  1. Re:the dome animation looks useless on Contour Crafting - Extrude-a-House · · Score: 1

    The way that the mechanism works, it would be easy to allow for any kind of doorway you want. Just because there isn't one in the example doesn't mean that it isn't possible. That may be a roof or something.

    from a temp agency that saw my resume on monster.com. I had put the resume there only two weeks earlier. At the time, I only had 7 months experience in the IT industry. I was hired permanantly by the first company they placed me with 6 months later and have been here for nearly 3 years now.

  10. Let the call go out..... on Chinese Internet Censorship Proves Difficult · · Score: 2, Insightful

    to all oppressors of the human spirit, your end is at hand.

    The forces of freedom and technology now walk hand in hand.
    There now exists the most powerful weapon in the war against ignorance since the printing press.
    A weapon that has evaded, and will continue to evade, every attempt to control it that has ever been made, including by the country that spawned it.

    Those who desire freedom will not stop until they attain it.

    You can not stop them.
    You can not slow them down.
    Kill them, and more will rise in thier place.
    Try to silence them, and they will whisper in secret and be heard the world over.
    Stand in their way, they will go around you,
    over you,
    under you,
    and eventually, through you.

    Try to make criminals of those who wish only to think and say as they wish, and you will be exposed to millions as the criminal that you are.

    Try to keep secret your evil actions, and you will fail miserably.

    As someone said long ago " This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. ... We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals."

    No government whose survival depends on the oppression and ignorance of its people deserves to exist.

    How long to you think you can keep your iron grip on your citizens when they begin to learn how much better thier lives can be and they rise against you?

    This is the Information Age. The truth can be spread to all corners of the earth in the blink of an eye. How long can a nation survive which relies on disinformation and lies?

  13. Re:Can Someone Explain Forensics? on More MyDoom Gloom · · Score: 1

    I don't think that has anything to do with the code. I think that has more to do with following the infection trail back to its source.

  14. Re:Am I the only one? on More MyDoom Gloom · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Umm.. Dude. I'm as big a Douglass Adams fan as the next guy, but he didn't invent every figure of speech in the english language. Some expressions (such as wet slap) did, in fact, exist before he first used them.

  18. Re:Trade Secrets??? on SCO Code to be Protected in Closed Court · · Score: 1

    I didn't say that it would work ;)

  19. Re:Trade Secrets??? on SCO Code to be Protected in Closed Court · · Score: 1

    Very simple. If nobody knows what code is infringing, they can't replace it with non-infringing code. They don't want to protect their IP, they just want to force people to pay for it.

  20. On the off chance that there IS infringing IP... on SCO Code to be Protected in Closed Court · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Do you think that the court can be made to understand that the only reason SCO doesn't want anyone to know what code is infringing is that two hours later, nobody is going to be using that particular code any more and therefore won't owe SCO anything?

  21. Doc Oc's accent on Spider-Man 2 Preview Online · · Score: 3, Funny

    Isn't Doc Oc suppose to have a east european accent? I guess in today's politically correct world we can't portray ANY foreign person as the bad guy, in fiction anyway.

    It has been a little while since I saw the movie, but it looked to me like some kind of liquid iron solution. (that's probably all it could have been)

    There might not have been enough for him to do anything with. With what Mystique put into the guard, there was still only enough to make three little pellets.
