  4. Re:Sony, the next MS? on Sony/Palm To Team Up · · Score: 1

    also sony INNOVATES unlike ms. Ms has a nast habit of stealing someone's idea, adding a little to it(grammar check), and selling it for much less. Then once ms dominates the market they keep making new versions and change the file format a whole lot so you are forced to buy the next version. Sony makes nice quality products(diskman, walkman, viao, mavica) that no one else offers. Sony is definatly not the next ms.

    earn a BA in Classics from Tulane U, a BS in Mechanical Engineering

    that's great but it seems all of your exprience at school has yet to get through your thick skull. people don't starve because of a lack of resources, they starve because of greed. that's all I was saying. It seems there are too many college pricks such as yourself who assume just because you've sat through some classes you actually know what's going on. even if we get fusion tommorow it won't matter, because leaders starve their people, and their people will continue to die, the only people who will reap the rewards are us americans who already have too much power(as in watts).

    and i only watch cnn and pbs, none of the crap most americans watch(sitcoms/cartoons mainly). cnn dosen't rot your brain, it makes your brain thrive, the same thing with pbs.

    oh and saying "Miarogers don't get it." really makes you look uneducated. don't spell my name wrong, it is Jeremiah Rogers so therefore i go by miahrogers as a nickname. so you would say "Miahrogers doesn't get it", i guess your BS and BA didn't teach you anything about grammar.

    Widomaker is my ISP, I also disagree with their choice of a company name, but they give me good service so I don't bitch about it.

    first this is a not a fusion reaction. fusion spawns in very hot compressed pools of plasma, but plasma is not fusion. Second you can also just look at a florescent lightbulb and see plasma, we use it everyday and so few people realize it's plasma. so that when someone mentions plasma on /. everyone gets all excited.

  7. Re:I'm sick of this kind of thing. on Combining New/Old Approaches for Nuclear Fusion · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry but if you look in Europe you'll find more efficient cars than those in the U.S. Why? because in Europe gas costs 4times the amount as the U.S. If gas cost that much in the U.S. maybe my neighbors would buy honda civics instead of 40,000 dollar Sport Utility Vehicles. Americans waste power, as we waste beef. It takes 10 pounds of grain to feed a cow to get one pound of beef. The earth has plenty of space and power to feed and cloth the masses. But too many of us americans(including myself) are too damned greedy. If we don't get nuclear fusion we'll probably be forced to use solar power. If we used solar power we'd be forced to create effient machines for once.

    People don't starve because there isn't enough food. There is plenty of food to feed all of Iraq. The people of Iraq starve because of their government keeping their food from them, their government would rather buy palaces for Saddam than feed their women and children

    Perhaps before you go and grab the /. id "NuclearArchaeologist" you should go watch CNN for a couple hours, with your brain turned ON.

  14. cooler than a superbowl commercial on Linux on Jeopardy · · Score: 2

    This is much cooler than the proposed superbowl commercial. just personal opinion of coarse, but the people who watch jeoparody seem to care more about computers than those who watch the superbowl. As the jeoparody is a game of intellect and the superbowl is one of brawn. So maybe we'd be better off if we skipped the whole superbowl idea and got commercials at some other time? like during jeoparody, or sponsored NOVA.

    I'm currently using the most recent nightly build of mozilla. And in case you haven't used it lately, it's about a month from being ready for prime-time.

    The thing that most don't understand is that mozilla is a great browser, and like all great things it takes a while to got it coded. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will mozilla be. Just because Microsoft feels they can release an unstable crappy browser doesn't mean we should loose hope.

    The .gov is starting to turn agains microsoft, and so are MANY of the people who are tired of their insecure, unstable, expensive crappy OS's. let's just name a few, HP, IBM, DELL, SUN, AOL, and you can always look to the current prices of Redhat and Cobalt for more inspiration. Those are HUGE comanies, who are very very tired of being raped my Microsoft.

    AOL owns Netscape, and will be using the fruits of mozilla as soon as it stableizes.
