  1. Re:Canine Cognitive Tests? on U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs · · Score: 1

    if it dropped 50 points than in all likelihood you have no clue what you are talking about.

  2. Re:Canine Cognitive Tests? on U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Brain damage is measured in dead areas of the brain, not by cognitive tests. you are mixing up the terms.

    Brain damage = damage to the brain

    Cognitively Impaired = IQ 70 (or 75 if you are going by the education definition)

  3. Re:Idealogy translating into practice on Norwegian Minister: No More Proprietary Formats · · Score: 1

    DVI is not Linux only you twit. I use DVI files whern I compile my LaTeX files and that is on OS X and Windows. all you need is a DVI veiwer. and creating an OASIS veiwer is also easy to do and will be available in teh future.

    OASIS files wil be the standard format for Abiword and Koffice.

  4. Re:Many unintended consequences.... on Cable Internet Service Not Common Carrier · · Score: 1

    more importantly, lack of common carrier status leaves them vulnrable to legal action due to the misdeeds of their users.

  5. Re:No Bells Tolling Here on Supreme Court Rules against Grokster · · Score: 1

    there are three moderates on teh court. the extremists might be the ones that win, but it is only because they wood a moderate to their side.

  6. Neo-Con way on Iran Continues to Censor Internet Communications · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Demonize the other guy. makes it easier to justify being a prick to them.

    well.. sicne LEGO is Danish, I would not know that it is Plural as well as sigular.

  8. Re:Spelling is for the EDUCATED (Was: Re: Lego's a on New Independent Lego Journal Launches · · Score: 1

    sorry, apparently LEGO freaks are uptite too.

    I should have said "LEGO Blocks". But I thought that short hand colloquialisms for a popular childrens' toy would have been sufficient.

  9. Lego's are for LITTLE KIDS on New Independent Lego Journal Launches · · Score: 1

    what is the deal with people who like legos? it is like they missed a stage of their childhood or something.

  10. Re:It should not be surprising... on Supreme Court Rules Private Property Can be Seized · · Score: 1

    excuse me, but eminent domain is meant for (or use to be meant for) things like public works.

    Leftists are not eh ones taking homes and giving them to developers to tear down for a new luxury condo community, that would be the right wing bastards who are run by the corpratocracy.

  11. Re:should be 98% invisible and irrelevant on First Look at Apple's Intel Developer Macs · · Score: 1

    funny... I do not recall having to manipulate registers directly when using C++.

    I think you might be a moron.

  12. Re:Cheapest PowerMac is now $2000 on Apple Moves to All Dual-Processor Power Mac Lineup · · Score: 1

    apparently it was not bringing them too the platform.

    if it made money, they would not have dumped it.

  13. Re:No Infringement Here on Apple Sued Over iTunes UI · · Score: 1

    sounds like airtunes is a computer that decodes an audio signal and sends it to stereo speakers.

    not that airtunes is controlled by itunes.

    control would be software making a hardware piano synthesizer play its notes and change modes etc.

  14. Re:I'm not getting this one... on Apple Sued Over iTunes UI · · Score: 1

    oh please.. airtunes is just a transport medium to get to the speakers on the stereo, I could easily hook my sound card directly to the stereo with wires... is that controlling the stereo?

  15. Re:No Infringement Here on Apple Sued Over iTunes UI · · Score: 1

    but it is not controlling the device, it is simply a way to connect your stereo to your computer.... perhaps if it is the fact that the express device cannot be generalized to system output at this time. then apple can just release a system patch to alleviate this and the problem is solved.

  16. Re:I have no sympathy for Apple on Apple Sued Over iTunes UI · · Score: 1

    but they did not wait for Windows to actually get popular and entrenched. they went right after it.

  17. Re:They had it coming on Apple Sued Over iTunes UI · · Score: 1

    last time I checked, they were about trademarks, not patents.

    please, name the last patent suit they were in.

  18. Re:Urban legand? on Censored Nagasaki Bomb Story Found · · Score: 1

    if a building is effected by the blast of the bomb, the person in the basement would die from radiation poisoning a few days later, as most people in both cities did.

  19. Re:Urban legand? on Censored Nagasaki Bomb Story Found · · Score: 1

    it is a bunch of crap.

    besides that, a basement will not protect you from death in a nuclear explosion.

  20. Re:Mactel Blue-Tooth/Airport Replacement...? on Intel Working on Agile Wireless Chip · · Score: 1

    umm.. airport is simple a wireless chip from intel packaged to allow for optional internal set up later on.

    and BT is NOT wifi, it is a short range, low frequency wireless communication system for devices.

  21. Re:Intel invents firmware! on Intel Working on Agile Wireless Chip · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think the inovation here is that tehy have created a general purpose WiFi chip that can get its protocol info from a firmware.

    yes, it is urban legend. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are far apart and the man would not be working gin one town and living n another.

    The difference was that back then, Saddam DID have them, the Inspectors actually found huge stockpiles of them.

  25. Re:Much ado about nothing on Desktop Linux on x86 - Adapt or Die · · Score: 1

    well.. Apple could certainly gain ground. I mean, an x86 based Mac means a safe investment for a consumer. they can buy Apple hardware.. try out OS X to see if they like it, if they do not, then they can throw windows on.
