  2. Possible Human Carcenogen on Recycling The First World, in the Third · · Score: 0, Troll

    They say toner ink is a possible carcinogen, article is simply FUD. Absetos was thought to be a carcinogen, but it really isn't, that was just pure FUD. But then again, EVERYTHING these days is cancer causing..

    And, wtf, why not simply send those computers to those countries as working comptuers instead of in garbage? As with broken parts or just parts, do the following: launch them in a rocket and put it in space.

  3. a question on Some Spammer Has a Crush on You · · Score: 1

    I had noticed my edu email recieves no spam, while my hotmail account recieves lots. I used an edu email, (i didnt care about this edu email account) for this purpose, and I used a hotmail account. Now, the crush company sent me a bullshit email and I responded to it from each account.
    My hotmail inbox recieves 100 spam a day
    My edu inbox has had no spam at all.

    My question is, are spammers restricted to sending spam to certain edus? There is no known spam filter in place at that edu, so its a curosity.

    Oh yes, if I provided false information to a ISP for their services, I would most certainly get shut down, so why wouldn't they. And the money you make from the spammers from the ISPs isn't worth the cost of keeping them, (angry users and bandwidth)

  4. yea so... on The Ideas Behind Longhorn · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    "Equipped with Longhorn, your PC will keep track of how you work, whom you talk to, what sites you look at, how you make documents and whom you share them with, which data on the network are yours-- making all those things easier.'"

    yes, so microsoft can help themselves, other corps and the federal government keep track of what you have on your computer!

  5. Well when... on Ruling the Root · · Score: 4, Interesting

    When scientologists can get slashdot to remove comments from the site because they violate copyright laws, or ms bitches that slashdot comments violate the dmca, or when corporations think that everyone should be identifiable on the internet, or that web pages with criticism should be sued into oblivion, or when someone makes a secnario on kuro5hin about the vice president, you get the secret service knocking at your door, we should be worried about free speech on the internet

  6. Mr. Axelrod... on Universities Creating Computer Discipline Offices · · Score: 1

    Axelrod likes to abuse his power from the stories that go around campus, I've had friends who have had their accounts shut down for no reason from him and he also holds grudges against several students, I better shut my mouth though, he might track me down and shut off my port!

  8. so then...keyboard controlled? on E3 Controller Previews · · Score: 1

    why not just plop down a keyboard and call it a controller? 40 buttons? Good luck trying to play the game with that. In an RP i can see, but even still in a battle, how are you going to access things quickly? You need speed in games and having a 40-button controller is going to inhibit that, although its been done on the computer for years, not a lot of us, use a keyboard, even still, for GTA3, using a keyboard to turn around the guy for the FPS, is a pain..

    they just don't get it, cut off one head, another grows, you can't stop it, you must adapt...but this has been said over and over again, and they won't get it, so its time to wonder what WILL happen to the RIAA

  10. Re:Still bloated on XP Service Pack Does the Impossible · · Score: 1

    not necessarily, universities also have one license key for XP, and some of those are online too, so the *.domainname.com thing would not work for them, because not everyone who uses XP will use it on campus

  11. Default Settings? on XP Service Pack Does the Impossible · · Score: 1

    I don't know about that service pack, but I can make netscape my default browser by the pop up that asks so when I open it, or I can go to tools, folder options, and go under file types and mess around with the file extensions...

    just another service pack to fix some holes and create more

  12. Bringing Linux to the youth on Microsoft vs. Northwest Schools Part III · · Score: 3, Insightful

    True, not only is this a PR victory for Linux, but more youth will be exposed to Linux and not only will they learn how to use a different operating system, they'll also pick up the abilities to adapt to learning new OSes. In time, this trend can be picked up in schools around the nation. In time, kids will show their parents how to use Linux, just as ten years ago, kids showed their parents how to use Windows.

  15. changing of stories on Review: Spiderman · · Score: 1

    of course the movies aren't going to be realistically be 100% like the original, they like to change things around. Its grown more noticable lately in movies to film adaptations. Anyways, I'll go see the film, but what spiderman movie I would really like to see is Spidey vs. Venom, that would kick ass. Anyone know if they will be making a movie like that? Hopefully the sequels won't end up like batman and become halfassed and poorly done.
    Btw, what about Batman anyway? Is there another one in the works?

