  1. Re:PowerOpen Association and 88open on Slashback: Vista Rewrite, Tuttle Travesty, Mac Botnets · · Score: 1

    If you have to ask why one would want to learn, and expirement, then its a lost cause to explain.

  2. Geesh.. Nanny state increases on iPod Update to Address Volume-Level Concerns · · Score: 1

    Of course if you listen to it too loud you will hurt your hearing.. Idiots.. Suits like that should cause the moron to goto jail.. not some million dollar award.

  3. PowerOpen Association and 88open on Slashback: Vista Rewrite, Tuttle Travesty, Mac Botnets · · Score: 0

    Did anything at all come out of those two efforts? Even old designs might be useable for a starting point on FPGA projects ..

  4. Ports not robust???? on DesktopBSD 1.0 Final Released · · Score: 1

    Then you wernt using them correctly..

  5. Since when do kids obey? on Ballmer Babies Banned From iPods and Google · · Score: 1

    More then likely they have several, just to disobey their parents.

    And we care what these rich spoiled brats do because?

  6. Re:Apparently... on Theo de Raadt Discusses OpenBSD and Beyond · · Score: 1

    You missed my point totally.

  7. So? on Iran Cracks Down on Bloggers · · Score: 1

    Internet access isn't a human right.

    Besides, this is iran.. no great loss anyway.

  8. Apparently... on Theo de Raadt Discusses OpenBSD and Beyond · · Score: 0, Redundant

    OpenBSD has no value to the world.

    Now, before you mod me down, or flame me to death: If a project cant get enough funds to keep going, it says something about its worth to the public. If you find somethig of value DONATE, and it keeps going.. If you dont find it of value, then dont dontate and it wil die out.

    Pretty simple math.

    Personally, i have donated and will be saddened to see it go, but seems not enough of us that do appreciate it are out there.

  9. .5TB? on Holographic Storage Crams in 0.5TB Per Square Inch · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sounds like marketing speak to me. Why not just call it 500g and call it a day?

    It also sounds rather low for true holographic technology. we proved ( all the way back in highschool ) that truly massive densities are possible, without *any* moving parts. How? well, i cant tell you that since its under development...

  10. Weather Simulation on 48 Core Vega 2 in the Making · · Score: 1

    DNA work, or other easily parallized processes.. For high end work.. Its not so you can run word or something.

  11. Get what they deserve on Sandals and Ponytails Behind Slow Linux Adoption · · Score: 1

    But, it works both ways, If NO ONE reconizes the poorly dressed dork only beacuse of his dress, then he is still screwed as he never gets a chance to prove his worth beyond what he chooses to wear..

    Appearance is how the world works. If you want to be part of it, you have to deal with it.

  12. Re:My first thought exactally on What Would We Lose From a Regionalized Internet? · · Score: 1

    Thanks for mislabling me as a "undamental religionist or something" ( not even close ). I take it you have something against people that think differently then you and dont agree with globalization at all?

    Sure, US companies are indirectly responsible for most of the spam, but it sent from other places. Remove the 'easy pickings' that is offered by those other countries, spam will drop.

    And while you may have been joking. I wasnt.

    Wars stop beacuse we see other people? Heh, thats funny.. that is what STARTS more wars ' gee, they have something cool that we dont, lets go take it'.

  13. No on What Would We Lose From a Regionalized Internet? · · Score: 1

    On both counts. Im dead serious.

  14. Re:Freedom Goes Down, Gov't Control Goes Up... on What Would We Lose From a Regionalized Internet? · · Score: 1

    In time, that same sceneario will play across most of the civilized world. For the same reasons that governments want total control by nature. Regardless of the internet or its status.

  15. Re:My first thought exactally on What Would We Lose From a Regionalized Internet? · · Score: 1

    While i disagree about the source of the spam, i dont have a problem with us being cut off from the rest of the world.

    It woud be a good start in the right direction for the US.

  16. My first thought exactally on What Would We Lose From a Regionalized Internet? · · Score: 1

    And yes, i also think its worth it... i get 5000 a day .. Sure 99.9% are auto filtered, but its still wasted resources.

  17. One 'invented here' for microsoft on Ballmer Won't Dismiss Idea of Suits Against Linux · · Score: 1

    Clippy.

  18. Dark Clouds on the Horizon on Ballmer Won't Dismiss Idea of Suits Against Linux · · Score: 1

    Even if they cant 'win' with their patents, they can surly pummle most anyoe other then IBM and SUN into obvilion.

    We all know the reason to amass patents is to squelch others, otherwise why have them? I wonder where the critical mass is, when they start suing everyone on the planet, even worse then the *AA's.

  19. Free = Hacking ( eek ) on Misconfigured Webserver, Threats to Call FBI · · Score: 1

    Lets hope that sort of thinking doesnt make it into the legal system..

  20. Why the difference? on Heads Roll As Microsoft Misses Vista Target · · Score: 1

    Why is there *such* a difference between home and business?

    It almost sounds like a re-visit of Win2000 and WindowsME.

    Rather scary if you ask me.

  21. Redefinition on Germany Accepts Strict Piracy Law · · Score: 1

    Well, if it was redefined at least legally it would be *considered* theft in court. While by common definition, it still wouldnt be theft.

  22. Re:no legal distinction on Germany Accepts Strict Piracy Law · · Score: 1

    I never said it was right or wrong, only that its not theft. And its still not, regardless of what you wish to believe.

  23. New? on New Jet Engine Tested · · Score: 1

    Didnt NASA just do this recently?

    Still cool, but id not say its 'new'.

  24. computer expertise? on Al-Qaeda Hacker Caught · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Umm... how hard is it to "securely disseminate manuals...." ? Secure web pages.. geesh. Any 10 year old can do that in this day and age.

  25. I dont see the issue here on Homeland Security Okays Closed Proceedings · · Score: 0

    So they can close the hearing either way.

    Just one way you get notice of a meeting on an unkown subject you CANT goto, and the other you hear about the meeting afterwards.

    Either way, you dont get to hear what was dicussused.. So what is the difference?
