  1. Re:Only detects it, doesn't cure it on Sniffing Out Cancer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Possible... but detection is the first step to the cure.
    It would just be as much scoial and economic discrimination if the patients would die because their cancer was detected too late. And the earlier it is detected, the higher are the chances for it to be cured.

  2. Cool on Sniffing Out Cancer · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    One step closer to having Dr. Beverly Crusher become real.

  3. Re:Can they record? on Students Get iPods as Study Aids · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have a Ripflash Mp3 player (and recorder) and it does a fairly good job recording lectures (and the 128 MB built-in last for about 8 hours).

  4. Re:Come one.. on Cheap Audio Production · · Score: 1

    ? I think the big studios will buy the pro edition and therefore pay the full 15,000$. The savings lie in the shorter production time and in comparison to the cost of the old equipment.

  5. so the internet is useful.... on SARS and the Internet · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    didn't we already know that? I mean, it was created by an organization that is supposed to do useful things and not by some quaker-clan.

  6. Explanation for the low number.... on 2002 US Wiretap Report · · Score: 1

    Not listed are probably intercepts by intelligence organizations... at least that's what it smells like.

  7. Re:Food For Thoughts on Apple Introduces iTunes Music Store, iTunes 4, new iPod · · Score: 0
    They are not compatible. 9mm uses a completely different system for their shots.

    Btw, I thought there is only a 8 and 9.5mm film system but not 9mm?

  8. Re:Food For Thoughts on Apple Introduces iTunes Music Store, iTunes 4, new iPod · · Score: 1

    ...In that industry you usually resolve such issues with a 9mm.

  9. Re:social security card on No ID Cards in the Future · · Score: 1

    That's right... if banks and credit card companies would INSIST on some form of ID in any case, then there would be virtually NO Identity Theft. The US is the only country known to me where you can get credit in somebody else's name with some chunks of information.

  10. Re:x.com seems to be paypal on DARPA Grant Cancelled for OpenBSD and U-Penn? · · Score: 1

  11. In PA... on "Super-DMCA" Outlaws Ph.D. Thesis · · Score: 1

    you aren't even allowed to possess a computer anymore. > 910. MANUFACTURE, DISTRIBUTION, USE OR POSSESSION OF DEVICES 15 FOR THEFT OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES.

  12. Re:Not just spam. on AOL Sues Five Spam Companies · · Score: 1

    Yeah... and thanks to the great US law system that would result in 73 million * 5 years in prison = 365 million years in prison... what was that about unusual cruel punishment?

  13. Re:Hiding data from the police on Stash Your Hard Drive In The Attic · · Score: 1

    pah... after that they REALLY have a reason to go on rampage.

  14. If you need to store it there... on Stash Your Hard Drive In The Attic · · Score: 1

    What kind of videos do you make with your DVCam?

  15. oh yes.... on Stash Your Hard Drive In The Attic · · Score: 3, Funny

    hm... where did I hide my HD from the police again? :-(

  16. Re:How robust is the database? on Moneydance - Cross-Platform Personal Finance · · Score: 1

    Quicken... I have had the same problem, especially in conjunction with encrypted partitions :-( It really stinks

  17. Freenet on Broad Bills to Protect 'Communications Services' · · Score: 1

    What they target are probably more networks like FreeNet. That's stuff they really can't control.... As for NAT they would either prosecute the administrator/organization running the NAT router or - in bigger corganizations - they would have logs to trace traffic down anyway.

  18. huh? on Slashback: Texasocial, Networking, Attacks · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Is it just me or is this article confusing and without a topic?

  19. poort dustbuster on R.I.P. Original iMac: 1998-2003 · · Score: 1

    As you may know, the iMac design was inspired by the dyson dustbuster. Does this mean the end of the union of dustbuster and computer? :-(

  20. And the routers.... on BusinessWeek on Wi-Fi · · Score: 2, Funny

    and the manufacturers will continue to ship Wi-Fi access enabled routers for home use that are wide open. So truly everyone can access the internet from anywhere! (and do anything they want since there is no way to track them down...) Isn't that a threat for national security? haha....

  21. Re:Damn. on Spider-Man Has Back Problems · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised... many people on /. probably have back problems but that's more a result of physical inactivity and the attempt to compensate it with mental activity. But if an actor gets back problems because oif his role in a movie I ask myself if that's not going too far. Not enough that athletes use drugs to boost their energy, now actors will start doing the same, huh?