  17. Fat as unwanted cells on Cells From Liposuction Function As Stem Cells? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The cells that come out of fat are unwanted anyway, so why not just use them. The right really shouldn't have a problem, as long as they don't use it to grow babies for research, otherwise, they'll be howling to the moon, although they probably will anyway..

  18. is it as restrictive as SSSCA? on Alan Cox Attacks the European DMCA · · Score: 2, Interesting

    can we consider this as bad as that law? Analysists have said that Europe is headed towards a left wing bend, but yet those amongst the right wing are rising, (ie: france). This law would be something the left would devise, but yet some Europeans are feeling reactionary now, so would this law even come to pass?
    If ordinary Europeans don't, then its up to us then

  19. come on on AOL-Time Warner's Money Pit · · Score: 3, Insightful

    if it does pass, expect a mass exodus of EEs, CEs and CS from this country, and whatever tech boom is occuring or about to occur, will slip. No self-respecting computer engineer or coder will not permit himself/herself to be in a place where they will not be able to innovate, as this law will discourage it and destroy it

  22. Re:You misunderstand again on MS: Use the Source, Luke! · · Score: 0

    It depends on what University, those who have a mostly liberal arts tendency, will lean towards microsoft, because they don't know any better. Here at the University at Buffalo, which has a large engineering school all of our engineering and cs labs are unix-based, our mail servers are unix based as well, as well as our file servers. MS meanwhile, has their presence in general use labs and in the software which they distrbute for free in our school computer store...
    While, Sun made an agreement with UB to use Solaris on their computers, so unix does have a foothold in some places.

  24. Re:What can us Canadians do about this? bribe on Tauzin-Dingell Up for Vote Soon · · Score: 0

    Well this surfaces again,

    Being from the great State of Louisiana and having attended the same University of congressman Tauzin, and whose father went to the same U with him(Pop has got some funny stories about how the Senator was refused from fraternity parties and wore suits to class, all of this in the 60's).

    TO understand why Tauzin came up with this you need to know a little local history.

    Billy Tauzin came up with idea in the late 90's just when the dot com boom was at a frenzy. Internet in Louisiana was getting pretty big. I was working for a small ISP called Fastband when it happened. You might remember us, Fastband Global Cast. We were an ISP who also were one of the earlier content providers for online music broadcasting.

    Bell in Louisiana had just realized that internet was big money and our loop costs for our points of presence become outrageous, and couple this with our bandwidth costs from UUNET and Qwest it was hard to survive in the dial up game. Bell was a little late to gate into the ISP market....

    Louisiana had several large ISP's. The largest being Communique in New Orleans. Bell started offering their services, at a higher cost and lousy customer service. Not enough ISP experience. And people in my neck of the woods stick to what they know, a lotta brand loyalty. In the south we live by the motto if aint broke do not fix it.

    So, Bell realizing it could not break into the market that easily got into Tauzin's pockets. He immediately released the proposal and all ISPS in the state signed a petition much like that ISP's. All looked good. Billy was defeated...

    But the bad news. Communique the largest ISP in the state, the company with the most to lose, sold out. They were bought out by Verio. Who could care less because they are so large. Communique also provide most of the bandwidth to smaller ISPS in the area and when Verio bought them out they raised the prices on the little guys to get the customers.

    But it gets better. I sold out and joined the ranks of the unwashed at Verio. Actually, in those days we had damn good prices and service. Everything worked. Before all support moved to the NOC in Dallas.

    BUT I always wondered why Bell never messed with Verio. Sure we used them for many things but they could of taken our business.... Because one day I found out that 80 percent of Bells Webhosting(AT the time) was on Verios servers at Hiway. AND Bell only allowed Verio to resell DSL access in the New Orleans area for a short time when it first become availible.

    This is a little long. Moral of the story is that Louisiana lost out to the Telcos due to a Big ISP, a corrupt senator, and just being in the wrong place in the wrong time. The Bells view this as a success and Tauzin who likes his office in Washington and no doubt some official and unofficial perks from the telcos is taking his little proposal on the road
