  1. Salute. on Team Use Stem Cells to Restore Mobility in Paralyzed Monkey · · Score: 5, Interesting

    "that had been paralysed from the neck down by a spinal injury" -- Bet it wasn't an accident.
    I for one wish to honor our little buddy that took one for the team, Not his team, our team, the team two branches over on the evolutionary tree.

  2. Backup your data, on Mystery Missile Launched Near LA · · Score: 1

    Maybe the EMP did not go off this time. You should back up all that pirated porn if you live in L.A.

  3. Re:marketshare on Now Linux Can Get Viruses, Via Wine · · Score: 1

    "Linux doesn't have malware only because it's desktop share is next to nothing"

    The quote above immediately allows me to discredit your entire post and file you away with the tag: "Knows not of which he speaks."
    The market share babble is FUD. There are fundamental design differences in the operating systems.

    If you don't know, learn. You really shouldn't spread FUD.

  4. The Head of the snake. on Microsoft Puts C# and the CLI Under "Community Promise" · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    No Matter how sensuously it moves it's tail, it's the snake's head that will bite you.
    (or throw a chair at you.)

    Until the head is removed, I'm not going to play with it.

    No but your respawn time is like 120 Secs or more if you kill civilians.

  7. he's the one. on Lars Ulrich Pirates His Own Album · · Score: 1

    Congratulations Lars,

    Your the only one that downloaded that POS album.

    Hatfield's probably the one that seeded it.

    Really, after Master of Puppets, who else would.

    Looser.

  8. Doomed! on Microsoft Says H-1B Workers Among Those Losing Jobs · · Score: 1

    Here's the problem most are missing when they state it's up to the business and protectionism has no place:

    Generally the U.S. is the largest concentration of your customer base, or the customer base for the employers of a lot of your other countrymen.

    Now if you take jobs (income) from that base, it will bite you in the ass eventually.

    If you increase the customer base, say in china, you increase the disposable society and again it will bite you in the ass. (insert end of world scenario here)

    Or we could mandate static societies, but that's never going to happen.

    Maybe we need to rethink this?

    I'm all for more localized markets, and smaller profits in a green based renewable society.
    Except you are not.

    I'm working on a return of the black plague.
    Seems to fix all the problems.

  9. Re:...because H1Bs are forms, not people on Senator Prods Microsoft On H-1B Visas After Layoff Plans · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I myself have never seen a "fat lazy American" at my business,
    This is due to great Management, we don't hire them.
    You are deluding yourself if you think there is a racial/national difference between you and Americans.
    I've lived and worked overseas, guess what? You have fat lazy Indians, Chinese, Vietnamese and more.
    Face facts, it's a cost analysis, no more than that.
    I myself would be offended and try to do something about a company that thinks my work deserves lower pay versus my co-workers due to my nationality.
    Seems we need to think on a global level as members of the human race vice difference based upon language, melanin, and areas defined by a grease pencil oh so many years ago.

  11. The above should be +10 insightful on When Teachers Are Obstacles To Linux In Education · · Score: 4, Insightful

    From many years of repairing id10t errors,
    I'd say the porn sites and scammers are slowly training our users for us.

    I don't think they are getting the full view,
    they are just becoming jaded.

    users in the late 80's and 90's were more willing to try anything to save some money.

    Now it must be a scam.

    I am assuming a 12 year old from somewhere in northern EU will probably invalidate the EAL.

  15. Fuzz it. on Give Up the Fight For Personal Privacy? · · Score: 0

    When they ask for a phone number at the register, when they ask for a zipcode before a purchase, always, always change the answer.

    Don't make one profile, mix it up, make a bunch.
    Differ the data throughout.

    When I die and they look me up in the "Great Database" there will be an infinity of possibilities. Just as good as a blank spot I think.

    And be sure to fill out all those paid postage advertisements, they must think my house has all the qualities of the Tardus.

  16. Wow, This article fixed a problem. Securom sux on Will DRM Exterminate Spore? · · Score: 0

    Read this,
    Checked the wikipedia article on securom

    Got me thinking:
    My daughter's dvd burner stopped working last year and I had written it off to manufacturer's defect.

    I know she had purchased Sims 2 like a year ago as well.

    tracked down the removal for securerom, cleaned the reg, deleted files and rebooted....

    DVD burner works now.

    Screw DRM.

    ohh,,yeah.. and Microsoft.

    usbstor.sys is and must be called to initiate the loading of the filesystem, a important step in the process.

    Proper permissions should stop this and has always in my networks.

    But, as I am a Linux guy, and we are talking windows.... Maybe it really only works sometimes.
    After all, who has read the windows code?
