  1. Gotta Save This One... on U.S. IT Infrastructure Highly Vulnerable · · Score: 1

    Uhmmmmmmm, I guess I'll have to add this news item to one about chinese spys working for islam that are trying detonate a 'dirty' bomb in bostin next to senitor Kerry's campign head quarters during bushes swearing in.

  2. Re:Photos of the carnage (pun intended) on General Motor's EV1 Electric Cars Scrapped · · Score: 1

    One can only wonder if the share holders of GM are the same as for Cheveron, Mobil, Union76, Shell...

  3. Re:salmacis on MS Files for Broad XML/Word-processing Patent in NZ · · Score: 1

    Its public record that the villagers at Redmond are a mean sprited pack of convicted liars, cheats, and thieves that run a world class monopoly. So why are these bad guys allowed to still do business?

  4. Re:Why there are no abuses on The Continuing Hunt for PATRIOT Act Abuses · · Score: 1

    One of the easiest ways to find traitors is to take people, and treat them like traitors. It works every time.

  5. Re:Realistic? on Software Engineering Demo for a K-5 Career Fair? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Bring a cubical for display, tell everyone the hours of time spent sitting in there.

    Try to explain what the 'Big Blue Room' is.

  6. Re:A little more than that, perhaps on NSA (partially) Declassified · · Score: 1

    I can't help but wonder if anybody has made a coorelation between what has already been printed in the news papers, and what has been 'declassified'?

  7. Re:IDF has smart people working for them ... on Israeli Army Frowns on D&D · · Score: 1

    Live by rules from a group of scocialpathic egos?

    What a great idea for a game!

  8. Re:sometimes things have to hurt. on Microsoft Developers Respond To .NET Criticism · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember hearing the same things when windows 3.1 came out. It would become the death nell of ps/2. Personally, I find .NET's solution to C++ code to be, well, less than an improvement over the version 6.0 product. I guess SUN got it right with JAVA's p-code, and .NET won't even handle XSLT 2.0, when the rest of the world has gone well beyond learning it.

  9. Re:I can see 20 access points... on Free Wi-Fi Threatened? · · Score: 1

    I don't think state government can override federal government. the bylaws of the FCC state clearly that the air waves are free. Maybe houston can ban the transmission of lets say, channel 4?

  10. A Vote From the Heart? on Judge Finds For Apple in ThinkSecret Case · · Score: 1

    One does not have to have a printing press, or a press pass to be journalist. A 'blog' is a journal, by definition. These journals are published to the public. These three people have expressed their views, and told a story from what appears to be from some VERY accurate sources. These three publishers have no agreement with apple computers, and are not bound by any promise by others who have made promises to apple. If a judge said to you, "change your vote, or go to jail." Would you?

  11. Re:British Court system is FAST! on Serial Burglar Caught on Webcam · · Score: 1

    Tony Martin shot and killed a burglar who was running away! His life was not in danger.

    Until the bad guy turns around, and comes back.

    A common statistic is that bad guys will repeat a sucessful 'job', the same way. One could call it, "positive feedback".

    As for a persons life being in danger or not, how does one really know? How can one judge Fear? How can I be benevilent to something that considers me a food source? I feel comfortable selecting me over my attacker, every time, to survive. I really wish that I never have to deal with this issue, but the events in nature leave me no other choice.

  12. Re:Nuclear Rockets ! on Orbital Resort to Launch by 2010 · · Score: 1

    What would be an interesting play of diplomacy is if Iran started using this as a model to advance their own nuclear agenda. To take Islam into space, on nuclear rockets. Come to think about it, NASA is looking for some ways to test out dangerous experiments without alarming its tax base. This just might work to both countries advantage.

  13. Re:Inflatable Space Resort Guest Rule #1 on Orbital Resort to Launch by 2010 · · Score: 1

    I'm long term, going up and down a gravity well is expensive.

    Why does this habitat have to orbit the earth? Couldn't a series of these be 'pushed' to other places of interest?

