  1. Re:Federal Judges Need to Go Back to School on Federal Judge Says No Right To Secret Ballot, OKs Barcoded Ballots · · Score: 1

    Exactly. The Constitution does not grant rights to the people, it limits the powers of the government. Therefore, just because a "right" is not listed in the Constitution, that does not mean it does not exist.

  2. Re:I'll take getting a job Alex on Is a Computer Science Degree Worth Getting Anymore? · · Score: 1

    Or their solutions are overly complex and inefficient because they were never taught, and were not aware of a simpler well known algorithm/structure. Or it takes them more time to re-invent the wheel of a well known algorithm or structure that would have been taught to them in getting a degree. The most valuable classes I have had in this respect were Logic and Algorithms and Data Structures.

  3. Re:Amarok 1.4.6 For life on Music Player Amarok 2.5 Released · · Score: 1

    Technically, that should be "the interwebs"

  4. Re:Doesn't everyone run in classic? on The Condescending UI · · Score: 1

    I call it the Fisher Price look and feel

  5. Does it run on Linux? on Microsoft Wants Your Feedback On Its New Python IDE · · Score: 1

    Does it run on Linux?

  6. Re:Will it make a difference? on House Websites Jammed After Obama Debt Speech · · Score: 1

    Only if we don't tax enough to cover the cost of the spending.

    The problem is, you can't tax that much. The total debt of the US federal government and unfunded liabilities is $50 trillion more than the total assets of every man, woman, child, business and corporation in the US.

  7. Re:Down with the Government on Ambassador Claims ACTA Secrecy Necessary · · Score: 1

    Wow! A Libertarian on slashdot! I never thought I would see the day.

    I'm with you 100% on that.

  8. Re:Proof by intimation! on Is Simplified Spelling Worth Reform? · · Score: 1

    And the difference between "to" and "too"

  9. BSOD in Linux!!! on Microsoft Providing Virtual Server Free · · Score: 1

    Now us Linux geeks can have a blue screen of death!!!

  10. Re:a popular vote means "end of American demcracy" on Libertarian Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik Answers · · Score: 1

    You obviously live in New York or California, not Kansas or New Mexico. The electoral college does and has done just exactly what it was designed to do.

  11. Re:Al Gore on The Most Incorrect Assumptions In Computing? · · Score: 1

    Thats just political double speak. Stop defending the idiot.

  12. Re:Sco Vs Caldera ? on What if SCO is Right? · · Score: 1

    SCO/Caldera never owned the Unix trademark. The Unix trademark is owned by the Open Group, only the code is owned by SCO/Caldera.

  13. Re:So many things wrong with open source on Will Open Source Ever Become Mainstream? · · Score: 1

    As far as user interfaces go, Big Company/Commercial applications do not mean good user interface. Take a look at the User Interface Hall of Shame. The vast majority of applications listed there are commercial products.

  14. Re:What's wrong with Media Player? on Declawing Windows: Impossible? · · Score: 1

    So make it a free download. I does not matter how "great" the thing is, it is not a part of the operating system.

  15. Re:It isn't Pearl Harbor on Our New Pearl Harbor · · Score: 1

    In your own words, this is bull. The Japanese knew they were at war. The action taken by the US against Hiroshima averted an invasion that would have dwarfed the Normandy invasion and could have cost many more lives, both Japanese and American.

  16. Re:Retaliation on Our New Pearl Harbor · · Score: 1

    Therefore the people responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent people should not be punished?

  17. Re:Slow things down on What Happens When Patents Meet Antipatents? · · Score: 1

    Who is responsible for doing the search on each antipatent to make sure it is not already a patent?

  18. Re:Is it MS's fault? on Microsoft's IE 5.5 Flouts Industry Standards · · Score: 5

    You seem to be missing the point. It is not whether M$ should wait for Netscape, nor that Netscape is a standard itself, it is not. It is the fact that M$ is ignoring industry standards while adding proprietary "features"

  19. Re:You Bet ... (Re:Is there anything of use in SCO on Endgame For SCO · · Score: 1

    Linux can't? What about Linux on S/390?

  20. Re:I mumbled the same thing for a while... on Mac OS X, XML, and Aqua · · Score: 1

    IMHO, putting ALL of /etc in one XML document would not be a viable option, however, using individual XML documents, like sendmail.xml, is an excellent alternative.

    I agree. It is also one thats too hard to say, must be that npr
