  1. Re:So which one is Atlantis? on Sunken City Found Off Of India · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Acutally, a popular belief now is that Atlantis was actually a city from the Minoan civilization. I forget the name of the city and island. I think it may have been there capital, Minoa. The island is still around is actually a dormant volcano in the shape of a caldera. Infact the Volcano not only wiped out the population of the island, it also wiped out most of the Minoan empire due to the resulting tidal waves. This island is very similary shaped to the myths of Atlantis. I am sure you can do a google search for it and find more info on it.

  2. PGP encrypted your passwords on Crappy Passwords Very Common · · Score: 0

    A collegue of mine wrote a great program that uses pgp. Basically, you can create a text file that contains the password and a description of what service it is for. Then another text file that contains the key list of users that are allowed to access that particular service. Then it pgp's everything. So you can't add another user to the key list unless you are already in the key list. It is great because it allows a central safe place to distrubute passwords.

  3. Parasitic Computing on The Theory of Leech Computing · · Score: 0

    A better term would be parasitic computing. Since a parasite thrives of off a host.

  4. Very interesting on Weather Balloons as Wireless Telephone Technology · · Score: 0

    I am assuming that the wind at that altitude must not be as strong or persistant at that altitude. Other wise how would you keep these things from being all over the globe?? I could see haveing a controlled decent to keep them from traveling to far. However, that would seem like a pain in the butt to go chasing ballons around!!!

  5. Re:Wine on Judge Says Microsoft Must Give States Windows Code · · Score: 0

    Also if it is in public record. It isn't stealing there "shit" I am surprised that you got so many points for making an ignorant comment. After all are you saying that you have stolen everything from your text books???

  6. Re:Wine on Judge Says Microsoft Must Give States Windows Code · · Score: 0

    Why do I get mod-ed down so much for a post that spurs a lot of discussion??? Slashdot isn't exactly rewarding questioning and learing is it?? I have been reading slashdot for years. I just registered last week......Kind of makes me wonder why I did :(

  7. Re:Wine on Judge Says Microsoft Must Give States Windows Code · · Score: 0

    No I don't think that it would show up on sourceforge. However, you shouldn't pass judgment on my post. After all, someone may learn from reading the source code. This does not mean that they are copying it. Unless, you are implying that you are copying every thing that you have learned from you course work or web pages that you have read!

  8. Re:Wine on Judge Says Microsoft Must Give States Windows Code · · Score: 0

    This guy is going off on a tangent. I mean really. I seriously doust he/she has any legal training and yet he is passing judgement. If the code was put in a public record it wouldn't be stealing, unless they took it line for line. After all. Do you steal from what you learn in a text book or another documentation???

  9. Re:lol on Judge Says Microsoft Must Give States Windows Code · · Score: 0

    If it is released to the states. Doesn't it go into a public record? I am not really sure about this. Any comments from law experts??

  10. Wine on Judge Says Microsoft Must Give States Windows Code · · Score: 1, Interesting

    If us commoners can get a hold of the source code. It would be a huge boost to projects like wine. If the source code was released. How long do you think it would take to get really good windows compatability??

  11. Re-submitted Jetpack on Followup To Bohr-Heisenberg Meeting · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Even addes a question for slashdot on how feasable the jet pack was and......rejected! Oh well.

  12. Re:Okay on Followup To Bohr-Heisenberg Meeting · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Yeah, thanks for the support. I thought that it was a really promising technology. Remember, all the fuss about the Segway? This Jetpack has much more promise and cool factor.

  13. Okay on Followup To Bohr-Heisenberg Meeting · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I can't believe that this story got accepted and my story of a personal jet pack a few days ago was rejected.

  14. Re:Tumors and my jewels????? on Intel Developing Cellular Internet Chip · · Score: 1

    I don't know if cell phones are that safe. Over in the UK there is currently a lot of buzz in the news about cell phones and health. Even if mobiles don't cause tumors, they still give me a headache. However, the headache is probably caused by the coworker at the other end. Either way it can't be good for me

  15. Tumors and my jewels????? on Intel Developing Cellular Internet Chip · · Score: 1

    Cell phones supposedly cause tumors. Well this doesn't make me feel to good considering my laptop ussualy sits on top of where the majority of us do our real thinking!!

  16. Always available on Intel Developing Cellular Internet Chip · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Intel will thus be able to realize an old * company dream ** - the development of a computer enabling users to be connected, any time and any place, to the Internet.

    Great!!! and now my company will realize an old dream of having me available 24X7. There is such a thing as being too connected. Even though it is a pretty cool and useful concept.

  17. How new is this thing?????? on Panasonic Dual-LCD PC · · Score: 1

    Do a google search and look at all of the sites that it is on. All of the sites are in Japaneese. Can anyone shed some lite......or translate :)

  18. Re:Pics available on Panasonic.co.jp on Panasonic Dual-LCD PC · · Score: 1

    One person use the mouse and the other use the keyboard. That is a new spin on Extreme Progaming :) I think I would just get pissed. I really don't see how that could be that useful. However, It might be cool if you could set it up with two keyboards and two mice. And set the OS up so that you could have two users logged in at the terminal concurrently.

    I searched for it and found a bunch of Japaneese sites. I don't think that this thing is very new judging by the amount of sites. Unfortunately I can't read Japaneese :( http://db.ascii24.com/db/review/pc/allinone/2001/0 1/06/621648-000.html
