  1. Not for me and mine on Consumer Electronics Causing 'Death of Childhood'? · · Score: 1

    I have five kids and they will play outside 95% of the time. I do not own video games nor will I let my kids have free access to them. No I am not a prude and no I don't shelter my kids. There is something to be said about the innocence of children and letting them BE children until they actually GROW UP. They will have plenty of time to be adults when they get there... let's face it... childhood is only about 15-20% of your life... the rest is adulthood.... Let them have their childhood and let it be a real childhood, not a psudo-adulthood

    "It was hard getting the list down to ten, but we did; here's the top ten - (1)Wikipedia, (2)Firefox, (3)Open Office, (4)Bittorrent, (5)MediaWiki, (6)Xvid, (7)pbb, (8)Outfoxed, (9)dyne:bolic, (10)GIMP, (11)Apache and (12)SourceForge." Must be new math...6+6=10 now

    Yeah, Wiki twice... please and Outfoxed... which is a political statement rather than a boost for OSS

  12. Political agenda on Top Ten Open Source Projects · · Score: 2, Informative

    Nice... I would expect this from both sides of the political movements...but from the technology movement... OutFoxed should not be included in this line up. Sure it is an opensource project but would a similar project about CNN have gotten in the top 10... doubtful...

    This choice seems to not really be about "opensource" but rather a way to get the Outfoxed onto Slashdot...cheap

    In the future, leave your petty political agendas out of a "TECHNOLOGY" top ten list.

  14. Re:Welcome to the bizarre world of "global warming on Capitalizing on Melting Polar Ice · · Score: 0

    That article was written in 1998... funny how things come true.

    Global warming is a topic hyped by the liberal media... (would you like some more kool-aid?)

    There is no scientific evidence of Global warming being caused by 100 years of petro usage... How much pollutants did Mt. St. Helens put out in 1980?

    As fare as being dependant... I burn veggie oil in my car... but I still don't believe in this whole "Green house" thing and "Global Warming" being caused by humans... that is a very arrogant assumption.

  15. Welcome to the bizarre world of "global warming." on Capitalizing on Melting Polar Ice · · Score: 0

    http://www.heritage.org/Press/Commentary/ed012298b .cfm

    "Even the scientist who first warned Vice President Al Gore about global warming, Roger Revelle, wrote shortly before his death: "The scientific basis for greenhouse warming is too uncertain to justify drastic action at this time." Responsible environmentalism is one thing--but don't you think we ought to be sure this thing is happening before we make a huge economic sacrifice for it?

    Few Americans understand what's really going on. Hint: The conservative revolution has robbed liberals of a vehicle for expanding the size and power of government. But a long-term environmental crisis, even one manufactured by alarmists, could change that."

    And the best part... (The author is refering to Pres. Clinton)

    The global-warming scenario provides advocates of big government with an excuse for tapping into the lifeline of the U.S. economy for the foreseeable future. Better yet, the current president will be long gone before most of the belt-tightening begins to pinch .

    The U.S. Senate should shut this one down before it goes any further.

    Don't be stupid...
