  1. Re:does it leak on Toshiba to Demo New Fuel Cell MP3 Players · · Score: 1

    ever have one of those pocket butane solering pencils?

    They are considered safe.

  2. 100% on Hydrogen Generating Module to Help Your Car? · · Score: 1

    100% combustion would give you emission free power.

  3. Good on IE Flaw Puts Windows XP SP2 At Risk · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Let it burn.

  4. news for nerds on The Slurpee at 40 · · Score: 1

    of course it is... its junkfood

  5. Bad idea on Changing a Windows Network to Linux? · · Score: 1

    If you have no experience in some sort of unix, then dont even think about switching your company over.

    Spend enough time learning, to the point you dont need to ask how.

  6. Facts or Lible? on Doctors Sue Patients for Online Complaints · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If they are stating *facts* or clearly stating that its a personal opinion, it should be clearly legal to post the information.

    If the doctors prevail, its one more strike against freespeech.

    Now, if they are *lies* then more power to the Doctors.. and no, i couldnt get to it to read the article.

  7. Re:Secret OptOuts on GMC to Begin Remotely Scanning Cars for Trouble · · Score: 1

    Then cut the wire at base of the onstar.

    At this point i dont think its integral to the ECM.. ( now tomorrow, who knows )

  8. Bye Bye TiVO on TiVo OS Update Adds Content Protection · · Score: 1

    No thanks, id prefer to retain control of my legally recorded media.

    Once the general public gets wind of this, there will be hell to pay. ( i hope ).

    'They' cant keep hiding this stuff from the general consumer for ever... People are more aware then they were 10 years ago.

  9. Secret OptOuts on GMC to Begin Remotely Scanning Cars for Trouble · · Score: 1

    What is even worse is when you dont know you can opt out.

    Often you arent really told, so you just accept it as 'standard'.

    If you do buy a new car I'm sure if you pull a fuse 'onstar' is toast. ( unless that violates some AUP policy and you get sued afterwards )

  10. *calling driver.. calling driver" on GMC to Begin Remotely Scanning Cars for Trouble · · Score: 1

    "Hello, driver? We can tell that you have a flat tire."

    *moment of silence*

    "You are also currently parked in a low rent district. This area is known for illegal activities. Do you need assistance?"

    *moment of silence*

    "Hello, driver are you needing assistance? We are now detecting you are exiting a known crime area at a high rate of speed." " for your safety will automatically contact the nearest police car, which you are now speeding by, at a rate 2 times the legal limit"

    "have a nice day"

  11. Glad i live in america.. on Singapore Bloggers Charged Under Sedition Act · · Score: 1

    Where i still have freedom of speech.

    As long as i dont offend anyone, say something obscene, tell you how to build a bomb, insult a sitting congressmen..

    Hmmmm ...

  12. Generate Electricty? on Making Ice Without Electricity · · Score: 1

    Why not do that instead.. There are plenty of ways to generate small amounts of power in situations like this.

    Be it from a petro generator, stream power, sun, or just plain muscle ( hand cranked generator )

  13. First PeopleSoft, now this? on Oracle To Buy Siebel · · Score: 1

    Wonder what is next..

    Now all they need is a server OS and a server based office suite to push.. 'Hello Sun Micro, we need to talk'.

  14. Didnt Bush do this already? on Controlling Hurricanes? · · Score: 1

    Why, didnt he cause Katrina to speed into new Orleans to devistate the black population?

    Its a joke, sarcasm..

  15. It depends on your future on Computer Science Curriculum in College · · Score: 1

    It all depends on what you want to do with your life.

    There is no 'right' or 'wrong' answer here.

    Your best bet is to go shopping for the type of job you want, and see what the requirements are. Then match those with the course structure being offered.

  16. Mainframe Laser on New IBM Ultra Fast Printer · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of the laser we had on our system years ago. It would print as fast as the operator could feed it boxes of paper.

    Impressive device.. huge.. loud...tempermental..

  17. Office Versions on Windows Vista To Come In 7 Flavors · · Score: 1

    This already confuses people.

    Until you sit down and read the mountains of license restrictions, even server 2003 isn't 'obvious'.

    One version, one price.

  18. This is an example of markting out of control on Windows Vista To Come In 7 Flavors · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You only need 1 version of a desktop OS. Sure you may have *options* on top of that, but this is just marketing to make it sound more important and to suck even more money out of the consumer.

    7? Sheesh.

  19. Re:This is a problem? on China Telecom Blocking Skype Calls · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but its arrogance.

    Now, if you want to talk about basic human rights, then we can discuss freedom.

    Now, that said, i also do not follow any rule i dont belive in personally. However, i dont feel i have a right to force my beliefs onto another person ( or country ). ( again, the basic human-rights disclaimer applies )

  20. Great Start on Self-Repairing Spacecraft Uses Ant Logic · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think its more of a 'start' of something..

    You cant repair something if you dont know its broke...

    So, this would be the logical first step.

  21. Eroded freedom on Some Rights May Have To Be 'Eroded' For Safety · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you have no freedom at the end of the day, who cares if you are 'safe'.

    But of course no government would think that way, by design they are out to control the public and absorb their rights and freedoms.

    Our founders here in the US knew this all too well, and tried to prevent it from happening *again*.

    They failed of course, but they were right.

  22. Re:Time for more Bush Bashing on Hubble Future Is Cloudier After Katrina · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You need to pay more attention, i saw no less then 10 anti-bush posts before i made mine.

  23. Meaningless on Hubble Future Is Cloudier After Katrina · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Ah, so the proliferation and protection of freedom around the world is meaningless.

    Ya, I got ya..

  24. Time for more Bush Bashing on Hubble Future Is Cloudier After Katrina · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'm sure this simple report about the effects of a hurricane on the near-future efforts of NASA will somehow be twisted around into 'its Bush's fault'.

    Sad people, you need to get a life.

    Its also a shame that NASA got hit this hard, perhaps they should consider spreading their facilities around the country instead.

  25. Re:This is a problem? on China Telecom Blocking Skype Calls · · Score: 1

    Ah so your rules should take precedent to another countries rules.

    My, arent you arrogant. Who gives you the right to tell ANOTHER COUNTRY what is right and wrong?

    Some countries ( peoples ) belive its wrong to eat beef. Does that mean they are wrong because you eat dead cows? Where is the line?

    VOIP isn't some sort of basic human right. Beyond the universal rights, each country, and its people, have a right to choose what they consider right and wrong.
