  1. As the original founder of India, I find this exci on Linux Taking Over Schools in India · · Score: -1

    exciting. I never thought Linux would be adopted. But it did. This just made my day. Thank You Linus

  2. As the guy who invented USB batteries... on USB Batteries · · Score: -1

    this gives me great pleasure. I thought no one would take notice, but finally someone did. I am so glad. My day is complete.

  3. Article misses the point. on The Myth of the New India · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Does India have its problems? Yes.

    Does India's growth isolate a large portion of it's village dwelling population? Yes

    Does it have internal stability issues? Yes.

    But is it's growth, and the new wealth a step in the right direction? Absolutely Yes.

  4. I think it is good and will work. on ESRB Outlines Publisher Fines · · Score: -1

    Games these days are out of hand. The show nudity, all kinds of violence, and lewd behaviour. Just look at the Grand Theft Auto series. Any good parent would want to protect their children from these social ills. I think this is a good first step in bringing responsibility to game publishers. We need things like these to ensure that family values stay intact.

  5. That's cuz all the simple phones are in...... on Consumers Look For More Utilitarian Cellphones · · Score: -1

    they are in the "Pre-Paid" section. Browse through that section, and there are plenty of cell phone which are only that. No camera, email, pda functions or anything complicated. But pre-paid service is a complete rip off.

  6. As one of the first discoverers of algae.... on Algae May Help Reverse Blindness · · Score: -1, Redundant

    This makes me real glad. These days I don't work on Algaes much, I am focusing more on open source projects. Reading this just made my day.

  7. As one of the first inventors of self parking cars on Self-Parking Cars Coming To U.S. · · Score: -1, Troll

    I am glad to hear this. These days I am not working on self parking cars anymore, but focusing more on open source projects. Reading this just made my day.

  8. As one of the first inventors of screenshots ..... on What Do You Look For In Screenshots? · · Score: 0

    this makes me real glad. Nowadays I am not much involved with screenshots, I am focusing more on open source projects. Reading about screenshots, just made my day.

  9. As one of the original programmers at Microsoft... on Microsoft Subpoenas Thrown out of Court · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    This makes me quite sad. These days I don't work with Microsoft much, I am focusing more on open source projects. Reading news like this makes me sad.

  10. As one of the inventors of Encryption ... on Quasars Used for Encryption · · Score: 0

    This make me real happy. While I am not currently involved with encryption, I am focusing more on open source projects, reading this made my day.

  11. As one of the original inventors of Bluetooth... on Bluetooth Gets a Speed Boost · · Score: 1, Interesting

    This makes me really glad. Now that I am out of the project and focusing more on open source projects, I don't get to read about Bluetooth much. This just made my day.

  12. Install Linux on Dealing With Laptops in a Business Network? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Seriously. Any IT manager worth his salt knows that Linux is infinetly more secure than Windows. Therefore, any IT manager who cares about his network and his job, would only deploy laptops with Linux on them. As far as the users are concerned, if they are too dumb to not learn Linux, they should be fired anyways.

  13. As a long time Debian contributor and developer... on Debian 3.1 (Sarge) Released · · Score: 0

    I would like to thank everyone for their kind words. I remember putting out the very first version of Debian. Boy those were the days. I hope everyone likes what we have created and can further enhance it.

  14. Re:China Crisis on Exporting Knowledge Via Students · · Score: 1, Informative

    Students from Asia like to come to America (or Canada, UK, Australia, etc) for education not just because of the quality, but also to obtain internships, co-ops and perhaps jobs after graduation. Some come here just to experience the American life. Some of them also see this as a way of legally migrating to a Western country and establishing themselves by obtaining jobs after graduation and getting a green card in the process. Even if they don't want to stay here, the Western experience is considered a very good thing for them back home and helps them with their careers. Companies see them as someone with diverse ideas and good experience. Can China offer all that to it's foreign students?

  15. They paid for Windows licenses? on Cuba Switching to Linux · · Score: 0

    So when the Cuban government was running Windows, they were actually paying for all those Windows licenses and software agreements to keep things legit? I find that very hard to believe.

  16. Re:Good to see they did't misspell my name. on Stalking the Wily Analemma · · Score: 0

    No, I did not take a picture during the eclipse. I was having equipment problems.

  17. Good to see they did't misspell my name. on Stalking the Wily Analemma · · Score: -1, Troll

    I thought the world had forgotten about me! As the editor of Sky & Telescope magazine during 1978-79, it was a pleasure to be the first one to take such a photograph. Good to know people are still interested. -D. Cicco.

  18. Re:Speaking as devil's advocate... on Airlines Gave More Data Than Previously Disclosed · · Score: 0

    If it was passed by Congress, then it is most likely legal.

  19. This fact had to be exposed? on Airlines Gave More Data Than Previously Disclosed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's common knowledge that any data that the government wants, it can have. Ofcourse they need a good excuse for it, and I guess the only thing the article exposed was what excuse the govt used.

  20. Equipment used and how to mount? on LA to Oregon at Mach 9 · · Score: 1

    Could someone tell me what equipment was used to capture this? I know the website mentions a cheap Fry's camera, and a VCR, but could someone tell me what camera and how to mount it and connect it back to the VCR.

  21. Re:So it only affects people we don't want flying? on TSA's "CAPPS II" System Prompts Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    What's to say that they are actually a threat? Wouldn't you want to do everything in your power to stop such people?

  22. So it only affects people we don't want flying? on TSA's "CAPPS II" System Prompts Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    So if I understand this correctly, you are only flagged if you are considered suspicious. Isn't that what we all want, stopping suspicious people from getting on planes? I don't see the problem then

  23. Re:My fondest memory on Dot-Com Service Memories? · · Score: 1

    What was esocks.com all about? They sold socks?
