  1. Re:For gods sake... on Open Source Enables Terrorist States · · Score: 1

    Terrorist will steal Windows or Open source. so that is not the point. Windows is not secure and BSD is. That is the point! The govt wants insecure systems so they can break into them. The research was to find ways to hack any systems that the terrorist used. When they found out it was harder to hack BSD they decided that it was BAD. Security for OTHERS == BAD.

  2. Re:On a related note, Alyx Sachs, spammer, says... on Where Does Spam Come From? No, Really? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Uhh 2 billion divided by 35 million is 57 msgs
    per day, and 70 percent of that is 40 spams
    per day per AOHell user.

    Bad Karma is still Karma

  3. Re:Hmm on Should You Hire a Hacker? · · Score: 0

    Rehabilitation?
    Our prisons are not about rehab.
    Clockwork Orange stopped prisons from doing rehab.

  4. The Beast on Man Jailed for Selling Modchips · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You get in bed with the beast you may get eaten. Do not base your life on M$ products! They will use you for market share then burn you. I would not be suprised if they come out with MOD chips under the M$ logo. Just stay away from Xbox, get a real computer or get a real game or better yet go outside and get some fresh air and sunshine.

  5. Kid will be wrong anyway on Eleventy What? · · Score: 0

    He taught his kid Hexidecimal. He said 100 = 64 well that is OCTAL! in Hex 100 = 256.

  6. Re:1984 through corporations... on Don't Worry, We're Not From The Government · · Score: 0

    The question is still the same, If this was all in place 9/10/01 how many of the hijackers would have been stopped? how many false positives would be generated? All this data still would not have pointed out half the hijackers. Honest, legal, quiet guys who were taking flying lessons. All this data just lets horny agents know what your daughter's schedule is. If it weren't for bad karma, I'd have no karma at all.

  7. A boy and his dog on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 0

    Young Don Johnson in post WWIII. His dog sniffs out women for him.

  8. Ski lift not elevator on The Space Elevator · · Score: 0

    Elevator that powers itself up the cable? NO WAY. It needs to be a loop that is powered from the ground, like a ski lift. The payload just gets into position and grabs the cable. It then lets go at the top. The only problem is the cable is twice as long and will wrap around the earth a couple times when it breaks and starts infernos all about the equator. If it werent for bad Karma I'd have not Karma at all.

  9. National Security on Microsoft Opens Source to China · · Score: 0

    Jim Allchin swore under oath that disclosing the Windows operating system source code could damage national security. That is just US govt. Showing it to China could not hurt our security.

  10. Real need on Half Mast · · Score: 0

    I was as geeky a nerd as any on /. I just learned to injury anyone who bothered me. Hurt them a little the first time and you get some respect. With a little respect, you do not have to KILL THEM! The high school quarterback is more likely to be the dim witted VP you take budget request to. If it werent for bad Karma I'd have no Karma at all.

  11. OS for brain implants on Computers Will Be Built By Living Cells · · Score: 0

    Then they will install Palladium and you can only think thoughts you have paid for.

  12. userids are just nicknames for geeks on Power Laws, Weblogs, and Your Given Name · · Score: 0

    I grew up in Jersey, nobody used thier real name. Everyone had a nickname or several. CB Handles, userids and Everquest characters are all variations on the same search for a unique identity. I really earned the Sir.

  13. Decision making process on Where Should Space Exploration Go From Here? · · Score: 0

    Let NASA experts decide?? Example: 2 proto types were built for the Joint Strike Fighter 1-lightweight on time under budget only a couple minor design issues 2-heavy slightly over budget overly complex disign Which one wins: Answer: the one with factories in the most congressional districts. (#2 lockheed martin)

  14. XBox - monopoly in the making on Xbox Losses Double, Xbox Shrinks · · Score: 0

    M$ can afford to lose millions, just to gain market share. If you want to hit them where they live; Demand Windows and Office at a bargain price. Look at the profits on those 2 products. Revenue 300% and 150% respectively. 40 Billion in the bank and looking for markets to buy. Shareholders should demand dividends!

