  5. Re:The Texas Legislature on Texas Bill Would Require Open Source Consideration · · Score: 3, Informative

    the legislature meets for a 120 day period once every two years, not for one day every other year. The governor can also call a special session for 30 days anytime he wants IIRC.

    Fry's? I would rather endure what the execs at AOLTimeWarner want me to watch then step one foot inside that hell hole. I can't believe people actually shop there.

  8. Re:Yup, of course. on Company Ownership of Employee Ideas · · Score: 1

    the state where this happened (Texas) is also a "right to work" state, and as you can see it was not "laughed out of court."

  15. Re:It only takes three generations on Video Games Not Protected Form of Speech · · Score: 1
    The best defense against idiocy: home school your children.

    That would only work if you yourself are not a product of the public school system, otherwise you would just be teaching the same watered-down crap that you were taught.

    The only way to end this cycle is to end schooling altogether, then we can finally get some learning down.

  16. Re:Ping times? on Intenet2 Backbone Upgrades · · Score: 1

    sounds like the University of Texas. They advertise this fast connections but yet they cap the bandwith at 2.5GB a week and when you go over that the max you can download at is around 1kb/s. You would be much better off using a 56k modem.

  18. Memento on Star Wars Phantom Menace 1.1 Editor Speaks · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The most interesting part of that pathetic interview was the discussion afterwards, without the phantom editor, about Memento. That the England dvd release will have an easter egg that you can watch it in chronological order.

    it is illegal in a lot of places for theaters to show unrated movies, so if they want them to be shown they have to get them rated, and when they get rated people are not allowed to see them.

    too bad many states no longer use the ink and stamp way of obtaining your fingerprint anymore. Just press your thumb on a digital scanner and viola.

  23. Re:Advertising on private land on Gravestones Advertising Video Games? · · Score: 1

    the reason you can put up outdoor political signs without planning permission is that they are temporary, the advertisements on the gravestones would be permanent and thus require permission.
