  1. Re:Why would google do this? on Gmail Cracks Down on Third-Party Notifiers · · Score: 1

    Well, I guess this is going to test gmail's spam filtering. Thank you AC for providing me with such an opportunity to test this feature. I will always be grateful and in your debt. Jonathan

  2. Re:Coral link on Liberated Games Launches · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it is because the original site is /.ed that the Coral link is unable to create a cache. I bet it would have worked slightly before the /.ing.

    Actually, I have a few gmail invites. If you want one, e-mail me at gmail.com using jatencio. I have about 4 of them left. Jonathan

  4. Re:Apology on Mathematician Claims Proof of Riemann Hypothesis · · Score: 1

    When a proof comes out one of three things follow. One, it is wrong, two, it is trivial (obvious), or three, I wrote it.

  5. Re:*Disney* came out ahead when they dumped Pixar on Welcome To Planet Pixar · · Score: 1

    However, I think PIXAR has shown that it at least has the potential to continue to make great films, even if it does release a few duds in the future. I think the time of Disney is over. Sure, they will continue releasing Toy Story/Nemo/Monsters sequels in the future, but where is the innovation? Where is the mass audience appeal? I don't think Disney will be able to match the potential PIXAR now has with their name and proven ability to make good movies for both children and adults.

  6. Fedora Documentation on Fedora Core 2 Review · · Score: 3, Interesting
    A program that would set up unofficial repositories with a few clicks would take care of this, along with some prominent documentation telling you how to get the things you need. I could not find any real documentation at the Fedora site, except for RedHat 9. This may be due to my lack of time to search for it, but if it exists, it should be clear where it is at.

    Although I could not find information on the main sites either, I found the following documentation very useful as I was really impressed with Fedora Core 2 and got everything I needed to work by following these tips!

    A Fedora How To for Multimedia

    An RPM repository that fedora.redhat.com and fedora.us could not release!

  7. Re:sony vaio on Fedora Core 2 Review · · Score: 1

    From what I can tell, that was a bug in Fedora Test 1. Since then, it seems that that problem has been solved. I have been using Fedora Test versions since they first came out on my Laptop with Windows XP and have not personally experienced this problem. The new release seems solid to me though.

  8. Re:We need Mars on O'Keefe Under Fire for Hubble, ISS Decisions · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Well, I think the current Mars mission is proof that we can do some real science and still get the public involved. I think was NASA has been doing recently with Mars has been fascinating and I would like us to continue our space exploration.

    Survival comes first - pretty pictures come next.

    I whole heartily agree. And a lot of research can be done about survival right here on Earth. Not only that, by the time we will be ready for Mars, we should know enough about survival to sustain a small population on Mars. Currently, we cannot do so. If Earth was wiped out tomorrow and we had people on Mars. They would be pretty much screwed because they still need to be supported here on Earth.

  9. Re:We need Mars on O'Keefe Under Fire for Hubble, ISS Decisions · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I would like to people go to Mars in my lifetime as well. However, I do not think we should go so far as to remove research that is good science for fantasies and risks that just do not need to made at this time. The Hubble telescope and various projects should not be scraped in order to go to Mars. I think Hubble's recent deep space images is enough to show that it is still useful and valuable.

    Privacy means that only the intended recipient of a message can read it.

    I must disagree. Even if I communicated only via encrypted session using e-mail and such, as a recipient of an encrypted, I can still forward that message, or archive or what ever. The point is, there is no guarantee that you message is secure after the recipient received it, its only while be sent over the wire.

  11. Being From New Mexico on An Ignition Interlock In Every Car? · · Score: 1

    I am here in New Mexico and I think idea has far more consequences besides those opinions already expressed here. Do you know what I am going to do? Buy my vehicle from another state. Texas, Colorado, Arizona, Oklahoma are all states that are near by that just might find that their border car dealerships are suddenly doing well.

    This amidst the fact the New Mexico's economy is the best to begin with and I can see how this would hurt vehicle sales that take place here. Also, if I ever decide to sell my truck, I cannot make a profit if I have to install one of these devices. I would eventually try selling it in another state or something like that. I think it is an awful idea and I am surprised that it passed. Even the author of the bill was surprised at how much support it received.

  12. Re:try and locate the magic bullet.. on WineConf 2004 Wrapup · · Score: 1

    I have been keeping up to date with wine for several years. Having a windows partition has always been optional. It is for some of the *.dll that have not been fully implemented in Wine yet. However, having the partition is not necessary. It runs just fine with out it.

  13. Re:Does it say... (Simpsons sig) on NIST Releases Guide to Cyber Attacks · · Score: 2, Informative

    How come Homer and Krusty look like clones?

    I think Homer and Krusty look a like because originally, the Simpson's premise was about a boy who hated his father but was in awe with a clown who looked exactly like his father. Thus they look a like.

  14. Re:Other options? on End of Life for Red Hat 7.x, 8.0 · · Score: 1

    I am getting ready to move 100+ computers from RedHat 7.3 to Debian Woody. I was a little worried hearing about people having trouble installing Debian, but when it came to pass. It was fairly easy and straight forward. I have been quite impressed by Debian since I last used in 1999.I am glad to hear that others are making similar decisions.

  15. Re:so lets make this simple on Windows Services For Unix Now Free Of Charge · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Not only that, but IBM is IBM now and no longer an acronym. They dropped the name 'International Business Machines' a few years ago.

  16. Re:Why Not to Shop at Wal-Mart on Wal-Mart Music Download Service Launches · · Score: 1

    I do agree that Wal-Mart is a "monopsonist," however I do no think people are going to complain too much because the anti-trust laws were put in place to protect costumers. Wal-Mart is generally not hurting consumers, at least when it comes to the bottom line.

    I remember reading about the EU forcing Wal-Mart to raise their prices to protect other retailers. But, for the most part, people like the low prices and that is why people are going to look the other way when it comes to Wal-Mart's practices.

    The fact that being a "monopsonist" is considered a fundamental flaw in basic mark dynamics seems irrelevant. People care about their pocket books first and foremost.

  18. Re:Is anyone else just BAFFLED? on SCO to Take On Hollywood · · Score: 1

    I think the most appropriate response would be, "if you cannot dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit." Of course, SCO already proved their brilliance. :)

  19. how fast does it kill? on U.S. Continues Biological Warfare Research · · Score: 1

    In the article, it says that even with a vaccine, the mice would still die and that it is not contagious. However, if it were modified to be contagious, how fast would it kill? If it kills too fast, then it will not spread and it really is not a big deal. If it can be transmitted before a carrier even before he or she knows that they have been infected and it is able to spread to other people quickly, then there would be cause for worry. Until then, I am not too worried.

    Now, where did I leave my face mask and latex gloves? ummm...

  21. so far, distributors on 2191.78 Years for the RIAA to Sue Everyone · · Score: 1

    I think if they sue enough people who share their content, enough people won't risk it and suddenly there is a shortage of users who share and downloading will go to the servers who still operate. However, these will be so overloaded that downloads will take too long because there is not enough people distributing closer to home.
