  1. Re:News on High-Tech Firms Worry About Taiwan-China Tensions · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So you are saying that Taiwan doesn't have the right to become independent? The would would be a better place if China was more like Taiwan.

  2. Yes. on High-Tech Firms Worry About Taiwan-China Tensions · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Micron is based in the USA.

  3. Amazing isn't it! on High-Tech Firms Worry About Taiwan-China Tensions · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Amazing what killing/jailing those who disagree you does. Also, it doesn't hurt if you keep most of your population at damn near the global poverty level.

  4. Ok. on San Francisco's Got Free Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that this was publicly funded. It appears that I was incorrect and for this I apologize.

  5. Repeat after me. on San Francisco's Got Free Wi-Fi · · Score: 0, Insightful

    This is paid for by tax dollars. That doesn't make it free, it means you already pay for it with the taxes you already pay.

  6. Slowdown? on Online Backup vs. Tape Backup? · · Score: 1

    Slowdown? Between systems on my localnet work I can get at least 2-5 MB/s while transfering 10+GB using ssh with compression.

    I am not so sure that SSH would slow things down enought that you would notice.

  7. You are talking out your ass. on Groklaw Outlines More SCO Linux Contributions · · Score: 2, Flamebait

    The JFS code came from OS/2, not from AIX.

    Please, if you don't know what you are talking about, don't present it as fact.

    Would it have killed you to have added the words I think somewhere in that sentence?

  8. Only on /. on iTMS Named Fortune's Product Of The Year · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Only on /. can commenting about one of the linked articles get you 2 down mods for being off topic.

    What is wrong with the mod system?

  9. Because. on iTMS Named Fortune's Product Of The Year · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Because people have to buy food, shelter and utilities. That is why most (1st world)human enterprises have some sort of monetary component.

  10. What in the hell? on iTMS Named Fortune's Product Of The Year · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    From one of the linked pages.

    "PAPER SHREDDER (right)

    Why it's so cool It's the best-looking shredder we've ever seen. While it's slow, it looks so friendly you won't mind the wait. Bonus: A built-in pencil sharpener."

    So it is slow, but it looks pretty? Shouldn't the design work nicely and look good?

    Sorry, I don't donate money to people with 10's of millions in the bank.

  13. AHHHH! on Space Shuttle to be Outfitted with New Sensors · · Score: 0

    Now, we do need to spend a fortune on a new SatV. You know why? Because they killed almost everything involved with the SatV program, up to and including destroying the plans and all the custom machines to make the SatV. And do you kow why? So it would not be a 'problem' for the program that gave use the shuttle.

    At least that is what I have been told.

    surat number 29, verse 29, "fight against those who believe not in Allah; nor in the last day, nor forbid that which have been forbidden by Allah and his messenger Mohammed; and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth, Islam, among the people of the scripture.

  15. You are wrong. on Rockstar Investigated Over GTA - Vice City · · Score: 1

    What they, and most other groups of this type, is for Rockstar to 'donate' to them to show how sorry they are for what the did.

    It is all about money.

    Then wouldn't that make Islam illegal? After all, some portions of the Koran say that those that follow Allah to kill all Jews?

    You see, one should not be punished for what they THINK, they should be punished for what they do.

    Lasty, don't forget. Laws like these could be turned around to come after you.

  18. Re:Hmm. on ICANN Troubles At UN Summit On Internet · · Score: 1

    First you sound like an inmature little kid.

    Second, the USA doesn't own all the worldwide interconnects. I suggest you check to see who owns the undersea cables & sat links that comprise those interlinks. You will find that quite a few of them are not owned by firms based in the USA.

    And once the UN understands that the 1st adm. has to apply to everyone then the UN will be on the path to stoping being a country club for dictators.

  19. SO? on ICANN Troubles At UN Summit On Internet · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What does it matter? Since the goal of the murders in charge of china is to place the entire country behind a massive filtering/logging firewall does it really matter how many they have?

    Does Esther Dyson DO anything? I mean other than just talk?

    This isn't a joke nor is it a troll. I am curious as to what she does.

    And why should we hand over what control we have on the internet to others? Nothing is stoping them from building their own TCP/IP internetwork.

  24. It's like the word nigger. on Rockstar Censors GTA After Haitian Outcry · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    If white people say it, it is the most horrible word in the English language and who ever spoke it is guilty of being a racist. But, when it is used in urban music or on the street by nonwhites suddenly it is ok.

    I wish someone would explain the logic of that to me.
