    I don't think you can control your heart my just saying "HEY HEART! YOU DIE NOW!!"... eg, i dont think your mind can control it like breathing - you can stop it until you loose consciousness, and then your body will soon regain itself.

    I have a 70mm disc right here... It holds about 120MB, or about 74:49 of music. What's it say? Fuji MiniDisc. I stick it in this little square thingy here with buttons about the size of one of these here MiniDiscs and it says HELLO! and plays music.

    Now, before everyone goes off the handle saying that it's in their constitutional rights to get intoxicated... No, it isn't. You have the right to do whatever the hell you want with yourself, just as long as it only affects _you_.
    Correct. Here's what I propose: Legalize the drugs, but in a PRIVATE setting. Shoot up all you want in your own house, but dont be caught doing it outside. And the USA should stop burning Columbian coca crops.

  9. Re:Racism is Over in America on Racism At Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    $5B.
    Fsckin' Typical.
    The blacks in my old school wanted to rule the school. Most of the blacks hardly passed. They, like most any 8 year old does, wants to bet their life on either entertainment or sports. Them, being in their teens should friggin realize that: A. "Gee, I'm 14 and can't pronounce 'realized'. I should learn to read."
    B. "Gee, I can hardly talk. Maybe I should take speech."
    Nope. Not one of them. Most of them are the ones that cause rules in the school that wouldn't be there such as:
    A. No hanging jewlery. The blacks of the school would wear extremely long chains and use them to choke eachother.
    B. No weird hairstyles. I had to stop spiking my hair because it rose more than 3" off my head. Some black person caught his grease-filled afro on fire.
    C. No electronic equipment owned by students. You have it, administration owns it. Actually, this one was caused by blacks, too. A few of em got a locker assignment sheet and opened lockers and robbed em.
    Instead, these blacks (I said MOST, not all. This is the problem, most of them think this way, sadly.) decide to:
    A. "That nigga (note: Yes, these blacks call caucasians niggers.) is messin with my girl, yo!" Situation: I was talking with a white (single, single, single.) girl after school. They didn't like it.
    B. "Phat bike, yo! Let's steal it!" Situation: Unlocked bike = free ride.

    Some black people (and whites, but the ratio is more blacks to whites :-/) take the easy way out.
    $5B/7=$714,285,714,285.71 a PIECE. I'm sorry. No
    god damned employer did THAT MUCH DAMAGE to a company. I could see a white person doing this -
    The school I go to is filled with the same type of people. But $5B is an outrageous figure. I bet a lot more than 7 whites have be fired from Microsoft. What, did someone say "No, you stupid , it's NOT LIKE THAT?" I can think of a lot of things to call asians (no offense, they're just big in tech) or any other race, but c'mon. Deal with it, you idiots. They better loose.

  10. Re:Good thing on Diablo2: Apocalypse Now! · · Score: 1

    And ya know what? Ever since the Diablo II Stress Test (HINT: BATTLE.NET DIDN'T PASS THE FSCKING TEST), StarCraft and StarCraft: Brood War have been UNRELIABLE. Can't be sure you can get your friend on the same ISP (cable) as you to join a game, not sure your game will even show up on the list, etc.

  14. Re:What happened to the human genome? on First Sequencing Of Plant Genome · · Score: 1

    Very good opinion on what i see as the "other side", however, I still see the patents as a hinderance. Joe Startup can't, say, make a genetic cure for cancer and then get a license for it without some serious serious venture capital. If these companies weren't so greedy, they could (im no open source zealot) patent it, but "open patent" it, as in, say, Joe Startup can make and patent their cure for cancer, but Joe Patentholder gets rights on the cure for cancer, too. Perhaps that could work?

  15. Re:What happened to the human genome? on First Sequencing Of Plant Genome · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if they're finished or not, but why isn't it helping us? THESE BASTARDS let them have a patent on the DNA that is in every single one of your cells (well, half in gametes, none in red blood cells..), so if I wanted to make a genetic therapy to say, fix colorblindedness, I would have to pay one of the Human Genome project's sponsors.

    Whoops! Just wanted to correct you: Reactor-grade ANYTHING can be made into weapons grade. It just takes A HELL OF A LOT MORE. I can't remember the figures. Also, there isn't a "Pu-238". You either meant Pu-239 or U-238.

  20. Good Support! on The "Glory" Of Tech Support · · Score: 1

    I have cable with a local provider. They have EXCELLENT SUPPORT. I have a 2GB/month transfer limit that is not enforced. When there is an outage, I can call them up, give them my name and number, and they will reimburse me for the down time. It is figured out from how much you transfer in a month divided by how much you pay. I get small notes on my bill, like: "SusCom Cable Modem Downtime: 35mins: $.05. Sorry!".
    Why couldn't a DSL provider do this? Also, since the switches are fully controlled by computers, why can't they shut the DSL off right away? I got into an argument with an operator, and my local phone service was shut off IN SECONDS. Then, I got on my cell phone, filed a complaint, and had service BACK, IN SECONDS. DSL should be just as simple. The Baby Bells have the funds. Use them. And, with reading this article, treat your employees better. They'll preform better.

    Well. Not too optimistic are we Luke? Need I remind you: Distributed.net won the RC5-56 contest.
    D.net didn't participate in DES-I because of RC5-56.

    D.net lost the DES-2-II contest to EFF's Deep Crack machine. The Deep Crack finished DES-2-II in 5 days.
    D.net won the DES-III contest. This was the final DES contest, and the EFF's Deep Crack machine processed the winning key.
    D.net won the CS-Cipher challenge in about 2 months.
    D.net is currently working on OGR and RSA's RC5-64 challenge. I'd say the engineers and coders of distributed.net are NOT a bunch of idiots, thank you very much.
