  1. Re:CPU? on Apple releases iPod · · Score: 2

    I can't afford it either, however I would like to see those features for THAT price. The comments for this article have links to all sorts of devices with MORE storage.

    And I was talking about apples double speak, but color would be neat for certian aspects like keeping with apples aesthetic (not needed but neat mind you) :)

  2. CPU? on Apple releases iPod · · Score: 2

    Whats the cpu? Speed? Is it Risc based? Is it (iPod) flashable for the entire os (not just the codecs)? Can you run linux on it?
    :)

    Anyone else think its funny how they werer toting OS X as great because of how its gui looks and how bland others were (even compairing them to a 6 line LCD) and here they are releasing something that doesnt even have color. Irony.

    Pretty neat, but it wont be as cool untill someone hacks it and finds a way to put in a 40 gig drive of the same form factor.

    Strongarm is a RISC based processer which of course means that it is related to the big-endian architecture. A 200mhz CISC processer is nothing in my real world experence. But your miles may vary. But this is A PDA, so you will probley like it alot more than a 200mhz p in your fanny pack.

  8. Re:Enterprise Theme song... on Farscape Signs for 2 More Years · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I hate the theme song. It is the worst pile of shit song I have Ever heard from a sci-fi show. This show should be set apart from the rest of Tv. It should be part of the Star Trek family, where like Star Wars, it has an orriginal score. Nothing could be worse than what they have now. Well I take it back, it could be worse if it had NSYNC's new cd for the theme.

    The reason that I have a cell phone is because I dont like to be tied to the teather of my email (checked from home, where i work) and because I dont want to be teathered to my home phone either. Being a computer consultant is a job where you dont want to HAVE to be at home to get a call.

  13. As Much as people hate redhat on Red Hat Reports (tiny) Loss, Revenue Slip · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They are giving a good name to Linux in a few ways. If we didnt have them, linux would still be here (even for the better some might say) but I am sure that it would take people some time to adjust. They need something to hold onto in their head as a sign of quality. Colors and shapes comprise good names, just like a logo that can be drawn in the sand is constant reminder of how it (a company name) sticks with us. Redhat might not be the best (or perhaps you think they are) but they are doing something with Gnu/Linux that might have taken years to do. Thank them for that.

However I would like to say that Adrian is a true hacker. One conversation with him and you will come to this understanding. True hacking can transend computers and into social aspects like Adrian has aparently done.

    Well i suppose that it could have happened if someone else trained them, but I was also implying that they might not have ATTACKED us if we hadnt turned on them. Are they bombing germany? Or any other isreal supporters? Or are they attacking us first as a sign that turning your back on them is less than a good idea.

    I will take the bait and bite this bullshit.
    We can't help if the people we train and help turn on us. That's a fact of human nature, and has nothing to do with the situation at hand. But yes, I do believe that this event or one similar would have occured even if we had not trained bin Laden. We didn't train those that actually performed this deed though. And I'm really not sure what your question has to do with the quoted sentence.


    We trained them because we wanted to use them for our objective at the time (to fight russia for us). This event might have happened as a result of something else, however IT DID NOT. Just because your going to die one day from *something* doesnt give me the right to KILL you.

    Bullshit, it was moronic fanatics that were so in-capable of thinking for themselves that they would sacrifice themselves for evil that killed those people.

  18. Re:Slashdot user comments and prayer on Handling the Loads · · Score: 2

    I agree. Stop praying for the dead, no where in the bible does it say that it will help the souls of the dead. This is purely selfish. Stop the others from dying. Dont pray out loud, vote to change the policys that helped kill these people.

    Religion is the opium of the masses.
    Its also the cynide.

    It was religion, both Christian and muslim, that brought us this tragedy. So no, I won't shutup and be respectfull when you want to go on praying

    Correction it was a beliefe so strong (in god) that people forgot that respecting someone elses right to live was more important than a quick trip to heaven.

    As firm beleiver in the seperation of church and state, I find the President declaring a "national day of prayer" downright un-American. The point is to remove religious interference or endorsement from the government. As an atheist I find it wrong to have the President thrust prayer in my face

    Well as a Satanist, it makes no difference to me if its the president or the people pulling the puppets strings. Its a sign of the comming of war and the best way to touch a heart is to reach out to a feable mind.

    If not with religion, how else would you suggest venting all the feeling that the poeple of America have about this?

    Well I guess you should let others off the hook for their crimes because they couldnt think of a better way to deal with their pain.

    Can you think of anything more calming than a religious service of the types that have been going on these past few days after the Attack On America?

    Yes I can. .Thought.

    It might not be exactly constitutional to thrust prayer into your face, but it sure does help a whole lot of people out there.

    Then dont do it, or change the laws.

    No matter who you are (from my experience at least), religious services are very comforting, and alot of people need comfort right now. Tell that to the alter boys raped when they were looking for comfot. I guess if you think that all people get comfort out of that type of thing, by all means availible to you should get out more.

    The President's asking for a day of prayer and remeberance does not violate the 1st Amendment.

    He doesnt represent me, and harm may come to me as a result of his statement.

    As for removing religious interferance or endorsement, look at a Dollar bill, it says "In God We Trust."and it has Masonic symbolism.


    Just because it has, doesnt mean it should. Get a pen and change it. I do.

    This tragedy was caused by a radical, militant, fanatical misinterpretation of Islam.

    Perhaps, or this is your take on it and the islamic faith.

    Neither religion teaches violence or hate.
    But both leave enough up to you to let you choose interpretations that fit your end.

    But remember that America was founded on principles relating to God and religion
    And the freedom there of.

    Therefore I think DIScouraging prayer is un-American

    And thats great, I am glad that I fight for your rights to say that. Now try real hard to think that if you didnt have that right where we would be.

    Nearly all our founding fathers acknowledged God, if not Jesus.

    Not all, but those that did certianly did not like the fact that they were being told what version of the bible to read. So when bush didnt read the king james version, but the "bible for dummys" and mis quoted the other version I find that offensive. He represents america as the shape of an image for all americans. That we are all stupid enough to eat up his two word speechs. We went from speechs that had the words "Better angels of our nature" to "apparent terrorist act"

    But Jesus is the only diety that is actually alive to HEAR the prayers. > :-)

    Then pray by voting for a change in foregn policy, thats whats going to save lives.

Muslim, Satanist, Christian, communist, jew, american. Every group has its good and bad. Almost all have god in them, so its your call. Even the nazis simply had followers that did it because it was popular. Lots of people seem to think that they would be against nazis if it happeded to them in their own country. Well its AMERICAS FOREIGN POLICY that killed all of these people you fucking baffon! We trained the terrorists! Fight the US goverment that allows fucking insane people to kill innocent people.

    Sure you don't have to. Free Speech. But just cause you can, it doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. Just because you're callous, doesn't mean you have to go out of you're way to hurt other people.

    Your statement says it all, and I agree with it. Just because you can, doesnt mean you should.

    It hurts everyone when the nation is under attack by suspected non christians and the leader prays for the souls of the lost in a christian manner (I find this fucking sicking). GWB didnt even quote the bible correctly. He is not a christian anymore than I am.
