  1. Re:how safe is it? on Superconducting Power Cable in Detroit · · Score: 2

    Imagine yourself being electrocuted and frozen to death at the same time... also the power would probably go out...
    Not much different, I'd think, than standard high voltage wire.

  2. Re:Watch out! on Congress@Work · · Score: 1

    Sorry... seeing this, I couldn't resist... (eg)

    Thought Police: How are you gentlemen !!
    Republicrat: All your children thought are belong to us.
    Demoblican: You are on the way to sheeple.
    Sheeple: What you say!
    Thought Police: You have no chance to crimethink make your time.
    Thought Police: HA HA HA HA

    Ok, I'm sure I'll get modded down for the AYB, but I couldn't resist... ;)

  3. Re:Freekin' Great on Delphion To Start Charging For Patent Access · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I patented patening that.

    Don't make me sic my lawyers on ya, I haven't fed em in a while ;)

  4. Re:Patents and Frequencies? on Delphion To Start Charging For Patent Access · · Score: 1

    Although I wholeheartedly agree, the patent could only cover the actual process of modifying the genes; a child that happened to be born with the genes wouldn't need to pay royalties in any case because of the amendment barring slavery... whichever one that is (its late ^_^)
    IANAL, but this is basically paraphrasing one with whom I had a similar discussion.

    Companies come and go - but code remains forever
    Companies come and go - but code remains until the MPAA deems it content control circumvention.

  6. open source biology... on Open Source Biology And Knowledge Distribution · · Score: 1

    Open source biology... brings a whole new (old?) meaning to the term virus.

  7. Re:Federal Copyright on MS VP Speech Online · · Score: 1

    hmm... The problem I see with people releasing code as 'free' in your sense is it provides no incentive to companies to make their own code likewise free. You have to remember that corporations are obligated to (try to) profit as much as possible.
    Its a tragedy of the commons thing... I write a |337 program, release it as public domain or whatever, and, say, microsoft (woo hoo, M$ bashing!) goes and takes it and incorporates it into one of their products, putting their own license on it. Now I've just done work for M$ and they haven't compensated the community at all.
    GPL gets around this by requiring that users of the code likewise GPL, so we don't get this tragedy of the commons, so to speak.

  8. Re:1 TB filesystem on 1TB In A Cubic Centimeter · · Score: 1

    Who uses those my pictures, music, documents, whatnot? All my stuff is in the secret stash of porn :p so there's no point in the other directories

  9. Re:I don't like this on IBM & Carrier in Web-Enabled Air Conditioner Deal · · Score: 1

    Eventually they added in features that basically made the temperatures tend towards normal...
    I haven't been over at that site for a while though.

  10. Incomplete products on Agenda VR3 Review · · Score: 2
    [Editor's Note: Subsequent to receiving the device I got a message from Agenda stating that the "...the QuickSync software did not make it onto the CD, the developers are finalizing it."]
    Frankly, I don't care if its Kessel International Holdings Ltd. or Electronic Arts (*cough* UO: Renaissance *cough*) releasing the products, I think it is inexcusable when downright incomplete products are shipped. When I buy a product, I sorta have this assumption that I've bought a fully functional PDA, not a PDA that says 'login screen not implemented yet'...

    In other words, something in orbit is moving such that gravity is perpindicular to its direction of motion at all times, and is thus a circle (assuming its mass is the mass of whatever its orbiting) either that or I'm really confused... or perhaps even both :p
