  1. Re:We need to fight these tax laws on IRS May Ask eBay To Snitch On Sellers · · Score: 1

    nonsense, the IRS is a legal government agency. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRS Don't get mad at the IRS, get mad at the U.S. government who formed it and the Congress who makes federal tax code.

    The ancient Britons got Windows 1.0 running on Stonehenge, but it crashed and that's why some of the stones are toppled today.

    you must think the actions of the corrupt lying thieving murdering dirtbags we call our government officials and police are somehow much superior

  7. Re:Shades of MicroSuse. on Canonical and Linspire Make a Deal · · Score: 2, Informative

    you can change the default sudo privileges if that bothers you. Compile apps from source or bring in ones from other distros (alien, etc.) if ubuntu doesn't have package. Compile custom kernels if that floats your boat. Add another runlevel to the two-step one. What exactly can't be tweaked in Ubuntu that some other Linux distro allows? I threw my SuSE in the garbage can a few months back, and Kubuntu isn't lacking anything, nor is anything not tweakable.

  8. Re:Lookup in the Sky on A New Twist On Skywriting · · Score: 1

    I was speaking of the same people who influence the purchase of corporate jets, this is just a little awareness stunt. the cost for the "ad" was tiny compared to the profit from one sale. Gulfstream only need link to image in some online aviation rag

    no, that flight plan will stand out in a number of systems, many of those for serious aviation. That FlightPath resource isn't obscure, I've friends in aviation who use it daily.

    sorry, but I looked for and saw the cat, and the integrated complex conjugate of its mortality probability density function collapsed to the definitely long dead, rotten and stinky state.

  13. Re:MAxwell's Demon using lasers and cold atoms on Maxwell's Demon Soon A Reality? · · Score: 1

    but that's not really a case of Maxwell's Demon, since energy input is needed. There's any number of ways to get cold seperated from hot, but they all require energy. Maxwell's demon provides free (no cost) energy for perpetual motion by using the heat differential generated by the demon to run a heat engine. Of course, this has been proven impossible so many ways, with classically and quantum dynamically and even via information thermodynamic.

  14. Re:Open Source Alternative to Exchange? on 10 Years of Pushing For Linux — and Giving Up · · Score: 1

    from the point of view of bulleted list points most of what exchange / outlook does is unnecessary bloat. And the bilions of dollars in downtime/lost productivity because of virus/trojan/logic bomb issues, do you count that as a feature you want to replicate? I sure like gmail that gives me calendar and email and 2.8GB of storage for $0.

  16. Re:The Federal income tax is unconstitutional on The Taxman's Web Spider Cometh · · Score: 1

    Great link, Evans does very well with the Income Tax amendment issues. on an unrelated note, too bad his Federal Reserve section totally ignores the truth of the history of international banking and the economics of the national debt.

  17. Re:Hmmm on Scientists Map the Human Metabolome · · Score: 2, Interesting

    you go for a blood test and your doctor gets a list of maybe the levels of about 48 chemicals. Wouldn't it be better to know what hundreds of others chemicals presence and concentration in the blood should be and what they mean? (the answer is Heck Yes!). This data will also apply to other sampling tests from the body, whether hair or saliva or urine or semen, it will aid diagnosis.

    no reasonable expectation of privacy if you store your personal data in company file cabinet or on a company laptop, or in company email or in the company voicemail, for that matter. Why all the people replying to her story think this is a matter of privacy, constitutional rights and flag waving is beyond me.

    You're our hero, as a slashdotter you've transcended to the next higher level. Not only did you not RTFA, you didn't even read the summary, that little bit about the heat radiators being pointed at the sun so the craft was cooked. I'm hoping you don't read the last part of the last sentence, maybe you'll achieve slash-enlightenment and be our Slashbuddha.

  25. Re:Article summary wrong (surprise) on Gilmore Loses Airport ID Case · · Score: 1

    assuming a suicidal whackjob having device with hundreds of projectiles, why is accuracy needed? It takes time to aim a firearm that accurately (and it's impossible with auto rapid fire weapon to do one round per person), increasing chances our hypothetical evil perp would be stopped before completion of his mission from Allah or gawd or whatever invisible friend talks to him
