  3. Re:Ten years later... on GM Mosquito Could Fight Malaria · · Score: 1

    Mosquitos can transmit virus, and if it picked up the AID virus and bites someone else in a matter of minutes then yes it can
    be. TB and other blood born viruses too. It's not public knoledge because it will cause a scare. It's a real problem in
    dense populations. Google it. look for yourself.

  4. Reads like a Horror Movie script to me. on GM Mosquito Could Fight Malaria · · Score: 1

    Imagine something going horribly wrong here... Instead of of wiping Malaria, a new gentically engineered super virus is spread.

    Hmmmmmmm...

    I kind of think if you live in a densly populated area, and right next door someone has TB or worse, and a mosquito bites the infected person and in a matter of a minute you get bit by the same insect, I believe you can get infected.

    Viruses are not living things. It's genetic code with a protein coating. You can oblitorate it by destroying it, microwave it,
    burn it, so my question is... how long can a virus stay intact when it's been ingested by a parasitic insect? And... under the
    right condition can that virus be transmitted? I really think so.

  5. WTF is this guy? on Shuttleworth Tells Linux Users to Stop Being So Fussy For OEMs · · Score: 1

    I've got a Shuttle PC with AMD dual core! It's fast! I use vmware to test new releases.
    I also have a Power Mac with the dual 970 (the G5) that runs Linux and OS/X well.
    I beat up on nvidia every day because they are holding up NVIDIA support on Linux/MAC
    There's a reverse engineering project currently going on so hopefully soon!

  6. Hmm this confirms my suspicion on Billion Dollar Handout To Upgrade TVs · · Score: 1

    Here's my theory on teleivision. The US governemnt depends on it to be used as a pacifier. Imagine what we as people can
    do if we didn't sit on the couch and watch tv all evening! So, the government doesn't want us to go without television, and
    the sponsors want you to watch thier advertisments, so they cam up with this.

    I watch less television now than ever before. Sure I watch House, Lost, and 24, but even those show are starting to bore me.
    I'd rather be researching a project, working on the house ,or doing something else. 24 has gotten too predictable. Me and my
    Wife and sons goof on whats gonna happen next. Admit it, you knew Logan was gonna get stabbed by his ex wife, and damn it's too easy to guess who's leaking the satellite data from CTU, it's the Middle Eastern chick, that who. There.. watch next monday I am correct. If I am I am not gonna watch it anymore.

    So, challenge yourself to not watch tv this week! Life is too short!

  10. 2020, we should be on Mars, not the Moon! on NASA's New Mission to the Moon · · Score: 1

    When I was a kid in Jr. High School..... 1978, NASA claimed they'd launch a Mars mission by 2013. Instead
    they built a shuttle and sunk all sorts of money into OLD technology. Let face it, they didn't innovate. I would have loved to
    see a spacecraft that took off like a jet. So imagine, instead of a rocket liftoff you take off like a jet, accelerate into space.
    Instead it's a gliding brick that' soon to be retired. Now a manned Moon mission is deemed a worthy trip again? If we were to
    tunnel into the moon and build a moonbase where we could launch a spacecraft that was powered by a nuclear reaction.. man that
    would be cool. I doubt I'd see a manned Mars mission in my lifetime.

    I have my own theory. The earth has a molten iron core that rotates at a faster speed than the earth right?
    I bet it's from that, not the friggen ocean. maybe the oscillations from the molten core resonate through the

    X server enhancements, damn I won't miss OS/X much. gotta love the new 3D desktop. It's awesome on my AMD Linux box.
    I gotta get it on my G5, then I can sell my AMD box and put more memory in my G5. Or save up for a quad AMD box.

