  1. Re:Cloning / Souls on Top 10 Scientific Advances of 2004 · · Score: 1

    Im curious, what do you think cloning has to do with the conecpt of a soul? One is biological research, the other a philosophical / theological concept.

  2. LaPorte is in indiana, not michigan on 2004 Election Weirdness Continues · · Score: 1

    Thats michigan city, LaPorte County, Indiana. Not LaPorte Michigan. Notice in the article that they were going to confirm with Indianapolis about the results.

  4. Why do it? Cause the price is good on Apple Plans to Purchase Universal Music · · Score: 1

    Probibly as much a reason as any for apple to pull this move is that Vivindi/Universal is in a cash crunch and needs to shed assets to stay afloat. Jobs knows that VUE must sell or thier gonna go bankrupt, so he can offer a relitivly low price for that unit. Remember when Vivindi bought seagrams (who owned universal) they payed 34 billion for it. 6 bil isnt really as hugh ammount for universal esp considering they make 500+ mil a year....

  5. Re:Moral Responsibility??? on Symantec Claims They Knew About Slammer In Advance · · Score: 2, Funny
    Symantec's ONLY moral responsiblity is to increase value to their shareholders.
    Wow, thats Symantec's ONLY moral responsibility? If thats the case, then they should sell crack to kids to boost thier profit margin. After all, acording to you the only thing that matters is if they make money. Sorry, i dont buy it. Companies have an obligation to make money, but its neither thier only one, nor thier highest one.

  9. forget tv, VEGAS man! on Comedy Central Cancels BattleBots · · Score: 1

    Shit, these guys need to take this show to vegas. If ever there were a match made in heaven its that.

  10. Arrest the criminals on Network Webcurity Wishlist? · · Score: 1

    I think its kind of funny that most of the posts here advocate punishing the admins who blow it, security wise and no one really seems to care about punishing the ppl who are doing the hacking. Read steve gibson's article about his brush with a script kiddie, its very revealing. The most interesting part to me was not so much the technical details of the whole thing, but the fact that no law enforcement or isps really cared to do anything and both steve and wicked knew that. Look, if you dont start actually arresting some of these script kiddies what difference will any of the laws make?
