    yes but my point is that they can say that, they have the freedom to say it. PC is the rubbish that stifles peoples opinions and views.

    thats rubbish people should be able to express their views in whatever form or context. whether it demonises them is up to the court of public opinion, but to boldly state that there are always things you cannot say is just utter stupidity. my argument was and always will be, people should be allowed to express their views, regardless of what moral outcry their is.

  4. university only? on Another DARPA-Sponsored Robotics Competition · · Score: 1

    is there any reason this is only open to University teams? I am quite certain there are many more intelligent people on this earth that can make genuine efforts at creating robots. Is it because they dont think these people have the collateral to make a serious competition of it?

  5. Re:politically correct on What You Can't Say · · Score: 1

    well im neither left or right. I tend not to agree with politics in general. Thus me having a dislike for politcal correctness. People were not made to be drones. They were made to think and act of their own free will. Sure some people take it to extremes, but that is what makes us individuals.

  6. politically correct on What You Can't Say · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If everyone wasn't so politically correct there wouldnt be a need for an article like this. It appears that everyone has become so sensitive to anything that comes out of peoples mouths, that we all have to watch what we say otherwise the PC demons will come and take our souls back to buzzword land. A joke is taken out of context and suddenly you find yourself in court for slander. What's the point in speaking when you have to watch what you say all the time. What's the point in activism when people get offended so easily.

    Darl needs to read /. every now and then.

    a cheap tv from intel? is the project codename celeron?

  9. Re:Space/time/money on Doomsday PC-Cooling With Dual-Cascade Coolers · · Score: 1

    thats the whole point behind R&D isnt it? push the boundaries to see how far you can go. If everyone thought the way of "who cares, no one needs this", we'd all still be scribbling gibberish on paper.

    maybe when this can be used to replace my LG internet fridge i'll get some cold beer

  11. osx 10.1 was slow, but jaguar fixed that on Is Mac OS X Slow? · · Score: 1

    as soon as i OSX was released i started developing some apps for it. i was doing linux development before that and as soon as i switched to OSX i havent looked back. It is a huge leap ahead of OS9, which was buggy and bogged down with needless coding. OSX has a much crisper structure and anything that you might find a problem in OSX you can fix it yourself as you normally would on a linux machine. Quartz extreme also made a huge difference with the UI. So 10.1 may have been slow, but Apple ironed out most of the bugs and if any new ones come up have fixed them with their software update function. They are quick to release patches and updates. Coming from a Linux/BSD perspective, i dont think OSX is slow at all, if anything it is as fast if not faster. buti guess with all the money apple threw into r&d with osx, you'd hope it would be.
