  1. Hmmm. on Engineers Build Satellite Jammer · · Score: 1

    Yes, I think so.
    I will have to get to work on this right away.
    Driving through downtown could be much fun with one of these. Hmmm.. maybe follow an out of state Jaguar or Seville around for a while. Heck, no need for it to be out of state, everyone gets lost anyway.
    Yes, oh, and if someone builds one before I, they should submit it to /.

  3. Better question, maybe even pertinent to some here on Ask Jordan Pollack About AI - Or Anything Else · · Score: 1

    What sort of advice or direction would you have for a student, interested in AI, who is just beginning as an undergraduate? Any ideas on which schools to look into (including graduate) or what sort of courses you would recommend starting with? What sort of undergraduate background is needed to start one on the correct path?
    Thank you, -x-type

  4. Re:How does it recognise files? on Wrapster Allows Napster To Distribute Any File · · Score: 1

    The only problem now is, how do you know what you get is what you want?

    I can name my wrapped file anything. and if the size is somewhat close the the name of a sound file to which I named it. you could download some warez and think it was a real mp3.

    Yeah, this wrapping stuff to m3u files was my idea months ago. nothing special, I hope that nobody gets too funny with it though.

    Yes, and a DDoS client from a cable would be more useful.

  7. Re:Ignoring the Creationist threat on New House of Reps Site on Science, Math, & Tech Education · · Score: 1

    ...and further to use your prayer.
    To use my prayer? What were you thinking?
    If I feel that my praying helps me and I use it to further myself in various ways, how is it harming any one else to witness this?

    You're not welcome to force that view on others
    By praying in front of others I am not forcing them to then pray. You are confused.

    Not teaching evolution as a fact is the correct thing to do as is not teaching creation as fact. For neither of them can be substantially proven as fact and both simple beliefs.
    Get the difference into your head.

    "...defend schools against such things as public prayer,.."

    Okay, wait. So we should be protected from witnessing prayer in a public place? So then, you would be effectively taking away certain rights to speech. If I am no longer allowed to pray to my God in public, you should no longer be allowed to, oh let us say, talk on the phone of a subject to which I do not agree. Moreover, if I was no longer allowed to read The Bible while at school or in public, you should not be allowed to read you Windows Users Quarterly magazine in those places.

    Sure, that which is not proven fact should not be taught as fact. However, children should learn of each individual theory and be allowed to arrive at there own conclusion and make their own assumptions on what is the truth.

  20. Same here... on Translucent PC Cases · · Score: 1

    Personaly, I am quite fond of my nice In-Win
    case. With a slide out Droor for the motherboard
    and all steel. I do not think that they make
    translucent cases like that yet.

    Though, I do think that a well built clear (not
    translucent) case would be nifty to look at.

    Though I do feel that the eye brows need to be something other than just floating haloes.

    I went back three times to see what the
    fourth, no-name, check box was, and to see if
    I could maybe have some control over what I got
