  1. Kaguya on A Mouse With Two Mothers · · Score: 1

    Seems that we'll see more and more this kind of news in genetic field especially. But it's still "hazardotech". Little Kaguya (name of the mouse) required even more unsuccessful materia/innocent mice to succeed than Dolly the sheep. So no mass production for awhile.

  2. 99% certainty the buyer is ... on Delorean Time Machine Replica Up For Auction · · Score: 5, Funny

    Somehow I've got a feeling Steve Ballmer is going to buy that thing too.

  3. Re:Sounds strange, little hasty decision on LUG Pres Resigns Over Military Linux Use · · Score: 1

    Software is Software.

    Free Software is Free Software

    Free People are Free People, You see?

  4. Sounds strange, little hasty decision on LUG Pres Resigns Over Military Linux Use · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In the military, there will be high tech and software involved anyway. Traditionally army investing in certain product will only do good things to consumers, since there is no way army or anyone else can misuse Linux the way its not intended to - to serve people - under GPL!

  5. Chips and trips on Implant a Chip in Your Head · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There's nothing new there, but, it's just so surprising that there's so little the world can offer to SciFi litterature, but so much SciFi can offer to reality.

  6. It's not what geeks do on The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No, I don't think so, geekyness is a subculture ... and if the mainstream comes towards us, we shall step aside. Not to rule the world, but to change it!

  7. Nice to hear ... on Dan Gillmor Reconsiders Linux on the Desktop · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's all about tortoises! So welcome into our happy family once you get here, Dan! :)

  8. No new law, just action! on Why We Need a Second Moore's Law · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I dont think theres need for new laws, even for Moores law, we just need more technological advancement and new innovations ...

  9. Privacy? on Weapons in Space · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I guess therell be for instance space-to-space and space-to-air and space-to-ground weapons. We should be mostly worried about those aimed space-to-ground since their development are directly targetted to humans and their privacy, even at the peaceful time. Wether we can prevent the militarization of space is more like "Kioto" kind of question ... so Ill say not possible at the moment.

  10. Welcome Corel! on Corel To Test WordPerfect For Linux · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Definitely worth of competiting, even with OO and Star Office in the field. More competition means more innovation ... competition in Linux market may also boost creativity in other markets more important to Corel at the moment ... you never know until you try.

  11. ultimate interoperability on Omniscience Protocol · · Score: 1

    I know a Company that would call this interoperability :) Boom, there goes one again, because of a virus that puts something copyrighted in your computer.

  12. All my friends want one, must have it too! on Mod Chips Up, Game Industry Revenues Down? · · Score: 1

    I dont think mod chips are that bad or that they cause braindamage or instant illegal behaviour.

    You see, if you are a young guy whose friend is big and everybody likes him, and hes got a MOD CHIP! then you must have it too, and your friend too!!

    There are real pirates, who are outnumbered, and then there is the mainstream who likes to hang around.

  13. those interested in online betting will like it on SBC Park Plans A Giant 802.11 Hotspot · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I guess that might be good to those interested in online betting. Since with the instant availability of statistics and easy access to the betting site they might develope more "who catches the next ball" type of bets.

  14. IBM adds the heat in sunny SCO office to the max. on IBM Files For Declaratory Judgement In SCO Case · · Score: 4, Informative

    SCOs motion to Bifurcate in IBM case seemed like bad panick reaction. As put in Groklaw earlier, it looks like they want to separate their case from the most hopeless things by dividing it into two. Now the judge can only guess, whether what IBM is asking, is the most hopeless part. IMO it is.

  15. Re:Depends on what you play on Online Consoles Marginalizing PC Gaming? · · Score: 1

    I think you are right there about FPS games, my mistake. I was just thinking about mindless shooting and associating it with Xbox, sorry ;)

  16. Depends on what you play on Online Consoles Marginalizing PC Gaming? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    To me Its a matter of the game, simple, FPS-type and jumping and bouncing like a mad rabbit type of games are absolutely best when there is console with decent gear involved. Then again, complex RPG:s (or did they already die 10 years ago?) and games where you are allowed to think before you act are in my mind always going to be better with real computer environment. But its only my opinion :)

  17. Show of the year on Comcast Signs Deal To Acquire TechTV · · Score: 2, Funny

    Perhaps well soon see Super-X-killerBOT agaist Mickey Mouse Show.

  18. Democrats preliminaries makes a good example on Howard Rheingold on Using the Internet in Politics · · Score: 2, Informative

    Lets see: according to comScore Media Metrix in february johnkerry.com had over 1 mil. visits (103% growth), representing his success in the democrats presidential preliminary election. There were also 14% increase (compared to previous month) in the overall visitors in the politics cathegory in US making a total of 16 visitors in Feb. John Edvards site had 480,000 visitors (+60%), Dean and Clark got 355,000 (-50%) and 185,000 (-50) visitors, respectively. I guess that underlines the weight of the Net in politics in the coming elections ...

  19. The puzzle now shows the horizon ... on IBM Invests $50M in Novell, May Ship SUSE Linux · · Score: 1

    Pieces starting to come together I gather. And from what I see it shows a beautiful horizon with a dawn for Linux ... not the least thanks for Novell about its many wise & clever moves recently.
