  1. Research on Most Movies On P2P From Insiders? · · Score: 2, Funny
    researchers examined 285 movies from P2P networks

    Yea, I'm also doing extensive research via p2p applications. Can I please get some RIAA funding?

  2. Re:My problem with the spin-off argument on Top 10 Reasons for a Space Program · · Score: 1

    Like I said, wild dreaming :)

  3. My problem with the spin-off argument on Top 10 Reasons for a Space Program · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...is that, chances are, these technologies will be developed anyway, and they will be developed to solve the problem directly at hand, thus making the research effort cheaper and the results better.

    I mean, so space exploration is going to solve the education problems in the third world? Are farmer boys from africa going to sit at a videoconference lecture held by a professor from Harvard? Give me a break.

    I have no problems with space exploration, but why is it that when it comes to space, there is always a lot of blind dreaming going on?

    Just because space is more entertaining than say, cancer research, it doesn't make it more important.

    And by the way, we have plenty of time for space exploration before the odd meteor hits or the sun explodes..

  4. Re:Economy 101: on The Economist on Open Source in Government · · Score: 3, Insightful
    "Everything is the states fault".

    Spoken like a true ignorant rightie.

    Blaming the MS monopoly or other monopolies for that matter (in Sweden there is a sugar monopoly) on the state, is so dumb my eyes hurt.

  5. micropayments suck on Fame, Fortune and Micropayments · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Everyone with half a brain realized this years ago, no matter how many hype articles there was in the media. Micropayments is great for companies, and a pain in the ass for consumers..

    e-cash? Shut up. We got credit cards, paypal and we dont want more accounts and stuff to keep track of.

  6. Best bug ever on Anniversary of the First Computer Bug · · Score: 5, Funny

    Win98 crashing on Bill Gates in front of millions of viewers.

  7. I bet that guy reads slashdot.. on SCO's Open Letter to Open Source Community · · Score: -1, Troll



    Hey Darl! How about I give you the finger...and you show me the code?

  8. My favorites on Spider Robinson And The State Of Science Fiction · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I love sci-fi fantasy, where you have a completely different universe with some sci-fi and some fantasy aspects (i.e. magic).

    Dune fits into this, as does Star Wars..

    There are other great books as well, although I can't really remember their names.

    Any tips?

  9. Sounds too simplistic on Electronic Voting: Your Worst Nightmares are True · · Score: 1
    HARRIS: Worse than that. Because, you see, a modem is always two way. If you can pull the information in, you can also push it back through the pipeline the other direction. So that means if they can pull the information in, they can also send information back into those machines.

    Sounds too simplistic too me. So, because I have a "modem", I can always edit the information on sites like perhaps Microsoft.com? Not really true.

    Why would they keep score of the voting on an internet server anyway? Keep it offline and let officials phone in the results, I'd say.

  10. At last on Electronic Voting: Your Worst Nightmares are True · · Score: 2, Funny

  12. Good ways on Amphibious Car Beats Urban Congestion · · Score: 2, Funny
    The company responsible, Aquada, suggest it's a good way to avoid congestion.

    Maybe, it's just a good way to avoid profit.

    I have removed *both* white spaces...and it just says it's the wrong link..I've tried both Mozilla and IE, to make sure there was no caching involved..

    I'm sure it's something stupid, but I don't know what..

  17. Re:Quick fix for HREFs viewed by MSIE on AOL Blocks Links from LiveJournal · · Score: 1

    I need this javascript.

    However, when I try to download it, I get this message:

    You're right, it is awful.

  19. Just hype on MIT Everyware · · Score: 1

    This is just hype ppl.

    Every good university has the same thing. This initiative has been talked about so much that I thought MIT would do something really special.

    Have you browsed through the classes on their site?

    There are just some pdf files there. No listing of the books used, or what you are required to read in them for each class. No forums, no timetable, no nothing.

    I mean, it is still great and all, but hardly something that's unique to MIT, or something that works as a course for someone on the outside. All they did was publish the handouts for the students already enrolled.

    YOU ARE A HUGE NERD!

    He was buzy doing lots of projects last time he was interviewed here..

  22. Re:42 == Tea for two on How About A Cup Of The Answer To Everything? · · Score: 1

    That's always how I've interpreted it!

    42 = Four,Two = For two!

    Doing stuff in twos is more fun than doing stuff alone.

    The most basic piece of information consists of two different signals: Yes and No.

    Also, all (well, nearly all) life comes out of two partners mating.

    4 2 is truly the answer to everything...

  23. MS Search? on How Objective Is Microsoft's Search? · · Score: 1

    This is the reason I really don't like MS at all.

    Only a monopoly that has nothing to worry about can get away with screwing the results like this and still come out winning.

  24. RTFA on Open Source Community Approaches SCO · · Score: 1

    If you read the article, it is obvious the linux guys are saying "even if it is 1 million lines", not SCO.

    Seems nobody reads the article anymore. Sheesh.
