  1. FUD fud fud on Beatles vs Apple · · Score: 1

    later today in the news Darl Mcbride anounces " we cannot continue the case against linux, all of my lawyers seemed to misteriosly moved to the UK, they were saying something about greener pastures"
    common folks this is nothing more than the UK using SCO tactics on Apple. when was the last time you heard anything about apple corp. what the hell do they produce except for litigation.

    what we should have is a video preview of steve jobs tying paul mccartny up and dick slapping him, but paul might like something like that too much.

  2. Hey What about Red flag linux on Does Microsoft Need China? · · Score: 1

    I thought that china was going to create a flavor of linux and realy develop for it. i would think that that would be the smartest way to go. i didnt RTFA, but i was hoping to hear or see a red flag linux project anounced sooner or later. china is just staring to regain its identity. and show independance from western domination. It would be a travesty for china to accept the ass raping that the west has jellied up for.
    IMAGIN A LINUX FLAVOR WITH 1.2 BILION USER BASE.

  3. What about scully on Muppets Named Top Scientists · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I cant believe scully didn't get it. She was always doing autopsies, and she was hot. In the early episode, you even go booby shots.
    That beets a muppet any day.

  4. It's really sad. on China Goes Nuclear · · Score: 1

    It's really sad when you hear about china making these ambitious pans and really moving forward.
    When I was a kid, my mother used to tell me to eat all my food because there were poor kids in china dying of starvation.
    Technologically and economically we used to use china as an example of what is wrong with communism. Now china is growing.

    1. A space Program
    2. A nuclear power program, based on the safest design available.
    3. An economy that is growing
    4. More land mass
    5. and more people.

    It is obvious that the grandchildren of todays china will be telling their children to eat all their food because of the poor starving children in America. People will look at America with pity and revulsion. And our country will probably no longer be a superpower (we'll probably be speaking mandarin).
    WHY
    because.
    Like fahrenheit, 451 this country is being torn apart by petty monopolistic groups bent on dominating each other.
    If were lucky this might happen.


  5. Re:Supply of uranium for nuclear power is limited? on China Goes Nuclear · · Score: 1

    There are
    uranium
    Plutonium
    Thorium
    types of reactors.
    with breeder reactors, and fuel rod recycling, we could get about 1000 years of nuclear fuel, the main problem is that we don't use our nuclear fuel efficiently and we don't recycle the spent rods.

  6. Mod offtopic if you must on Mozilla.org Relaunched · · Score: 1

    This is probably the most absolute worst place to post this but.
    Ive noticed that on thunderbird when authenticating to a xxx\ domain the password manager seems to have a real hard problem remembering the passwords, its really annoying to have to reauthenticate all the time. any one else have this problem and do you know of a olution for it.

  10. I hate to say it. on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 1
    This is nice but i think Apple really missed the mark. Hey apple whats wrong with your thinking. I want a G5 box thats at or below 1K i want to use my own monitor and keyboard. why is that soooo hard for apple. i guess after the failure of their cube they gave up on a low priced boxen for the masses. if you want to win the /. crowd over. offer a

    4. 160Gb HD
    5. NO MONITOR
    at 900.00$ if you did that then you would be backlogged for the next year with orders. But i dont think Jobs believes in that. The fact is that OSX is unix that is easy to use. it beat the shit out of SUN in price and usability. they gay posters and winners are just 12 year old script kiddies who couldnt afford a decent computer to begin with.

  13. I noticed the PAY thing on Virtual Girlfriend · · Score: 1

    So the girlfriend is high maintenance and you have to buy her flowers and things like that. i would wounder if buying a virtual girl virtual flowers might cost you real money. IE to make her happy you would have to pay a 0.35$ fee to buy your virtual girlfriend flowers with real money. i wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. these are market droids mind you, they will stop at nothing to separate you from your money. besides when i was single i might take a girl out to McDonald's if i thought i would get action that night, why would i want to spend anything on a virtual girl, unless a real girl comes over and gives me a blow job afterwords. Don't forget we are geeks, simply go to a bar find a slutty woman and tell her you work at MS as a programmer. shell do anything you want, and its more plausible than brain surgeon, leave the virtual girlfriend to the dumb jocks.

  14. This is not only for illegal stuff on Information Preservation and Data Havens? · · Score: 1

    From personal experience i know that there are many situations where you need secure and unhindered storage space. i do not keep illegal stuff from the perusal of FBI but i do have stuff that is encrypted and stored in multiple places. why, because with the PATRIOT act the FBI doesn't need a valid reason for search and seizure.

    You know what
    All of your arguments are wrong and just plain stupid.
    your counter arguments are no more than nitpicking detailes that are unimportant
    In essence every reply you have made is no better that self aggrandising blustering.
    you have failed to counter every one of my arguments, instead nitpicking on meaningless facts.
    your calling me an idiod is no more than " my dad is better thatn your dad (playground)" attempts. you are the troll. i dont know how you gaot a +2 mod setting but you have yet to validly debunk any of my areguments. at this point i feel like i am talking to a little brat who is too stupid to get the point.
    i thought i could argue on an intelectual level but clearly that is impossible.
    reply all you like i dont like talking to idiots so i have no intention of responding.
    PS I worked on CPM bassed on the Z80 chipset. and you were provided with the soucecode back then. ( another debunk on your argument)
    by the way there wasnt any real O.S. back then.
    I did work on BSD in the early 90's though.
