  1. Re:What Romney Said. on MIT Certifies Biological Engineering Major · · Score: 1

    I fully support making embryos for research. I would rather cure cancer than have another screaming baby in my favorite theater.

  2. Re:Rat-rights. "Animal rights". on MIT Certifies Biological Engineering Major · · Score: 1

    I love animals and all, I wouldn't beat a dog, I don't kick the shit out of my cat, but I see how stupid allot of these animal rights people are. Making sure horses are not being abused is a good and noble cause but protesting the killing of animals for food is ludicrous. Combines (they are farm machines, harvest food) kill MILLIONS of small animals every year in their huge, sharp blades, but I do not see them protesting that. They continue eating that wheat from that machine of small-mammal-death.

    But our country is being run into the ground. Currently we are entering a small "dark ages." However, history has shown humanity cycles from reason to religion so there is no reason to believe in a century or so we will be back at the top.

    Even better, thanks to the new-found storage abilities no knowledge we be lost. Just for the hell of it I am arching important papers and "inventions" I find on the internet. This was mostly just to keep cool stuff I found within easy reach but it has taken on a new meaning.

    However, a generation of bright-mind individuals with be wasted.

    Rat-rights? Who the hell are these people?

    Relgion needs a "hot topic" to stay relevent. It is a great PR idea created centuries ago to keep this man-made idea of relgion in the spotlight. It is to keep the people's minds off the absurdity of "god" creating light before he "made" stars.

  6. Re:The motivation is religious. on MIT Certifies Biological Engineering Major · · Score: 1

    I think an embryo would rather help human kind than slowly rot in a garbage can.

  11. Great read on ACM to Honor TCP/IP Creators with Turing Award · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I suggest people read this article, a great description of the TCP/IP stack. One of the best Wikipedia entries anywhere.

  16. Indeed on Eisenstadt's Analysis Of 8 Years' Worth Of Email · · Score: 4, Insightful
    I used to NEVER get spam, I didn't know what people were complaining about. I was on a mail server that no spammer really knew about, so there were no dictionary mailings. However, once I posted that paticular email on just a few websites I have been getting ~50 spam a day. There is no way they got my email through me signing up for things because I use a seperate address. I'm just glad the kind of practices they use (trawling the internet for emails) are illegal, although that doesn't mean much.

    I will never buy anything from spam, and whoever does has got to be a complete moron.

    No one would ever take Microsoft on. All they would have to do is threaten and that would be that. Just like the RIAA.

    True true, good point.

    See? You CAN have a civil discussion on Slashdot! =)

    Exactly. Many farmers/people who drive on their own (very, very large) property would be pissed to hell at this.

    Well I'm sorry for having to commute to feed my family. I guess you better punish my kids too for making me do that.

  21. Average user on Mozilla Drops Support for International Domains · · Score: 0

    The average user who would fall for one of these scams (clicking on a paypal or citi bank link) is not going to be smart enough to edit some "strange file" in a "strange place" with "strange contents".

  22. Extension on Mozilla Drops Support for International Domains · · Score: 1

    I assume there will be an extension to do this shortly. I'm too lazy plus I have to do this on a few computers. It would be better if I could load it on a USB stick and go around installing it instead of editing some file.

    If you ever go to an international domain name you such be looking out for scams anyway.
