  2. Instead of electric shocks on FDA OKs Brain Pacemaker for Depression · · Score: 1

    How about a tube with drugs flowing directly to to the spot that controls depression.

  6. Re:boost leads to more exploits on The Future of Firefox · · Score: 1

    search dhtml popup in google and look at how many are selling this software.

    It's exploding on the scene. They need popups to survive and they will do anything.

    We need to stop dhtml . Need to strip it or the css before the page is rendered .

    I was going to download that today but now you tell me it doesn't work against dhtml.

    sigh.

  8. Re:boost leads to more exploits on The Future of Firefox · · Score: 1

  10. Re:Trend on The Changing Face of Computer Science · · Score: 1

    The 3rd world countries are targetting the USA .

    They know this countries stupid trade policies favor them and big business.

    We need a real president that believes in real 'equal' trade .

    They can have all the crummy IT jobs if they open up business sectors the USA excels at like oil engineering and industrial plants.

    This website proves that firefox can't block popups.

    I use flash and adblock. It's no use.

    AS long as javascript and dhtml are used we will be screwed.

    Also uninstalled flash.

    Damn crap !

  14. FCC should get out of auctioning our airwaves ! on FCC Chair Says Broadband Top Goal · · Score: 1

    these airwaves belong to us and shouldn't be used to fill government coffers. The airwaves are used for communications which is free speech. Selling it to the highest bidder is not the most efficient use of this spectrum . It only ensures politicians money to play with.

    To get lower more affordable mobile phone prices , we need to get the gov out and have a system based on most efficient usage.

    Right now the metaphor is like the Bells running the internet and charging a high price per min long distance call.

    thanks alot. lol.

  16. Firefox doesn't have as many holes. on The Future of Firefox · · Score: 1

  17. reason on The Future of Firefox · · Score: 1

    only 4 or 5 developers.

  18. I like firefox. Idea - floating dhtml popup ads on The Future of Firefox · · Score: 1

    But one thing I would like developers to add in the code is to turn off 'dhtml' quickly with a button at the top of the screen .

    If you don't know. Most of the popup ads are Macromedia flash or new dynamic html based.

    We need switches at the top to turn them off quickly and not dig through options which can be a hassle.

    Deerfield is good . Not as fast as opera in quick back but pretty good. It still can hang on an ad. Good job there too. I was one of those on bugzilla bugging you guys ! Sorry about that.

    Thanks Firefox developers.

    By the way . I tried digging through the firefox source code and man o man . Anyone have any tips to start when reading all that code ?

  21. Biodiesel uses alot of energy ? on Ethanol More Trouble Than It's Worth? · · Score: 1

    I don't understand that part .

    Why would it ? Oil from plants don't need extra energy . You don't need to crack it.

  22. Diesel through lawnclippings . on Ethanol More Trouble Than It's Worth? · · Score: 1

    Why not diesel ? We have lots of lawn clippings and plastics that get dumped in land fills.

    So why not recycle ?

  23. They need higher pressure. on More Evidence for Tabletop Fusion · · Score: 1

    Just theorizing but it would be interesting to see if they did this experiment in an autoclave or something similar.

  25. How different is UBUNTU compare to million others? on Time for a Linux Consolidation? · · Score: 1

    Debian kenel is a nightmare for hardware support.

    They all seem the same to me.
