  1. What about the magnetic cards I see in offices. on Providing Security and Safety for an Autistic Child? · · Score: 1

    Ya know.. the ones you "glide" over a keypad. They look like a credit-card. I don't know where to get them or how much they are... but just a suggestion.

  2. Of course it won't work on A Viable System for Micropayments? · · Score: 1

    "The idea of actually paying for products they use and paying more than the product was produced for is suddenly lost when they go online."

    People are USED to the current system. I would be weary of any micropayemtn system, as well as any other individual with common sense, if it required me to pay MORE than I am now for the same content.

    Likewise I WOULD be willing to use this system, if I could get the same or more for less. Simple huh.

    I think it is difficult because in the digital age..i'll say it again:

    "Information if to the computer what matter would be to a matter replication device"

    There is a virtual utopia of IP simply due to the negligable cost associated with copying and distrobuting any idea.

  3. /. should change its name on 17-inch flat-Panel iMac Dead · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    ..to MacDot...who gives a shit, cuz it is all overpriced.

  4. Fusion is NOT the Holy Grail on Build a Nuclear Fusion Reactor at Home · · Score: 1

    Antimatter reactions are. Far more energy can be produced with a matter - anti-matter collision than with fusion.

    "Looks like a good time to help recruit Mandrake supporters for the Club" ..or just pop that Red Hat cd back in...or yes..Debian

  7. Why bother with this crap on Starcraft · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Ray Kurzweil has hypothosized that the chances for intelligent life are very slim, as they would have already spread their intelligence throught the universe, as we "should" within 300 years. ....well...at least its a good read.

    Good place to start looking, seems Texas has a shit load of opportunity ;)

  11. Ya know whats big.... on Promising Markets for a Startup Company · · Score: 1

    A niche market if the DIY crowd. They love this stuff. I have a marvelous product you need to go out and patent right away. The OCer's grill...Thats right, now you can void the warranty on you CPU AND have doggies in time for dinner. It is simple really. Just take one side of a case off of an Athalon machine, remove that pesky CPU fan (because we all know it just gets in the way and winds up making a shit load of noise and stopping eventually) , pop dem dogs right on that Heatsink with the lil bugger OC'd by %50... WHOO HOO, now grab a beer, buy a CPU FAN/HEATSINK company, get good lawyers, take another swig of that beer, geet good lawyers to watch the other lawyers, get a website, and SELL SELL SELL! Good eats BABY good eats!

  13. Re:Spielberg Over the Hill? on Taken? · · Score: 1

    O yeah.. you ever see Schindler's List?.. damn now THAT was a happy go lucky movie....moron.

  14. Re:Spielberg Over the Hill? on Taken? · · Score: 0

    Dumbass... Bladerunner is NOT a Kubrick film...

    How about you set YOUR ignorant ass on the couch and watch Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, The Shining, and 2001 and then watch AI and report back.

    Bladerunner is a Ridley Scott film.

    For More Ridley Scott check out the original Alien, Gladiator, GI Jana, White Squall, Legend, Thelma & Louise and more.

    OK now, do you like your foot rare or WELL FUCKIN DONE?

  15. Re:Spielberg Over the Hill? on Taken? · · Score: 1

    AI was a masterpiece..

    Spielberg was almost flawless in his execution of Kubrik's ideas... the shot look just as if they had been taken striaght out of a Fubrick film, except for the "moon" baloon and the very ending. I thought it was a piece of cinematic history in another filmmaker staying true to a passed director.

  16. Re:There goes open source developement tools on Microsoft to Buy Rational and/or Borland? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Don't forget bye bye JBuilder...which is where Borland's $ comes from nowdays anyway.

    comon....

  22. NOT somethign new on The Poetry Of Programming · · Score: 1

    It may be new to you with a fancy nice GUI.. but someone has probably programmed you code already (except for game artwork maybe). A bit is a bit is a bit. I have actually been getting burned out, because nearly anything "new" I would like to do has already been done... check out sourceforge. BUT on the other hand one of the beautiful things about Open Source is you can help build the project you are already interested in and make it better than if you have a non-pro go alone ;)

  23. Re:No Farscape, No Sci-Fi Channel on Spielberg's Taken · · Score: 1

    Um...not exactly.. they are continuing the final 11 episodes of the 4th and final season.

  24. Re:The correct measuring scale on New Book Says The Meter Is all Wrong · · Score: 1

    I think you should not base it upon the hydrogen atom per-se.. but base the system across something more universal such as the electron itself.

    No you wouldn't always have to use scientific notation, as an everyday distance will be quantified by some other name.

  25. Ga DAWG... on Relativity Finally Meets Quantum Theory? · · Score: 1
