  1. No surprise on Corporations Getting Into The Open Source Spirit · · Score: 1

    Why is OSS seen as conflicting with Capitalism? Capitalism is about competition, and leveraging strengths to best advantage.

    This article should be posted whenever Communist and Linux comes up in the same sentence.

    Good software = good biz...

    I remember my mom being creeped out by TiVo when we first got it, because the IR shield is the size of a camera lense. She swore "they" were filming us...

    Yeah, I am glad to have left the house...

  4. Re:Compounding a problem...alternatives? on Endless Liquid Refreshment · · Score: 1

    Ultimate Frisbee is fun and it feels like you will die within 10 minutes of game play, you'll love it!

    Basketball (especially full court) is good, soccer, hockey etc.

    Walking is good, and here is a very key point. Distance matters, time doesn't! If you jog a mile, run a mile, or walk a mile. You will burn the same calorites (work = force * distance) so don't have a heart attack trying to run when you are out of shape.

    It is best if you can find someone to excerise with, because you will be more likely to stick to it.

    I got it for an intro level C++ class, and it works well! Though, it is sometimes hard to justify the cost, the fact that it keeps track of parenthesis by bolding its compliment is worth the cost alone.

    Also it is nice to see a list of functions for structures and classes etc.

    Edison lost out, and Microsoft probably will too (actually they will probably end up supporting linux as well much like IBM and os2).

  13. Proof of twin primes on Another Breakthrough in Prime Number Theory · · Score: 1

    Given that prime numbers are infinite, and given that the regularity with which they occur does not seem to have any set frequency, can we not say twin primes are also (likely) infinite?

    Obviously that is not at all rigorous but it strikes me as being true.

  15. Re:"I wonder how Microsoft will convince..." on Microsoft To Demo 'Palladium' At WinHEC · · Score: 1

    There is not from an experienced user's perspective. However, most people will just accept the "trusted computing" initiative and further solidify an Microsoft monopoly. If you want to be "trusted" it will likely involve giving Microsoft a fair amount of dough.

    This does not mean the effort isn't well intended or that it is going to be the end of freedom for computing. It simply means that Microsoft will need yet another eye on them.

  16. "I wonder how Microsoft will convince..." on Microsoft To Demo 'Palladium' At WinHEC · · Score: 2, Funny

    "I wonder how Microsoft will convince consumers that loss of control is a good thing, and how long the convincing will take. "

    Not long. A glimpse from the future...

    Microsoft Windows XP2 makes your favorite operating system even more user friendly.

    Tired of viruses, spyware, and popup ads that aren't from Microsoft? So are we, so XP2 utilizes a brand new technology called Palladium. You can now be confident that only Microsoft tested, and approved programs can run on your computer.

    Security is a good thing (TM)

    Andalucia is the Spain you think of when you think of Spain. Northern Spain, where some of my family is from is very different. The Spanish bullfights, for example, are very Andalucian.

    The moorish influence is most prominent from the people to the architecture.

    Anyways, how about the whole siesta thing? Sounds like a nice policy to adopt here, stateside.

  20. The Hudsucker Proxy, Ed Wood, and Blade Runner on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    The Hudsucker Proxy is one of those movies that you either really like or really hate. I am the only that dug it in my family, but I can say that about Signs (the pantry scene is worth the price of admission alone), Blade Runner (a visual masterpiece), and Ed Wood(not sure why I like it, but I do).

    Or it is because they ARE biased. American media is extremely balanced compared to Arab ones. Why do Arab "journalists" always ask the most antagonistic questions towards western officials but NEVER question the flagrant violations of the rules of war by Saddam's regime.

    It never occurs to them that what walks, talks and acts like a duck is a duck. Or in this case, what smells like a rat, acts like a rat, is in fact a rat.

    I am pretty sure you are just trolling, but Sister Hazel is "nigger music" in the same way that DMX is "white music" (and probably to a lesser extent because I think DMX has more of a following in white communities than SH has in black ones)
