  1. Re:Paid for by US Traitors on China's Superior Technologies · · Score: 1

    And we happily sell these concepts to every developed/developing/under developed nation whose salivating industries emulate and tailor them for regional needs.

  2. Re:Or not on China's Superior Technologies · · Score: 1

    This is not just a chinese problem but pretty much universal. The concept of branding and franchising has rendered all new (no more developing) nations to adopt 'american' strucutres. It is cool to be american - still dont know what that means to americans but thats how it is viewed in every other corner of this planet.

    In response to the parent of this post, every nation will wait for the US to ubiqitize alternative fuel technology. Unless it is established well in the US nobody will adopt it for the long term. Most of the foreign investors need to understand the impact of a fuel technology. The only way they will believe is if the US uses it !!

  3. Re:Who does OBL want in power? on Pre-Election Discussion · · Score: 1

    Actually OBL wants to be in power. He is tired of hiding in mountains and drinking goat milk.

    That was a pathetic statement from OBL trying to be statesmanlike. OBL is no Arafat. His whereabouts will be pummelled cluster munitioned even if Nader gets elected.

  4. Another story with 1047 comments on Pre-Election Discussion · · Score: 1

    With no interesting techie news in the queue and one year old items the editors have succumbed to the worst form of pandering. I will bite. Personally I follow the money trail. This bunch of speculators know more about who will win than any star gazers could promise.

  5. /. it and all its children on The Votemaster Is...Andrew Tanenbaum · · Score: 1

    The site and all its hyperlinks have been /.ted. Thats a new beginning I guess.

    Thanks.

  6. Re:need my eyes checked on Exploring Antarctica · · Score: 1

    stop using that laser powered virutal display to browse slashdot. It doesnt take 10 years as discussed in the article.

    It sounded funny to me !

  7. Re:what the article means (after you read it) on India Outsourcers Find Back Door in Canada · · Score: 1

    Wow. Nice argument. You would rather the building that Satyam houses stay empty or worse remain a grassland (or snowland). The maintenance and other management activities that employ local canadian business are ignored in your argument.
    Everything that changes the status quo is good - thats what the govt of Canada thinks. If you are bringing in new business - even if you are going to import 80% of your workforce, it is still good because you are somehow impacting the local economy which is otherwise moribund.

  8. Re:YES! on Bush Website Blocked Outside N. America · · Score: 1

    Wow. This is incredible. I cant believe that John Kerry didnt harp on this aspect.

  9. what about VBX (ok OCX, fine DLL) on Gambas 1.0 Release Candidate Available · · Score: 2, Interesting

    component based development was the important reason for VB's survival. Before we get onto the robustness jokes, is there a plan to implement something similar ? I did RTFA but the site is crawling under /. attack currently.

  10. Wow on A Technical RFID Primer · · Score: 3, Funny

    And I thought they worked by Magic !!

    Redundancy check completed !

  11. Cant destroy the competition on Firefox - The Platform · · Score: 1

    Somehow this destroy the competition seems so bush like. You cant destroy IE for any number of reasons.

    I think the ideal solution for a FireFox on every desktop is to use it the way I do -

    Intranet apps - use IE
    Internet use - use FireFox.

    FireFox will have its exploits and all but it is my spare tire approach - sell it as the necessary backup all the time. Once you get needed credibility and 'eyeballs' behind it, it will start replacing IE.

  12. Re:Uh no on MP3 Going the Way of the 8-Track? · · Score: 1

    And the rest of you, we wil bomb hell out under any acceptable (to our masses only) pretext. Mass music downloads that destroys the american way. Terror is anything that destroys the american way. Here we come with cluster munitions and Haliburton contracts.

  13. Re:What exactly about TCP is getting old? on Replacing TCP? · · Score: 1

    Yup it is getting old. My packets are getting wrinkled. There is a smell of an old fart all the time. I can even hear a walker being dragged when my CPU is not whizzing. Should change it before they announce it has alzheimers or the flu. I didnt even get my shots this year.

  14. cell phone camera on Samsung Producing 5 Megapixel Camera Phone · · Score: -1, Redundant

    The photo looks like a cellphone on a camera. When you accomodate 5 MP, I guess you compromise on something !!

  15. Easy solution on The Universal Off Button · · Score: 1

    Put a black paper and a scotch tape in front of the IR hole on the TV if you are placing it in public.

    What I cant understand is this bunch of /.ers are the ones who blame M$ when microsoft puts out an insecure system - at the same time crediting the hackerer who finds the exploit.

    Blame the TV manufacturer or the airport authorities (the big guy)- as we always do :)

  16. Re:Paul is amazingly correct on Good Bad Attitude · · Score: 1

    Quite surprisingly I did the same. Read the article finally and found out what a poor choice quote the /. editor had picked.

    The article was insightful associating the hacker mentality with something vaguely 'change or growth or free' - a creative process.

    Whats being done to this country is what has been done all along. For starters - You would weep when you hear the stories of dumping the corporation did to our nation's waters and the politicians looked the other way. But we managed and moved along and have something drink.

    Neoconservatism - Even this will pass away. Just like racism.
