  1. my uses for it on High-res Volumetric 3D Display Prototype · · Score: 1

    1-real time stock market intutitive trading- 2-detailed modelng for remote guided weapons 3-p0rn

  2. When will we have just one box? on X-Box Limitations (Hemos Is Dumb) (Yes, I am) · · Score: 1

    Why don't people universalize platforms and have all tools and toys in one box that anyone can have and use- it should have universal wireless access- oh well we all have dreams

  3. The race i$ on!!! on The Scientific Internet · · Score: 2

    The real race is now how will you find a way to make money of this new medium- It will probably involve p0rn, and create several millionaires...... Of course, the scientist will not see a dime....

  4. Even shutting down the Gov mail servers sends.... on Million E-mail March · · Score: 1

    A message- and you have to admit that the wealthy, well educated, actually capable of registering and voting e-elite should take some kind of interest in goverment.

  5. Connections are the rule of the land on Peter Wayner On The Spread Of Information · · Score: 1

    Presidential choices: son of a president vs son of a powerful senator Movies stars- Hmm lets see- Harvard grad and frined of current vp Tommy Lee Jones or nephew of famous director Nick Cage (actually last name Coppola)-- the lst goes on and on, and IT geeks are kidding themselves if they think it doesn't happen in IT. Because IT is so new, it hasn't happened yet. But the sons, daughters, and idiot nephews of Gates, Torvald and othrs will come to rule the world in the next 20 years- If you don't believe in an American Caste system you're blind. Not that I'm going to join a militia oranthing.

  6. (shudder) Bill gates was ahead of the game,sorta on The United States Losing "The Tech Edge?" · · Score: 1

    He was talking about a global wireless internet and was trying some long term strategic things to control it. (about 3-4 years ago) We were all going to have watch sized computer/cell phones hooked up 24/7 to the net no matter where we were- But all he really did was close off all the others who would go into that area, then fumble the execution himself. So in the US it's a big empty space. However, it seems pretty silly in a way to talk about "US loses it's edge"- I mean it's not the code war, and it is no longer country vs. country it's big multinationals vs. each of us, even if (espcially if) you work for one.

  7. Does Carnivore Matter? Wouldn't most ISP's roll.. on Court to FBI - Full Public Review Of Carnivore · · Score: 1

    over, with paws up in the air, when the FBI walked in with a court order to disclose this information? Of course the Feds can access your email any time they want, without any new software.

  8. What effect does carnivore have on Webbased email on Emergency Hearing About Carnivore - Updated · · Score: 1

    ..if any? If The g-men can sniff you isp account, couldn't you just use hotmail or whatever to do your naughty bits? My fundemental objection to Carnivore is that it will give a lot of access to much more data than is readily apparent, and that it is likely to end up in some pretty odd places. For example, many states sell the names and addresses and makes and years of cars that you have to give to be granted a drivers licence. So marketers could guess your income from your zip code, and know the when you would be likely to need a new car, and target you that way. Imagine Carnivore data being sold, so that everyone who wrote an email mentioning a product finds themselves targeted by spammers- Is there a policy stopping the feds from selling data that they gather on us?

  9. IT folks, you are no worse than anybody else on Selfish Society · · Score: 1

    In working during my college years at very pompus and stuffy club,(supposedly the social cream of the city, a lot of old money) to working with officals in state goverment, working with "top dog" sales people and headhunters, working with people in the investment community, and working with IT folks, I've got to say on the whole the tech nerds really aren't any worse than anybody else- take out the part about technology and it would apply to everyone. As selfish as web cyber squatters are, it's just as bad when the idiot nephew of the State Highway commisioner buys a block of land just before it's announced where the offramp that doubles lands the value will be. The sales manager to bounce an empty soda bottle off the head of a homless person thru the window of his Lexus is no less insensitive than the techie who does the same. The only difference is the salesman will have a suit on when he does it. A class action lawsuit billionaire laywer is probably going to be as big a butt head as Bill Gates. Walmart does to Mom and Pops the world over what Microsoft does to Software Co's. Any group of young priveleged people are going to be the same, if they made six figures from technology, sales, law, finance- hey it is all the children of the white rich educated people, and whatever major you declared just decides what area you'll be you totally self centered self in. It is just the ruling class doing what it does-join or be crushed.

  10. Re:What free software? on Are Linux Reviews Fixed? · · Score: 1

    To be anon and take that tone reveals much more about your willingness to take responsiblity for your inability to interact with others than about the previous posters intellect.