  16. The guy that posted this is a Mother Fudder! on 10 Years of Pushing For Linux — and Giving Up · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hmm. I rolled out Linux Corporate wide. The only problem I had was convincing the administration that a service contract is NOT Neccesary and that I'm better off with the Whitebox Kickstart server I built rather than DAMN REDHAT! I built Linux
    database/application clusters, a sendmail server that outperformed Exchange. I substituted LDAP for the addressbook and wrote
    my own damn fuzzy search so if some idiot can't spell a name correctly hell I can still list a user that has a name that sounds like what was typed. The problem with coporate deployments is because too many managing bean counters listen to FUD. All I say is wait until Vist get's crammed down everyone's throughs. I even refuse to upgrade my Mac G5 with dual a 970MP to OS/X 10.5 leapard.
    I'm gonna leave it at 10.4.6. Why cause DRM shit is gonna lock up leapord up eventually. I've got code I wrote for my Linux and
    G5 so I can mange my mpeg files on my IPOD. I can copy them off the ipod with no problem. That's gonna get locked on leapard.
    I've got my Linux and OS/x hosts doing what I want. Now getting back to coporate. I've built clusters with Linux connected to
    EMC storage Arrays that can keep up with IBM P5 systems. How do I know, my company that I worked for had an IBM Mainframe, An AS400, An 8 processor P5, and an Linux cluster that consisted of 6 Dell 6650's dor database, 12 2550's for application servers,
    6 Concurrent managers, 2 configured in a cluster as a mail hub running GFS, 2 servers in a load balancer to offer IMAP, and POP
    connections. The system screamed.

    So, if any of you need consulting on the side, hell that's how you earn the big $$$ with Linux, drop me an email, maybe I can design a KILLER system on the side. I'm happy where I am now so I'm not moving. I get to play with P5 hardware, turning the
    company on to Linux Cluster, educating to what DRM is actually all about.

    So heck... Now you know why I call this guy a Mother Fudder, he don't know jack shit and it sounds like FUD to me.

  19. that's why I own a Dual Core G5 Mac Pro! on Apple/NVidia Driver Bug — Question Deleted · · Score: 2, Interesting

    hmm... When the PowerMacs first came out, they only worked with specific memory from a specific manufacturer. I had the
    original Dual processor 2.0Ghz G5. well, when I discovered a memory timing issue I was able to return the box for full
    credit and got a Dual Core G5 with PCI/Express slots. I used standard Corsair PC-4200 memory when I upgraded to 4GB or RAM
    and have had no problems. I looked at the design of the new Intel MacPRo.. I decided that I would rather stay with my trusty
    G5 dual core. It runs Linux and OS/X well, I haven't had any lockups at all. I just wish the NVIDIA drivers were open source so
    I can get 3D with Linux. For now I need two boxes, my AMD barton based PC Shuttle, and my Dual Core G5, both connected to my
    belken USB/audio KVM.

    My son managed to get OS/X running on his AMD Dual Processor Clone! My G5's Disk I/O is faster, We are still comparing CPU/Memory
    video speed. Some benchmarks his box is faster, but not all.. even though his cpu clock speed is faster my box beats many of his
    benchmarks. I've always been a fan of the PowerPC CPU. And at work, I use it's big brother, the P5.. it's a kick ass processor.

    I would like to see Apple use the P6 processor for new designs. That would be awesome!

    hmm... If you believe in outsourcing then you are no better than a drug dealer.
    Your willing to sell out your country's future just to make a buck.

    I was an Systems Engineer at Welch Foods. The CIO that was in place retired, a bean
    couting soon of a bitch was promoted to be the new CIO. Under his direction the company decided to outsource IT. I was asked to teach the "offshore" team about my code and
    Linux / Oracle Cluster layout. I put it off for 6 months and ecouraged my colleges to
    get thier resumes out. They did, and so did I. I did not teach the remote team. I
    left for my new position somewhere else, and gave myself a little vacation in between.
    I touched base with some of the non techies that were my friends, they said it's not the
    same without me and my friends. It not takes weeks, not hours to get get some custom coding done. It takes a several weeks to get Oracle patches in, the remote team has a high
    employee rollover rate. Welchs deals with new people every 4 months.
    hey... no love lost here. If they were willing to sell me and my friends out, then
    too bad.

    I'm no scholar in russian politics, but I can read people pretty well. I believe when Putin got "elected" it was the beginning of
    brining back the old ways, after all, Putin "was" a former KGB agent. Can you blame the people? Yeltsin was the equivalent of
    George W. Bush to us. well.. maybe even worse. The last great leader Russia had was Gorbechev. I don't trust Putin, lets see
