  6. No fraternisation for the troops on U.S. Army Testing Personal Cooling Suits · · Score: 1

    The US Army will never ever wear iraqi clothes!

    Why?

    Because this will show the US citizen and polticans:
    - the #1 viagra consuming country in the world needs more money to spend to push climate change all over the world.
    - Islam superior to konservative US christianity because weather is against liberators.
    - Super duper expensive high tech cooling gear only second place after traditional desert clothing
    - Wearing the same clothes means fraternisation ==> Fraternisation is forbidden for army personel except in Guantanamo.

    - it's amazing you are still reading my post
    - why?
    - okay nothing more to see move on.
    - hey you are still here!
    - go away or I tell the DHS you are reading slashdot

  7. Bad title of story on Senate Fails To Reauthorize Patriot Act Provisions · · Score: 4, Insightful

  8. Read Groklaw's example of "recipe with marzipan" on Two Open Document Standards Better Than One? · · Score: 1

    Here is this story.

    It goes like this.
    MS has a recipe with marzipan as an ingredient.
    MS allows us to use this recipe for free.
    But MS does not tell us what kind of marzipan is used for this specific recipe.

    ==> We are allowed to use this recipe but can not use this recipe because we don't have all the details about all ingredients.

    A big fat Pocahontas was the first thing that popped into my mind when I read "Disney, McDonalds and Happy Meal"

  13. xbox start is a failure on The Industry's Opinion: The 360 Launch · · Score: 1

    Look at amazon.com:
    Availability: This item is currently not available.
    ("used" xbox 360 are for USD 900!)

    look at amazon.de:
    Gewöhnlich versandfertig bei Amazon in 2 bis 4 Monaten.
    (Ready to ship in 2 to 4 months)
    ("used" xbox 360 are for 600++ Euro)

    Today I heard a conversation like this:

    Father: Do you have any xbox 360?
    Salesperson: No, and we don't expect any large shipments until february or march.
    Son (14years): In spring there will be the the PS3. It's far superior to the xbox. If I have to wait, I take the PS3 in 2006.
    Salesperson: There is no release date for the PS3 in Germany.
    Son: I want the PS3

    MS created a hype around the xbox 360. But in my opinion the hype backfired.
    People wanted to buy the xbox, no xbox available people buy other console.

  14. Re:Actually, no.... on Intel to Develop Hardware Rootkit Detection · · Score: 1

    ...difference between a rootkit and a security update to the kernel?

    What's the difference between IE and a rootkit?
    Nothing - the IE is a wide accepted remote admin tool (l33t speach = rootkit).

    If you update/patch IE you update the kernel because by MS definition, IE is a substantial part of the Windows OS.

  21. Skype belongs to eBay on Skype Makes U.S. Retail Debut · · Score: 2, Informative

    Dear ./ editors,

    in upcomming articles about Skype tell us (=the readers) that Skype was aquired by eBay.

    It's important to know that Skype has the multi billion dollar backing of eBay. Whatever Skype tries out, they never will run out of money for the next years.

  23. like Diebold voting machines on Open Source Accessibility · · Score: 1

    I think it was on blackboxvoting.org that described how Diebold used some blind/disabled voters to pressure the county elections officials to purchase Diebold machines or the handicaped representatives sued the county officials.

    For me it looks the same in MA. MS has no arguments against an open document standard.
    Instead they form/found/support an "independent" grassroot handicaped organisation to support voice objections against a format.

    Remember it is only a format and not a software. People use software to access documents of a certain format.

    If Microsoft wants it's Office 200X to be used by MA officals they have to support the OpenDocument Format (and lower the price).

  24. Super Windows for Computers on Microsoft Competes In Supercomputer Market · · Score: 1

    Hi Bill,

    How about you develop a "Super Windows"(TM) for normal PCs instead?
