  7. BSD and LINUX should both be considered on Massachusetts Adopts Open Standards Strategy · · Score: 1

    Linux is getting good publicity now from the grass roots but the BSD people just don't care. So what we learn from this is that people only care about marketting and advertising. And Bsd will never mainstream.

  8. Why hasn't DR. WHO been made into a MOVIE ???????? on Doctor Who Comeback · · Score: 1

    I think it would be perfect for the big screen.

    Patrick Stewart or the actor that played the wizard in lord of the rings would be an excellent Dr. Who.

    What do you all think ?

  9. DR WHO needs to be made into a MOVIE ! on Doctor Who Comeback · · Score: 1

    Can someone tell me why the BBC has not made this incredible series into a movie ?

    And if they do they need to keep it out of AMERICAN producers hands since they would have TOBEY MCGUIRE or LEO cast as the DOCTOR.

  10. Air conditioners on Workweek Causes Climate Changes · · Score: 1

    Heard something that air conditioners working extra duty on the weekend causes more heat in the cities and this is why tornadoes rarely go through there.

  11. I don't want to hear Telemarketers job loss story. on House Votes to Launch Do-Not-Call List · · Score: 1

    Don't let these people try to get your sympathy about job losses. There are deeper problems in this country if telemarketting is the only growth industry.

  12. IBM, LINUX standing up to the fire on SCO's Plan Examined · · Score: 1

  13. Re:The English are so ahead of US in crime prevent on Smartcards to Track London Commuters · · Score: 1



    I dispute your statement. I have seen another

    report that says that it works but criminals move

    to unmonitored areas.Areas that are monitored

    have less crime.

  14. Some explain to me in layman terms what the hell on Linux Kernel Benchmarking: 2.4 vs. 2.6-test · · Score: 1

  15. The English are so ahead of US in crime prevention on Smartcards to Track London Commuters · · Score: 1

    It's not even funny.

    This country has some of the most crime on the

    planet but all you hear from people on slash is

    that 'We don't want big brother watching us' and

    in the next minute you will be asking big brother

    to protect you from terrorists and criminals.

    If something like this were implemented in this

    country and saved lives then those that opposed

    would look like the idiots that opposed the Brady

    Bill gun registration database.

    This country doesn't want to take on crime .

    There could be one more price friendly than pocket pc. Too many to mention here.

  18. Why buy a stupid calculator.....try the future! on Recommendations for RPN Calculators? · · Score: 1

    Get a damn Pda and find a emulator. Calculators are just lower class computers while pda is a fast computer. Don't buy yesterdays garbage. I dont even know why schools are FORCING kids to buy TI calculators when you can find PDAs now for the same price. PDAs are the future.

  19. There was a article on aol today on Socionomics: the Science of History and Social Prediction · · Score: 1

    The article said that the reason we need two incomes instead of one like in the 50's is because of Schooling and housing costs. But there was one comment by a economics professor that said that another reason is the 'cascade effect' That is we want homes like what the rich have. We want to emulate the rich. So if the rich have bigger homes now than in the 50's, we spend more on our homes to be like the rich. We are a copycat society.

  21. Black Boxes could be used to stop crime. on California Protects Black-Box Data Privacy · · Score: 1

    The automobile is the biggest weapon that criminals use in the expanses of the 50 states. The automobile is used to hide victims in trunks and alows safe getaways for criminals. If there is a way to use black boxes for evidence in murders and major burglaries then it should be used.

  22. VOIP question on Free VoIP for Dartmouth Students · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I remember there used to be alot of free internet phone VOIP services on the internet but they have all died out and are now charging money. But my question is how do you get your internet call over regular phone lines ? How is it done ?

  23. Re:Question about efficient use of silicon. on Athlon 64 Debuts · · Score: 1

    i know they translate into risc type instructions but If it didn't need to translate and do all this extra work to make it compatible then you could have alot faster processor.

    Do you agree?

    By the way Tom's Hardware didn't give it a good rating saying Intels processor still beats it.

  24. Question about efficient use of silicon. on Athlon 64 Debuts · · Score: 1

    This chip uses the Intel instructions for it's 64 bits. I have heard over and over that this instruction set is extremely poor and inefficient. The amount of transistors on these chips is amazing. So my question is would this chip be alot faster if they weren't trying to stay compatible with Intel instructions set ?
