  1. Wow a spaceship on China's War Against Wires · · Score: 1

    Yes, but look at my various assortment of wires.

  2. Intergalactic bounty hunter on Mythic Sues Microsoft Over Mythica MMORPG · · Score: 1

    I made an RPG in 91 titled it, but never published.

    2003, a german game company makes a title with that name.

    I email them, tell them I sort of had rights, ask for a tour of the company.

    They email back, and said Lucas Arts threatened to sue

  3. I predict even less jobs on 235,000 Fewer Programmers by 2015 · · Score: 1

    Dow goes up, jobs get lost.

    The tech guy is the ultimate inventor.

    Theorized back in 1700's, an inventor puts a man out of a job, and eventually no men are working.

    What the tech guy does is: automates a company, then gets a new job.

    The thing is that the market gets tougher every time. So they get paid less and have to work harder for every job.

    The resources are out there, being made by factories, but for a tech worker to get any of them is the difficulty.

    If you think about it, intellectual property doesn't even make sense to hide, when it benefits mankind more to share.

    But lets see how this thing plays out, shall we.

  4. I used to be #1 in Starcraft on Paid to Play Video Games · · Score: 1

    I quit because people started hacking.
    If I didn't quit, I guarantee I'd be over in Korea now.

    They treat gamers like popstars, so you not only make money, all the fine honeys want you.

  5. Re:I know what they can build... on Money Problems May Derail First U.S. MagLev Train · · Score: 1

    You'll all be given cushy jobs.

  6. Little help here... on Small Form Factor Comparison Matrix · · Score: 1

    I see a computer:
    Biostar iDEQ 200V $189 Athlon XP 333 333

    It says it can take an AGP 8 card. So its good for gaming.

    What speed is it, relative to mhz? Because if its over 1ghz speed, thats all you need to game.

  7. The right way on E-Voting: a Flawed Solution in Search of a Problem · · Score: 1

    You still need to use voting hubs.

    All it shows is a nicely designed, user interface. A client that's unaccessable by the internet.

    The person votes on the machine, and the votes are stored on a server there.

    No outside hacking, and its the same voting.

    The problems come because its a change.
    But there are more problems with paper voting as seen in the last presidential election.

    The tough stuff would be allowing feedback to congressmen, so they could present polls, and people could "vote for a bill" over the internet. You have hackers at play, and you have people's voting bias skewed because some people can't afford computers.

  8. NO way 40$ an hour on Plow Operators Object to GPS Tracking System · · Score: 1

    And to think I paid $100,000 and 8 years to get a scientific computing degree, and be unemployed.

    I'll scab those bitches, and plow for 40$ an hour.

  9. I shouldn't divulge info on Breaking the Gigapixel Barrier · · Score: 1

    So I won't.

    All I can say is I get to play with all that mapping data. I feel important for someone who's 70000 dollars in debt.

  10. Hellacycle on Technological Flights Of Fancy That Fizzled · · Score: 1

    Combine the jetpack pictured that transforms from a motorcyle... Its easy to see, the fan blades, as wheels. Ride a motorcyle on the ground, or if you gotta go flying, you're set with a jetpack.

  11. BUDZU! on Simpsons Fan Creates Real Tomacco Plant · · Score: 1

    One of my most dearest sci-fi inventions.

    Cross Pot with Kudzu.

    Suddenly, you have out of control pot plants conquering the landscape. Take that Washington.

  12. P2P rocks on GIA to use P2P to Avoid Litigaton · · Score: 1

    I designed that network independtly of actually hearing about it.

    Its original purpose in my mind would be to make Diablo 1 unhackable even if there is no central server.

    Basically every node polices the other and stores as much character information. Then when one logs on, it gets the character information from the other nodes.

    Its tough to think about P2P, and its work coding them, so bleh.

    My newest P2P invention would be a serverless quake game. All computers spam out whats going on on their side, and other computers take in all the information and try and draw a picture with it. Its risky buisness, but it should average out latency so there are no lag spikes.

  13. 14" monitor from 93 on What's the Oldest Hardware You are Still Using? · · Score: 1

    1024x768 32 million colors

    The guy who sold it to me said you don't need that resolution unless you are using CAD. I told him to shut up and just sell me the monitor.

  14. c64 RULED on C-64 Diehards Relive History · · Score: 1

    It came 6 months before Nintendo.

