  1. That would sound really good... on A New Kind of Science · · Score: 1

    said with a "I am hans, this is Franz" intonation and accent.

  2. With the talk of on Sanyo Solar Ark and Giant LED Display · · Score: 1

    CrystalFontz and Matrix Orbital serial LCD displays for geeky messaging, I thought this was just another small display, but it's something so completely different, that saying so is almost an understatement.

  3. You should find a better link then to substantiate on McCandlish Retiring · · Score: 1

    your claims then, considering the bad blood between them.

  4. How do we make the mass of society interested. on What's the Business Case for Microsoft and Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Thus the question becomes, "How do we make the mass of society interested in the welfare of humanity" One theory is to develop a technology that creates a sort of human instrumentality.

    This concept is also in Serial Experiments: Lain though not called that.

  5. Tying it to Microsoft's role as a consumer... on What's the Business Case for Microsoft and Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is a consumer of R&D. If Microsoft uses Open Source, it can decrease its R&D expense.

  6. I am posting the above... on What's the Business Case for Microsoft and Open Source? · · Score: 1

    today instead of tomorrow only because my mom got in two wrecks the other day and therefore is at a severe disadvantage to pick me up to go to church as has been her habit...

    One possible theory: There is a God and he doesn't want me going to church today!

  7. Could you explain the process... on What's the Business Case for Microsoft and Open Source? · · Score: 1

    If you are going to post such a statement, you should also post the process to help others... One point for those that believe the Bible is the absolute unconditional Word of God, if the reasoning given for God's confusing their language, that "nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them", we should have been in trouble long ago, what with spaceflight and everything.

  8. Have you actually been to the censorware.org on McCandlish Retiring · · Score: 1

    website... You say that with such certainty... Wait a minute... Your Seth Finkelstein, aren't you?

  9. However... on Pardon, Is This Your File? · · Score: 1

    It can be rewritten several times subsequently.

  10. Funny on What's the Business Case for Microsoft and Open Source? · · Score: 1

    I didn't realize either of us were named GNU. When you contribute to a system and the system gets credited, that doesn't automatically confer a credit to you. At any rate, I don't really care for credit anyways.

    And singlehandedly?

    I have been finding that all too often these people (Linus, RMS, Bill Gates among others) have been giving us fish without teaching us how to fish. That is a serious issue that needs to be addressed.

  11. Really? on What's the Business Case for Microsoft and Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Then why don't you explain his insistence on calling Linux GNU/LINUX

  12. Re:First Jesus Post on Moving towards Mozilla 1.0 · · Score: 1

    And I suppose the 17th angel was dumb too.
    I'm trying to think of other salvation stories. Anyone?

  13. There is such a thing as standard English too... on Spoken Japanese-English translation Using Your PDA · · Score: 1

    No one actually speaks it though.
    There once was a tower called Babel...
    And lets not forget... "It depends on what your meaning of 'is' is."

  14. Where did I say America is bad on Organic Farming Examined · · Score: 1

    There are good things about America and there are bad things about America and I will not limit fighting to the evil in the hearts of terrorists.

    Ephesians 6:12 For we fight not against flesh and blood but against...(the translation here is confused)

  15. That would imply... on Organic Farming Examined · · Score: 1

    that you have no zeal for human life. For it has been my understanding that most religious zealotry has been for a God that the zealot believes ensures the continuance of human life against which all else works against, and I have yet to see a confirmed case otherwise.

  16. You may be confusing... on Organic Farming Examined · · Score: 1

    net human life versus gross. If the terrorists believe that their values once the U.S. is eliminated would result in increased human life, it may justify in their minds the short term loss of life as a result of the attack.

  17. At what point on Organic Farming Examined · · Score: 1

    ...in my statements am I horribly misinformed?

  18. Not related to despotism on Organic Farming Examined · · Score: 1

    So, how much of the world's hunger is not related to despotism, and why if the U.S. values human life as the government claims, isn't anyone sending them food. Or is it that the U.S. as a whole doesn't value human life and the terrorists have a legitimate reason to fight the U.S.

  19. Well then, it would seem... on DARPA Project Babylon: Universal Translator · · Score: 1

    that no one cares for respect anymore, only deference.

  20. I see no reason why... on WiFi & Cellular Unite · · Score: 1

    you shouldn't keep the IP from Cingular.

  21. What part of... on Preventing Broadband Price-Gouging? · · Score: 1

    "The system we have isn't pure capitalism" don't you understand?

  22. If bandwith is so expensive... on Preventing Broadband Price-Gouging? · · Score: 0

    Then how come when I run a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network around my house, it seems so gosh darned cheap?

  23. Forget about Global Warming on Craig Venter Tackles Global Warming · · Score: 1

    What we need is a Human Instrumentality project.
    Google search: "human instrumentality

  24. One way is to provide a gateway between it and .. on Overcoming the Network Effects? · · Score: 1

    other networks. Povide a conduit between it and gnutella and WinMX

  25. William Shatner? on DARPA Project Babylon: Universal Translator · · Score: 1

    They should give William Shatner a beta model out of pure respect

    What's the difference between respect and deference.
