    I really don't think Peter Jackson sees himself in such authority to re-write the story that much.

    Seems to me that its a mindset issue, that terorist mindsets like bush and bin Laden are the problem, not the mechanics.

    Such technology should always be counter balanced with consideration of problematic mindsets, who are the controller behind such technology and machinery.

    Is such technology making it possible to effectively shut down major highways during rush hour by simply getting ahold of the controls of the technology to do so?

    In warfare, isn't control over communications and transportation top targets?

  5. Hmmm, and I figured MS did it... on Microsoft Offers A Bounty On Virus Writers · · Score: 1

    MS to intro hardware-linked security for AMD64, Itanium, future CPUs which failed to mention BSD already using it???

    Or does this mean they are looking for a fall guy?

  6. Re:maybe this is a good place to... on New X Proposal on Freedesktop.org · · Score: 1

    Let me suggest that open source allows one to see how something is done. It doesn't mean you have to copy the code, but perhaps better understand the functioning details of solution possibilities.

    As such, licenses may not be so much an issue here, but it is always good to give credit where it is due, even if it is just referenced material.

    I also like what freedestop is doing with dbus, as it reminds me of the Amiga IPC usage that AREXX makes use of.

    Interesting, last night I read a reply that someone thought my post was funny and realizing I had made an error, I corrected it in another message... Now that post finding my original post funny is gone and the one I'm replying to is here. Even after I set the threshold to -1 (in case someone moded down teh "funny" one to troll), I still do not see the post text I saw last nite. But looking at the post numbers, my last post was done two messages after the one I'm now responding to. So where was it last nite after I made the correction?

    OK so the anonymous cowards are someone or two that have editing after post ability.

    Maybe this is why I could not find a post I made in the past,what should now be in the archives, regarding longhorn.

    Ok so slashdot is being paid by MS....

    And you are asking me questions so to help MS.....

    Your claim "Anybody who's looked at the output of your average programmer will easily be able to verify that your statement does not hold true for all programmers." is not a claim but a question to me as to how to tell the difference.

    Was it the same black cat? Deja Vue...

  11. The matter is a fundamental contridiction to... on Are MS, W3C Barking Up Wrong Prior Art Tree? · · Score: 1

    using computers to put things together...

    Programming is the act of automating complexity by putting simpler complexities together, and done so to make it easy to use and reuse the complexity.

    The act is very recursive and common knowledge even reaching the second nature level.

    This makes it clear that there has been a major failure of computer science to recognize even the most fundamental physics of programming.

    Most software patents are not valid once bounced off the wall of what cannot be patented, for the natural laws of the physical phenomenon of our creating and using abstractions is three for thre what cannot be patented. And we can add to this mathmatical algorythims... making it four for four.

    and teh patent office shoudl damn well know this already only the psuedo computer science does back it up, because it is biased by the money carrot.

  15. How blind are you people? Or is it arrogance? on Microsoft's new CLI · · Score: 1

    - a new MS Shell..... integrated with .net and the what ever you call it standard (to be) GUI package
    so you take the sum of programming concepts and datatypes and boil them down into a non-conflicting package (Programming issues). In this you also create a GUI system to provide standard GUI functionality (2nd primary UI). Interface these to a Command Line Interface (1st primary UI) and considering the 3rd UI is IPC (inter process communication abilities and somewht inherent in .net ) ------ you have the three primary UIs together and with them you you can create an autocoding environment. add to that voice to text translation .....

    From what I have seen of the comments being made on /. regarding the article..... there is an enormus depth of blind ignorance regarding what MS is up to.

    Or maybe its just arrogance?

    Somehow all this is beginning to remind me of Record Club of America...

    So for small monthy payments you can buy this device but because we run a free embedded version of Linux on it we can better compete price wise with they likes of Apple and MS..... OR give you so many free songs to get you going, which you will receive so many dl credits for upon the receipt of each of your payments.

    Where the free songs are paid out of the savings we get from using embedded linux.

  18. What is sound, but a vibration... on Big Bang Really a Big Hum · · Score: 0

    Its really more likely that a big bang would contain a much richer spectrum of vibration. But the further you are away from the source the lower it will sound, as the higher frequencies of sound don't travel as far. Examples are of hearing the rumble of a rocket or space shuttle launch from 30 miles away comparied to just a mile or two, where you hear the higher frequencies, crackeling. Or the low frequencey rumble heard in northern Asia when the indonesian volcano exploded in teh 1500s physically causing the so called dark ages (about a decade long). Or the bass from a car stereo traveling a good distance, even thru walls, but not the higher end.

    Sound may not travel thru a vacume, but the question is, at what point would sound be stopped by such a vacume during the sequence of an anti-vacume explosion?

  20. Who said MS wanted to Win the case? on W3C Requests Eolas Patent Re-Examination · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I believe there is a general assumption that MS really wanted to win the case.

    What should be understood is the advantages MS would gain in losing.

    Teh fact that prior art itself that was not presented by MS but of MS products, should be plenty reason to suspect MS didn't want to win the case, but only create the illusion.

    Perhpas the question to ask now is how is MS using other companies to do their bidding, like SCO..

    MS does not have the resources to do it right, but they sure as hell can do what they can to put constraints on the abilities of

    slap an autocoding engine on top of what is a non-conflicting sum of programming concepts and data types (with a bytecode layer
    and excecution engine) and slap a patent on it. and in the mean time while you are waiting for the patent, you copyright integrated databases
    used by the autocoder.....
