    It would be if you could spell, sorry!

    Geekdom at it's finest.

  5. Re:Its 1 rule for the US , another for everyone el on Bhopal Disaster Revisited [updated] · · Score: 1

    Explain worse then Pinocet, Iraq, or killing 3000 people because proper safety regulations would chew too much of the profit margin up?

  6. Re:Its 1 rule for the US , another for everyone el on Bhopal Disaster Revisited [updated] · · Score: 1

    So this justifies all of the atrocities being commited in your name?

    What exactly is your point?

  7. Re:Dow-chem chairman Warren Anderson on Bhopal Disaster Revisited [updated] · · Score: 1

    What does this have to do with the topic at hand, mainly the head of a company being criminally liable for the deaths caused by his plant.

    How does other events justify UC avoiding responsability?

  8. Re:Why the 2012 implementation date for Kyoto? on Kyoto Treaty to Enter Into Force · · Score: 1

    You smoke 2 packs a day.

    There is no direct link that if you smoke, you will definatly get lung cancer.

    Should you stop smoking?

  9. Re:Consequences? on Kyoto Treaty to Enter Into Force · · Score: 2, Informative

    How about backing up some of this with links to news articles that aren't from Foxnews?

  10. Re:Just one thing that very few learn... on Blackhat/Defcon Report · · Score: 1

    Who do you think Vegas Casinos hire to run their security departments?

  11. Re:BIG BROTHER on UN Takes Aim At Spam Epidemic · · Score: 1

    No one else noticed the parallel between the the novel writing machines and the trash that fills the Best Sellers racks of Chapters, B&n, Amazon, (insert favourite book store here)?

  12. Re:Maybe I should move to Canada, eh? on Canadian High Court Says ISPs Don't Owe Royalties · · Score: 1

    It applies out here in BC as well.

  13. Re:I'm still scraching my head on Sony Projector Gets Bright Images From Black Screen · · Score: 1

    Each of these RGB projectors emit a broad amount of wavelengths surrounding the wavelength that's reflected by the screen. So even though the projector it emiting more wavelengths then the screen reflects, only the narrow band that the screen is designed to reflect, reflects.

    Therefore you can use any RGB projector as long as the wavelengths emitted for each colour contains the narrow band that the screen will reflect.

  14. Ivory Tower on Why Users Blame Spatial Nautilus · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This article is what is wrong with the OSS community. Simply because one disagrees with the author, that person is wrong wrong wrong.

    I *hated* the folder diarrhea that began with Mac OS. Some people love it. The option to turn it off and on should be an easily configured checkbox in the app, not something "hidden" in the gconf setup.

  15. Re:That's the same combination on my luggage! on Sprint Routers Stolen; NYC Internet Outage Ensues · · Score: 1

    http://imdb.com/title/tt0094012/

    Spaceballs my good man

  16. Piracy and Video Game Sales on Engaging Debate on Piracy and Videogaming · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Something that I've observed lately with a lot of games has been that cracks have come out that will support an early version of the release. Once the game-crippling bugs have been fixed (corruption in low ver Civ3 anyone?), the crackers have either moved on, or the software has been changed to the point that the game is no longer crackable.

    What does this have to do with anything? Well, for one, there has been a great deal of games that my friends and myself have bought that there is no way we would have without a "Try before you buy" version floating around. I mean, who really wants to shell out $50 for 5 hours of MP2? If I'm going to be spending $10 an hour on personal entertainment, then she should have at least shaved that day.

    Sublety?

  20. Re:Patenting Science and Research on Scientists Invent Scientist · · Score: 0

    I don't think that finding cases of prior art would be too difficult in this case.

    The US government's?

  22. Re:Famous? on Janis Ian on the Internet Debacle · · Score: 0

    Thanks for the links mate. :)

  23. Re:You can say a lot of bad things about MS on A Selective History Of The Keyboard · · Score: 0

    The Anir "mouse" looks pretty interesting, but I would be worried about a lack of presicion with it. Have you had many problems with that, or is it just part of the learning curve?

  24. Re:Thanks...I'm about 2/3 through Red Mars on Space Elevator May Become Reality · · Score: 0

    Stick with it. The books are more a commentary about the social-political structure that may come out of the world that is today, with some cool Mars problems put in.

    Like most good science fiction, there is substance beneath the gadgets and the like.

    (But if you're almost throught the first one, then you probably know that already)

  25. Re:Made Too Late on The Amazing Lego DAT Tape Changer · · Score: 0
