  1. Re:I'm amazed on New Clues for Antikythera Mechanism · · Score: 1

    Kinda reminds me of "Planet of the Apes".

  2. Re:It's called democracy on Canadian Record Industry's Secret Lobby Campaign · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Kinda makes me feel like punching a bunch of corrupt officials. Dunno about you.

  3. Re:I hope Slashdot makes it into the "silver packa on Net Neutrality or Not? · · Score: 1

    You have people running and controlling the infrastructure whom belong on both sides of the political spectrum. As such, expect to see MAD (Mutually Assured Disconnection) take place. It won't belong before ALL forms of political descent takes place for the sole purpose of shutting up the other guys.

    How ironic! Rather then the government preventing political speech, we will be doing it ourselves...and be far far more effective in doing so.

  4. Re:It works both ways of course on More Warnings Against Oversharing on MySpace · · Score: 1

    MySpace.com = a treasure trove of blackmail material

  5. Re:Half the cost on Techies Asked To Train Foreign Replacements · · Score: 1

    Your both half correct. What's really happing is called "global economic equilibrium". If the trend of global labor markets continues, in theory all nations will have the same currency value. At this point, there would be no reason to outsource AND insource.

    In the real world however, things get a lot more complicated when you introduce the factor of governmental politics.

  7. It's how you distribute the energy. on Record Meteorite Hits Norway · · Score: 5, Informative

    There is a difference in how the energy was distributed. With the A-Bomb, it was an atmospheric blast. With the space rock, the energy was absorbed into the Earths crust.

  8. Re:Here's a scenario to show that you're wrong. on Flying Faster Without ID · · Score: 1

    Yes, that's what you would have to do. In any event however, I would single you out if you are of Middle Eastern bloodline. Nothing personal mind you, but based on previous data, your bloodline is causing most if not all the Islamic terrorism around the world in western countries.

    I know you did not decide to be born Middle Eastern, but here you are... It's not your fault. However, if you actually give a damn about protecting people in the most efficient manor, you have to agree with my level of reasoning.

    You're a nerd like the rest of us on Slashdot. Please come to grips with this fact from a scientific standpoint. It's only logical.

  9. Re:The word from Microsoft on autorun for nerdstic on Social Engineering Using USB Drives · · Score: 1
    According to this webpage you can get USB Flashdrives to autorun. In fact, the program to make it happen is called Microsoft USB Flash Drive Manager.

    You can configure USB Flash Drive Manager to copy files to and from flash drives; create images of the flash drives for backup purposes (by default, the images are placed in your My Documents folder in a USB Flash Drive Backup subfolder); configure autorun capabilities on a flash drive; and enable wireless configuration settings to be stored on a flash drive.


    Microsoft posted an article on how to disable the autorun feature from removable drives. The problem however is that it requires the drive to be installed first. Kinda pointless as it would be too late once you've connected the device for the first time.
  10. Re:stupid. stupid, stupid... on PS3 Apparently A Computer · · Score: 1
    Sony owned the market. The PS3 was a guaranteed success. A license to print money. And now they seem fixated on painting a target on their feet, merrily humming away, completely ignoring what their potential customers actually want.

    What's wrong with having that for a "Computer"? This thing is a sadomasochist wet dream! You know, being dominated/controlled and such.

  12. Re:I have to wonder on Intel To Slash Prices Up To 60% · · Score: 1

    They don't have too. The vast majority of people purchase a PC on brand, not what CPU it has. As such, Intel will have to rationalize with it's vendors, NOT the public.

  13. Re:Sorry. on Ultrawideband Signal Passes Data Through Walls · · Score: 1

    The answer could be "yes" if it's in regards to frequency ranges. Sorta how cordless phones running at 2.4Ghz causes hell with wireless 802.11 b/g devices.

    or do you buy into the bullshit that the muslims simply hate our way of life and freedom and must kill us all because of TCBY, naked womens ankles, and eating pork?

    It's not BS if it's an established fact. And yes, they do hate naked womens ankles and pork. Read the Quran sometime. It makes references to those things being forbidden.

    You might want to check out this article. Hell with that, just check out this website. Not that you would ever read it. Having your world view shattered would be like...letting the boy out of his bubble. No, we can't have that now can we?

    Don't be a fuck-tard! This is religious zelotry at it's finest. This hatred of the west has NOTHING to do with geo-politics. You (and people like you) are WISH it was due to the influence from the west. Reason being, because if we caused it, it must mean we can undo it.

    Sorry, but you can't do shit about it. Your an infidel. You don't warship the same God. As such, you must die...so they say.

  19. Re:Yet another reason... on The Worst Bill You've Never Heard Of · · Score: 1

    The idea of a flat sales tax is to do away with the governments ability to micro-manage society. Through raising and lowering taxes in verious areas, politicians can garner votes in their favor. Think of a shepherd herding his flock. Sure, the sheepole get to eat their grass, but not the grass YOU want. Worse yet, you're oblivious to anything other then the options given to you.

    I'm not sure about the UK. But here in the US, politicians take away from us, and then promise to offer it back as though it was something new...only if we vote for them. How fucked up is that? Why should we continue to let the government grow to the beast it is while at the same time we are being limited of personal power?

  20. Re:The people as Congress's enemy? on The Worst Bill You've Never Heard Of · · Score: 1

    I agree that the patriot act goes to far. But islamic terrorism is VERY real on-going threat. Hell, even Canada made a huge bust the other day. There's got to be some middle ground here to stop both these fanatics AND protect our civil liberties.

    And no, don't give me that false primise of we being the cause of this terrorism. I'll cut the head off that snake real quick in order to promote a real discussion among slash dotters.
