  1. Not interested on Sirius Confirms iPod Satellite Talks · · Score: 2, Funny
    they're NOT doing anything. Why is that newsworthy?

    M$ buys an anti-virus firm and decides NOT to integrate AV technology into Longhorn.

    Now that would be news.

  2. where's the obligatory link to goatse? on Panoramic Photos From The Apollo Missions · · Score: -1

  3. Re:Don't verb adjectives on Scientific American on Quantum Encryption · · Score: 2, Funny

    So what you're saying, basically, is that you can't tap into quantum encryption without destroying the communication/ randomizing the bits in the process and that the nsa isn't THAT far ahead of current public research and that , oh hang on

  4. Re:skill beats might in football on Robot Makers Say World Cup Will Be Theirs By 2050 · · Score: 1
    there's no point in putting machines vs. man on playing football.

    just like there's no point in car vs. man in 100m hurdle or a marathon....

    I see your point, but when automotive technology was in its infancy, I'd imagine that engineers pitched their work in races against horses.

    Robotics is at a similarly early stage, and beating a football team has become a nice yardstick.

  5. open source? on Yahoo Releases Desktop Search Tool Beta · · Score: 5, Interesting
    this isn't meant to be a troll, but has work begun on an open source desktop search tool?

    A quick peek at sourceforge makes me think no.

    Perhaps it's because governments have a long history of doing things inefficiently and ineffectively

    It's the inefficient and ineffective that have a long history of governing.

    A representitive government is worth lobbying.

    How many times have you heard "a 6 year old could have painted that".

All the great works reproduced with no chance of digital fake detection.

    Credit for that goes to the British.

    Yep. They did a great job in Australia too.

  19. Re:Oh Canada! on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1
    I'm getting my financials ready and will be ready to go probably in the summer of 2005.

    The one thing that scares me more than Bush forcing his dumbocracy on other nations is the thought that he is causing large numbers of Americans to emmigrate. Possibly to my country. Scary.

    Let's get one thing perfectly clear, I did not vote for George W Bush, and I do not endorse what he does or says.

    I'm sure every American I meet for the next four years will be saying the same thing.
    To me, this is one step removed from, "But I was only following orders." You are ALL responsible. The time to put this right is not in 4 years, but NOW!
