I'm glad that this research is being done! So what, the government is trying to handle riots in a safer, better way. If anything, this will encourage peaceful protests and deter harmful ones.
They aren't "silencing critics" they're protecting violent mobs from themselves and the police who deal withthem, all to save *you* personal and finacial harm.
It doesn't matter what your politics are, if you're violent, you deserve to face the consequences. Personally, being slimed wouldn't be as bad as bullets.
I can't believe that this guy keeps creating these preposterous statements. In the academic community he'd be shot down and discredited so fast that his head would spin. Why can't the rest of the population see him the same way?

BeOS For Linux

· Score: 1, Interesting
I think BeOS was a nice experiment in OS interface implementation. I'm glad to see it's still around, in a sense.
You go on, but your point is pretty incoherent. Let me address several of your points:
1. This is the best type of natural selection. You say it "goes against" it, but this is the most aggressive type of weeding out bad genes. I can assume you mean that "naturla forces" should decide which traits are bad and not the parents, but you don't explicitely say this.
2. The issue here isn't government intervention. What if the governemnt waited for children to be born and *then* killed "undesireable" ones? It's a pretty stupid postulation, since it's simply not happening.
3. Adoption. There's a huge difference between being infertile, and potentailly passing a debilitating disease onto a child. Yes, there are many children up for adoption. But that doesn't mean someone wanting to have a biological child can't. Anyways, wouldn't adopting be going against natural selection in a MAJOR way?
Some things to think about...

Anyone else think it's totally lame to block a while website, just beacuse I'm using netscape 4.77 in HPUX?
From the interview, it seems the only actual video editing (ie, taking stuff out/putting it in) will be sot shorten the scenes with the voice over. He does make a good point, why would Ford be staring up at a ballon with no voiceover? He's just removing/shortening scenes that were purposefully lenghtened for something that's not there anymore.
It seems the only way that we'll break out of the cycle of recording companies ripping off artists are to bancrupt them. And that means hard times for recording artists while a new economy is built to support them.
I do think that file sharing is a good thing, but it is also destructive to the current economic structure of the music industry. But, with change comes pain.
I would never have thought that AMD couldm possibl be successful. I was wrong then. I'm hoping/thinking that some other company will come up with a competing idea, get their foot in the foot, and surprise the world.
I always wondered how useful the source code would be. At X million lines of code, plus the quality of comments and format might take an army of programmers a year to even figure out where to start.
If they did get it, could they afford the time and expense of analyzing it?
Isn't tapping internet connections the same, legally, as a phone tap? It's nto legal for the phone company to listen in on your conversations to sell to advertisers, it can't possibly be legal to sniff packets to sell to marketers!
It's interesting that in a $9 Billion industry, there's so little money going to Linux gaming. I was disappointed with the bad news this year for Linux game companies. I hope that 2002 will bring good news.
Tux racer, by the way, is awesome! I can't believe how easy ti was to install and run on my Slack box.
Hmm.. the more that each module has to do, the more "expensive" that module becomes. Would these be more expensive, both in energy and $$, than just having specialized robots?
I wonder how a bunch of young children would respond to a type of universal translater.
You base it on pictures. say "Apple" and a picture appears. say "Run" and a picture of someone running appear. See if they can communicate. Try to make it more efficient.
Or I patent the idea myself.

That's his response. The things that changed my mind:
1.Using C#/CLI allows GNOME to suppotr many more programming languages much more easily.
2..NET allows us to ditch the "bad" code that has been generated by patching and updating old libraries, etc. It's a potential fresh start that could be very improtant in the long run.
3. Memory protection. Like Java, it handles garbage collection and related issues very well.
I suggest to anyone to read the above URL, it's very informative.
After reading Miguel's long response to the Register article, I've really changed my mind about.NET architecture. I think I'm going to get a book and start learning it, maybe try to contribute to his effort.
What *I* want are "pocket" ie small books with clear-cut examples of useable code. I switch between Perl, C, C++, Java, etc all the time, and it get frustrating when you forget a certain syntax or way of doing something. Either ONE book with lots of basic syntax examples, or many small books for each language!
No, of course windows has improved. And so has Linux, and MacOS (as well as other developing OSes like qnx, Mac OSX, BeOS, etc).
My point was that the "good enough" theory to development, ie "Why should we try to make Linux a desktop OS when Windows is Good Enough?" is a flawed question, not only one that shouldn't be answered, but one that shouldn't be asked.
Complacency leads to regression. If we aren't always striving to make things better, everything will deteriorate. With a strong Linux desktop push, the price of competing software (Windows and MacOS) will drop, features will increase, and everyone will be better off.

Being modded "troll" means that they're jealous of your comment ;)

And i'd like to order Linux. I very much doubt that there'd be too many people accidentally choosing the Linux option.
If anythimg it'll lower the cost of their machines as they get out from the Microsoft tax, making them better options for us system builders.
On a business PC, I see a "OpenOS with Mandrake CD option" but no Redhat option.

Yes, I'll marry you!
Oh wait, that wasn't for me? BREAK MY HEART WHY DON'T YOU!@@#@#

Just a note, that's "adapted screenplay" not "original screenplay."
Isn't tapping internet connections the same, legally, as a phone tap? It's nto legal for the phone company to listen in on your conversations to sell to advertisers, it can't possibly be legal to sniff packets to sell to marketers!
And get all these ideas implemented in the Linux kernel! Now that we know the future, we can be the first ones there!
But seriously, somehow I don't see this in 10 years.

Slashdot moderation is unreliable, you didn't already know that? That's why we need meta-moderation, to moderat the moderators.
99% of "overrated" are just jealousy, and 99% of "Troll" are people who disagree with your opinion. It's just the way slashdot works.
