  1. Funny. on Former Intel Engineer Pleads Guilty To Taliban Aid · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Funny how Fox News fails to mention that he worked for Intel. Kind of like how it is funny they neglect to mention the SCO problem.

  2. Re:not true on Nintendo Profits Up Amid GameCube Worries · · Score: 1

    You raving mad consumer, you.

  3. Re:Wtf? on SCO "Disappointed" by Red Hat Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Sco doesn't care if its action is conducive to the long-term survivability of Linux, but Red Hat does, so SCO thinks that telling Red Hat this might have it thinking about backing off.

  4. Re:chicken before the egg? on The Not-Quite-Human Rights Movement · · Score: 1

    Not when legislation can be an obstacle to it becoming widespread.

  5. Re:please use the correct terms on SCO Awarded UNIX Copyright Regs, McBride Interview · · Score: 1

    Roosters are chickens. Female chickens are hens.

  6. Relevant link. on Build Engine Guru Interviewed · · Score: 3, Informative

    http://doomencyclo.free.fr/e_interviews_kensilv.ht m
    Also, It's too bad PICROT isn't available for download. Did a google search that turned up the above link, but no PICROT download.

  7. I'm confused... on Statistical Analysis of Copyright Registrations · · Score: 2, Interesting

    extending and strengthening copyright terms has little effect on actual innovation. Perhaps most fascinating is the strong 40-year upward trend in registrations which is sharply broken in 1991 with a precipitous decline.
    Does that precipitous decline correlate with copyright extensions. Were you being sarcastic when you said extending and strengthening copyright terms has little effect on actual innovation. What am I missing here?

  8. Versions on Security Update Fixes the Screen Effects Hole · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Anybody have any idea what files this updates and what version it updates those files to?

  9. Technology issues. on Howard Dean to Guest Blog for Lawrence Lessig · · Score: 1

    Why has he been so closed lipped on technology issues. You can't find anything on his position on his site.

  10. Prevention on MS Message Security Flaw Explained · · Score: 1

    How hard and how crippling would it be to disallow non-privileged apps from sending to priviliged apps. That shoud fix the problem. And if for some reason two apps accross the boundary need to talk to each other, it could be designed to let the administrator link their message queues.

  11. The episode on "Augmented Reality" For the Assembly Line · · Score: 1
  12. Re:When things go wrong.... on "Augmented Reality" For the Assembly Line · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of the Stargate SG-1 episode that just aired, and it's scary how much of society is like that.

  13. Re:Can't have it both ways... on Washington State Site Revealing Police Data Ruled OK · · Score: 1

    How is having public information on some people having it both ways and why can't you have it that way?

  14. Player's turn on Teaching Novices Board Games.. Properly · · Score: 1

    A player's turn ends when he decides he doesn't want to attack another country and has completed the fortification stage, in which the player can move all but one army from one and only one country to one and only one other country About.com: Risk Rules

  15. Quality on Digital Domesday Defies Doom · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...re-digitised from the original analog films at a higher resolution than the laserdiscs contained.

    That's great as long as the film hasn't degraded to worse than the quality of the laserdisc images and the resolution is there to begin with.

  16. Re:what are they doing it for? on Apple Store Fans Camp Out for 24 Hours · · Score: 1

    It's for the store's grand opening.

  17. Re:Had to be said on Patent Granted for Ethical AI · · Score: 1

    the word good ALWAYS refers to actions that involve "one party making a willing sacrifice for the benefit of a worthy second party."

    No, it doesn't

  18. Why, yes. on ESPN Football's Bizarre Viral Marketing? · · Score: 1

    and by the way, SCO's doing that lawsuit thing for the money.

  19. Re:Read history. on "Quick 'n Dirty" vs. "Correct and Proper"? · · Score: 1

    But what difference does that make?

  20. That's because on Last 2.5.x Linux Kernel Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    you're not an anticipatory scheduler.

  21. Frequencies on How Reliable is 900Mhz Wireless Internet? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Any frequency is just as secure as any other. It depends on the protocols that run over it.

  22. I love this. on "Quick 'n Dirty" vs. "Correct and Proper"? · · Score: 1

    It seems to maintain that there is only one type of freedom. Anyone who has no medical care wants free medical care even if it's 1954 level medicine. Money controls what people do. If you don't have money then you can't do certain things. I go, if only we controlled people my way people would have different freedoms. Now who wants to be free to go to an amusement park with 1954 level rides?

  23. Re:Read history. on "Quick 'n Dirty" vs. "Correct and Proper"? · · Score: 1

    What's the differece between feudalism and communism?

  24. But why didn't it work. on "Quick 'n Dirty" vs. "Correct and Proper"? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I don't know why people just assume that because one implementation didn't work, every variation on that implementation won't work. As it was, however, the Soviet Union did not get rid of money.

  25. Free Energy Site Directory... on What if Energy was (Nearly) Free? · · Score: 1