    When you go from 5 year old Atari2600 games to C64 games like Bruce Lee, life is bliss.

    There's some fun on a C64 that simply can't be recreated as it was an important tech boost.

    New 3d games don't give the fun you found in different C64 games. Back then, anything was possible, but we now know every game falls into a genre.

    Anyone know about that one game where you were in a radioactive shelter, and had to hack robots above land. It was 3d, and black with green lines to represent stuff. Email me: James_Sager_PA@yahoo.com

    I want to play that game again.

  15. Or at least "Give it Up" on Ballmer Touts Focus on Security · · Score: 1

    Which came first DDR or Balmer?

  16. Old News on Spammers Using Hacked Machines as Decoys · · Score: 1

    People have been spoofing internet addresses since man invented fire.

    Whats more fun is DOS attacks like this. Trojan that pings some dot com.

    Make your application really cool and useful, and some dot com is fucked.

  17. Appendix note on Playing God with Monsters · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'm all for genetics. In fact I designed the gene chip independently of hearing of it. GPS too. I'm not a fucktard, but studying the brains of serial killers sounds a bit whacked.

  18. Frankenstein on Playing God with Monsters · · Score: -1, Troll

    The real monsters are the men who wants to do this study.

    If you are looking for true evil, it will find you faster than you find it.

  19. Flava-flav? on Flavor vs. Flavour · · Score: 1

    heck I don't even know if I spelled the guy's name right, but he's the bad ass with the clock on his neck.

    Key being, Public Enemy was overclocked almost to the point of bein racist, but the real ideal, is that they saw where MTV was going. Real visionaries, and where MTV is at, is basically hell. I give Public Enemy props for standing on one side of the line to counterbalance the fools on the other.

  20. Exactly my point on Are We About To Enter The Age of Book Piracy? · · Score: 1

    We need to revise our economic system in order to give benefit to those who share information.

    Right now, there are a few wealthy elite who make decisions, while poor kids are basically being denied an education for no other reason than they were born poor.

  21. God I hope so on Are We About To Enter The Age of Book Piracy? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why did man make libraries?

    To store all his information.

    Why will man not share his information?

    To hold power over other men.

  22. Maybe its your wakeup call? on How To 'Sell' Open Source Software · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    You just explained you date "Joe Six Pack" who doesn't believe the ideals that his own religion teaches.

    I could go deeper, but you seem to only want to play on level one.

  23. Full circle on There Is No Single Instant In Time · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I viewed Zeno of Elea's problem, as the ability of a boy to become a man, and a man to guide his child. Most people, when they are young can understand what good is supposed to be in theory. Then as the boy meets people, he sees what life is, and may show weakness at some moments, and almost lose sight of his core views. To come full circle, is to understand all the situations, for all people. But I view Zeno's argument that he's trying to say that you can't know every single situation for every single man, simply because you haven't been on every step.

    I argue that a man with an imperfect view can still form perceptions of his child because the first step is understanding the circle, and estimating where the child would be in relation to the man's previous experience. The key is that culture changes with time, so the problem is even more complex. The circle is not stationary, but moves with the flow of culture. Much like Ying and Yang shows that good and evil flow, the cultures of the world are in a steady flux. A man must watch not only understand the circle that he's been through, but also the complex path his child is taking.

    What I find interesting is that how few men existed then, before we crowded each other. Few men existed, yet you have philosophies that lasted millenia and can be interpreted many ways. Today, there's more men than ever, and we're writing history, and directing the path of culture. We have an educated poor which was heatedly argued against in the early 1900's. Back in early civilization, we had invaders like Gengis Khan, so the defense industry was born. Today, there are no invaders, but the defense industry doesn't want to die. Then if you look at individual cultures, everyone goes through change. The danger of it all is forming your own personal self when picking and chosing cultures.

  24. Your Permanent Record on Predicting H.S. Dropouts With Pervasive Databases · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The urban legend lives? Do we really need to pidgeonhole unlikeable kids as stupid kids?

    Theres more genious out there than you think. I have friends that are very smart, but the school system didn't work for them.

    School needs to change, but not like this.

  25. Permanent Record on Predicting H.S. Dropouts With Pervasive Databases · · Score: 1

    Its no longer an Urban Legend
