  1. Maybe You Dont Care, CmdrTaco.... on EchoStar Asks Supreme Court to Let Unlock Local Channels · · Score: 1, Troll

    ... but others like to stay informed, unlike the masses of AOLers that think the world is all a bowl of cherries. Think about your actions before you ignorantly take away the rights of others. Whoops, the RIAA and MPAA are doing that already!

  2. Bah on Elcomsoft Case Proceeds; U.S. Claims Jurisdiction · · Score: -1, Troll

    Now the U.S. has jurisdiction over the Internet? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that require an amendment to the Constitution or something? Now the courts get to make the laws w/o checks+balances from Congress/president?

    Seems to me that the courts have a little too much power.

  4. Re:Dijkstra's Algorithm: All-pairs, shortest-path on Deep Algorithms? · · Score: 2

    Major props. =) LSB radix sort is good too. O(1) insertion, O(1) search time is good.

    Does google.com use B-trees or radix?

    Wow, check this out... this could be adapted to the B-tree structure to make an awesome search engine!

    My mistake... it was only encrypted squirrel pr0n.

    10 paces toward the old oak tree, 40 paces due north.... and thar treasure be!

  7. Ah, Gimme a Break on Globalism Post 9/11 · · Score: 2

    Shuddup and eat your McDonalds (TM), because you know you'd rather have your fancy BMW and plush house than live in a cave like Bin Laden. What's so wrong, with globalism? If mom-n-pop Gizmo-Parts dealer can sell their wares to Kerpleckistan, what's wrong with that? The only (cough) major corruption in the system, is that the people who make the rules (politicans) have a reputation of being unethical (accepting campaign contributions from SIGs: tit-for-tat, quid-pro-quo, etc.).

    My 3 1 - 100 / fraction of a dollar.

  8. Seems Alot Like VB To Me on Linux 'Weblications' with SashXB · · Score: 2

    Doesn't this break platform independence? Wouldn't you be better off using JNI?

  10. One word on Do Programming Languages Affect Your Sexual Performance? · · Score: 3, Funny

  11. Re:No offense, but this is old news on One-Time Pad Encryption With No Pad? · · Score: 2

    "Unbreakable" and "Encryption" is to "Unsinkable" and "Ship."

  12. Speech Recognition on Talk ... Without Speaking · · Score: 2

    Maybe speech recognition w/o speaking? Now all you have to work about is a repetitive strain injury of your facial muscles. ;)

  13. Dijkstra's Algorithm: All-pairs, shortest-path on Deep Algorithms? · · Score: 2

    Dijkstra's algorithm is very nice, and it's parallelisble too! I used a varation in a class called the Longest Common Subsequence algorithm and we had to parallelize it.

    Dynamic programming =)

    I also like radix sorting, BSP trees, and B+ trees. Memory managers (allocators/gc/swaping) are fun too.

  14. You Need a Proxy on How to Work Around Broken Port-80 Routing? · · Score: 2

    Yeah, I know, I used to use (in the PAST-TENSE) netcom/mindspring/earthlink, but know they have some ghey transparent web proxy cache that listens to EVERY port 80 request REGARDLESS of any actual webserver at any address. Doesn't this violate the DMCA? 1) They are "caching" (storing) other web-site's content thereby possibly violating copyright law. 2) You might have an old copy of the website. 3) It's slower if the page is not in their cache. 4) They can easily monitor what you are browsing and sell the info to advertisers. 5) They can change what you look at (Man-in-the-middle). Hmmm... maybe changing ISPs would be a better solution.

  15. Meat Trees Anyone? on Lab-Grown Meat Chunks - It's What's For Dinner · · Score: 2

    It would be so right, meat grown on trees.

  16. Scientology == Evil on Scientology Uses DMCA to Delist Critic's Website · · Score: 2

    There's something wrong with a religion that might as well be considered a terrorist group. They're fricking insane, end of story.

  17. Ocean Energy on Alternative Energy: Power Via Coastal Wave Motion. · · Score: 2

    What about getting energy from the temperature differences between the top and bottom of the ocean's water column? Or would that affect ecologies too much?

  19. Copyright Tax on Slashback: Grammy, Sirius, Levies · · Score: 2

    I'm sorry, Levy == Tax. Didn't we fight England for this? Taxation w/o rep? And doesn't this (tax) assume that you, the consumer, are only using this product to rip off the industry? The same scam that's used on blank audio tapes and VHS tapes?

    MPAA == evil && RIAA = evil;

  20. Fight Fire With Fire on Spammer Sues List Broker · · Score: 2

    Why can't we spam the spammers? Add their email addrs to other spammers lists, etc. Heck, here is where to deprecate Virtumundo Inc.

  21. Spammer 101 on Spammer Sues List Broker · · Score: 2

    They also use web 'bots that search the internet for all email addrs and spam anything they find. Heck, you could even use dns to spam every domain such as abuse@x.com webmaster@x.com etc. Evil, and spammers do far worse. Heck, all those "enter to win a prize" at your local radio stations, etc. probably sell their info to the spam listers and mass-mailers to make addition revenue.

  22. This Has To Be Illegal... on Morpheus Hijacks Browsers For Affiliate Links · · Score: 2

    This is tantamount to theft and fraud. Musiccity.... what a bunch of pr0n-ad-spyware warez-mongers. Then again, blame the people that install these closed-source spyware progs. As they say, know what you're installing lest you pickup a virus.

  23. 802.11 Interference on FCC Petitioned to Restrict 2.4GHz Band · · Score: 4, Informative

    802.11 interferes w/ the head-tracker we use at our school for 3D stuff. We basically need a TEMPEST-protected room so we can play w/ our 3d toys.

    Maybe sirius should use 3D differential phase decoding to "listen" to a frequency at a location. Basically, two or more antennas allow you to discriminate among different sources, just like how your ears and brain work; as a practical example, using three antennas prevent jamming of GPS by enemy noise sources. The GPS antijam method uses constellation position prediction and real-time kinematic (motion) compensation (doppler shift, etc.) upon the sender's signal and receiver's motion, note this is wholy listener-side compensation, no mods to GPS constellation are needed for antijam technology. If sirius is broadcast-only, then they need to mod their receivers to use this type of technology. Why force restrictions on existing equipment for people trying to be fancy w/ their new toys? Screw em if they can't play w/ others already out on the field.

    We can get alot more bandwidth if we use this type of technology along with CDMA-type encoding. It might be slightly more expensive and logistically prohibitive, but economical use of bandwidth demands it.
