  1. Advancement of Knowledge on Sklyarov Tells U.S. Court, 'I'm no hacker' · · Score: 0

    Possibly one day we will overcome these monetary boundaries and knowledge can be exchanged freely, without cost. After all, who is to deny the freedom of learning, and with our technology and the ability to transfer information, I believe that publishing companies could compromise and allow books to be transferred over the internet. After all, the majority of people will not sit in front of their computers for hours on end just to read a book.

  2. thats not all on Satellite Study Shows Drop In Ocean's Plankton Level · · Score: 0

    although the story is a little old, thats still not all http://www.observer.co.uk/international/story/0,69 03,750783,00.html

  3. Re:Custom built environment manager... on Managing Environment Specific Config Files? · · Score: 0

    the organization i work for currently uses the same concept, using rizz to install the os, with preloaded enviroment variables, then after we know what they may need, we install them specifically for that computer. this doesn't neccessarily make the job much easier, but not having to determine exact settings for each computer is a big help. Since i see probably 20-30 computers a day that i have to work on, it helps tremendously to have preloaded variables, and being able to directly install all of them through a bootdisk, or server makes time that i have to configure things much less.

  4. yet not the first time on China Modifies Weather For 2008 Olympics · · Score: 1, Informative

    "Seems that they have had success as far back as 1987, creating rain to help put out a raging forest fire."
    Yes and as far back as the early 1970's an international law was passed that warring contries could not control each other's weather for the purpose of winning the war.

  5. Re:Oh, geez... on R2D2 Beer Getting Machine · · Score: 0

    "I can see how they invented this one [...] they needed 'that goddamn robot over there' to get the cooler"

    more like "shit dude i just puked all over your floor " "hah!!! 'that goddamn robot over there' will get it"

  6. a good concept, for 5 year olds on Fahrenheit · · Score: 0

    This seems like it would be a good concept for small children, about like reading them a story book where they find the hidden treasure.
    But maybe this concept is too close to Max Payne, and tacking the "noir" comment into the review doubtedly will cause anime fans to go and buy the game.
    Not only that but the 4 month waiting period will probably cause some purchasers to rethink whether they want to finish the "series".

  7. Re:"Editors Are Censoring Nazis" is a very good bo on Best Computer Books For The Smart · · Score: 0

    if you care so much give me an alternative, and if its decent then i will patronize it. And if you do, then live up to all the expectations you want /. to do.

  11. the result of 50 years of sci-fi on Genetically Engineered Big-brained Mice · · Score: 0

    it was only a matter of time before someone finally decided to go with the notion to create some super-animal. First we put ears on them, now we've made them with big brains. Just shows that those guys back in the fifties making the b-grade giant spider movies were onto something. Although this story seems much more familiar to "deep blue sea"

  12. well now on 100-million-year-old Pterosaur Fossil Discovered · · Score: 0

    The crest is covered by a network of grooves that Kellner said represented an extensive system of blood vessels that the pterosaur may have employed to regulate its body temperature -- in this case, cooling off.
    Bennett called this "a reasonable conclusion," but said there is "an awful lot of evidence to suggest that crests were used for sexual display" in other pterosaurs.
    i bet he was popular with the cavewomen

  14. appreciation on Happy Birthday Code Red · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    i dont appreciate the fact that it spread quickly, especially since i had to fix a fucking computer on my network, mainly because it was my moms computer and it was virus loaded, but still, i dont appreciate gay viruses, i appreciate the fact that someone was smart enough to create it, but definitely dont appreciate them putting it out

  18. who would tape it on Time Warner to Allow Digital Recording · · Score: 1

    my question is , in tv today, and any other era of tv, i dont really see what is worth being taped, is there really anything worthwhile on tv nowadays that makes you a smarter, more intelectual, or promotes quality character traits? I dont know about you but the 3/4 of americans tuning in to watch "the real world" doesn't seem to be improving them in any way, but i'm sure that they would program their tv's to record it if they couldn't be home to watch it. Maybe its just me but i think that some technologies are only going to cause more kids to grow up and be worthless tv slobs. Go read a book, make new friends, try something you wouldn't normally try. Its sad that many people spend half their lives watching someone else's idea of how the world is portrayed, without ever actually interacting in it themselves. Those people are only gonna grow up to gawk about how hot that chick on tv was or if they watched the new Cribs episode. Personally i dont like carrying on conversations with people about tv personalities and their houses.

  19. or get rid of spam on Dutch Anti-Spam Ruling Nullified on Appeal · · Score: 1

    or we could just outlaw all spam seeing as it is completely worthless, and targets horny husbands and unknowing beggining internet users, the fact alone that the spycam website xs or whatever is one of the top hits websites right now shows that its not only unwanted, but should be illegal, maybe its me but, the only spam i can remember from a few years back was internet porn coming to your email, that was a pain also, but not near as annoying as spam today

  20. economics of linux on Linux Big Among Chinese Developers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    the chinese seem to be more on the up and up about what they spend their money on, unless its some cheap pokemon thing, so naturally open source would be the better idea, us americans just blow our money on the latest and greatest revised windows that usually sucks anyways
