  1. Re:"Prior art" isn't the only problem... on All 44 Blackboard Patent Claims Invalidated · · Score: 1

    Probably the money they make in the patent business has something to do with it.

  2. Now that Firefox is a business and not a nonprofit on Firefox 4 Will Push Edges of Browser Definition · · Score: 1

    Were any of you drawn to firefox and mozilla because it was open source and non profit?

    Now that it is getting kickbacks from google do you question it's integrity?

  3. Firefox = Money for kid that can't program on Is There Room For a Secure Web Browser? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The kid-Blake Ross that worked(haha, more like cut and paste) on Firefox didn't do much other than reduce mozillas size to create firefox. He really didn't program anything.

    Now firefox is just google's bitch for ad money kickbacks. $10 million dollars a year to him.

    Although ff beta is not bad and has reduced memory usage but still way buggy.

    Oprah is better than regular Firefox and only opensource people with an agenda have been pushing FF because it was viewed as holy,free and not compromising to greedy companies. Not so fast....

  4. Google sucks. Looking for something NEW. on Someday You'll Hate Apple (And Google Too) · · Score: 1

    Their searches are not very good, business pages that deceive you to buy $$$ but say in their google search that they have info or something free . Google is filled with fake pages that lead to google ads

  5. Linux is NOT the answer on The Death of Windows XP · · Score: 1

    Linux is more of a server os.

    Reactos dual booting with Haiku is a better idea.

  6. Get rid of the Auction system on FCC to Investigate D-Block Auction · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Open up the airwaves back to the damn public.

    Allow cheap powerful walkie talkies for the public. The free market will help build public owned towers and we will then have an alternative to government/big business colluding ripoff.

  7. Re:Full sun spectrum?? on A Super-Efficient Light Bulb · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No different than any plasma given off by an Arc welder.

    Hazardous UV. You get quite a sunburn like some welders.

    Not good for the eyes either. All wasted energy too.

  8. Re:Writers need AUTOSAVE on An Early Look at OpenOffice.org 3.0 · · Score: 1

    I did it.

  9. Writers need AUTOSAVE on An Early Look at OpenOffice.org 3.0 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    autosave saves every word written instead of the current time based systems,which saves every few minutes.

    Writers want this. Computers can't be trusted. There are a few times when power supplies fail or computers crash. You don't want to rewrite an important few paragraphs.

    This is great feature which writers would warm to and the word would spread. Microsoft doesn't have it.

    I don't know who to ask at the OO website.

  10. Really disappointed in our Cancer researchers. on Harvard Scientists Aim To Stop Cancer In Its Tracks · · Score: 0

    No real alternative to chemo yet = failure.

    Antibody therapy = failure

    Gene therapy = failure.

    Nanodrugs = failure.

    Our immune systems are interfering in these therapies. Why not put down the immune system and put the patient in a clean room free from germs and then try antibodies & gene therapy?

  11. Re:Parallel Computing is not magic on Wintel, Universities Team On Parallel Programming · · Score: 1

    itanium handles it. Good optimistic thread by you.

  12. Record Companies conspired on prices on $5 Per Month Fee Proposed For Legal Music P2P · · Score: 1

    How about we allow free downloads for all the years of their cospiring to control prices.

    don't forget payola.

    Their fines weren't enough for those illegal criminal profits.

  13. Answer on Drugs In Our Drinking Water · · Score: 4, Informative

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_filtering

    Also informing people that what goes down the toilet goes in your drinking water.

  14. Wikipedia and big Corporate donations on Jimmy Wales Faces Allegations of Corruption · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How can it stay objective with their funding coming from big biz?

    I have noticed all the 'Spam entries' like Chipotle's restaurant.

    When I added a bit on their prices , it was quickly removed.

  15. D&D and Gord Books. Thankyou Gary. on D&D Co-Creator Gary Gygax Has Passed Away · · Score: 1

    You definitely had an imaginative and creative mind.

    I wish i had emailed you to thank you.

  16. Do we have free speech in the USA? on Bank Julius Baer Issues Statement On WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    Seem like lawyers all own us and the system is unbalanced against the average person.

    The lawyers OWN congress.

  17. Re:I think I speak for everyone... on DivX Pulls Plug on Stage6 · · Score: 1

    50's called. They want their missiles back.

  20. I love the internet. Hearst's are dying out on Newspaper Ad Network Shuns Google, Yahoo, MS · · Score: 1

    The old monopolies are dying out.

    This is true freedom and they don't like it.

  21. Re:Please enough already... on Laser Light Re-creates 'Black Holes' in the Lab · · Score: 1

    I totally agree. This hurts NS's credibility.

  22. We need a new internet also on New 'Net Neutrality' Bill Introduced · · Score: -1, Troll

    Our current one is maxed out. It wasn't built for video.

    I think we need business,government and scholars to get the ball moving.

    We need to just scrap the internet and find a new architecture.

  23. Security on Multifunction Printers — The Forgotten Security Risk? · · Score: 1
  24. Parallel to Al-queda but instead espionage. on Space Shuttle Secrets Stolen For China · · Score: 1

    There was that Chinese man that got tried for stealing hbomb nukes on the west coast.

    Not a one time thing. Get smart Gov.

  25. Myspace = Blackguys hitting on white women. on MySpace Private Pictures Leak · · Score: 1

    Alot of Myspace is just people just fishing for friends to sell crap.

    Another negative is people are ONLY allowed to post POSITIVE comments which is stupid and artificial.

    What is cool is that there are some celebs you can badmouth in a private message until they ban you.

    You got to love all the Blacks who hit on white women. It's annoying and gross! Love your own women. They're all single.

    Gross stuff.
