  1. Livestrong on The Paradox of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is Livestrong's anti-cancer mission any less worthy now that Lance Armstrong is de-famed?

  2. Sounds like an Onion story... on Wikipedia Scandal: High Profile Users Allegedly Involved In Paid-Editing · · Score: 1

    Sounds like an Onion story... I didn't RTFA though.

  3. It's leaking already! on Chinese Automaker Launches Remote-Control Family Car · · Score: 1

    Funny seeing it's leaking already, in a nice controlled arc at 2 mph. Floor was so clean too. I thought the remote controls on air conditioners were weird too, but so useful for high or odd spots. This RC park / un-park may be standard in 10 years.

  4. Re:So he taunted... why difference does it make? on Physicist Calculates Trajectory of Tiger At SF Zoo · · Score: 1

    Actually that tiger did attack a zoo keeper about a year ago...

  5. Re:Legal options on Vermont Goes Opt-In, Corps Unhappy · · Score: 1

    I tried to find this out, but is turns out you can do nothing- it is a lame law imposing no method of seporating data, no oversite, no budget for enforcement, and worst, the corps are to monitor and enforce it on themselves... Below is an email thread.

    Thanks for your patience.

    We have an answer to your question in our
    Fact Sheet 24d on our web, www.privacyrights.org,
    our FAQ on this topic. It's not a cut-and-dried
    answer. If you still have questions after reading
    our discussion of this, please get back to me.

  6. Why questions? on Review: K-PAX · · Score: 1

    Why didn't the government or SETI get involved?

    Why didn't the in-law scientist ask any more questions at the July 4th thing?

    How come hypnotism worked on the human host part of him, but the KPAKean wasn't aware of it?

    Why was he so keen to talk about everything (except lightwave travel) and many other KPACeans are on earth, but we assume that none of the other aliens reveal themselves?

  7. I saw it on U.S. East Coast Bombarded By ... What? · · Score: 5

    I saw one, I was sitting on a stoop at 307 N 3rd in Philadelphia waiting for someone just looking around at buildings and the sky and to the NW this big fireball zoomed by; looked to be about a mile away - no sound. I hoped it was a meteor, but thought it might be a small plane or a burning fuel dump from a larger plane. It got pretty low so some of them may have hit. Real quick, just like a shooting star where if your looking the wrong place or blink you'd miss it.

  8. Re: Foo Inc. on NSI Wants .banc and .shop · · Score: 1

    Actually there is yet another TLD in the works for that, .inc, which is 'possed to be _only_ for those who are Incorporated with that name.

  9. $7,000,000 US on How Much Is A Web Site Worth? · · Score: 1

    If you categorize the future of the computer and digital industries as being at least partially carried by the momentum and power of Linux and the Open Source movement; and realize that /. is a major portal there, one can see HUGE potential. To me ./ is an aggregate of original realtime developing content, flowing in a kind of open way. "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters." says it all! This particular URL branding of the /. community, /. site creators, et. al. is invaluable as it is and will shape and help dictate future status-quos and cultural norms. (We could all of course move to another URL - that might make it even more valuable as advertisers and marketers and users might feel it was back to the 'true inner circle' and loosing some trolls and wannabes, 'new' or whatever.) My point is that it is worth the most now and in the future staying and growing just as it is.

  10. SP7 on Learn from Samba-Man Jeremy Allison · · Score: 1

    Any suggestions on training paths for MCSE's to take to get to be sub-guru level *nix profesionals. Is there anyway to tell in OpenSourcer's code has been used by Microsoft? If W2K does turn out to be a failure, do you see SP7 etc for NT4 coming out?
