WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?! "Slashdot requires you to wait 20 seconds between hitting 'reply' and submitting a comment." God Damnit, I'm sorry I type faster than the average bear!
"that noone is responsible for their actions but themselves"?!?!
Don't you "mean no one"?!
Again, see previous post and at least try to make it look like you have a 6-th grade education!
"Just a reminder that are networks need to be as secure on the inside as they should be on the outside." "ARE networks?"?!?! Jeebus. Just because someone submitted it that way doesn't mean you need to post it like that. Fix the shit, for God's sake! Make it look like you have at least a 6th-grade education!
Sure, raise a big fuss over Futurama. Family Guy (also on Fox, and a much funnier and much better show than Futurama) was cancelled and I didn't see jack on here about it. It's nice to know that the "journalists" on here take it upon themselves to champion the shows they find amusing while leaving other things conveniently unmentioned.
I think that the people that are working on this hydrogen powered aircraft are using the WTC tragedy as an unfortunate publicity tool for what will probably turn out to be a dead end.
If hydrogen were actually a viable alternative to jet fuel, there would be more research into it and we'd hear more about it. Unfortunately, because everyone's awareness is hightened about the WTC collapse after the crash, people begin to think that there needs to be a solution to this "problem."
Think of it this way though. Is there really a "problem" with planes crashing into large buildings and causing them to collapse? While the WTC was an unfortunate accident, it was isolated and is not a common enough occurance to warrant completely changing the fuel that aircraft run on.
My deepest sympathies go out to those affected by the horrific tragedy of September 11, but I don't think that hydrogen is the solution.
Does anyone believe in capitalism and the free market any more? I go to Purdue and the "Purdue Students Against Sweatshops" have been out in full force with their protestes that Nike is evil because they run sweatshops...etc. They claim that these people that work there are starving to death because they're being treated unfairly by Nike, blah blah blah. Does any one think that if it was that bad, that they would go find a job somewhere else? Even PSAS said that these people were in the middle of an "industrial section of mexico." Doesn't that imply LOTS OF JOBS? The free market is the only way to go. I agree that sweatshops exist and that working conditions are probably pretty crappy there, but hey, it isn't like there aren't other jobs out there. Workers should make themselves more marketable with education or work ethic. If they feel that they have this and aren't being treated fairly, GET A NEW JOB!!! Does anyone else feel this way? Please, I hope the answer is "yes."
How do you expect NASA to "explore other planets, discover faster means of interstellar travel, and search for artificial intelligence" without a space station? I feel that we should have had a space station long ago (during the Reagan administration, the Freedom space station was proposed, but it never flew), however due to low funding and lack of interest from the public and politicians, these things don't seem to happen. The Skylab disaster? Skylab was doomed because it was damaged during launch. It was never fully functional, so that's why it was a "disaster," as you call it. However, most of it was salvaged (thank you, Pete Conrad). So what does Skylab have to do with your argument? How can you say that we should be doing "better" things when we aren't doing the basics? Part of all the things you said we should be doing requires extended stays in space for astronauts, so a space station is integral to your "plans." I suggest you re-think your position before saying that we're just building crap.
This sounds like a great idea to me. People work on the ergonomics and functionality of an operating system to allow maximum productivity with the least amount of input. Something like this is definitely a step in the right direction. I personally can't wait to see this implimented.
While I've never done it, I personally don't see what's wrong with overclocking a chip. If you take it upon yourself to mess with the chip speed settings, etc. and you F-it up, it's your own fault. Just don't go crying to AMD/Intel/whatever saying that their chip sucks. They designed it to run at that speed and the designed speed was surpassed, making any kind of warranty, etc. void. So why did AMD block out the ability to overclock these new chips? I don't know. But they are taking away a freedom enjoyed by many people in the overclocking community-the ability to tinker and learn from tinkering. This is one of the best ways to learn-by doing. That's how I got my start working with computers. I think that AMD is making a big mistake by locking out the ability to overclock their chips.
If they can tap a phone, why not an email address? To me, it just seems like the next logical step in technology. I don't feel that it infringes on privacy or anything like that, as long as it is used with the same discression that they (hopefully) use on phone taps. The only reason anyone should actually be worried about this new technology is if they've got something to hide.
What do you hope to accomplish by coming and insulting my posting? I feel that what I said was relavent and true. It WILL be only a matter of time until the next best thing comes out, etc etc etc. Why you have to make fun of my major is beyond me and why should I learn how to use a Mac? This kind of response is what we want to see NONE of on shashdot.

How does this get moderated up to five? That's not funny. A man dressed in women's clothing...now that's funny.
I love the Simpsons.
I'm sure I'm not the first one to say this, but

DETAILS MAN, DETAILS! You left them out, I love this kind of story, so fill in the details. I, for one, would like to read them.

While this is great, I believe that it'll just be a matter of time before this "secure" protocol is hacked/cracked and is again insecure.
