  1. Re:Wow on Diskeeper Accused of Scientology Indoctrination · · Score: 4, Funny

    No Kidding, diskeeper is most likely based on alien technology that can be used to take over the planet at some point. Or they will all drink some spiked coolaid and go up in the mothership leaving us with no technical support.

  2. Re:Prior Art? on Scientist Patents New Method To Fight Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Here they are, are these based on these "new ideas" from this scientist and if not who got there first? http://blogs.zdnet.com/emergingtech/?p=1030

  3. Prior Art? on Scientist Patents New Method To Fight Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Wasn't someone already making ships to shoot jets of water in the air from the ocean?

  6. Re:I'm stock holder, are you? on The Best Burglar Alarm In History · · Score: 1

    A stock holder that is obviously ashamed to admit it :).

  7. Tilt running system, not good either way on Microsoft Knew About Xbox 360 Damaging Discs · · Score: 1

    Forget the obvious damage from tilting the cdrom drive, most xbox 360s have hard disks and it is just not a good idea to tilt any system with a spinning hard disk, you are asking for a head crash.

  8. Electoral College on Barack Obama Is One Step Closer To Being President · · Score: 0

    I wish to see the ban the electoral college except under the condition of death of a candidate or other unlikely happenings that cause the popular vote winning party not to be able to serve. I mean, most US citizens are educated enough to make their own decision and the voting systems are pretty much reliable (sort of), so the electoral college is unneeded except in those rare instances.

  9. OK, now on Physicist Admits Sending Space-Related Military Secrets To China · · Score: 1

    lets do the right thing and shoot him for treason... No wait, give him a medal! we owe china a bundle, lets take that off our debt to china instead, that outta be worth say two trillion for that information...so now china is no longer our creditor, glad that debt is settled. Now on to the other 8 trillion in national debt (not to mention the other 50 trillion owed internally).

  10. Re:Conservation of energy on Plasma Plants Vaporize Trash While Creating Energy · · Score: 1

    Maybe its not an energy creation scheme, but it gets rid of the landfill, or at least minimizes its use, which in my book is pretty good.

  11. Re:This is genius on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1

    No one, and I mean NO one quite compares to that whacked out time cube guy. Way too much acid in the 70s most likely.

  12. Re:X-forwarding on (Useful) Stupid Unix Tricks? · · Score: 1

    I still prefer the old direct method on a private lan or wan, I just set my DISPLAY parameter and set up my auth in my login profile. Course ssh x-forwarding is real nice when you gotta punch through some firewalls, and at that point the encryption becomes important as you are most likely not in you private network anymore.

  13. Re:X-forwarding on (Useful) Stupid Unix Tricks? · · Score: 1

    With the exception of citrix (or terminal services), you see the program on both, not just the intended target...its a little inefficient dont ya think. And your getting the whole desktop, not just the application you want displayed.

  14. Re:X-forwarding on (Useful) Stupid Unix Tricks? · · Score: 1

    That is not exactly the same. Running a X program remotely and displaying that program on your machine, not the parent machine.

    Amen brotha.

  16. Re:Two words on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 2, Informative

    Most blacks in the US are interracial. African-American in the truest sense of the word. You see the slave owners liked to mess around with the slaves, and this happened much more often than anyone would admit. Most male slave owners liked to add a little white to their slave blood line, thought it would make their slaves better stock. Sometimes the slave owners wife would end up having a half black child, and the owners would either give them to a slave to raise or sell them...normally a male slave got sold or shot at that point also for some odd reason.

  17. Re:Sad news. on Bones Found Near Crash Site Confirmed Fossett's · · Score: 1

    I was flying with our old company pilot once, I was in the co-pilot seat of a twin engine beachcraft baron.. He said hit this auto-pilot button if I die, get on the radio and tell them what happened and that it will land at atlanta airport and you have no control of it. He said he had a bad ticker and it was feeling jumpy that day, maybe its ok as long as the small plane has a self landing gps nav co-pilot system like ours did, or he had a bs exam...not sure which.

  18. Giving out hardware too? on Microsoft Pushes Windows To Battle Linux In Africa · · Score: 1

    The poor countries cannot afford the high powered new machines required to run windows even if they get it free, most need linux because it will actually run on their hardware.

  19. Re:fp bitches! on Robotic Suit For Rent In Japan · · Score: 1

    Oh I see, they will die young and we wont have to worry about them. And we can use the tax money we get to pay back everyone we owe, including social security...though most wont need it.

    Yea, 2 x 2 is plenty of room if you shackle them vertically...spammers do not deserve the best accommodations.

  21. Re:LNL on Michael Robertson Sued Over Missing Linspire Cash · · Score: 1

    Um, well then its Linux. Linux is just a kernel, nothing more, if it has the Linux kernel, its Linux. Now I think maybe you meant its not GNU/Linux or something along that lines of that perhaps.

  22. Whew on China To Run Out of IPv4 Addresses In 830 Days · · Score: 2, Funny

    Thank goodness, maybe they will take away the Chinese spam houses IPs and use them for something less irritating.

  23. Re:Great, we get to pay for them again! on NASA Patents To Be Auctioned · · Score: 1

    I don't get it...oh you thought we meant tain or perhaps taint?

  24. Use it to pay back the people on NASA Patents To Be Auctioned · · Score: 1

    The proceeds need to go back into the social security system, the government needs to start paying back what they borrowed for the war.

  25. 73,000 or 440,000? on Sony Recalls 73,000 Vaio Laptops Due To Burn Worry · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here they say its more like 440,000 recalled. I expect a little variation, but this is a major difference...makes me wonder if one is talking about worldwide, and one local. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7598344.stm
