  1. This is almost as stupid as one click shopping. on Google and Others Sued For Automating Email · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The whole point of using and programming computers is to automate....

    Software Patents are acts of fraud against the consumer and users.

  2. Depends on your bean counters objectives.... on System Admin's Unit of Production? · · Score: 1

    Does he want to reduce the departments employee count? Or does he want to sustain it employee count?

    Mayeb he just needs to hire more and task to them, the metrics goals.

  3. Read comments and think MS patent claims on linux. on New Method To Detect and Prove GPL Violations · · Score: 1

    False positives....

    The story is presented with a stage light focused on linux but then the house lights come up and show linux in jail along with most of the audience.

    This is just one paper for one Automated Software Engineering (ASE) conference.

    But if you really want to insure software becomes genuinely free, then the level or automated software development will have to become easy enough for the typical user to apply it. Much like most anyone knows how to use a calculator and uses it as they need.

    There is currently some effort being applied in the ASE overall focus that will become unimportant and not used once such a user level is reached, not to mention the changes on hardware that enables users to take their system with them on a key chain. Though there will be servers, the majority of use of such automated software creation at such a level will be at the users level, be they a system developer or a casual end user.

    And like a calculator calculations sequence...uh err... finger print.... this finger printing becomes pointless.
    as it will be found to be something of a reflection of the underlying knowledge system, and not so unique of the users.

    To get to the basics of automation and realize the commonality of it is to then know the GPL advantage is NOT having "its mine and you cannot use, overhead and land mines"

  4. Or it could be really different... on The Mindset of the Class of 2029 · · Score: 1

    ...we could have blow ourselves up and be starting all over again...

  5. The difference computers make... on Secrecy of Voting Machines Ballots At Risk · · Score: 1

    Since before computers we used paper ballots, a paper trail.

    Now we introduce computers and all of the sudden we have paper trails invading privacy.

    Computers themselves have been proven hackable.

    OK, so lets remove the computers.

    Certainly by getting accurate votes and bringing the real winner forward, we won't likely lose the one hell of a lot more by the acts of the wrong person psuedo-elected.

  6. slow down on XP too.... Windows Media Player... on Playing Music Slows Vista Network Performance? · · Score: 1

    To use the Windows media player even on XP will result in a slowdown of the system (probably some DRM checking).

    What I do to get around my system slowing down when I simply want to listen to a cd is to use mplay32.exe instead of Windows Media Player.

    I remember using an Amiga @ 25Mhz and playing CDs without issue, even thru the Amiga sound channels...

    So the question is...... Why does windows suck the life out of a 2.8 Ghz system?

  7. for 3 million dollars I bet it..... on Rocket-Powered Bionic Arm Successfully Tested · · Score: 1

    ....packs a helluva punch

  8. Its really simple to understand.... on The IT Industry's Red Shift Theory · · Score: 1

    The more digital consumer babeling and viewing gets the more processsing power you need to process it.

    A lot of the shift is from a transmission media that didn't need a lot of processing power to one that does.
    Where the amount of media consumers access is growing at a rate less than that.

    Where is the difference in the eyes of the consumer... their wallet mostly.

    But we have more choices now and a greater level of convenience. IS it worth it?

  13. Following in the footsteps of hitlers volkswagon.. on US Army Unveils Hybrid-Electric Propulsion System · · Score: 1

    and the hummer .... the military is now in the vehicle design business.

    on an old reflection, I have plans from the mid 1970's from mother earth news that show how to convert an Opal GT into a hybrid electric. It used a DC jet engine starting motor powered by a 5 HP Briggs and Stratten lawn mower engine. Ojh hell that was 30 years ago....
