  1. Re:Nothing free-thinking about Wellstone on Inquiry Into RIAA's Piracy Crackdown Tactics · · Score: 1

    You probably helped put that Pawlenty drone in power. Good job.

    <Sarcasm> He certainly is a free thinker. Same with Coleman... look at all he has done already, that guy is a run away train of political motivation and a champion of the people. Much better than Wellstone. </Sarcasm>

    By the way Wellstone voted against Arctic drilling, voted NO on preserving budget for ANWR oil drilling, voted YES on keeping CAFE fuel efficiency standards, voted YES on more funding for forest roads and fish habitat, voted NO on defunding renewable and solar energy, voted YES on reducing funds for road-building in National Forests, voted NO on loosening restrictions on cell phone wiretapping, voted YES on prohibiting job discrimination by sexual orientation, voted NO on Amendment to prohibit flag burning.

    What a bastard.

    Coward....

    You *obviously* don;t live in Minnesota, and obviously haven't experience the difference in leadership... so stuff it.

    Wellstone voted against the war, voted for people more often than not, he brought term limits to the senate, rallied for the environment.

    Ventura... well he did what he wanted. Fiscally republican and democratic otherwise. That sound like free thinking to me, like it or not.

  3. Re:relevance? OT on Inquiry Into RIAA's Piracy Crackdown Tactics · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It means this is the only good thing this Bush monkey has done. Minnesota was taken over by republican drones from it's former "free thinking" leaders (ie Wellstone and Ventura). This is actually astonishing... this guy has done nothing worthwhile until now.

  4. Nice on Inkblot Passwords · · Score: 1

    I like this advancement for the average user. I have been in tech support before and so many people have such terrible passwords. It is so much better than 'password' or having the same password as your login.

    This is really great for Joe ServicePack, but I already have a 27 character (punctuations and numbers included) password.

    What I find amazing is that the Cell is supposed to run up to a TeraFlop when it reaches production. That compared to a 64 processor Linux cluster.

    thats 64 processors per node

  6. Re:Blah. on National Do Not Call List Opens for Registrations · · Score: 1

    I got rid of my land line several years ago and I have had only one call from my cabel company... I told them it was a cell phone and they never called back. Thats right only one solicitation in 3 years!! j00t!

    I understnad this won't work for a family or people living out in the boones, but sooner or later cell phones will be cheap enough and the service will be ubiquitous enough to accomodate everyone.... but if that happens then I am sure interest groups will thow enough money around to change the current cell phone lwas

  7. unbelievable on Lofgren Introduces BALANCE Act to Modify DMCA · · Score: 1

    I submitted this story yesterday and the all knowing /. editors rejected it...

    but besides that gripe I must say that this is an important opportunity for us. It may not be everything we have ever wanted, but it is a step in the right direction. Zeo is also supports fair use of peer to peer networks as well

    no thats just like starting IE. IE is preloaded in memory during OS boot up and if you don't believe me go download max mem and perform an agressive cleanup on your memory, start IE and watch how painfully slow it loads.

    you troll. P2P is more than just, music, movies, and pr0n. It's more than just pirating... what are you the RIAA? The authors of gnucleas didn't resort to this or tactics like it. Don't confuse corporate theives with the development of p2p networks.

    1) that link has been found already. I can't remembe the exact fossil, but I remember seeing on the discovery channel. Try searching in google.

  20. Critical Angle? on Plastic Optical Fibre: Cheap and Bendy · · Score: 1

    The article mentions that the new fiber can bend more than traditional fiber optics... does that mean that it can bend past the critical angle for the material? With the traditional fiber optics the fiber would snap before reaching the critical angle so you are assured that the light will not leave the fiber channel because the fiber would physically break before you could bend it that far. If the new fibers can be bent past the material's critical angle then stupid human errors can occur and cause problems.

    Yeah, I put that together about an hour or so after my post. I am just very used to the authentication concept where the receiving computer already knows what is valid and what is not. What I mentioned would be great for that, but piss poor here.

    That is too much work. Just use two independent hash functions. For example you can check the file with an MD5 and Checksum then it is very hard/impossible to find a file that will satisfy both functions signatures and be the proper size.
