  1. Re:Who do you root for? on Israeli Ministry of Commerce Picks OO.org Over MS · · Score: 1

    The difference between the East and the West right now simply comes from the fact that the West managed to break the bounds of Religion

    Meaning the west has to find new excuses to kill people

  2. Strange... on More on the University of Florida · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...because 12 year old children get sued for thousands of dollars and students "will lose their connection and be punished by being forced to watch industry propaganda, lengthy suspensions of access, or even a written reprimand.".

    Sounds fair to me

  3. Re:Terror? on E-Bombs: Technology Update · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I fail to see why the war is a failure because it cost money.

    Well both Osama Bin Laden, and Saddam Hussein are still have not been captured or killed. The primary objectives of this war against terrorism.

    Also, Al Queda *does* spend quite a bit of money too (remember the U.S. trying to freeze assets?). Arms dealers aren't working for free ya know.

    Which is still nothing compared to what America is spending

    And what I'm trying to say is, the way America is trying to fight this war is, like trying to kill a fly with a nuclear bomb. Maybe they should use there resources more effectively

  4. Re:I wish I owned a biotech startup on Red Sea Urchins Nearly Immortal · · Score: 1

    Micheal Jackson already has a lab full of these creatures being studied, in his quest for immortality

    But i think progress goes slow, lately, as he has other things on his mind

  5. Re:Terror? on E-Bombs: Technology Update · · Score: 3, Insightful

    However, terrorists would rather use low-cost/high-bodycount methods, like hijacking a plane and flying it into a building; no cost to Al Queda (they just had to pay for training and carpet knives).

    That's why the Bush method for fighting terrorismn is not working: cost America 100 + billion dollars, Al Queda nothing (in comparison)

  6. Ha on Mafia Tech Support · · Score: 1

    ..but have a flexible moral compass

    Wouldn't a lot of jobs these day require a flexible moral compass?? Just read the story below this one.

  7. Re:I'm a proponent of nuclear energy on Uranium Pebbles May Light the Way · · Score: 1

    With Gulf War II over ...

    Just because Bush says it's over doesn't make it so. How many Soldiers have died there since Bush declared the war to be over? this war isn't over, not by a long shot

  8. And The Winner Is... on Microsoft to Launch MSN Music Service in 2004 · · Score: 1

    going to be the one with the least restrictions on the music files that can be downloaded, even if it will be much cheaper than it's competitors.

  9. Hey on Memory Holes and the Internet (updated) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Looks like somebody want's to remove the evidence that will make somebody look stupid. Maybe Bush should have talked to his daddy before invading Iraq

  10. Re:Concerned on Google Expanding To IRC? · · Score: 1

    The "information" on IRC is 99% crap
    And the information on the WWW is 95% crap, so what's your point again?

  11. Re:Hilarious? on Sony Music Testing New Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    Judging by the vast amount of MP3's available on Kazaa, I see no reason why they shouldn't trust people who have shown time and time again that they'll happily make copyrighted material available to everyone for free.

    Then again, they have been ripping us off for years, with they're ridiculous prices for a plastic disc that generates vibrations in the air, in conjuction with a plastic disc playing device

  12. Re:Invention ? on iTunes Music Store - 'Coolest Invention of 2003' · · Score: 2

    So they invented an easy-to-use store? Great!?!
    Yeah, that sounds almost as stupid as an easy to use computer

  13. Re:Invention ? on iTunes Music Store - 'Coolest Invention of 2003' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The way the store is presented, easy and powerfull is the invention they are talking about; Making it easy to use for everybody

  14. Okay Okay... on Microsoft Offers A Bounty On Virus Writers · · Score: -1

    It was me! now give me my goddamned money!

  15. Re:help on Apple Updates iBook Line With G4 Processor · · Score: 1

    Maybe before you go off to buy a Mac, you might want to know there is a windows version of EV:Nova and you can download it here

  16. Re:Round 2! on Microsoft's Take on iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    It *is* extremely hypocritical, but also typical, of Microsoft to make thiese kinds of statements.

    I'd rather see them making these statements then sabotage the software. Remember what they did to the Netscape Navigator startup times, and the Quicktime error messages??

  17. Reply from Valve on Half Life 2 Source Code Leaked · · Score: 1

    check this out, no leaks, Valve has been hacked!

  18. Re:Why should they? on Linksys Still In Violation of the GPL? · · Score: 0

    That's the deal: You can use ours if you show us yours

  19. Re:No big deal on Microsoft Longhorn Delayed · · Score: 2, Funny

    And the reason why it is delayed is that because of a bug in Longhorn they were denied access to the Longhorn source.

  20. Re:Will be arresting... on Blaster Writer Caught · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Well if he's reads slashdot, he'll be long gone by now

    Is it standard FBI practise to anounce to the public they will arrest someone before they actually do?

  21. Re:Does it integrate with current DevEnvs? on IBM Releases Compiler for Power4 and G5 · · Score: 1

    Does it integrate with ProjectBuilder, XCode or CodeWarrior? I don't know, you tell me. If not, who will use it? A better question would be: is it compatible with objc (cocoa)?

  22. Re:Won't initially run on a G5? on FWB Admits RealPC for Mac OS X was Vaporware · · Score: 1

    Do they mean, won't initially run with G5 optimizations?

    It means, it won't run on anything, ever again

    The source code is missing, and rewriting this kind of stuff from the ground up would require a little work, a little to much work that is.. or were you talking about Virtual PC? :)

  23. hey? on FSF, GCC, and SCO Compiler Support · · Score: 0, Troll

    Does that mean gcc will drop linux support now it is owned by SCO? : )

  24. Question on Chimera Twins Story · · Score: 1

    The resulting person has two sets of DNA. The story says it is possible for a Chimera to have different sets of DNA in different body parts. This can cause complication for body identification, DNA typing for organ transplants

    Wouldn't the body be compatible with boths sets of dna? Otherwise how would the current bodyparts communicate with eachother? That would mean Chimera Twins will have a broader range of organs to choose from.
    If not the solution would be to extract dna from the part that needs to be replaced

  25. Re:The Key to Tomb Raiders Sucess on Core Design Loses Grip On Lara · · Score: 1

    and those boobs keep getting bigger with each sequel, by the time tomb raider 15 hits the streets all you'll see is a walking pair of enormous boobs
