  1. Ahead of schedule capture on ISS Robotic Arm Captures Dragon Capsule · · Score: 5, Funny

    Anyone else think that the reason they got it done so fast was the little freezer full of ice cream on board?

  2. same old same old on Ask Slashdot: Which Candidates For Geek Issues? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The R's and the D's are truly just 2 arms of the same beast. They both survive only due to blaming the other camp for all of the problems in the world.

  3. Re:moar forums on Small, High-Resolution LCD Monitors? · · Score: 1

    Bad Geek! To your room with you without a byte of food nor a bit of water!

  4. Damn zeros on Schoolboy Corrects NASA's Math On Killer Asteroid · · Score: 1

    What's a couple of zeros when it's life or death...

  5. NoMachine on Next Knoppix Release to Feature GPL'd FreeNX · · Score: 2, Funny

    LOL They got "NoMachine" now that it is a smoking pile of rubble.

  6. Biodiesel is Great on Brew Your Own Auto Fuel For 41 Cents A Gallon · · Score: 1

    Biodiesel has some issues (no wonder) from our current federal government. If you want to use it over the road they insist on getting their taxes. It is however TODAY a great fuel for the marine enviroment. At the top of the boats that find Biodiesel attractive are sail boats. Yes they have small diesel engines... and the diesel makes a mess of the bilge. I have found $.60/gal to be more inline with the production costs if the oil is free.

  7. Re:Step 4 on Getting A Laptop With The Low U.S. Dollar · · Score: 1

    No sales tax in Oregon as well. Peace.

  8. Data is Information and Information is power on Do You Have A License For Those Facts? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    When I look back on history, Mankind has grown only when the free exchange of information was enabled. Progress was slow for us until we invented the written word. Things moved at a breakneck speed, compared to the past, after that. Then came the printing press. Now we could get the "Combined Human Knowledge" out to the masses. We now have the ability to share information instantaneously. We have arrived. As long as we keep the flow of Information FREE for EVERYONE, we will prosper and flourish. If it goes away, we will wither and die. Pay attention. I don't see why or when the American people asked the government to favor the rights of corporations over citizens. Why are they involved? Why do they care?

  9. Re:the legality question... oh how sad on Suggestions for a DVD Video on Demand System? · · Score: 1

    Yes, I agree with you and also vote with my dollars. I dont buy any cd's or dvd's from those a*sholes. Peace and respect.

  10. Re:Keep in mind the laws on 802.11 for Vehicles? · · Score: 1

    In california permanent installations are ok. But no laptop.

  11. Re:unconstitutional maybe, but... on Part of Patriot Act Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yeah that is the argument however if you look at the "new" definition of terrorism...."any person or group that seeks to question the US government" something like that. Well dont we as citizens have the DUTY to keep our government in check? How is that going to happen with this law on the books. Worrysome and knee-jerk from our leaders in washington. they seem to have done it just so they can say look at what we did we are trying to protect you and the CHILDREN. Bah

  12. Re:Well, that's not entirely accurate... on Dell Throws In For The +R/+RW Standard · · Score: 1

    So exactly how does "giving away of soon to be obsolete technology" affect waste output?

    As I see it Dell has all these parts and they can give them away or throw them away. Giving them away KEEPS them from the landfill. Peace.

  13. Re:Lower prices on Game Piracy Results in Lower Prices? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't think that people that buy alot of pirate games would buy the retail versions if the bootleg ones were not there. I mean I might try a game for 5 bucks but 50? No way. The game compaines need to reduce the price to what the market will pay or pay the price. Peace.

  14. Re:More outlets = good on Need... More... Power... · · Score: 1

    mostly good advice, however if you are running cat5/6 cable with your electrical cables you might get noise. If you still want a central "channel" to run the cable in. Here is what you can do, put the low voltage wires in one conduit and the house voltage wires in a 2nd one. Then you can run the conduits parallel. I think 8" should be enough space between conduits. Anyone else have a comment on this?

    YMMV

    ITOH if you are happy with 10baseT do what ever you want with the cat5 :)

    Peace

  15. Purge the Drives Capt'n! on MP3.com's Content to Be Destroyed · · Score: 1

    Are there any good music sharing services that are doing things right?

  16. Re:Vote Libertarian! on 2600 Staffer Arrested During Republican Convention · · Score: 1

    I have to agree that this "Drug War" is not working. $250 BILLION has been spent since it started. Thats allot of cash. about 30% of our prisons are filled with non violent "drug offenders". They are letting violent criminals out of prison to make room for all these guys. doesnt make since man. I just heard of these Libertarian guys and have read their stand on the Issues on the website lp.org. makes sense to me more than the bone heads that have been killing our rights for 50years (or more). Go check it out. Might change the world for the better.
