  1. Lunatic Fringe... on Glen Beck Warns Viewers Not To Use Google · · Score: 1
  2. So What? on Paul Haggis vs. the Church of Scientology · · Score: 0

    In a world where 50 million children are malnourished who cares if Scientologist read strange books and use E-meters to read their souls? I don't know why this is a subject for Slashdot in the first place.

  3. Raise fuel taxes for individual POV's on German Military Braces For Peak Oil · · Score: 1

    To solve the problem nations would have to raise the taxes on fuel for POV's and ration gas for them. For vehicles that are used for distribution of goods like trucks they would be exempt from any higher fuel taxes. POV owners would most likely switch to public transport and those live on the edge of the economy would get rid of their cars altogether. The most important item is that goods get priority in distribution so there is no shortage of them and individuals will need to adjust to higher costs and switching to public transport.

  4. Who is going to be the 1st to install Linux on iPa on Australian Buyers Say They Were Told "No iPad Without Accessories" · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    So who will install Linux first on the iPad?

  5. Torrent Download page on Fedora 13 Is Out · · Score: 1
  6. Try a non-profit health insurance provider on Health Insurance When Leaving the Corporate World? · · Score: 1

    My option was to find a non-profit health insurance company for my health insurance. Make sure that you do not omit anything in the application. For children you will most likely need to go over their medical records with a doctor/nurse, because sometimes doctors or nurses will write something down and not tell a parent or guardian. Also if a child has been to a ER go over those records also.

  7. This has lawsuit written all over it. on Reuters and Yahoo! Enlist Camera Phones · · Score: 1

    Why would anyone give away their IP to a for profit corporation so they can make thousands of dollars off the video and get nothing in return? The Michael Richards video has brought in millions of dollars to media corporations and the fool that gave it away has nothing.

  8. The Feds have all control of the Radio Spectrum on FCC Sued to Allow Cell Phone Jammers · · Score: 1

    This has been challenged before in US Federal court mainly the Federal .gov was sued over broadcasting licenses and even requiring Hams to obtain a license from the government back in the 1920's. If the local police need a jammer call the FBI and they will be out in a hour. The problem is that cell phone jammers can very easily jam the 700-1200 MHz communication equipment used by police so they will have a SWAT team at a location with no communication when a cop that isn't an engineer flips the cell phone jammer switch that isn't properly programmed and calibrated. The FBI has engineers with spectrum analyzers to prevent the accidental jamming of other communications.

  9. Johnny Cash Never Said it Better on Microsoft Interested In More Linux Deals · · Score: 1
  10. Question: If I buy Novell Linux Can I? on Novell Gets $348 Million From Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Run any flavor Linux that is covered by the patents? Since the Software is OSS I would be covered by the Novell License right?

  11. 100,000 Linux Users on Firefox 2 Downloads Top 2 million in 24 Hours · · Score: 1

    installed it onto twenty machines each. ;-)

  12. Re:Hah. Screw it. on Privacy Pitfalls in No-Swipe Credit Cards · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When there is credit card fraud the merchants get stuck with the bill and you end up paying higher prices.

  13. If Apple had just sold an OS with any Computer on Why Apple Failed in the 90s · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Microsoft would be a another failed Software company, but by tying their OS to only their equipment they squandered their ability to be the number one software company in the world. If tomorrow they made their OS X available to run on any Intel type processors they would take 50% of the computer market in one year. Prove me wrong Apple, try it.

  14. Don't Believe teh US .gov about WMD on North Korea Air Sample Shows Radiation · · Score: 1

    We all remember CIA's Mr. Tenet telling President George Bush that WMD's in Iraq were a slam dunk. Besides no one in the US .gov wants to tell 'the leader' anything he doesn't want to hear as documented in Bob Woodward's Books about Bush and his administration.

  15. I don't know who is worse... on Stock Options Scandal Rocks McAfee · · Score: 1

    a crack dealer or a CEO at a High Tech Firm. Radio Shack's CEO turned out to be a fraud also.

  16. Symantec & McAfee Suing? on Analysts Split Over Vista Launch Date · · Score: 0

    I think Symantec and McAfee are being silly. This would be like makers of DOS programs suing Micosoft for putting out Windows 95. Symantec and McAfee are ancient technology with Vista's better security system. While it is bloat ware after using Vista Ultimate it has a lot of prompts for running programs and windows defender is very good. The corporations will just have to lay off there personal and license their patents like others have done. One World. One Government. One Operating System. ;-)

  17. Itunes dioes not sell MP3's on Teens Don't Buy Legit MP3s Because They Can't? · · Score: 1

    In the article the author states that you can buy itunes cards in stores. However I tunes does not sell MP3's and when you convert itunes to MP3 you lose quality in the sound. In order to lessen the effect of the loss you must use a very high bit rate that makes the file larger.

  18. Windows Vista Basic Home on Vista to Include Stepped up Anti-Piracy Measures · · Score: 1

    If you go to the MS web site and checkout Vista basic home it is basically for web browsing, chat and reading email according to them. I don't know if MS has crippled it in some way so that it is only useful for those items, but I think a lot of OEM's will include the Vista Basic home version and tell people if you want more you need to upgrade to Home Premuim or whatever.

  19. McAfee & Symantec are Old Technology on McAfee, Symantec Think Vista Unfair · · Score: 1

    With the new technology by MS it appears that their products are no longer needed. The companies should lay off their employees and license any patents they have. This is like Norton Commander which was no longer useful once DOS was replaced by Windows.

  20. Re:Sort of unrelated on Blue Screen of Death for Mac OS X · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There was actually a number complaints about the BSOD and another about kernel panic screen savers that RedHat removed those from screen savers. If you search the fedora-list archives you should find the original emails complaining about it. ;-)

  21. Why Not a Billon Dollar Fine and Life? on Man Gets 7 Years for Software Piracy · · Score: 2

    I don't believe that putting a person in prison for seven years and make them pay an unrealistic fee is good public policy. I think that anyone convicted of a non-violent crime should receive no more then one year in prison and the fines should not exceed 10% of their expected lifetime income. Now we have to pay $250,000 to house this guy and he will never pay the fines against him becuase they are impossible to pay. I remmeber in the 90's a man accidently started a fire and the USFS gave him a bill of $100 million dollars. He filed for bankruptcy and moved out of the country.

  22. She may have had good reason to on P2P Defendant Destroys Evidence, Case Defaults · · Score: 1

    If she had something incriminating on her HD that could have put her in prison she may have had a good reason to destory the data on it.

  24. What is the point? The media will alert more... on DHS to Send Widespread Alerts · · Score: 1

    Any time there is any emergency the local and national media are all over the story before the government even know what the hell is going on. Another stupid government program.
