  1. Re:This is a good thing on Proposed Law To Open Code ... In Cars · · Score: 1

    I am not so sure this is so good. What you are saying is it is up to the car manufacturer to decide what is good for not only grandma, but everyone else.

    What if I want to tinker or fix the car my self. Without the info/protocalls I cannot do that. To me it seems equivilent to saying that Compaq/HP should make all computers and not release anything about any new protocalls they develop in efforts to speed up thier machines. We dont need to know whats going on, it is just better for us. Keep it all proprietary.

    If you do not want to know what is happening in your car, fine. But I do and the information should be freely available.

    Anyway...

  2. zzzzz..... on Video Games to Help You Relax · · Score: 1

    I will kick but while I am sleeping....

  3. Seems kind of elitist on TLD Registrar Wants To Charge $300 For .Pro Names · · Score: 1

    The one nice thing about the internet is it, for the most part, is class less. By adding an exclusive domain, or "premium", it makes the others "cheaper". I dont think it is a great idea.

    No one will get directly hurt by having premium domains, but it doesnt promote the free and equal feel of the net as it stands today. If Doctors only want to talk to doctors, use a login like everyone else. How does adding .pro help??

    Unless of course MS offers A premium Internet Explorer Pro written in either .net or C#....

  4. High tech money laundering... on NATO Developing Environment Friendly Weapons · · Score: 1
    Well I am glad that they are concerned about the environment, but why save the trees if they are going to burn up in the explosion?
    • How much chlorine based chemicals are released because of missle launches each year?
    • Is it cheaper to plant a tree?
    • Does it make more sense to develope chemicals to treat the chlorine products after the burn?

    I would think swimming pools would cause more chlorine based by products...but I am no chemist.

    Sounds like a great way to justify spending more money....

    Do I sound cynical??
  5. Hmmm... on Software Aesthetics · · Score: 1

    Nice resume.

  6. Now that the server is jammed... on Borland Kylix Is Free - Sort Of. · · Score: 1

    Anyone know where else to get the tar from now that Borlands server has come to a deadly crawl? :-) Farmer-Al

  7. sigh on Macropayments: ISPs pay Content Providers for Access · · Score: 1

    Can nothing exist in a simple form? Just seems like a layer of bureaucracy trying to be implemented for the sake of financial gain...

    I guess evertone wants to make money somehow.
