  1. Re:security over privacy on Americans Not Bothered by NSA Spying · · Score: 3, Insightful
    I hate polls like this and the responses they bring. I, like 111 Million other americans (according to their numbers) hate this idea.

    Now that's a lot of pissed off people.

  2. Re:Not again! on First Steps Toward Artificial Gravity · · Score: 1

    It's just too hard for me to not laugh a little at this. Too many times Einstein's theories have been proven over and over, many times without meaning to in the first place.
    Suddenly getting returns many times greater that he predicted just makes me nervous.

  4. What a poor review. on Neal Stephenson's The Confusion Released · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or did that book review seem confusing.
    I'm pretty sure the author didn't pass high school English, with all the tangents and non flowing structure.
    He'd get no more than a C for that one from me.

  5. Re:Education? on Bush's Space Panel Seeks Public Input · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Absolutly. I am now a Junior in college (Math and Physics double major with a CS minor),(having graduated from a middle of the road rural public school), and although my eyes were opened listening to horror stories of some of the extremely poor districts in my state (Illinois), on average, everyone I know coming out of public schools (huge and tiny) recieved all the tools they needed to move on in life. Slashdoters too often concentrate on things like, "do they have a programming class and the latest version of GCC?", when in reality, this isn't and shouldn't be of any serious concern to a well rounded education. Things like word processing and spreadsheet skills are much more important, and they can easily be learned on any old powermac or 486 with free os's and free office packages. Anyway, I'm basically ranting.

  6. Re:Hmm on Breaking the Gigapixel Barrier · · Score: 2, Funny

    That would just plain suck. Part of what makes porn great is that it usually comes in low quality format and your mind can sorta fill in the fuzzy gaps. With that kind of resolution, the models would go from amazing sex machines to some crazy, jaw clinching people whome you could count moles and hair stubble under the armpits on.

    Really, the biggest benifit of working is IT is access to all the free software *cough*

  7. Re:A better way to explore the cosmos on Where Should Space Exploration Go From Here? · · Score: 1

    Your use of the word 'better' is questionable. Just like Star Trek I, I highly doubt these creations will be able to have their own sense of purpose, other than self preservation, or possibly some exploratory sense we give them.
