  1. Re:A clean uninstaller? wow! on Energizer USB Battery Charger Software Infects PCs · · Score: 3, Funny

    I tried $sudo apt-get install arucer in Kubuntu, but the Trojan is not yet in the repository. Perhaps is should use $sudo dpkg and install it from the USB key it's self.

    I wonder if Wine will run this?

  2. What does it really cost to make? on Fuel Cell Marvel "Bloom Box" Gaining Momentum · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Out of that $700,000 how much does it cost to manufacture? How much is the markup? Most of these magic snake oil things have a huge percentage of the price going to the patent holder. Lets say it costs $100,000 to make and the other $600K is going to Mr Snake. How is that good for anyone?

    If it is REAL, maybe we "the government" should use eminent domain and make the technology available for everyone. Why let the greed of Mr Snake hinder us all?

  3. Google could do real good with this. on Free Software Foundation Urges Google To Free VP8 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I hope Google does this. A real, free video system for the internet would do incalculable good. Google could once again take the high road, and show it truly is different than the evil Microsoft!

    I hope Google agrees.

  4. Re:The end of a giant. on Motorola To Split In Two · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh, I forgot, the 68000. The best computer chip of the era!

  5. The end of a giant. on Motorola To Split In Two · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Motorola forgot that the reason people bought their products was because they were the best in the world. Not the cheapest. The best. When Galvin Sr. ran the company, Motorola radios were the finest on Earth. Motorola brought us the 1st transistor TV, Quasar, the G4 chip was great. Iridium was a great idea, ruined by Galvin Jr. When Motorola was run by engineers, it thrived, even though it's products were usually the most expensive in the industry. Once the accountants and stock swindlers got hold of it, there was a race to the bottom, and this is the end result. The MBA's just can not conceive that people will pay for quality and innovation. Being cheapest, cutting R&D, Ugh, I could go on, but I think you know what I mean.

    So long Motorola! It was a good run.

  6. Usefulness on Directed Energy Weapon Downs Ballistic Missile · · Score: 0, Troll

    I can see where this multi zillion dollar thing would be useful against the $3.00 mud huts of the Taliban.

  7. Re:ha ha suckers!!! on Windows Patch Leaves Many XP Users With Blue Screens · · Score: 1

    Why would you use Windows for anything that really mattered? Ugh!

  8. Tea Party? on Subversive Groups Must Now Register In South Carolina · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    That buch is always spewing anti government nonsense. Or, does the Bill say it's ok if Fox News likes them?

  9. How do you quantify "human inteligence"? on When Will AI Surpass Human Intelligence? · · Score: 0

    If you were to use the people in any Walmart as your study group, the machines would have been winning since the Sinclair ZX 80.

  10. Of course it's not on Microsoft Says Windows 7 Not Killing Batteries · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Microsoft would prolly claims that Windows 7 isn't killing kittens or puppies either, but we know the truth!

  11. Re:If only... on Space Shuttle Spy Gets 15 Years · · Score: 0, Troll

    Absolutely, The Shuttle is junk and obsolete. It should have never been. I think history will show it was just a Reagan bluff, like "Star Wars" to get the Russians to spend tons of money they didn't have on something that would have been, or in the Shuttle's case, of no practical use.

    They (the Ruskies) actually fell for it, and build the Buran.

    Secret? What could possibly secret on the Space Shuttle? Over reach of laws, yes. Maybe we could classify the plans for the 1954 Kaiser Manhattan and put some Chinese in prison with that.

  12. What is an iPad? on The iPad Questions Apple Won't Answer · · Score: 1

    It's a wireless cable box.

  13. Wouldn't it be cool? on IBM Releases Power7 Processor · · Score: 1

    Imagine a PowerMac with a couple of these in it, and assload (actual technical term for large quantity) of RAM and a big display?

    Oh, I forgot, the new improved Apple has told us that the Intel chip give us, the users, better performance.

    I actually think Apple started it's slide into evildom with switching from Power to Intel.

    Oh well, we can dream.

  14. Does Linux Count? on UK Government Crowd-Sourcing Censorship · · Score: 1

    Obviously, Linux undermines the capitalist way of life. Any website mentioning Linux would qualify!

  15. They always fail. on US Missile Defense Test Fails · · Score: -1, Redundant

    time to end this silliness. Reagan is dead, his "Starwars" waste of money should join him. We could easily have free medical care for everyone if we cut the defense department to a reasonable size.

    Eisenhower was right in his "Cross of Iron" speech.

  16. To those that complain here on Firefox Mobile Reaches 1.0 · · Score: 1

    You obviously do not have an N900. If you did, you would know what it is like to have a full computer browser experience on a mobile device.

    Why would you assume "she" has one?

    Unlike the "quasi free" Android, Maemo 5 IS free. No one can cut off your root access.

  19. Re:ATT vs Verizon in NYC (ATT rocks for data) on Rumor — AT&T Losing iPhone Exclusivity Next Week · · Score: 2, Informative

    Or, go look at a Nokia N900. I find it amazing how little press this wonderful mobile computer that has phone functions is getting. I have been a fone freak for years, the N900 is like the parting of the Red Sea in a CB DeMille movie.

  20. I can't beleive all you slashdoters are missing it on Crazy Firewall Log Activity — What Does It Mean? · · Score: 1

    Look at the chart. LOOK. it's obvious what this means.
