  1. Scary enough on FBI Bugs Keyboard of PGP-Using Alleged Mafioso · · Score: 1

    "Anything he typed on that keyboard - a letter to his lawyer, personal or medical records, legitimate business records - they got it all," said Donald Manno, Scarfo's longtime lawyer. "That's scary. It's dangerous," he said. We all know this. Wiretaping will always be litigious. But, I think in some case it's more than correct to use all technological ways to sentense someone, when real reasonnable doubts are in case, and I think it's one.

  2. adjusting your threshold on HP And Bruce Perens · · Score: 1

    ...the lack of respect that online media really gets. Maybe respect is a bad choice of words but it's Monday so I'll explain: While it is true that online publications are the minority, their contribution to the journalism "scene" seems to be minimized by traditional journalists who are afraid because anyone with just a AOL account (and 2 free megs of hosted space) can get as much attention as the NY Times. Decentralization of content publication is as worrysome to traditional print media as Napster is to the record labels. Anyone else see the parallels between RIAA v Napster and Mattel v That Guy Who Criticized Them On His Web Page? Anyway, The IOC doesn't see any online rags (not counting ABC, CNN, MSNBC and other traditional news franchises) as reputable, established news sources. I just hope in 10 years this conclusion comes back to bite them in the ass... we can all guess at how everything will change by then.

  3. XML on Could LaTeX Replace HTML? · · Score: 1

    I'm not really sure to get it. LaTeX, a good way to write documents, but WEB??? Why not get on XML and go on something that is pretty interesting, starting to be well supported, and be used by Micro$oft??? ;-)

  4. Re:Total BullShit! - Count #1 (Packing data) on New Advance In Quantum Dot Technology · · Score: 1

    Oh lala.... Hard to eat technology, isn't?

  5. Re:Total BullShit! - Count #1 (Packing data) on New Advance In Quantum Dot Technology · · Score: 2

    I think you totally don't get it. It can do a factorisation of a number 2 exp 1000 in one step (or near), simply by testing all the 2 exp 1000 possibilities simultaneously and get the answer right back. Just get it and eat it!

  6. Quantum technology : The next step on New Advance In Quantum Dot Technology · · Score: 1

    I think Quantum technology will take the biggest step when big scientific computer will get a "boost module", where Quantum calculations could be programmed to do quantum work, as factorisation. As long as the new techlogy will be kept in labs (or at the NSA), the real power of quantum will not give us any power. I suspect first companies like IBM that could loan some quantum cpu time for a lot of companies, for some governement agencies that could not afford one.

  7. Re:Maybe it's possible (Re: inertia) on Walking Around In Spherical VR · · Score: 1

    Exactly. If your weight is about 150 lbs, and the ball is 50 lbs, the inertia of the ball is only a lag factor of 25%. Even more, you can digitally control the changes in speed of the ball and counter balance from that proportion with hydrolics pumps. I think the idea is genial, but you need a pretty big ball to not walk on a curve.

  8. Slashdot news on Journalistic Integrity in the Digital Age? · · Score: 1

    I read slashdot news as a technical newspaper. I think slashdot is a specialised newsfeed with comments, and the best one... thats all!

  9. Re:Good Concept but Impratical so far on Zero-Knowledge Open-Sources Linux Client · · Score: 1

    I got an idea similar to what they do, but no proprietary protocols and you can choose your servers where the data will go. The speed could be improved a lot if you choose the rights servers to route your packets. I'm working on that!

  10. Internet on Candidates' Positions On Internet Filtering · · Score: 1

    Personally, I think that internationals laws that we will use for space should be use as a base for internet!

  11. Re:A ploy on Surrounded By Cyborgs: ISWC2000, Take 1 · · Score: 1

    A girl come to a guy in a bar : -You have a nice win2000! -No, it's linux -Do you have support for dcom? -nope, only corba -Too bad, we're not compatible to make distributed systems.

  12. Re:toast? on Surrounded By Cyborgs: ISWC2000, Take 1 · · Score: 1

    If I put my portable in my jacket, does it make it a wearable computer?

  13. incredible! on Does P = NP? · · Score: 1

    If this is true, it's the best math stuff ever done!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. Re:uh huh on Media Providers And Short Online Retention? · · Score: 1

    I think all media contributions should be free. Anyone who is willing to give news should give away their copyrights.

  15. This is bad on CDDB Shutting Down Media Jukebox · · Score: 1

    This should be open source code, open database, and we should be able to be mirror at any time.

  16. Re:Well? on Is UNIX An OS? · · Score: 1

    I love unix, so it's an operating system

  17. Re:They could not hit themselves on Kursk Destroyed By Cavitation Missles? · · Score: 1

    Exactly. I suspect a kaboum at the launch. Don't forget the main problem of those babes : getting the speed at the beginning. If the speed isn't reach correctly first, it make to much pression at the head and possibly an explosion at the firing.

  18. Re:My Frist Frist Psot! on Kmeleon - Windows Gecko Browser · · Score: 1

    Is this something interesting to know?

  19. mp3.com on Non-RIAA Record Companies? · · Score: 1

    I suggest people to buy music from mp3.com (and others site like this one). The artists get an interesting part of the revenues made by mp3.com (1 million bucks per month gived to artists). If you buy cd from here (not expensives), half goes to the artist, wich is much more than actually with majors records labels.

  20. Re:Honor system doesn't work on The Truth About File-Sharing · · Score: 1

    OK! Give me some cash!
