  1. Third camp on Anti-piracy Vigilantes Tracking P2P Users · · Score: 1

    It's interesting to see a third party pop up in a war between lawmakers and the internet underground. I don't see them getting a lot of sympathy seeing, as the've ticked off both groups.

    Sigh he's still not dead. Doing commericals for title loans. Also made it onto Conan late night show where he claimed he had his catch phrase copyrighted. Given how hard up he is for cash it's only a mater time before your CS Prof gets sued.

  11. Re:China on Glenn Urges Direct-to-Mars Trip · · Score: 1

    The only problem with this theory is that a lot of the compnents of said U.S. plan would most likely be manufactured in China, and programmed in India.

  12. Re:Wouldn't it be funny... on Mounting Evidence for Water on Mars · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    In the interest of time and space I'm going to ignore most of your troll and only address one of the issues you bring up, namely that the existance of extra terestrial life would immediately crush christianity. Ok first off , just becuase the Bible doesn't say something doesn't mean christians immediately say it doesn't exist. The Bible doesn't mention E.T.'s in one way or another therefore there is a possiblity they do exist. The great christain author C.S. Lewis dealy with the subject in great detail in his letters as well as the Sci-Fi series "Out of the Silent Planet". The gist of it was that God is a constant across the universe. Aliens may have a diffrent name and series of events that alowed them to realize his existance, i.e. their own bibilical history and consiquently thier own Bible. Of course this is all hypothetical... but i show's that Christianity could survive a alien discovery. All this being said, which religeous organizations are claiming with absolute certainity, that there is no alien life? My church never made this statment. I don't see how any Christian church can say it, and if it's not mentioned in the Bible in anyway it's not the churchs jub to say it.

  13. all laws are limits on 'Extreme' Web Sites Under Fire From UK Police · · Score: 1

    All laws are limits to personal freedom. Those limits are set arbitrialy by the government. This is how every society works. It sucks on many levels but the only alternative is anarchy.

  14. Re:Historical context on Orwellian Tech Support · · Score: 1

    "Sure there is. Learn to do something that an uneducated Indian worker CAN'T DO! Look, with all the advantages we have from growing up in America, if there is nothing you can do better than someone from a third world country, you don't deserve a job." The problem is most companies don't care if we can do it better they just want it cheaper. This creates higher stock prices and more bonus money for ceo's and members of the board. The companies then go bankrupt as people wont buy inferior products. The board walks away with the money made off the stock and we loose our jobs. The bottom line is outsourceing countries are being used irresponsibly to the determint of the U.S. economy.

  15. A risk at best on Scientists Claim They Cloned Humans · · Score: 1

    After exploreing this issue it's become clear to me that the exact moment when life begins is unclear at best. A fetus may or may not be human. Were just not sure. If where not sure then there's a chance it may be a human life. If there's a chance of it being a human life, is it right for us to gamble with it? We enact all kinds of laws to protect children from things that might harm them. Shouldn't abortion be treated the same way, as a potental threat, until we have definitive proof as to when life begins?

  16. Re:Unstoppable on A Review of Nanotech's Future · · Score: 1

    Just because your allergic to aspartame doesn't mean it's harmfull to the population at large. By your logic we should be banning milk and egg's as certain people have equally bad reactions to them.

  21. REDHAT FOREVER!!!!! on Recent Apt-Gettable Goodness From Ark, Conectiva · · Score: 1

  23. Re:Safety Issue on Wireless Street Lamps for Traffic Monitoring · · Score: 1
