  1. Re:Summary - too blanket on Intel vs. AMD - Today's Generation Compared · · Score: 1

    but blanket statements like this really fail

    Uh, this is Slashdot. We are all about making blanket statements and then ripping them apart.

    Welcome aboard!

  2. Re:I can't wait for the sequel!! on Sun May Be Warming Both Earth and Mars · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Most all the political solutions (kyoto) have included their policies that were once rejected. And yes, most of hollywoods considers itself liberal. They do control a good part of the distribution proces.

    Instant Kyoto compliance to help offset Al Gores inconvenient electric bill.

    But when every thing is out there and all the objections and discrediting revolves around blasphemy because the religion says otherwise, I will celibrate that this study was corect. And yes, I did just liken the global wamring science to a religion. It has become one for some people. I'm not saying you, but some people.

    You mean like this or this?

  6. I'm just waiting on New Congressional Bill Makes DMCA Look Tame · · Score: 3, Informative

    I have found nothing on Lamar Smith's webpage.

    It is too new to show up on the THOMAS (Library of Congress) website. Oh, wait. It hasn't been introduced yet.

    H.R. 2391 only comes up as the Safe Communities and Safe Schools Mercury Reduction Act of 2005.

    That said if TFA is accurate then it will be something I oppose and will write to my state Rep about.

  7. Re:Time for a little balance to the propaganda on A Stark Warning On Climate Change · · Score: 1

    I do not know the source of their figures, however JunkScience.com estimates that the US alone has spent about $173,548,050,000 since February 16th, 2005 to theoretically lower the impact of pollution by 0.001799776C. To theoretically impact the temperature by about 3C we would need to spend $289,286,125,055,910.

    I agree polution is a problem, I agree that we need to clean up our act, however an article over at the BBC seems to point out that our cleaning up pollution is increasing the effects of global climate change. See also a previous Slashdot story on this subject.

    If we pollute we increase global warming. If we clean up our act, we increase global warming. Until more data is gathered on the cause of what we see as global warming it is premature to blame man exclusively.

    Again, I do feel we need to clean up our act, however acting prematurely because "we must do something" can cause more harm than good.

    There is a Hauppauge card that supports clear QAM as well as the Linux only pcHDTV card (with support right in MythTV).

    I'm confused. Are you saying the card you are running does not support clear QAM or that ESPN-HD is encrypted?

    Now if this is such promising stuff here then why has it been collecting dust for the past three years? Perhaps our local plasma experts can wade through the technical data in the above mentioned paper and enlighten the rest of us.

  21. Re:No office for Linux? -- A big blunder for MS on No Office For Linux, MS Patents Rejected · · Score: 1

    Yes, but the quality of the American product slipped in relation to the foreign automakers thus leading to their ultimate loss of market share.

    People see MS Office as the superior product. Competing products that are available for free are not achieving market penetration anywhere near that of Office.

    So if Microsoft were to release a Linux version of Office what exactly would keep them using their Microsoft OS? To answer the question: FUD, and that goes out the window as soon as they are making product for Linux.

    After all, if Linux is free and there is an MS Office-like product that is also free why are people paying money for a different product?

    They are not ignoring Linux. Don't fool yourself. They are attempting to manage the situation as best as possible. Anything less than spewing complete vitriol at FOSS will signal the death knell of MS.

  22. Re:No office for Linux? -- A big blunder for MS on No Office For Linux, MS Patents Rejected · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If MS ported Office to Linux, they could take quite a bit of market share away from Open Office

    If MS ported Office to Linux it would lend credibility to the operating system. THAT would be worse than death for Microsoft.

    The illusion that there is no legitimacy to the Linux operating system must be maintained by them. Office on Linux would torpedo that campaign.
