  1. What happens when the enemy gets a hold of them? on Bio-Weapons That Eat Ammunition and Fuel · · Score: 1

    The smart enemy you would get a hold of these insects or whatever, reproduce them, and terrorize the American industry and infrastructure with it. This sounds as dumb of an idea as releasing the Ebola virus on your enemy.

  2. Re:Environmentalist's dream? on Bio-Weapons That Eat Ammunition and Fuel · · Score: 1

    A serious meltdown can in fact cause irreparable harm to the earth. In fact, it is possible for molten fuel and other materials to fracture the earth for a quarter of a mile in all directions, thus rendering land within 200 miles uninhabitable for 10000+ years. Personally, I'd move as far as I could...I wouldn't be comfortable living 200 miles away from nuclear facility the had a melt down.

  3. Re:Has anyone tried it? on Transgaming and Transitive E3 Announcement · · Score: 1

    You can run it on OpenGL mode right? How does the whole thing work? Installation wise i mean.

    Wow...I haven't been following Linux gaming for a while and to tell you the truth I'm surprised to find out that the darn thing is up and running on Linux already.

    Thanks for the info guys.

    Has anyone tried the darn thing yet? How is the performance? Will we see counter-strike on Linux soon? What about DirectX issue...I'm sure Microsoft isn't going to be too pleased to see DirectX on Linux.

  6. Re:The Navy Loves Windows NT! on Microsoft Battles Free Software at Pentagon · · Score: 1

    The Navy Research Facility is currently outfitting navy vessels with Linux powered communication and guidance satellite systems with all the eye candy you could imagine. Microsoft lost a whole lot of business with it constant, almost never-ending, debacles. And you know all those old Unix lovers jumped ship as soon as they could.

  7. Re:Nothing like drumming up business for yourself on Microsoft Battles Free Software at Pentagon · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I had the pleasure of being taught by a Mitre employee as well as visiting one of their offices. They have a lot of intelligent people over their...I was amazed at how many of they employees had doctoral degree. It was like meet Dr. blah, Dr. yaho, Dr. joe. All day long. I highly doubt they are starving for contracts as they do a lot of work for NASA, Air Force as well as the NAVY.

  8. Thanks to Linux i got a Job working for the Navy on Microsoft Battles Free Software at Pentagon · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is laughable! The Navy Research Laboratory recruited me because of my expertise in Linux and QT to work on a hush hush program. They needed stable and powerful platform that can handle the job. It took them 3 months but they finally settle on Linux. Why in gods name would they switch to a Microsoft platform now? Microsoft is becoming really desperate...I say to them go fix you highly touted windows 2000 or whatever you want to call it because it too crash, daily I might add. People don't like to see desperation, maybe because desperate people tend to rationalize irrational things, and Microsoft reeks of desperation.
