  1. What are you talking about!?!? on A Look at Photonic Clocking · · Score: 2, Funny
    Black hole clocking would be WAY more affordable. You get data processed before it's even fabricated! Think of the advantages in CS! Lastly, in the case that black holes let you go back in time, then we will already have black-hole processors!!

    AMD will also sue Intel now, in fear that the last part comes true.

  2. Sadly... on Dell Releases First Consumer Product with Mandriva · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Sadly I don't think the availability of Linux systems that is holding the average consumer or business person from buying one. If the IT guy of a company wants the employees to have Linux, they get Linux - no matter how easy or hard it is made.

    then the average consumer... of course "line-ux?"

  3. My laptop w/Pro is just fine... on Reducing The Negative Impact of Laptops · · Score: 1
    except sometimes the mouse moves by itself and does weird things with my computer. but all i have to do is restart it and things are better.

    oh, thats not even a result of it being a laptop, thats just XP pro...

  4. Range doesn't have to be HUGE... on Canada-Wide Wireless Broadband Network Planned · · Score: 1

    2/3 of the Canadian population lives within 30 miles of the U.S. border. That's a pretty large concentration making it easy to supply the Wi-Fi. There definitely aren't as many farms as Nebraska - but there certainly are a ton of log cabins. People in log cabins must not count as people - otherwise the costs would be much more than $200 mil to get the country setup... slash-for-thought

  5. i agree with him on Dell CIO Says "Unix is Dead" · · Score: 1

    Specifically, he talked about the savings he claims in moving Dell's Oracle databases from Solaris to Red Hat.

    If I had a company using Red Hat or Solaris, i would want them to die out too.

    In related news: Sandra Day O'Connor's son, John O'Conner was nearly killed by a robot from the future beacuse of reasons unbeknownst to us at this time.

  9. The Internet has given spam a bad name on A Conference About Spam · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    ill probably get mod'ed offtopic for this...

    Ever since the internet came along spam has been a problem. People hate spam now.

    i live in Minnesota where 1. we live in iglo's 2. there is no cable or dsl 3. Spam capital of the world.

    I'm speaking of the food of course! Spam has been pretty popular here the last 20 years. You wouldn't believe all of the people that wear spam shirts... although those people go to the salvation army for their shirts its still nonetheless overwhelming!

  10. Even God can't answer all the questions on Did Life Originate Underwater? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I just have a few questions for you religious-types.

    Where did God come from? He cannot just always "be" if he was, then whats saying that the universe isn't always just "there".

    With what did he create the universe? Everybody knows that you can't get something from nothing. Even if there is a God, there is no way he/she could just make matter, it's as absurd as me stomping on the ground and saying that I just destroyed matter.

    I know that neither creationism nor evolutionism can exaplian the basic questions that i have just asked, I was simply trying to inform religious-types that God does not have all the answers, nor does he exist.

    I have other questions such as "Why is America clearly a Christian country despite its constition?"

    basically, i look at the belief of God as just a guide to how people should live their lives, and the claim that he/she created us all just so you will follow the commandments.

  11. Let Them Decide on Moving Your Kids to Linux? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In my opinion, forcing them onto Linux is just the wrong way to go. You need to keep them open to Windows and Linux.

    I think its amazing that some /. parentals have been doing things like taking away internet if they boot windoze. Let the kids use Windows for now, because we all know that they have no use nor the care about the litlle insignificant problems that are in Windows.

    Their kids, so you should let them be kids.

  12. THEY WOULD GO SLOWER on Earth's Little Brother Found · · Score: 0

    the heavier the object orbiting the sun, the lighter it can be. why? cuz it has more inertia, thus more resistance to the pull of the sun. now, the small object must travel fast or it will get caught by the suns gravitational pull. the larger one can go slower and still stay in an orbit. add them together to get a larger mass, thus it will go slower to keep the same orbit

    and a good number of Christians.

    huh? last time i checked most Americans were Christians, and last time i checked America is giving billions of dollars to Israeli's each year.

  14. Re:Ok Ok Ok!!! on Library of Congress Map Collections from 1500's · · Score: 1

    obviously you dont get why palestinians and jews are fighting over hat piece of land. its not who had it first, its that both cultures consider that land to be holy and rightfully theirs. The bible says that that piece of land should be the jews. and the jews think that israel is where the first humans once walked. The palestinians have holy mosques that they worshit at that are on the same piece of land. And they are both too stubborn to share!

    ehhh, anyone who knows their history knows that America didn't come into existence until 1700's.

  16. Just to point out the obvious... on Windows/NetBIOS pop-up Spam: · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What kind of person would read and post on /. without having a secure computer with a firewall. it pretty much comes with the title of nerd to have a secure computer.

    Since most of the gamers are growing old and getting gray hairs, what does this mean for us young game players? After the old people become too old who will play DAoC, NWN, or Shadowbane with me? Do you think that a new wave of younger geeks will take over?
