  1. Six Six Six on Students Tracked By RFID · · Score: -1

    The number of the beast.
    The one for you and me.

  2. I'm sorry, on Opera Facing Losses While Firefox Usage Grows · · Score: 1
    But I'll have to dissagree with you. I was a former Opera user and find that Firefox really is a much better browser... plus it's free.

    And yes, all the problem you described are not really problems... you just have to know about "about:config".

    Firefox is mean and lean, so things like interfaces for every modifiable setting were left out.

    So, yeah, I guess if you don't want to put 5 minutes of effort to tweak Firefox to your liking, go ahead and use Opera.

  3. The progression... on Opera Facing Losses While Firefox Usage Grows · · Score: 1
    First I used IE
    Then I used Opera
    Now I use Firefox

    Opera is uglier and quirkier than Firefox. IE just plain sucks because of popup hell. Why would anybody use anything other than Firefox these days?

  4. News to me on Microsoft Says Firefox Not a Threat to IE · · Score: 1

    I've been a firefox user since the times it was called phoenix. I've never had a problem with rendering slashdot... what gives?

  5. NO IT jobs in eastern Canada either on Techies Migrate in Search of Work · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Your link talks about new jobs, but those jobs are in services and labour, not IT!

    The only places in eastern Canada to come for IT work are Toronto, Ottawa, or the Waterloo area, all in Ontario. But forget it, nobody is really hiring.

    So which oil company is funding this site? Or does the site owner have an invested interest in oil stocks?

    The following is a bit from a real scientist:

    Richard Alley discovered something 10 years ago that made him worry the Earth's climate could suddenly shift, and it changed his life. It was a two-mile long ice core, pulled up from the center of Greenland. It contained bubbles of air that reveal what the Earth's atmosphere was like over a period of 100,000 years. The ice core showed that at one point, in as little as 10 years, the global climate had drastically changed. Soon after that discovery, climate change became a personal crusade for Alley.

  8. volcanos are a fraction of it on U.S. Continues Opposition to Kyoto Environmental Treaty · · Score: 1
    Cars/trucks, etc... put a lot, a huge amount, more pollution into the atmosphere every year than all the volcanos in the world.

    Volcanos have always been around. The earth is a self-contain system and when we mess up that system, bad things happen.

    synaptic, you have been dumbed down by conservative-think

    Me and my wife are both university graduates. I work as a programmer (although currently self-employed) and my wife is a highschool teacher. We are in our thirties. We have a family. We should be really well off... but we are not. We are examples of the gradual elimination of the middle-class.

    I forgot, global warming will only flood the coastal cities because of the above-land ice that melts and also cause massive weather disruptions around the world. No biggie. Oh, and don't forget about the slew of new diseases and plagues because of higher temps.. and desertification... and, well, still no biggie. We'll just all move to greenland!

    Canada has agreed with the Kyoto protocal and we are not worried about it eliminating jobs... because for any that get eliminated, 2 more will take it's place.

    So, the deal actually is:

    You want to save the environment
    or
    You believe the conservative BS about Kyoto and job losses.

    You anti-environmentalists have been defeated with science, now go away and stop pulling crap out of your ass.

  17. poor will invest dirt or what? on U.S. Continues Opposition to Kyoto Environmental Treaty · · Score: 2, Informative
    >I sware, you make it sound like only the "Rich" can invest. You miss the point, only the rich can invest because they're are the only ones that can afford to. I work and my wife works. We don't have a great car (and only 1), we don't have a great computer, we don't have any hi-tech gadgets, we have only a 19" television, yet we are still in debt. You see, most poeple in north american can't afford to buy stocks and wait for them to make money.

    So, only the rich can afford to invest.
