  2. Re:If high-tech medicine is so valuable... on Excerpt from Kessler's 'The End of Medicine' · · Score: 1

    I would dare say that yeah the tech is working a great deal. It's the Diet and the Life style (when was the last time you ran for one mile a day just for the hell of it) that has us in bad shape. If anything our lifespan should be in the 40s but medicine and tech is proping it back up to the 70s. That my friend IS awe inspiring.

    laugh all you want, but some systems have 7 bit bytes and there are other archs that have a 9 bit byte.

  4. Re:New times, same old church on Internet Deconstructing State Church in Finland · · Score: 1

    Actually, gratuity makes a lot of sense. You try being a restraunt server for even 3 months, and then get back to me when you only make $10 off a table of 20. Some people and in certain areas most people are just cheap jackasses who wont pay for anything unless they are required to.

    wow, your so damn stupid you cant even spell coffee correctly. I hope that this is satire. If it isn't then please, let me know what shop you own - so I never go there!

    Aren't these the computers with Verizon Satilite internet? I am not saying that I believe this senator 100%, but come on, to outright say 'thats not possible' is insane. remember upto a point hardware can == software a chip is a chip, the software you load on it (firmware) makes that chip do something. If you think they are going to sift thru every bit of firmware on a motherboard, muchless find it all Then hats off to them, because that is going to be one IMPRESSIVE feat. Secondly, who said anything about leaking tcp/ip packets. or even udp packets. Wouldn't that just be i dont know OBVIOUS! If your going to spy on a national government- that is the LAST protocol that I would use.

  10. Re:too bad this technology... on Fake Scientific Paper Detector · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    it seems that some people on slashdot are so mindset-boolean. that it never occured to them that the statement was serious, but the way it was stated was a joke. Go watch some of the absurd things "papa bear" as colbert calls him says... hasn't anyone ever heard the expression never feed a troll.. have a good day.

  13. Those astroids could fix economic instability... on The Financial Future of Space Travel · · Score: 1

    Those astroids could fix economic stability if we are careful with how to extract it. Currently the US dollar is not based on anything but confidence. If we pulled just enough gold to make out dollar worth gold. That would help tremendously. Additionally, No one in their right mind would "flood" the market with that much gold or any metal over night. However, over a time-elapsed period, you could begin to see the economy expand to the point, where we would have as many trillionares as we currently have billionares.

  14. piracy on a page that uses adsense is against tos on Partial Victory for Perfect 10? · · Score: 1

    I don't see how this is googles fault at all. No this is not yet another robots.txt post. If you pirate some copywritten material AND you are using adwords, iirc that is AGAINST google's policy. Google isn't the only search engine out there, and isn't the only advertising agency out there. Unless perfect 10 is going to target all sites that pirate their material - regardless of who they use to monitize their site, then this is all hypocritical. Google, and others, really should just drop them from their listings. I had never even heard of perfect 10 before this. The site is pretty lame anyway- I agree the fellow who said, "in 2006.. who is stupid enough to pay for jerk off material"- that's a side point. Also, has anyone looked at the terms of service for perfect 10? I was unable to find any such legal documentation - the site is under heavy slashdotting load.

    dude, it clearly says machine in the title. Everyone knows that stories about machines deserve to be on a tech news site, right? /sarcasm off

  16. Re:Political Correction on The Politically Incorrect Science Fair · · Score: 1

    Just because someone says something _unpopular_ doesn't mean there isn't some validity to it. Mod parent up (or atleast not flame).

  18. Re:Well, maybe so... on Airport ID Checks Constitutional · · Score: 1

    The only thing wrong with this, is even if we were to get this explicitly written down. States do not have to uphold the constituion, only the federal government has to. Technically, we already have no rights what so ever- if thats how the state you are in sees it. I would work at the state level, to get this amendment.

  20. I would think that the USA... on Floating Nuclear Power Station · · Score: 1

    I would think that the usa would be all over this project. I don't see how this could be potically good for russia to develop-- if they are just going to sell it off to china as the article suggest. and at $200,000 for a 1/50th the output of a normal Nuclear Powerstation, that is still disturbing. My quetion is, can this thing turn those rods into wepon grade plutonium? Surely, this project is going to be controversial. Also, what are they going to do with the waste. Please don't tell me they are going to drop it in a canister and let the ocean take it from there. The list goes on and on.

    That has to be the most amusing thing I have heard of all day! keep up the good work. This program wouldn't happened to be gpl'd or otherwise osi style license? I would love to be able to add asterisk / other telephony support to something like that. That program has potential- even if it is fairly trivial right now.
