  1. When will censor people wise up! on Science Editors Urge Nondisclosure Of Bioterror Info · · Score: 1

    Terrorists ordering chemicals or trying to pump science peope for hwo to do specific reaction to specific conditions can be tracked..

    By censoring said information we take away our ability to find the terrorists in the first place!

    Consider a samll example ..how do you think colleges track down drug labs on campus?

    Give up?

    Students are freely allowed to sign for chemistry classes..when the dumb druggie attmepts to steal the lab ware form class ..he or she is automatically caught..thus no drug labs on college cmapus. Now imagine if students were censored form choosing to attend chemistry classes..you woudl end up with no attmept at catching people becasue the data is hidden from a potential criminal/terrorist..

  2. RIAA and MPAA have they become th BSA? on The RIAA and MPAA Target Day-Job Downloaders · · Score: 1

    Its ironic that the RIAA and MPAA have to resort empty brouche threats like BSA>..

    Remember Corps and Ltds have limited liability where actions of their employees are cocnenred..

    and remember a MP3 file is not a 100% copy fo a valid cd track...

    My money is not RIAA's or MPAA's

  5. MS opensource on Optimizing Linux Advocacy Efforts · · Score: 1

    We should not be limiting vendora to pseak at these vents..

    However, MS should be told tha tFUD has no value at these events and that spewing FDU can only harm their efforts at the conference..

    I for one would love MS to get questioned about their NET patents at this conference..

  8. Shirkys conclusion does nto fit data on Power Laws, Weblogs, and Inequality · · Score: 1, Interesting

    With over 4 million weblogs currently how can Shirky base his conclusion on less than a valdi statistical sampling?

    you would need at least 200,000 blog sin the data set which only has less than 1,000 thus no conclusions can be made of any value..until he gets more data..

    But than agai maybe Shirky did not take stats or survey classes in colleg eot know how to do this properly

  14. OSS and FSF racist? on Shared Source vs. Open Source · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Depends on what you call race..

    Last time I checked blacks asians and other slavics were different races..

    Remember Cacuasian is a slavic race :)

    But seriusly Asians and black are invovled in opensource.. MS ignoers this fact because they liek being the evil emprie..

    Lets ask a more valid question hwo many women work as programers at MS?

  15. feds can only tax internet access on California Considering More Internet Taxes · · Score: 1

    Feds can only tax on interstate commerce not California..

    Let me explain this way:

    Person A access interent through AOL 1-800 number

    Person B access Internet through PacBell

    While california can tax person B due to them using a local phone number..they cannot tax Person A..Constitutionally only Fed can tax interstate commerce..

    a tax woudl drive everyone to use national isps rather than pay the tax..is this waht California is after?

  21. so college credit is free? on First Red Hat Academy for High School · · Score: 1

    so this is just classes to qualify as college credit..

    I do not know why you people are complaining..each student if they take advantage of training on Red Hat Linux and Cisco is probably saving themselves a year in college in college costs through loans..

    It snot liek they are entering the job market right after this traing as they lack the practical exp on the job..

    Basically those hs course qualify fro credit on the CLEP right?

    Next you people would have HS chemistry outlawed because we learn how to blow things up..

  22. why after your hired? on Dealing with Employers Who Perform Credit Checks? · · Score: 1

    why the credit chekc after you hired?

    Sounds like the company wants a documented written get out of jail card when they fire any employee by saying later that they had to becuase of a credit check..

    I would be leary of this if they did not do a credit check as part of the interviewing process..

    Do not in any terms sign this agreement!

  23. not to mention but its illegal on E-commerce Sites to Collect Sales Taxes Nationwide · · Score: 1

    Not to throw damper on thsi but theri agreement is illegal..

    the only power that can grant permission to state to charge sales taxes on interstate sales(from people out of ste) is the Federal government not the states themselves!

    I suggest if you purhcase onile from one of these companies to dispute the bill..the law i son your side..
