  2. Re:Is this really a crime? on Diebold Whistle-Blower Charged With Felony Access · · Score: 1
    He's accused of breaking the law... If we feel that the evidence shows beyond a reasonable doubt in our minds that a crime has been committed, it's our job as a criminal prosecutor to file a case. No it is not. It is your job to prosecute if the following criteria are met:
    1. There is sufficient evidence against the person in question.
    2. It is in the public interest to prosecute.
    You should e-mail them. I'm pretty sure they don't read slashdot.

    It's not people like you complaining though. It's the millions of people who never played Nintendo or the like suddeny having to use their thumbs.

    Excuse me? The Airlines have functioned fine? Absolutely laughable. How many companies have declared bankruptcy, or arranged deals with the government to bail them out of monsterous debt? True it's not "run" by the federal government, but when they start paying the check like that, I'm sure they get a few things done their way. The airline industry is a poor choice for an example. Lax security for years, and now long waits at the airport because they are unprepared, unwilling, and unable to transition to this new model efficiently. People NEED to fly in this day and age. If the airlines don't listen to cusotmers, there really isn't much else to turn to. Tell me, what is fine about a company that doesnt NEED to listen to it's customers? Sounds like cable and telephone providers... and we all know how good they are.

    Maddog? I hate that name. I hate it, you hear? Nobody calls me "Maddog", especially not some duded-up, egg-sucking gutter trash.

    BZZZZT! Thanks for playing! Here's your consolation prize:

    BZZZZT! you are a dumbass.
    from your own effing link:

    Conclusion

    There is no clear answer to the question "Is glass solid or liquid?". In terms of molecular dynamics and thermodynamics it is possible to justify various different views that it is a highly viscous liquid, an amorphous solid, or simply that glass is another state of matter which is neither liquid nor solid.

    That's all zooming is. The other lenses are to re-flip the image so that its not upsidedown and backwards.

  14. Re:Tell me again on Will Next-Gen Consoles Kill Off PC Gaming? · · Score: 1
    never mind reating the FA, you didnt even read the damned description!
    The bottom line is that console manufacturers often heavily subsidize their new machines, swallowing huge losses up front in hopes that they'll make it all back selling games..
  15. Re:Which skills? on IBM and Red Hat Offer College Prep · · Score: 1

    IBM develops and uses AIX, a UNIX operating system. Such exposure would be enough, in conjunction with linux, to introduce them to the *nix world.

  17. Re:3 Wrongs make a Left on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1

    High school government is a popularity contest because they have absolutly no value at all. Student governments hold no power whatsoever over an administration and hold no cards in negotiations. So what's left? popularity.

    As for your mother, (hahaha this is not a your mother joke) It's true there are people out there like this. But if every single vote really counted, there would be alot more pressure to expose issues. I really think that given this initiative public services like NPR would become very active in educating america. Your mother's choice in cancdidates is alarming. And my only remark is that if it were my mother saying that to me, I would tell her she is just as big of a dumbass as the asshat that she is voting for.

    Then at least it is out in the open. And awareness campaigns would be come more effective.

    It is so much harder to buy the unwashed masses than it is to buy a politician.

  20. Re:Michael Moore... on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1

    No, I'm certainly sure it's possible though. And it is a completly unbiased observation.
    Just as michael moore was able to hype his movie by exagerating the problems with disney, the GOP can hype their cause by DDOSing their own servers.

    You say no vote/no voice. But my voice is being drown in a sea of democrats.

    I never said I wasn't going to vote, I am. But you can't just sit back and wonder why america's youth is so alienated from the political process...

    When the candidates lie, exaggerate and degrade each other... and on top of all that, your vote doesnt count for shit, how could you NOT feel alienated?

  22. Re:Michael Moore... on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1

    You do realize that would be the easiest thing for the GOP to do? DDOS their own servers and claim it was a terrorist group. That would get more media than the website on it's own...

    Tell me sir, what difference will my vote make in MA? I would vote for Kerry, but do you think Kerry would EVER lose this state?

    The electoral college is garbage.

    This IS nothing more than flamebait and at a score of (currently 1) yes, it is overrated. I hope your adivce to the moderators will be taken as serious. I know I would mod you down if I had points today.

    Your mistake?

    This little "stunt" is about as pathetic as anything I've ever heard of... and is just a glowing indication of the inability of the left to engage in the political process in any meaningful way.


    Trash.

    Leave that out and your point is in much better standing.
