  1. Idea for a wristwatch cell phone on Seven-Ounce Linux 'Wrist PC' · · Score: 1

    If you put your left thumb and pointer finger together and hold them up to your ear hole, you will notice that your mouth is right at your wrist (where a watch band would be).

    I suggest putting a microphone on the inside part of the watch and then put a pull-string earpiece that you hold in your ear with your thumb and pointer finger.

    This is the ultimate ergonomic wrist watch cell phone. It doesnt exist yet, but I am sure that it will now that I have spilled my beans!

  2. Re:What about clip-art, etc !? on MS Thinks OOo is 10 Years Behind · · Score: 1

    dont forget the kick ass 3000+ template collection that is up on Microsofts Office website... there is good stuff up there.

  3. styrofoam is the most efficient recyclable on Bacteria Eat Styrofoam · · Score: 1

    I read somewhere that when you burn it as fuel, styrofoam returns 90% of the energy that was used to create it. That is a pretty efficient recyclable if you ask me. You cant recycle the raw material but you sure can recycle the energy.

  4. Re:Harry Potter was copied from Feist and LeGuin on Da Vinci Code Author Sued · · Score: 1

    well, i meant the theme that "a yound kid in a wizard school, who has a friend that hangs out with him, who is modest in his power, and then achieves being the ultimate magician, and that a revelation foretold it all."

  5. Harry Potter was copied from Feist and LeGuin on Da Vinci Code Author Sued · · Score: 1

    The ideas in the Harry Potter books were basically stolen from Ursala LeGuin's "Wizard Of Earthsea" and Raymond E. Feists "Magician" .

  6. it will never happen on US Lawmakers to Keep Google Out of China? · · Score: 1

    it will not last long. the men who control the International Monetary Fund will be using Google and various other technologies as bargaining chips to establish control over the Chinese money supply. If you think politicians control these things, then think again.

  7. buy a new keyboard every couple months on Keyboards Are Disgusting · · Score: 1

    Keyboards are nearly impossible to clean. I basically buy a new $7 keyboard (currently using an Inland)

  8. a "remake" earns "show of the year"? how? on Time Names Battlestar Galactica Show Of The Year · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Its a pretty sad world when everything which is successful is just a remake of something that was done before: Battlestar Gallactice, Lion, the Witch, and The Warddrobe, The Office (a.l.a. office space), King Kong, etc.

    I still think the true winner because of originality are of 2003 was "24". For 2004, it was "Lost", and this year it was certainly not Battlestar.

  9. Re:This is what they want you to believe on Colds May Trigger Childhood Cancers · · Score: 1

    what I meant was that companies that make chemicals do not want you to believe that chemicals are the ONLY problem. whether or not its true or not, because nobody really knows, they want you to believe that cancer is caused by a "shared" set of influences. the last thing they want is for someone to prove something like "80% of cancer is caused by chemicals".

    i think its far more likely that there is one particular chemical in our environment that is causing greater than 50% of cancers. it could be something as simple as a common preservative in junk food. it could be crt televisions. it could be a certain chemical in the water. it could be cold medicine.

    maybe its something that everyone is exposed to but nobody yet has identified it.

    its best to assume all possibilities rather than pidgeon hole yourself into a few.

  10. Re:Not the cause, but the effect on Colds May Trigger Childhood Cancers · · Score: 1

    thats a very good point. you would make a great researcher. its funny that you are the first person to notice this. you would think that someone would mention this in the research article that Slashdot referred to.

  11. This is what they want you to believe on Colds May Trigger Childhood Cancers · · Score: 0, Troll

    Of course they want you to believe that cancer is caused by something that cannot be controlled (namely Cancer). I am sure there are powers that be which would pay a lot of money for research such as this, which leads people to believe that cancer is truly uncontrollable.

    The only thing we know for sure is that cancer is more and more common every decade. Do colds cause it? Does radiation cause it? Do chemicals cause it?

    One thing is for sure, if chemicals or radiation are causing cancers there are people who do not want you to find out.

  12. Re:Smart people? on A Recipe for Newspaper Survival in the Internet Age · · Score: 1

    i completely agree with that one. very true.

  13. OSM are a bunch of Chicken poo if you ask me on 'Open Source Media' vs 'Open Source Media, Inc' · · Score: 1

    Ok, so I had an open mind and I thought "ok, I bet Open Source Media would HAVE TO BE fair and balanced!". I just went to the site and the first thing I notice is that EVERY article on the whole site protects the authors with blanket statements such as "Credit: The Orlando Sentinel, Fla." or "compiled by staff at SO-AND-SO NEWSPAPER". As a matter of fact, when people post stories to this site they are given credit at the top of the story as the poster when in fact they PLEIDGERIZED the story from an actual news source.

    If you ask me, this is all a bunch of chicken #*($&# because its too hard to find references for factual evidence on the site. All that I see here is a OSM.org site dedicated to smokescreening actual information.

    Im serious here, I don't mean this as flamebait please.

  14. Re:Good old PCP on Scientists Produce Fearless Mice · · Score: 1

    hey, did you notice the scene in that movie Jarhead where they are forcing soldiers to take a pill... JEEEZ... thats just the reason why I would never serve in the military since they will duck you into a no-escape situation.

  15. Re:New Overlords Welcoming time? on The Microsoft Singularity · · Score: 1

    well, if they are trying to develop a black hole from which nobody can escape, they have already done it!

  16. games should hire their own theme bands on Game Businesses Can Learn From Touring Bands · · Score: 2, Interesting

    screw that, game developers should hire their own band to write songs and go on tour under the name of the game... and the game developer can supply costumes and stuff. people would love it!

  17. Online magazines need "commenting" enabled on How Should News Magazines Make the Jump Online? · · Score: 1

    I think that any magazine who publishes articles and does not allow people to publicly make comments on those articles should fail. My favorite major news site is Yahoo News because it allows commenting.

    I would love to see a site have a pretty magazine and then have a "commmenting area" where you can read all the comments, in the same way that some magazines today have a few pages of comments at the beginning of the magazine that talk about last weeks articles.

    Magazines need this method of creating trust with the reader. On the internet, trust is the number #1 issue I think.

  18. should we be policed by our own property? on Intel Stands Up For Consumers in Next-gen DVD War · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    the answer to this is that "nobody ever said that it was against the law to 'partially' sell property or rights to property. If they want to sell the viewing rights to a movie without selling you the right to copy, then they have every right to do so.

    this is a free country for sellers as well as buyers. dont forget that.

    the last thing Apple wants is for the Open source community to go crazy on OS-X and make an OS-11 before Apple has a chance to even release computers running X-86 hardware...

    sorry, between the time the article was posted and now, the site with the news article was being slashdotted and I couldn't read it. now that I can read it, I see what you are saying.

    sweet... ill try it this weekend and see what I come up with... i remember booting Debian on a Macintosh back in 1995... that was fun...

  23. make me a VMWare image and I will believe it on More Mac OS X on Plain Old x86 Boxes · · Score: 1, Interesting

    If someone can make a simple VMWare i386 image that has OSX installed on it, THEN I will believe this.

    If its true, let them make the VMWare image and then I will download it and look.

  24. Re:Vega on Hackers Forced Announcement of 10th Planet Find · · Score: 1

    Without a doubt, the planet should be named "PLanet X" (because of the roman numeral 10 )

    If its named anything else, i will be disappointed since it has been called this for years already.
