  1. Re:Start date suspicious... on UK Space Agency Launched · · Score: 2, Funny

    Regardless it is a joke and they picked an appropriate day to start it.

  2. Re:The projected costs are worthless. on The Facts & Fiction of Bandwidth Caps · · Score: 1

    Bad analogy ... packaging/logistics is not going to cost 1/10.

  3. Re:Internet Axiom: The internet is slow on Why Is the Internet So Infuriatingly Slow? · · Score: 1

    Then change your business to penalizing the high downloaders by throttling them if they exceed a daily/monthly limit.
    It's called changing your business model to suit the market.
    If all the businesses don't change then the large businesses lose money and the small players will be forced out.

  4. Re:first! on McCain Campaign Offers Rewards For Turn-Key Comments · · Score: 5, Funny

    you have enough points for a McCain 2008 bumper sticker, a few more points and you can qualify for a McCain 2008 coffee mug

  5. Re:Self limiting to a certain extent? on The Uncertain Future of Global Population Numbers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    From that article ... "But having averted the danger of overpopulation, the world now faces the opposite problem: an aging and declining population." (Written by another corporate sponsored lapdog working for the "New American" think-tank)

    In the article, it was estimated that the U.S. was going to reach a peak of 1.1Billion ... where a city the size of New York is built every 10 months.

    Yeah, sounds like an underpopulation problem to me. The article had very rose colored glasses on and completely ignored major factors, like overcrowding and deterioration of available physical resources.

    Overpopulation is not just a problem in the future, it's a problem now, dammit.

  6. but when ... ? on Mobile Phone Projectors "Will Launch This Year" · · Score: 1

    But when are they going to release the head-attached laser beams for my sharks?

  7. Re:Hooray! on White House Wins On Spying, Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    Well, sort of. Government giving protections to corporations is a characteristic of fascism (so is obsession of national security, dictatorial leadership, nationalism, disdain of individual human rights ...) but not free markets/trade.

    I think this government has it's own classification. Maybe neo-corporatism?

  8. Re:heh. on Novell Proclaims 'We're Not SCO' and We Won't Sue · · Score: 1

    UNIX has been replaced by GNU and BSD, and Bell Labs works on something quite new with regards to UNIX known as Plan 9 from Bell Labs.

    By "quite new" I think you mean it got released about 15 years ago.

    you could always finance it ... there plenty of money that used to be available from the Subprime Mortgage industry

    By the way, this guy was a former fan of the Cringley fanclub until he started attacking IBM a couple weeks ago.

    Yep He's had a amazing long career http://msn-uk.imdb.com/name/nm1342014/

    err, even that was uncredited ... http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2003-03-1 9-mocap_x.htm

    I think he should be known as the Uncreditted Virtual Actor.

    So far his publicity exceeds his acting career ... or IS his publicity his creditted acting career?

  18. Re:Better Article.... on America's War on the Web · · Score: 1

    Navies make war on boats. These guys will make war on the Internet.

    Get the idea?


    Navies also have submarines, they have combat in subs.
    Same with tanks, planes etc.

  19. First Post menu Option? on Slashdot Firefox Extension · · Score: 1

    Damn , no First Post menu option.

    And how about "Auto-troll", "Mod This Up", "Your Momma" ...

    why ... A digital Strategy initiative was presented in Parliament and one of the Green Politicians commented on it http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PA0505/S00385.htm

    also where have you seen the NZ Green Party discuss Union Labour ?

    Read the above article and you will see the motivation.

  22. nothing pure about English on Hackers, Spelling, and Grammar? · · Score: 1

    Just read about the history of English to appreciate how messed up it is.

    And then you will see why a lot of the spelling and grammatical rules seem to contradict themselves.

  23. Re:not cost efffective on Managing Linux and Virtual Machines? · · Score: 1

    Nope, there are several IBM apps we have investigated that are not running in linux390. Especially server instances and protection modules in the Tivoli suite .

  24. Re:This is a joke right? on CDMA vs. GSM in Post-war Iraq · · Score: 1
    At about 220 civilian dead now for a country of under 25 million, compared to 3000 or so for a country of 300 million, I'd say the comparison is about right.

    So you are stating that the U.S. are no better than the terrorists?

    BTW. There has been NO links from Iraq to Al Qaeda. There are, however, links to the Iraq to the oil industry.

  25. Re:Why would it be mind-numbing? on Mainframe Operators Needed · · Score: 1

    Yep and they are a cost-cutting airline.

    Also, it would be really difficult to make those mid-range machines work in a Sev1 solution. They have probably extended the RTO because of that.
