volition. Now everything is a malady, issue and disease.

  23. The Only Way This Would Be Cooler on Internet-Enabled Thermostat · · Score: 3, Funny

    is if it runs in IIS and uses plaintext passwords!
