  1. It's the name, stupid! on The Latest iPod Assassination Attempt · · Score: 1

    Actually the lack of a name. I can't believe they've never noticed this. All the wannabees still insist on branding their products with the company name. The only thing you will find on the iPod is an apple, and usually it's barely visible (not to mention that it's on the back). Want to really compete? Make a product that relys on good looks and functionality sans advertising.

  2. Buy gold! Buy all you can get your hands on! on Gold Buying - Time Saver or Cheating? · · Score: 1

    http://newropeans-magazine.org/index.php?option=co m_content&task=view&id=3463&Itemid=85

    Yes, I know we're not talking about "that" kind of gold...

  3. Re:Jury Nullification on Diebold Whistle-Blower Charged With Felony Access · · Score: 1

    Everyone just stop! It does not matter one way or the other. Elections, laws, guilty, not, it's all a construct, a rat's maze with no real exits. We will never be free until we accept that we are prisoners. There is no us and them.
    blah, blah, blah!!!

    By the way, I want to run for President of the United States. Will you vote for me? Thanks.

  4. How (hot? on Billion-Degree Cloud Around Earth · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A billion degrees?!!! That's damn hot! How do we manage to send spacecraft to the other planets (or the moon for that matter) when there is such an obstacle surrounding us? Could the conspiracy theorists be right?

  5. Re:There is no justice in the world..... on Loki Files For Chapter 11 Protection · · Score: 1

    Put your money where your mouth is. I'm going overthere right now, and I'm going to buy the rest of their games. Remember, if your not part of the solution, youARE the problem!

  6. Talents and God on Hackers And Mysticism? · · Score: 1

    I believe that my talents flow from God. Which god? There is only one. Often I solve problems well beyond my capabilities and then I KNOW HE EXISTS.

  7. Matsushita has their own agenda. on Linux Announcement from Sony, Toshiba, NEC, Fujitsu · · Score: 2

    This is a little rumor I heard from a freind that works for Panasonic (Matsushita). He says they are dabbling with their own embedded linux for some of their phone systems. Maybe they don't want to share.

  8. Re:What exactly this Human Genome is at this point on Human Genome Project Believed Complete · · Score: 2

    O.K., so we have the ROMS, now who is going to write the emulator? Make sure it supports zipped rom sets :)

  9. LabView Betcha never heard of it on Best Way to Get Kids Started in Programming? · · Score: 1

    LabVeiw is a little jewel of a development system. Its graphical nature makes it ideal for young programers. It's also very object oriented and analogous to C so you'll be learnin'em right. You can get an eval at www.ni.com. It is also available for Linux, Windows, Mac, Solaris, and HP.

  10. In it for the money? on The Dark Side Of Napster · · Score: 1

    Let's face it. Most recording artists are in the business to make money. Lots of money. If I enjoy listening to music then I should support those artists that I like by buying their music rather than ripping it off. The prevailing attitude today however is that we deserve everything and we should get it as soon as we want it. Napster works into that quite well. Soon enough, the only way you will be able to hear new music is by attending live performances that you had to pay an arm and a leg to get into. There is something to be said for delayed gratification afterall.

  11. Re:failure to communicate on Did NASA Know Mars Polar Lander Would Fail? · · Score: 1

    Conspiracy #1: Mars rover found life on mars. The subsequent images were witheld from even the Mission crew. Rover was deactivated or possibly directed to switch to a secure communication channel. All subsequent missions that can provide close up data will be sabotaged or postponed until the powers that be can cover up their discoveries.
