  1. Breaking the chain on Norwegian Government Expires Microsoft Contract · · Score: 1

    Why not let the people already interested in Linux break the chain. It's not like there aren't any.

  2. Just remove the space Slashdot puts in posts on Seventeen Years of Tetris · · Score: 0, Offtopic
  3. And that's what I want on IPFilter Infriging on Bay Network Patent? · · Score: 1

    to modify down the Moderation of comments that use tt, because they are used in page lengthening attacks.

  4. Which is why you must convert or you will die. on Freeciv-1.13.0 Stable · · Score: 1

    It is not ideas that crush ideals. Only ignorance and indifference do that, and apathy.

  5. When it effects everyone it's moderate, when it's on IPFilter Infriging on Bay Network Patent? · · Score: 1

    personal, it's modify...In preferences: Reason Modifier, People Modifier, Anonymous Modifier

  6. Other filtering on IPFilter Infriging on Bay Network Patent? · · Score: 1

    How would this affect ZoneAlarm and Linksys and D-link routers?

  7. That's because FoxNews is lying to us :( on New Supersonic Jet Test Less Than Successful · · Score: 1

    They are saying the launch was successful. They're only covering it on the air at the moment it appears. I can't find the story on their website...Don't know how many other outlets are misreporting this.

  8. Oh, really? on New Supersonic Jet Test Less Than Successful · · Score: 1

    The fact that they can't even get it together to launch the test seems significant to me,

    It's not like it's their final prototype or anything, just a 1:10 scale model...Though why this wouldn't be uncovered in the computer sims, experience or no, I don't know...perhaps all computer sims are neglecting to model something? There was that failed American test, after all.

  9. Ever heard of electric stoves? on China: the New Global High-Tech Power · · Score: 1

    Washing fish. while a little heplful. isn't very, because the fish is likely contaminated through and through. You do gut it before eating it? *remembers a Slayers episode where it finally dawns on Lina that the worm she used as bait was in the fish's stomach*

  10. Are you sure you were middle class... on China: the New Global High-Tech Power · · Score: 1

    If so, that's a very strange definition. People like to believe they are middle class when they're not though...What do you need a propane tank for anyways?

  11. If other countries produced as much food per... on China: the New Global High-Tech Power · · Score: 1

    acreage per person as America does, they could be FAT too.

  12. Re:China is lo-tech on China: the New Global High-Tech Power · · Score: 1

    do not post while stupid

    only problem with that is that if everyone followed that advice, there would be no Slashdot, and no Internet. All the smart people have clandestinely fled to another planet, preferibly in another Galaxy, bucause they could...and anyone who can't is obviously stupid in comparison... so everyone is stupid.

  13. Don't worry... on China: the New Global High-Tech Power · · Score: 1

    a GDP appears to be an easy thing to change

  14. Re:Breeders on China: the New Global High-Tech Power · · Score: 1

    Please consult dictionary.com before making posts like these...Reproduce and breed have much the same meaning, unless you mean the Chinese don't have photocopiers.

  15. Completely down the toilet? on China: the New Global High-Tech Power · · Score: 1

    What an interesting euphemism...I seem to understand it destablized, but it was nothing compared to the Great Depression.

  16. The concept of economic growth is flawed. on China: the New Global High-Tech Power · · Score: 1

    If you have 100% of the population working but the monetary value of that work doubles, that appears to be what is called 'economic growth'...but it makes no sense.

  17. Still there? on China: the New Global High-Tech Power · · Score: 1

    Perhaps in name only. Their unification with Britain, in so much as it was a true unification, was for the most part, a good thing. However a good portion of that union appears to be either dictatorial or mere lip service, which is not a true union at all. Independent countries only serve to cause conflict. It's natural that when more than one person is involved, the second will be a potential source of conflict. In order to eliminate this we must become unified as one.

  18. Selling capacity... on Last Mile, High Speed Help for Upper Michigan? · · Score: 1

    Once you get it, sell your capacity to other networks, and make capacity trading deals. Don't try to skimp by allowing a single point of failure. Make sure that if trees are to be removed who gets the rights to the timber.

  19. Don't watch Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis? on Metropolis Reconstructed · · Score: 1

    Why, do you think it's inconceivable that someone could like both?

  20. Why do you think it is, that most of us are... on Harvesting Capacitors for Backyard Munitions · · Score: 1

    Why do you think it is, that most of us are illiterate? So that the government can trample on the constitution of course? You'd think the most important thing they could teach in school is what our 'rights' are. Do they? NO!... I'm not entirely sure I know what a right is. In my Windows Professional Certification course, we learn there are two kinds of rights: Logon rights and privileges... and I had thought that privileges were separate from rights.

  21. How flawed is YOUR observation? on Video Games Found To Decrease Brain Activity · · Score: 1

    I used to watch my nephew be unable to talk properly...

    Unable to talk properly? In what way? Is it an inability or a decision? And what basis are you using for "talking properly"?

  22. Re:So, how important is bandwidth? on Net-Nexus Seoul · · Score: 1

    High schools heavily discourage flirting, chatting and touching (at least in Japan, probably in Korea as well) and most single adults live with their parents. Korea? Japan? Both of these seem pretty prevalent in the U.S. The former more than the latter, though.

  23. Communications? on Net-Nexus Seoul · · Score: 1

    Without Cable? I don't really know about the state of any of them in the UK but it appears that you've accepted the premise of non-cable-ready apartments in the UK... So what gives?

  24. The Bible... on Italian Police Censor "Blasphemous" Websites · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know where I can get something that perports to be a translated verion of a pre-Nicean copy.

  25. Proof that God exists on Italian Police Censor "Blasphemous" Websites · · Score: 1

    You must not be looking too hard Survival of the fittest itself is evidence of something deserving the title of 'God', though not conclusive, for something must cause a determination of fitness to be formed, and that cause could very well be considered 'God'.
    In considering whether God exists, first a determination of what qualities need to be met to have the title of God.
    Only then can a determination be made as to whether something exists deserving that title.
    At any rate survival of the fittest would seem to be evidence that leads to the possibility of the existance of God, but not to that of the existance of pink flying elephants, so look harder.
