  1. Re:And one of those 3 Republican on Gerrymandering Using Census Clustering And GIS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Typo, it should be Newsmax, and that your a rabid wacko is pretty clear. I am suprised your response wasn't in all caps.

    Isn't that your main complaint? Why don't you run back to Newmax and tell them.

  3. There is only one way to fix it on Gerrymandering Using Census Clustering And GIS · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Simple technical solution. Actually a Geometry solution. Make no district with more then 6 corners. Include the borders of a state in that requirement. Make them any size you want but six corners max. Anything else is gerrymandering.

    Count this as a published patent.

  4. I wiped mine the first day on a speaker magnet. on RFID Drivers' Licenses Debated · · Score: 1

    Cali doesn't impress me. I don't want to make it too easy for them. Same with barcodes on the back, a little bit of black pen action and you just ruined somebody's day.

    As to the merit of the RFID tags being bad, there isn't anything about it that's good for the person who's carrying it. If you need to show ID, show it. If they pick it up from the air then that is unreasonable search. Most of the slashdotters are in the US, but I recall Police elsewhere can't just randomly go thru people pockets either. And if the little maggot gets reelected I will be moving to Canada like someone in another thread suggested. And not just because of this sort of foolishness.

  10. New life for UltraLinux as Gamer engines on 64-Bit Gaming Oversold to Consumers · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    UltraLunix i.e. Linux for Ultrasparc 64bit systems has few compelling rationalisms for development. However why wait for AMD and Intel to build 64bit chips when you can build your emulators on a real 64bit chip. Sure it's slower but it is the real deal. SuSE is draging alone based on 7.3, isn't it time linux development refocused? Also a good venture for actual developers as Solaris 10 starts to enter the open source world.

    yes it's a shameless plug from a ultralinux developer.

  11. Your hint should have been the SCO letterhead on Suing Open Source Startups - A New Scam? · · Score: 1

    Means nothing, if they do haul you into court just say the code came from the net as part of what you based it on. But beyond that they need to have a chain of evidence linking your company with theirs or evidence of a break in. If you have employees in common that's one thing. But if you are working in the same space it's easy to spook you into being late to market as you search your site for non-existant data.

  14. Thats a big Myth. on RNC Outsourced Voter Database to India · · Score: 0

    This is a myth. While claims that the parties are identical abound they in fact are not. They alike in much the same way that humans are alike in having heart, lungs and spleens. To be alike they would need to have the same agendas and the same character of people in ultimate charge.

    Unlike the Republicans the Dems tend to be more emotionally driven. Prone to depression and caring about what people want of them. Republicans are more likely to stick with a set of values and habits not care what people said.

    If you need help, ask a Democrat if you want something and you can offer something in return Ask a Republican. If you understand this you will know how to ask each side. The Identical parties myth it intended to keep the rank and file from switching or even voting.

  15. Watergate II? - Balloongate? on Wharton Professor Weighs In On The Elections · · Score: 1

    seems likely. a plot to sabatoage the DNC convention balloons. They have verfied proof of a republican presence in the city. The Republicans are already starting to crack. The old guard is getting sick of the Neo-con faction. They are driving themselves toward a world of spin and no substance. Power politics is not really old school repubican. Honor duty, integitry play well to the rank and file, and that's fading. Peel it back and the most diehard rural Texas republican would vote for Dennis Kucinich before they voted for a fraud like over spun Bush.

  19. Windows XP = VT100 = SUV on Less Might Be More · · Score: 1
    Cheap shot I grant you but reality is that we are in a transision period. Moore's Law not withstanding we are going to reach our critical mass as to number of reasonably useable computers in civilian hands. Demands for more powerful systems is reaching it's peak and even older systems are powerful enough to run modern apps.

    Under my desk is a 2.4ghz and a 500mhz. I can do more useful things with the 500mhz (granted it's a Ultrasparc), but the 2.4ghz is mostly playing games and bloated windows apps like word processing and printing. As an IT 'Professional' I can make the ultrasparc do an amazing amount of work. UNIX/Linux boxen are workhorses/Trucks, they are not geared for the average joe just yet. It's specialized gear, you have to do a lot of work to get it to do basic windows things like play dvds and printing. While they are getting better it's not yet time for the average non-tech to buy a linux box and get everything that microsoft will cram in their system. Currently I am willing to cied the battle to the beast of redmond on that point alone.

    I also have a dual boot laptop runing w2k and SuSE. I ripped out the C compilers and much of the other junk I will never run on that box because it's not needed. If I want to watch a DVD it's windows all the way baby. When I am programming it's in SuSE but the compile gets done elsewhere. Compiling software on a laptop is like hauling dirt in a Alfa. I manage and control from the laptop and the ultrasparc does all the heavy lifting.

    So where do SUVs come into this? That's about choosing the right tool for the jobs. SUVs are a wasteful joke, they are too large use too much gas and are premoting a automotive arms race. In Japan they make you dump your car after so much time/mileage. Because if they don't then nobodys gonna buy the new models. I won't say we will be expecting this when it hits but it will in some form.