  14. Re:Too bad, you should read more on Orbital Resort to Launch by 2010 · · Score: 1

    Ok, I'll bite. How does one buy rights to property that is owned by the people of the United States. My, Our taxes paid for it. Now if this guy wants to rent time at the 'Cape, that's a horse of a different nature.

  15. Lets Consider the Math of This on Orbital Resort to Launch by 2010 · · Score: 1

    Is there a mathmatical model to represent a circular tube like object rotating in space that can simulate a 1/nth gravity? I'm thinking its a use of Interial Energy, but what is going to cause me to be 'pushed' to the 'floor' if I should happern to jump and inch or two? I'm thinking along the lines of velcro shoes to make this work.

  16. Re:bah on Microsoft Blocking Wine Users From Downloads Site · · Score: 1

    And why isn't XSLT 2.0 not implimented in .NET? Is there a correlation here?

  17. Re:Next week's news on Microsoft Anti-Spyware to Be Free of Charge · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I tell my kids, "its what you do AFTER you've made the mistake that tells people who you are." As my children get older, it is dawning on them what I mean.

    So I submit this tensor:

    Difference ( Good Guy, Bad Guy ) == The Good Guy can do what the Bad Guy does, but doesn't.

  18. Re:Not blackmail on Gates tried to Blackmail Danish Government · · Score: 1

    The impact of 800 families losing their livelyhood is troubling; But I think the Nietherlands would survive it. Maybe those same 800 people could shed some light on how to use Linux from a Broken-Pane point of view?

  19. Have Pity Man! on Microsoft Researching Patent Law with New Experts · · Score: 1

    Writers Cramp is very painful. What with writing patents all day long. Now the villagers of redmond have to find other sources of patent generation, or their whole economy of patent writing will spin apart.

  20. Re:BOFH? on NASA Prepares Discovery for Launch · · Score: 1

    I have a dream! I see a day when the users of space craft, and purchasers of space craft will walk hand in hand.

    But I also think that dream will be realized in the mojave at Burt Rotan's place. Not at the Cape.

  21. Re:Hmmm on New Orbitz Terms Prohibit Inbound Deep Linking · · Score: 1

    I'm just thinking from a business point of view. If future clients can't be told of orbiz. Then future clients won't use their service. The number one cause of all business failures is that the customer doesn't know the service, is not allowed access to the service for one reason or another.

    What I find VERY irritating is that 'Orbitz' water systems have been around longer than the travel company of the same name. And I got to Google to find the company I REALLY want to do business with.

  22. Re:battlefield on The Cure for Cancer Might be: HIV · · Score: 1

    About 90% of our bodies are bacterial based. Bacteria just don't know when to stop. So um, its kinda like a battle ground in there already. The most interesting part of using an HIV variant is that its RNA based. Other than HIV, there is very little known of RNA based anything.

    You know, I wonder if the students at MIT are accidentally ignoring the RNA part of the cell for logic gate applications?

  23. Re:Are you a liar, or just ignorant? on North Korea Admits to Having Nuclear Weapons · · Score: 1

    Known Facts:

    Bill Gates has security.

    The founders of that third party closed source solution are secure.

    Even the head of security is secure.

    I believe that the rest of us fear the night.

  25. Re:This is why we need a manned mission! on ESA to Deploy Mars Express Radar · · Score: 1

    Well, the first set of data I submit is the ISS. So far its still up there. Some of the stuff that's public information has been around for 50 years. Its almost part of the human record.

    As for for getting materials into space, Mr. Burt R. has shown a method that works, is doable, and is a lot cheaper than the budget model used by NASA.

    Shuttle fuel tanks for mars-cargo-containers. Its common knowledge that one of the last procedures of the shuttle is to 'point' the external fuel tank back 'down'.

    Artificial gravity solutions have been around for 45 years.

    Compost is not a new science. Farming is now a new science. There are plenty of mathmatical models that support what is needed here.

    We could use the money from the Executive branch of the U.S.Government because lets face it, our 'fearless leader' doesn't need it; (white trailer trash that i am humor).
