  1. Re:What reference do you wish to pursue? on SCO Announces Product Line Updates · · Score: 1

    So, there are no more original ideas - right? Sounds like he was ahead of his time to me - All the lefties are masturbating to Richard Clarke - It seems that he was on the same page with Orrin. When you apply the same viewpoint to BOTH sides - it is harder to make blanket statements.

  3. Re:There is a lot of competition in Utah... on SCO Announces Product Line Updates · · Score: 1

    I'm curious as to why there has been no "flamebait" mods on this one... Perhaps if you posted some links which backed up your screed.

    I for one welcome our new Mormon overlords.

  5. Excellent Distro!!! on Mandrakelinux 10 Now Available To All · · Score: 5, Informative

    I have upgraded from Mandrake 9.2 and I can say that this is the finest Linux distro made today. I bought Suse 9.1 and checked it out for a while; but went back to Mandrake. I am a club member and as such can easily install realplayer, flash, and Java right from pre-compiled rpms. URPMI keeps me coming back!

  6. Ounce of prevention... on Large-Scale Paper-To-Digital Conversion? · · Score: 0

    This whole problem could be eliminated if these papers were put into PDF as soon as they are created. That said; I would explore solutions from the legal profession - they have a lot of things that do this.

    Who modded this "Interesting"? This is a hilarious joke! http://members.aol.com/IDICPage/Catspaw.html

  8. Less-than-forthright fees on Telecom Carriers Use Deceptive Advertising · · Score: 0

    These addtional charges represent the "less-than-forthright taxes" levied on the telecommunications industry by the Federal Government. I called and asked about it one time. One of them is Gore's "I invented the Internet" tax.

  10. Insert mine in my Penis on RFID Implants for Spanish Revelers · · Score: 0

    Then I'll be looking for a "slide card in slot" sign. And yes, I DO want a receipt.

  11. The day is saved on Using GPUs For General-Purpose Computing · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now I finally have a use for the 20 Voodoo 2 cards I have in a box in the basement. Now I can have my very own supercomputer. I just need some six pci slot motherboards.... Instant cluster!

  12. My late wife on What Happens To Your Data When You Die? · · Score: 0

    When my wife was killed in a traffic accident in 1998 I had the unhappy task of cleaning up her computer. I still have her docs (she was a teacher) and her website and whatnot. I don't know about other people's data; but for me the thing that hit home was her website which was one of those late '90's "This is the stuff I think is cool" kind of sites that basically was full of pictures and thoughts about her favorite shows and entertainers. It is almost like she wrote it to be remembered by. As for myself, I guess I had never considered the idea; I really don't think that anything I have would be on interest to anyone.

  13. Re:Keep it up, Europe on Growing Teeth with Stem Cell Technology · · Score: 0

    >>How do you know? http://tinyurl.com/2gxt6 Here is the poll question: "Stem cells are the basic cells from which all of a person's tissues and organs develop. Congress is considering whether to provide federal funding for experiments using stem cells from human embryos. The live embryos would be destroyed in their first week of development to obtain these cells. Do you support or oppose using your federal tax dollars for such experiments?" The results were: Support - 24%, Opposed - 70%, Don't Know and Refused - 6%. Further, only 18% supported "all stem cell research" while 67% supported "only adult stem cell research." >But I'm sure a lot of them will gladly receive >new operations/medicines/treatments that were >made possible by stem cell research. For some people - you are right. This is a character issue.

  14. Re:Keep it up, Europe on Growing Teeth with Stem Cell Technology · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The USA is a representative democracy - fetal stem cell research is opposed by the majority of the population. Bush is not pushing an unpopular policy on the people. Different people have different ideas on what constitutes "moving forward". To them your "moving forward" on this line of scientific research is "moving backwards" on the rights of the unborn and the value of human life. Some of this is being pushed by companies that profit from abortion. There is a LOT of money there. Also a lot of the same people (not saying you are one of them) who fight against animal testing are in your camp. I find this disturbing.

  15. This could be frightning on Growing Teeth with Stem Cell Technology · · Score: 5, Funny

    I imagine that using this technique that they could grow a tooth anywhere, right? I got a joke in e-mail last week about vagina's with teeth - I could only get to sleep that night by dismissing it as an impossibility. Now what? I'm suffering some serious shrinkage here - tell me it isn't so... Snapping - be careful what you wish for.

  16. The things you could do with that... on How Many Google Machines, Really? · · Score: 0

    With that much computer power at their disposal they could do some cool things - maybe some sort of distributive computing thingie or big database of some kind. Of course they would have to network all those systems togther - that could be expensive. Imagine how much a 80,000 seat license for lantastic would cost!

    It is now 2004. This is a operating system from 1998. WTF? In other news, I have finally developed fixes for the 1946 Packard Station wagon's carburator issues. Anyone driving a 1946 Packard on a daily basis can get the kit from me. Details will be given on a headline on /.
