  1. Either on Random Number Generator That Sees Into the Future · · Score: 1

    Joke or BS. But definately this shouldn't be in the "Technology" section of ./

  2. Re:Accuracy on U.S. Kids Don't Understand First Amendment · · Score: 1

    For instance, some countries have this Internal Security Act which allows government to imprison anyone for a couple of years without trial

    What do you men "some countries" ? Like Somalia, Libya and Nigeria ?

    I have thought that US tries to stay in the "civilized democratic countries". The First Amendment has clearly been base for the democracy in USA. If its importance can be diminished in four years like it seems where could the country end in ten..twenty years ?! It seems like the greater the growd the dummier it behaves... Now I understand how the nazi party could get the peoples (almost) full support total dictatorship during Germany in 1930'ies!

  3. Re:For those who have RTFA issues... on MS To Limit Security Fixes to Legal Copies of Windows · · Score: 1

    "But users who have pirated copies of Windows will be able to continue to get security fixes if they sign up to automatically receive security updates."

    Sounds like a trap to me. Users of pirated XP:s will get automatically listed. I cannot find any other reason to allow "unregisted" to get fixes.

  4. A New Type Of Vulnerability on Voice Activated MP3 player · · Score: 1

    The player would be vulnerable to a mp3-based DoS-attack: Kelly Osbourne shouts: "Shut up !" and the player shuts down...

  5. US court can abolish copyright ? on Lawsuit Filed Against Software Copyright · · Score: 1

    I guess US has signed treaties to honor copyrights internationally ? Or else we could make up a local patent system, which is VERY expensive for big foreign companies. And without our local patent and no copyright protection, we could copy the sw freely. Greg didn't think that US-patents are naturally not valid in other countries.

  6. They speak even without a phone! on Cell Phones In The Air? · · Score: 1

    Are you ever annoyed when people near you talk unnecessarily loud to each other? Or even worse, when it is in a tight, enclosed space and you can't walk away?
    Yeah, they should ban speaking in poulic places!

  7. Re:The source? on China and its Relation With Spam · · Score: 1

    It's funny how people accuse russian virus writers and chinese sending spam.
    But the most of the spam comes from USA, maybe via owned chinese hosts.

  8. Re:Statistically invalid samples on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 1

    Now You're mixing things up. Finland's score includes both rural and city results. Why should they be compared to, let's say, Moscow's results ??

    I agree that city results could be compared to each other and rural against rural areas.

    The real strength in Finnish education is decent level for weakest also.

  9. How long until.. on Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2003 · · Score: 1

    How long will it take until first unpatched vulnerabilities are found in Server 2003+SP1 ?

    End of the week, maybe ?

  10. Re:Yawn - No OSS on 11 Anti-spam Products Tested · · Score: 1

    Looks like the companies pay for getting their products into tests...

  11. It's still online on SCO.com Defaced · · Score: 1, Funny

    Maybe SCO can't find anything unusual on the page. Nothing against the corporate policy :)

    Odds are they may never find it.

  12. Ed Black ? on Microsoft Critic Received $9.75m After Settlement · · Score: 1

    Is he the brother of Joe Black ?
    http://www.meetjoeblack.com/

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119643/
    "...Death itself enters his home and his life, personified in a man's body: Joe Black has arrived. His intention was to take Bill with him, but accidentally, Joe's former host and Bills beautiful daughter Susan have already met. "(www.imdb.com)

    Is Bill Gates daughter's (Jennifer) other name Susan ?

  13. When You select Your next phone on Microsoft Critic Received $9.75m After Settlement · · Score: 1

    You know which cell phone to select when You're buying a new one.
    I hope Nokia stays strong in its view against MS.

    I'm wondering if one association makes never-sue-deal in a anti-trust case it can only speak for itself. Anyone else should now also be entitled to sue MS for the same reason.

  14. Coo'n handy on RF Connector Chess Set · · Score: 1

    It also helps to find the pieces after the loser knocks down the board...

  15. Safer than natural gas on Combined Gasoline/Hydrogen Fuel Station Opens · · Score: 1

    Hydrogen is much safer than natural gas. The most propable risk is having a small leak. Hydrogen goes right up to the sky, but natural gas is heavier than air and it flows to house basements, sewers etc.

  16. Not clearly to me .. on Novell Pulls Out Their Ace Against SCO · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't want to spoil your party but the sentence is not at all clear, at least to me:
    "Novell will retain all of its patents, copyrights and trademarks (except for the trademarks UNIX and UnixWare), a royalty-free, perpetuel, worlwide license back to UNIX and UnixWare fo ri nternal use and resale in bundled products, Tuxedo and other miscellaneous, unrelated technology."
    SCO lawyers will try to show that it says "that Novell keeps the copyrights except for UNIX"

    I agree with Novell but how about the jury ?!

  17. Same old mistake on The Lessons of Software Monoculture · · Score: 1

    In the story we can see the same common misunderstanding: "If Linux will be big, it will suffer same vulnerabilities as MS". MS has really succeeded in teaching the world that!

    Well Apache is big already and yet has clearly better security-level than the comparing MS-product. There must be something different in the process of either making software or fixing the holes!

  18. Solution for privacy on American Passports to Have RFID Chips · · Score: 1

    If you are worried about that someone might collect information on the movements of your passport, there exists an easy solution.
    All what you need is a metal plated passport covers! The RFID can be read oly when you allow it.

  19. Re:Is it this monkey ? on A New Species Of Giant Ape? · · Score: 1

    It must be this monkey (S.Ballmer monkey dance)
    http://homepage.mac.com/jpbarr/iMovieTheat er4.html

  20. When does it hit the local drug store ? on Embryonic Stem Cells Emit Healing Molecules · · Score: 1

    Cannot wait 'til I can buy that "Healium" at the local drug store. Ultima players may buy it in blue glass bottles. Doom-fans prefer boxes with a large red cross on top.

  21. Expensive ? on Smart Cars Tell You About Road Signs · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be cheaper to tag the signs with bar code and use a fast reader in the car ?

  22. No, but this ! on Internet Censorship in Australia? · · Score: 1
  23. Google Cache on AMD 2500+ Socket A CPUs Compared · · Score: 1

  24. Re:Looking for a good plant to play Bob Marley on Turn Your House Plants Into Speakers · · Score: 0

    For Bob Marley definately the hemp (cannabis sativa) !

  25. Re:Just tell me...where's Moe's on Obsessively Detailed Map Of Springfield · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's evident that we need a company register of Springfield.
    Why not a whole telephone book ?!