  15. This goes alone with article about grade inflation on Giant Sucking Noise · · Score: 0

    When your population has 4.0 gpa and NO KNOWLEDGE, your jobs go elsewhere. The jobs can go overseas when we do not work smarter than everyone else. We need to improve our educational system. What was Germany doing in the 20s and 30s, BEFORE Nazis and giving rise to Einstein and the other geniuses of that age? (NASA owes a huge debt to the scientists we got from Germany)

  16. Wimps on Grade Inflation in Higher Education · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It shows the author is a wimp, without the courage of his convictions. It shows that our educational system is being taken over by left wingers bent upon destroying our country, while making wimps 'feel good about themselves' The DOE needs to become a branch of the DOD! Our future national security rests on how well our childred can defend the counry.

  17. Re:A Simple Solution on Mission: Infiltrate the P2P Network · · Score: 1

    Establish a web of trust? Then they would pour in false GREAT ratings. Kinda like playing google ratings. An answer to other question: Indie artists can share and won't be attacked by over peer. Record companies PAY THEM to attack specific recordings. They do not pee for free.

  18. Govt wants cash on Lessig's Next Copyright Proposal · · Score: 1

    $1 wont fly. Make it $100 a shot after 50 years. Tell legislators how much cash they coult get from Disney for a one time big hit. They could fund all kinds of pork!!!! Then it would zip through congress.

  19. Re:This is good on DMCA Invoked Against Garage Door Openers · · Score: 1

    Native tribes are puting patents and copyrights
    on traditional cures and even the words in
    the language!

  20. Best Solution on The Art of Deception · · Score: 0, Troll

    If you want to read this criminal's handbook, read it in the bookstore. (maybe borrow it from bookstore) Maybe read it in the library, DO NOT CHECK IT OUT! Library lists are subject to FBI warrants. Do not pay for it, why give a thief money? Mitnick is a DIRT BAG! I wish I could leave my doors unlocked like in the old west, and just shoot trespassers. Assholes like him, make ME have to lock MY doors.

  21. Not Gods Just wanna be paid like Gods on Complications · · Score: 1

    I realize that doctors are just human. They are not gods, they should not be expected to be perfect. However when someone charges you your life savings, you should be able to raise you expectations. If the AMA gave out honest reports and people had a chance to shop, physican prices would drop and expectations would be more reasonable. (HMOs are doing this already)

  22. FCC - Looking out for us on Cable, TV Makers Agree on Digital Standard · · Score: 1

    Some small facts: Digital signals take up less spectra than analog. The FCC wants to make money off the spectra thus The FCC is pushing for Digital signals so they can harvest the analog bands. Current HDTV has an analog component, this is designed to screw up copying. Current HDTV takes up way more spectra than the FCC wants it to. (so it has to go) Current HDTVs are not selling. (I was not buying until they are fully digital) So the makers are willing to change. Yes if you bought an HDTV already, you are getting screwwed. There are still MILLIONS of analog TVs out here. Some small hopes: You should be able to buy a digital to analog tuner for years to come. Hook your PVR to it and you have what you got now. Someone will make a toy to get your cable into your PVR/Computer. If a $100 Walmart TV can show it, a $2000 custom decoder will be able to steal it. (whatever hollywood thinks) Best Wishes and Merry Christmas

  23. Air Bag required and Helmets optional on Motorcyclists To Get Wearable Airbags · · Score: 1

    Florida has made helmets optional, so many bikers prefer comfort over safety. I would rather have a steel suit of armor than an air bag. But mine is comfortable. Just sign your Organ Donor Card before getting on the motorcyle, you can do some good for the rest of us.

  24. Ruins my idea on State Coalition Approves Internet Sales Tax Plan · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Modify the 7-11 for no tax. First put a web site in the Virgin Islands. Then put terminal at the door. You order the items you want and swipe your card. Your order is then delivered to the store front or even your car. The point of sale is the Virgin Islands right? The store is just a warehouse/delivery point.
