  1. Re:Simple on The Economics of Executing Virus Writers · · Score: 2, Informative

    Have you ever been to prison? I have been to jail a few times. Troubled youth, you know how it is. I never had anyproblems in jail. I am not saying that no one does, but from what I have seen for the most part they don't. Most people in jail just want to do their time and leave. And the more money you have the less likely you are going to a bad prison. You goto a minimum security prson where it is very easy. You watch cable all day get computer time and even can run your business sometimes. You watch to much tv. I am not saying bad things don't happen in jail, just depends on where you are and your situation.

    then you should get the money and then donate it to the local school system that is the only way they are going to see the money to start with. At least this way it will go to something useful instead of a bunch of free crappy software they are going to be forced to pay to upgrade.

  15. Re:Stem Cells on Brain's Cache Memory Found · · Score: 2, Interesting

    But some people do get better at reaasoning when they get older and memory can be trained to get better. I think that it totally depends on environment. I think that if this place can be stimulated then it can grow just as it has been shown that the brain can grow neurons. For years it was assumed that when neurons were lost in the brain due to damage that they can't grow back. But there has been some big news lately in the role of glial cells and how they interact also. It was assumed that they were essentially just a glue in the brain but now they have found evidence that they also play a big role in memory.We are finding more and more stuff daily upgrades to the brain may be closer than we all realize.

  16. University of Maine on Intel Ranks Colleges with Best Wireless Access · · Score: 1

    Didn't make it. I can use wireless in all my classes and it is expanding very quickly. They didn't make the list though:( It does make it hard to pay attention at times though. I can access all my notes and it does make it much easier at times to keep up in class also. I couldn't live without my laptop even if there wasn't wireless.

  18. Re:"Is Linux ready for the desktop?", part 7549245 on KDE 3.2: A User's Perspective · · Score: 1

    I have my kids computer set up with linux and they don't have any problems at all. They get upset sometimes when they can't install some cutsie windows program but I have never had to do anything to actually fix the os for them. They have no problem using it even though they have never used or seen linux before they moved in with me. (They are my nephew and neice.) Neither one has any aptitude for computers and both have trouble in school becuase of issues before I got them. They use windows in school all teh time so linux is not their only OS. On the other hand my wife has a windows box that I have to constantly work on because of how easy windows will install things. When a new virus or script comes out if the anti virus doesn't come out with an update soon enough I am stuck working on that. I admit I don't get a lot of problems with it just the occasional but it can be a pain in the butt at times.

    More like what about the animals that are eating it?

    thing is it isn't jusst clicking on an executable. Many times all you have to do is to open the email and outlook express will happily run the scripts contained in it. Now if outlook express would 1. not open email by default, 2. not run scripts by default, that would stop more of the recent virus problems.
