  1. I disagree. on Dinosaur Robots Will Do My Bidding! · · Score: 1

    Its an open forum. Youre free to post what you want, he's free to post what he wants. Thats why I come here to read this thing, because they DON'T edit the resonses. Unless youre some kind of scientologist wannabe.
    You don't have to read it, thats why this moderation system is in effect. As a matter of fact, if you get modded down as an AC enough, your I.P. gets blocked. So what more do you want? Would you like to work for free for slashdot, reading and editing every post instantly, without removing any that I decided I might find amusing on a whim? As a matter of fact, if there were any kind of automated censorship going on, you would find even more useless posts. I for one, would find it tremedously amusing to see how much I could get through the system.

    I don't like these posts much either, but what words are you going to search for to filter them? Haven't you read ANY of the censorware discussions on here?

  2. HUH? on Digital Copyright · · Score: 1

    ""publishers cradle to grave control of every copyrighted work they produce""
    I would be happy if their control was only cradle to grave.

  3. I doubt these will be allowed by anyone. on Solar Power Satellites by 2020? · · Score: 1

    While a great ide, its also too dangerous a weapons system. I'm not concerned with the beams accidently drifting of the receiver, there are ways to fix that, but try to convinve the public of this.

  4. Verteiron, you magnificient bastard. on So Long, Hitchhiker: Douglas Adams Dead At 49 · · Score: 1

    That was the best laugh ive had in a month. I owe ya a beer.

  5. Someone please bury the man with a towel. on So Long, Hitchhiker: Douglas Adams Dead At 49 · · Score: 1

    Nope, not a troll. Can you think of anything more fitting?

  6. Re:I guess no one can tell me... on So Long, Hitchhiker: Douglas Adams Dead At 49 · · Score: 1

    Part of me hopes your kidding but hee goes:
    DOnt panic is on the cover of the ACTUAL hitchhikers guide in the books.
    42 is the answer to the meaning of life.
    You really need to read the books to for this to be appropriatley absurd and perfectly logical at the same time.

  7. WW II photographs on Color Photography with B&W Film · · Score: 1

    There is a book out there with WWII photographs done using the same method.

  8. Actually on Zero to Rutabaga in 6 Seconds · · Score: 1

    "The automobile, while a blessing for many, has also become a curse, especially when our cities are designed around its use. In some cities in America, for example, people sit around in traffic jams for hours because of the fact that they, along with most others in the metro area, need to travel across the freeways or highways to get to work."
    Most cities WERENT designed for cars. Hence the traffic problem.

  9. Re:Cultural Prejudice on How Many Hours Do You Work in a Week? · · Score: 1

    Hmmmm, i dont remember reading about that....

  10. Re:Not So Fast on NASA Technology Could Lead To Artificial Retinas · · Score: 1

    I.A.A.N.S. (I aint a neurosurgeon) but im pretty sure the brain is able to adapt to weird visual changes. I've see examples of people who wear glasses that invert their vision, and after a couple of days, its back to normal for them(Untill they take them off, then tye need to relearn again). ALso, look at the people who wear multicolored lenses in their glasses. And there is also the facotr of ANY improvement over being blind is probably good. Hell, if im totally blind, id be happy with 16 shades of green.

  11. This just seems so wrong. on Microsoft Bootstraps "Matrix" Game Rights Purchase · · Score: 1

    But does this mean microsoft gets sued if its a FPS?

  12. Re:Bad Choice, Taco on Send out the Clones? · · Score: 1

    Have a kid. Thats what their for.

  13. Re:Starwars sends the wrong message, I'm afraid on A Host Of Star Wars Bits · · Score: 1

    A New Hope is, at bottom, a story about armed rebellion by rabble against a benevolent legal order, precisely the sort of communistic message we had come so close to defeating in Vietnam.

    Yeah, this is America. We would never encourage people to rebell against the legal order. Unless theyre King George III. Moron, read some history before you troll.

  14. Simple on What Will Happen to Rented Software When Its Publisher Sinks? · · Score: 1

    Just hire an 1337 h4x0r to crack the key system.

  18. Re:A simple one. on What Isn't on the Internet? · · Score: 1

    Struck out completely. Sorry. 2 suggestions, look cor a colloquial9(sp) name maybe. Saw it was also called Forskohlin or something. Also try calling the national aboratoraum in dc(Spelling again, damnit.) theyve got all sortsa weird plants, and might be able to put yu on the right track.

    Obviously shes a Satanist. Thank Eris those good Cristians were there to show her the error of her ways.

  20. Salem witch trials? on Are Kids Turning Your Kids Into Killers? · · Score: 1

    Those were good christian girls, just having grandma killed for Christ.
    Joan of Arc, good Christian girl, killing all them folks for god. I mean the VOICES told her to do it so it must be right.
    YOUR god is not the answer to OUR problems.

  21. Re:Dangerous precedent on Mir: Rest in Pieces · · Score: 1

    Any bugs in MIR came from earth.
    Any space borne bugs ON MIR would have survived the landing on a METEOR and already got here.
    Any mutant microbes probably wont have any more effect than the ones that are already here, mutating constantly.
    You halfwit.

  22. I just read this. on Publishing a Book Without Selling Out? · · Score: 1

    http://www.baen.com/library/
    I just read this.
    This is the single best worded argument for free sharing of IP I have yet read.
    Mr. Flint applies it to books, but it can easily be applied to all media. He just earned another potential customer. (Hey, I might not LIKE his book, I don't know yet, but now he and all the other authors on his site will get LOOKED at.) And unlike Mr. Katz, he's actually sharing his work for free.
