  4. Re:not programmers, just the other IT workers on No Shortage Of Programmers? · · Score: 3

    What your talking about is people that use computers as an abstract tool. Is that such a bad thing? Would you rather that your skill be something so common that you could be treated like an assembly line worker (no pun) just like most programmers were in "Snow Crash"? I know for a fact that its good to have people that use things as an abstract tool, thats what allows us to have simplifications of everything. Because being a jack of all trades creates a master of none. That being said, I think its good to have end users that are in the tech field, it only helps you look better in the long run anyway.

    What a load of shit, a bit for bit copy isnt going to give you pops and cracks.
    If you list the cd off I am sure someone can point out that you did it wrong, hell I am saying that. A bit for bit copy of any data wont corrupt it. Its why deCss doesnt matter when it comes to piriting (copy the entire disc, encyption and all) and its why this "cd protection" is crap as well.

  12. What a waste of 25 cents on Mystery of Loch Ness Solved? · · Score: 3

    I bought the paper today for the first time in a while. One look at the papers headline and I needed to see what this once respectible (but very bias) newspaper had on the front page. After reading the article I was pretty pissed. I payed .25 cents for some guys opinion, who really didnt have much to say anyway. Its amazing what papers have sunk to these days. I felt like I was reading a tabloid. This person got published in this paper on very little other then "hey I am a scientist!" but as far as I can tell he is just as crazy as the other kooks.

    I should have given my quarter to a person asking for change.

  18. Re:I think you mean *IF* on NASA Wants To Invade Mars With Glowing JellyPlants · · Score: 2

    I think you have that wrong. Its not profitable enough to *cure* cancer. It would be better to simply kill it for a while, then they keep coming back for more treatment. The weapon part is probley a better way to describe the wants of "the powers that be". I personly don't think its a good idea to put anything on mars thats alive as of yet. Think about what people have been talking about as of late: Anything from mars needs to be quarentened.

    Yet we will send life there? Where is the logic? Dont screw up earth, screw up mars, after all we dont know if there is life there....

    After all its engine (the scram jet) intakes oxygen and then burns the hydrogen. In a few years when global warming and air quality get worse then it already is this plane wouldnt even fly. Perhaps we should look at using some sort of waste product that we will make alot of, after all recycling is the way to save the planet!

  23. I have a feeling on 2600 Responds to Appellate Court · · Score: 3

    That 2600 is going to lose this. I feel that the stigma of being a "hacker" is not going to be overcome by this breif.
    I feel that perhaps the court will stand in partial favor but still judge against them. The larger money will win this simply because they have demonised 2600 into hackers that steal credit cards and kill people via their keyboards from far away.
    The funny thing is that I would trust 2600 with my credit card before I would trust the MPAA. Infact I did when I subscribed.
