  1. Re:The structures aren't fixed on Interplanetary Superhighway · · Score: 1

    so what form do the structures actually take? Are we talking about something that can flex, or something rigid?

    unlike the previous poster... you should be called "crypticGuy" becuase ive got no idea what the heck you are talking about...

    I think obviousGuy has a good point... we cant seem to do projects on a comparitevly small scale... much less on a planetary scale... besides, im still waiting for the elevator to the moon.

    dont the planets move around the sun at different rates? So how would it be possible to make a fixed structure to "drive" to a planet?

    well.. it seems to me that for a news orginization that promotes open source, there would be some sort of mentality that information should be free, to everyone, at the same same time, in the same context, etc.

    Also what are the implications for karma whoring... how long before we have subscribers getting all of the karma(mirroring and other methods), and the non-subscribers all being modded redundant.

  6. hmm on Slashdot Subscribers Now See The Future · · Score: 1

    So while subscribers won't see news posted at the last minute before everyone else, most of our stories will be available to them 10-20 minutes before everyone else. This means they can click through and beat the Slashdot Effect.

    your assuming the people who value posting first actually read the article.. thats a pretty rash assumtion

    well... my guess is that microsoft would not prohibat writting to your own hard-drive... but instead of using removable devices... like floppy or zip disk or what ever... you would have to use a .net server to transfer files...

    To accommodate the new material, most of the extraneous information, lists, and most source code was moved from the book to the CD-ROM. In addition to the new material, you'll find a special single license release of the internetworking security toolkit, TigerSuite Pro 3.5. This kit contains modules to discover, scan, penetrate, expose, control, spy, flood, spoof, sniff, infect, report, monitor, and more, plus a special 60-page usage and user guide.'

    erm... its saying that microsoft will force users to pass files through a .net server

    forcing users to pass files through a .net server sounds very very close to "files will be stored on a server(microsoft or otherwise)." . Infact guessing microsoft statistics will be gathered from these files.. to find out what type of market there next product should target

    the american people my have voiced about open source.. but no such thing has been seen in goverment and industry... thats the differnce... becuase if it had... bill gates wouldn't be wiping his ass with 100 dollar bills.

  18. Re:And instead of applauding... on CAPPS II Trials Begin in March · · Score: 1

    do you use the streets? What if your house burns down... are you going to want the firefighters to help? What if someone breaks into your house, and stole things that had sentimental value, would you want the police to go over to the kid who egged your house 3 times and look around?

    You cant have tires with spikes, you cant park infront of firehydrants, and you have to obey the police.

    For every service we are given, wether it be police, streets, electrict, gas, roads, etc, we have to follow some rules to preserve those services. The same thing goes on at a national level.

    Did I mention before that I tend to learn towards your way of thinking... im pretty sure I did. I like my privacy just as everyone does... but when the goverment has to step in to preserve the basic services either on a domestic or national level, I have to try to understand that.

    However... when logic like the above gets twisted into something sinister(homeland securities act), I will protest. Im going next wendsay to an antiwar protest... so dont act like I dont try to see the wrongs in my goverment... but I also try to see the right things.

    btw... typing in bold doesn't make your point any more or less valid.

    the strength of the us goverment was found in comprimise... making a strong central goverment, while makeing limitations on that power. While I tend to lean towards your way of thinking, we do need to have order in our goverment.
