  4. Re:Economic Democracy? on Revolution is not an AOL Keyword* · · Score: 1

    Economic systems are a form of government.

  5. Loan on Are Rebates Scandalous? · · Score: 1

    Just because you can't buy equipment elswhere at a cheaper price, doesn't mean you haven't given them a loan. Anytime you give someone money they are expected to pay back, it's a loan.

  6. The point... on Pennsylvania Refuses to Disclose Banned Website List · · Score: 1

    I think the point might be to keep it from people who want this stuff or who might be turned to this suff.

    Trying to force everyone under your 'leadership' isn't a great way to stop them hating you, you know

    Yes, but once they are under your leadership, you have the best opportunity to stop them from hating you.

  8. They've already covered that on Duke Nukem 3D Source Released to GPL · · Score: 1

    FAQ:How about giving us a reason for rejecting submissions?
    Of course, If they made several reject buttons with reasons, it shouldn't take any more time to reject it.

    Penguin Sausage!

  12. Oh, Geez on Evil Bit Added to TCP/IP Packets · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What's the point of having an evil bit if you don't do something evil with it time and again. I mean, it IS an evil bit after all, what do you expect. It's not every person who knows how to make the most of an evil bit. It's not like it's an evil byte you know, but one of those could come in handy, it's an evil bit, and you simply have to make the most of an evil bit, because it's only so much evil, hardly enough to go around, don't you know.

  13. Re:I have a source of unlimited power on The Museum of Unworkable Devices · · Score: 1

    Linux can too run a (f)ile (s)ystem (c)hec(k) on startup from an improper shutdown. It's done it several times on my machine. it found bad nodes and fixed them. (Of course, Windows, on the other hand, doesn't want to tell you when it's found a problem)

  14. He's mistaken on The Museum of Unworkable Devices · · Score: 1

    There isn't more energy coming out than put in because the "baseline energy" is the energy put in.

  15. Re:Poll: How many of us have tried? on The Museum of Unworkable Devices · · Score: 1

    Energy from the vacuum, that sound a bit like energy from sunlight or wind. Nah, that will never work.

    Why, we come up with even newer things to take care of the unforseen effect, of course. (also with their own attendant uforseen effects)

  17. RTFriendlyKBA on XP Service Pack Slows Programs · · Score: 2, Informative

    This particular fix requires calling Technical support to get. It's even in the Slashdot article!

  18. QuickBASIC on Teaching Programming Skills to Children? · · Score: 1

    QuickBASIC is easy to use and there's less of the problems associated with API's with it. If you don't mind the lack of legality about it, there are copies on the net. QuickBASIC

  19. Quiet PC Article on Off-board/External ATX Power Supplies? · · Score: 2, Informative

    The Screensavers had a recent story on making a quieter machine.

  20. No. on Engineers Create World's First Transparent Transistor · · Score: 1

    And just what's so wrong with brute force?

  24. No, that's not it at all... on Improving Company Morale? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It's just that the same people who cheered when the US/UK armies rolled in, cheered when the Iraqi armies went past too. When people see a bunch of guys with guns, they either fight back or do the best to keep them happy. So it's really hard to tell whether they are happy or not. Ask them again when they are confident that they won't be seeing more armies marching past their door.

  25. Unfixed Nonvunerability IE Bugs on What if Microsoft went Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Clicking back, then hitting refresh destroys the Fwd/back history.
