    All this to keep terrorists from attacking us. And by 'keep terrorists from attacking us', I mean 'keep underage kids from buying beer'.

    I don't know why they're in a twist. The demonstration fails miserably in FF 1.0/MacOS X.

  9. Re:Kerry in the senate... on India Outsourcers Find Back Door in Canada · · Score: 1

    The President of the United States, by design, cannot initiate any bills. He can tell Congress what he would like to see, but that's no guarantee that he'll see it, or that he'll get it.

    You missed the part where anyone can draft legislation, but it takes a member of congress to support it and bring it to committee.

  10. Re:CYBERSTALK! on Google Acquires Keyhole Corp. · · Score: 2, Funny

    There are many more practical uses for this. My inside sources at Google (read: wild speculation) tell me that they're planning on extending their search technology beyond the web, and on to the planet Earth. Imagine:

    Google search: my car keys
    Google search: Weapons of Mass Destruction
    Google search: the dog

    And everyone buys it in Canada.

    I do not welcome this.

    I, for one, welcome our new photo imaging overlords.

  14. Re:claims ? on Patent Concerns Unlikely To Nix Munich Linux Plan · · Score: 5, Funny

    A software developer at MySQL claims 'Linux violates 283 U.S. software patents.' How does the Linux community respond to these claims?"

    The same way we respond to any other question about our beloved operating system: RTFM noob.

  15. Re:15% on Real Presidential Debates · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Can we just be realistic here for a minute?

    class Green extends Democrat


    Really. This is what happens: smaller, single-point parties get swallowed up by the whole. This is how the Republican party came about, in fact, but at that time they were the liberals and the Democrats were the conservatives! Don't believe me? See what party Abraham Lincoln represented when he entered office.

  18. Re:Get a 1.57% discount at Amazon too! on Amazon's A9.com Search Engine Goes Live · · Score: 1

    Amazon is trying to be Google, but they're not quite getting the point. This is reminiscent of the {first 10 digit prime in consecutive digits of e}.com, but in a commercialized way. So close, but so far.

  19. Re:Two problems... on Amazon's A9.com Search Engine Goes Live · · Score: 1

    It's like Google and Yahoo had a bastard child. Sickening.

  20. Re:Still... on Open Source Security: Still A Myth · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well yes, that's partially because most of the time OSS "vendors" forego the testing procedures that commercial vendors do.

    "It works on my box...bug must be fixed!"

    This strategy doesn't hold water in the business world.
