    Just so i can watch tv? Ya, isnt technology grand.

  3. Re:Ummm This isnt new on MIT Wirelessly Powers a Lightbulb · · Score: 1

    Why should i? If i cant get all i need from the title, then its worthless information to me.

    Tesla was doing this a generation ago.

  5. Tyrell Corporation? on Venter Institute Claims Patent on Synthetic Life · · Score: 1

    Well, many people wondered how you could make money off OSS, here is your example.

  7. If its so bad on 'Dangers of the Internet' Resolution Passed By Senate · · Score: 1

    Just ban its use by private citizens and be done with it. Isn't that what they try to do with everything else that is even remotely connected to our constitutional freedoms anyway?

    Oh wait, then they cant tax it.. the internet is saved! :)

  8. Re:OMG! They got slashdot!!!! on Censorship is Changing the Face of the Internet · · Score: 1

    And when the ISP is told to start sniffing packets, the turn you in and you get taken away by the guys in the black vans never to be seen again.

    Once the 'state' gets involved in censoring information the stakes get MUCH higher, quickly.

  9. Re:Huh on Safemedia's CEO Tells Congress He Can Stop P2P · · Score: 1

  11. Re:hardware/software communicating? inconceivable! on A Hardware-Software Symbiosis · · Score: 1

    Sounds more like a BIOS to me.

  12. Billions of dollars in taxes? on Internet Tax Imminent? · · Score: 1

    Don't count on it. If you start taxing, use will go down drastically. It might even virtually destroy the internet as we know it.

    Besides, don't they already tax at a flat rate due to telecommunication taxes, sales taxes on equipment, tax on power use, etc. I always thought double taxation wasn't permitted?

  13. How about a 'useage fee'? on Russia Claims IP Rights In Manufacture of AK-47 · · Score: 1

    Have to kick in $ ever time you shoot someone... Or, how about you have to give up a % of the take if you are a revolutionary.

    Dont expect me to be paying up anytime soon.

  17. Not a big deal on TiVo Says It Could Suffer Under GPLv3 · · Score: 1

    They just move to a BSD-centric model and stay away from GPLized code.

  18. Shhhhh on Boys with Longer Ring Fingers are Better at Math · · Score: 1

    Dont give away the secret on statistical analysis.. 'its all relative'.

    If the secret gets out, it would put all of us 'numbers guys' out of business!

    "a surgical strike had taken out saddam and a few of his commanders"

    Sure, that would have worked if it was possible. But it wasnt or we would have done it. So, a large scale melting of the area is appropriate, would have saved countless American lives and served as a warning in the future.

    Making amends? for what? You cant compare our so called 'interference' with Saddams actions. So try again.
