  1. Re: on Intel Co-Founder Calls For Tax On Offshored Labor · · Score: 1

    I should say "they set the value of the money' whereas the treasury simply prints it.

  2. Re: on Intel Co-Founder Calls For Tax On Offshored Labor · · Score: 1

    Because we don't have a truly nationalized Federal Reserve Bank. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_reserve They make the money. The US Treasury (which is nationalized) does not. So the president or congress cannot 'peg' our currency effectively.

    "Microsoft quietly, or not so quietly," This parses to "Microsoft," for me.

  4. Re:God, please let this be true. on Prescription Handguns For the Elderly and Disabled · · Score: 1

    I agree. Everyone should have multiple guns. We need to keep everyone in the USA safe! When finally everyone can kill anyone else as easily as changing a channel with a remote control, finally we will all be free. My 2-year old child is physically small. Any man of average size and strength could kill him with his hands. To deny him the right to go armed is to deny him the right to self defence. To deny his right to self defence is in effect to deny his right to life. I assert my child's right to life, with force if necessary, but I can't be there all the time. I don't understand and will never agree with people like yourself who deny my 2-year old's right to self defence. I think it is a form of mental illness you're suffering.

  6. Re:Big deal on YouTube Breeding Harmful Scientific Misinformation · · Score: 1

    Portraying vaccinations in a negative light isn't the same as spreading misinformation or ambiguity. In fact, I'd say portraying vaccinations in a completely positive light would be spreading misinformation since there are clear examples of vaccinations gone wrong or being prescribed improperly.

    Just for instance, I have Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 which I contracted at age 19 from an autoimmune reaction to an MMR (Measels/Mumps/Rubella) vaccination. Maybe I would have gotten the disease some other way, but maybe not. Now I have a chronic disease that requires multiple daily injections of insulin and dominates large parts of my life. Measels is a pretty bad disease, rubella was worse I suppose but I don't think I would have gotten the vaccination had I known my immune system was sensitive to it.

    Am I spreading misinformation? No, it's called opinion and life experience.

    All of you people mentioning 'natural selection' and 'uneducated people' can kiss my diabetic ass.

  7. Re:Oh, we've violating at treaty! Heavens! on US Ready to put Weapons in Space · · Score: 1

    Whatever the results of the war, the fact remains that the reason we allowed the administration to conduct was based on a falsehood. Some of that falsehood was known about by the highest levels of command, and ignored.

  9. Re:@ University of Washington & Western washin on Software Monoculture in Schools? · · Score: 1

    It's Dr. Nelson!!! Not FreeBSD but NetBSD, which he hosts the website for in his office. Actually there was a large WWU Linux group when I was there. Much of the faculty was bigoted toward some technology or OS in some way (some Anti-MS, some pro MS, some anti/pro this-and-that). Too bad for them, else they really could have done great things.

  10. Apparently spellcheckers were patented too on de Icaza: Rest of World Will Force US Into Linux · · Score: 1
    And therefore unusable by the author of this article.
    Because patents will most probably be the cancer of the tech industry in the near furure in US, Miguel is having an alternative plan on how to 'take over the world': starting with the third world.
    I think he meant 'future' not 'furure'.

  13. Re:Microsoft Dropped the Ball? on Fulfilling the Promise of XML-based Office Suites? · · Score: 4, Informative

    At this point, people should realize /. articles are mostly fretards talking out their ass. I too read this article, thinking: wft? As I am writing this comment, I'm looking at my (beta) Word 2003 file save dialog and an example XML doc I just made. It round-trips all formatting and junk in the XML format. It has a "save data only" checkbox in the saveas dialog, and can support xsl transforms (you supply the xsl) on export. If I cared, I think I could make it export OpenOffice format pretty easily. The high-fidelity XML file has a lot of junk, but it's all XML.
