  1. Re:Why Federal Computer Weekly? Why not CNN? on Congress concerned about Echelon · · Score: 1

    "I really generally think conspiracy theory
    buffs are usually nuts, but this is the
    case that might finally push me to their side."

    Welcome!

  2. Maybe... on Congress concerned about Echelon · · Score: 0

    Congress should try to buy the
    info from Russia or China.

    They probably know all about it.

    Taxpayers can pay but not know.

  3. Re:Conspiricy Theorists on Paper-thin Integrated Circuits · · Score: 1

    Check this out!

    TIRIS

    something Texas Instruments is working on

  4. Why are "conspiracy theorists" ahead of the curve on Paper-thin Integrated Circuits · · Score: 1

    "Conspiracy theorists" see uses for new
    technology.

    That's why they appear to be crazy.

    Maybe they should be hired to "think".

    Somebody once said this about me
    "it's easier to think he is crazy, than it
    is to listen to what he is saying"

  5. what happens to water/ice in a vacuum? on NASA Crashing Probe to Look for H2O on Moon · · Score: 1

  7. Any Linux Flight Sims? on Linux Takes Flight on Northwest Simulators · · Score: 1

    Anybody out there know of a
    Linux flight simulator?

    I've been a fan since my first
    Sublogic simulator on my TRS80.

    It was a Christmas gift.

    Ole Bill slapped his brand name on it years
    later.

  8. Maybe there's... on Age of Universe Derived · · Score: 1

    Maybe there is something 13 billion
    light years away that won't be seen
    till next year.

  9. When I was a kid on Age of Universe Derived · · Score: 1

    I would imagine myself inside a
    large box.

    I would start to shrink while the
    box would get larger.

    No matter how small I got or how
    much the box grew, I was still in that box.

  10. If this becomes law, I want the list on Australia now has Net Censorship · · Score: 1

    I want the list of banned sites.
    It would be interesting to see what
    scares them.

    Maybe have a contest to create sites that
    would offend the "film board".

    Make a cool logo saying this site banned
    in Australia.

  11. Re:Let Freedom Ring on Yugoslav Internet Shut Down? · · Score: 1

    Why do sites in Yugoslavia trace-route to
    Yugoslavia?

  12. Re:Warfare 101.... on Yugoslav Internet Shut Down? · · Score: 1

    I bought a used shortwave radio a few
    years back. One night I listened to a guy
    who was in a field in Arkansas. He was part
    of a "field day". These radio people setup radios
    with battery power only, log contacts from around
    the world.


    Hope I didn't aid the enemy with this.

  13. Let Freedom Ring on Yugoslav Internet Shut Down? · · Score: 1

    Why?

    Are they saying something I should not hear?
    Lies will betray themselves, won't they?

    The most damning web site I've seen trace-routed
    to Virginia.

  14. Didn't Tesla make something like this? on "Invisible" Speakers · · Score: 1

    Attached a coil to a column in his lab,
    the police station next door started to
    crumble.

    Or did I dream that?

  15. Re:Dolphins, computers, and humans. on The Emerging-Behavior Debate · · Score: 1

    Like aliens landing in Washington.

  16. how about a "Troll Bot" for IRC on The Emerging-Behavior Debate · · Score: 0

    I like to go into IRC and
    "Troll". I will start an
    argument about the alleged
    war in Serbia.

    A program that could troll
    would be cool. It would have to
    take a side and stick to it. And
    know enough about the subject to
    make a case. It would have to read
    the mood of the others just from reading
    text.

    No, wait, that could be used as an
    automated lawyer. Forget it.

  17. Re:Life as we know it is CHANGING...for the better on High-end Computer or Game Machine? · · Score: 1

    no one can see the future for sure
    but we can see the past

    1975 - Magnavox Odessy $150 Pong!

    1982 - Intellivision about $200

    fill in your own horror stories

    oh, and the Osborne $2000

  18. Good, K6-III 450's will drop in price on AMD Demos 1Gigahertz cooled K7 · · Score: 1

    Then I'll get a K6 III and start
    watching the price of K7's come down.

    I like to stay a gen or 2 behind.

    Oh man.
    Using Ebay for a power play at work.

    Watch for copy cats!

  20. Can it record in stereo? on Samsung's "Yepp" MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    I've wanted to get into
    Binaural recording. This thing
    would probably work great, put the
    whole works in a hat.

  21. Is this for real? on Students Opting Away from high-tech Degrees? · · Score: 1

    Enrollment may be up, but graduation is down according to the article. If this is true, this poses an even more interesting question:
    Why are more students failing or switching majors?

    Just a thought about your question.

    My nephew is going into a CS program in the Fall.
    They are going to beat him about the head
    and ears with math.

    Maybe some kids go in thinking its about
    learning Word and Paint. Maybe some
    old style command line stuff.

    Just a thought.

  22. Conspiracy nut? on Voices From The Hellmouth · · Score: 3

    Sounds like "they" want to arrest
    people "before" they act.

    About school uniforms.

    My son wears uniforms to school.
    His school has taken the lead in
    arrests. How many of you knew
    anybody that got arrested in the 7th
    and 8th grade? I didn't.

  23. What will it be worth? on HP Education to offer Linux Courses · · Score: 1

    Should I get off my dead butt and
    learn as much as I can on my own?

    Then take this course to fill in the
    blanks and pickup the "paper"?

    How much could I expect to make?

    questions questions questions

    Notice how the towns of
    Jonesboro Arkansas and
    Fayetteville Tennessee

    fall on the line

    don't know what it means. It's just
    strange.

    Oh, I didn't have a chance to buy the
    Anarchist Cookbook till 1975.

  25. Just in case I'm not the only one... on Linux Hardware Detection Project · · Score: 0
