    so a little guy takes a big guy to court in order to get info needed to squash an even littler guy.

  2. Re:sure dots are useful, but unnecessary on Dotless Top Level Domains? · · Score: 1

    the idea is not ok, it requires every DNS server to have access to a table of every .* that is registered. the current system is stressed enough with each TLD resolving differnt and only needing a small central repository of TLD's

  3. Re:Chocolates.com on Dotless Top Level Domains? · · Score: 1

    because it would break DNS horribly. it requires a single group of centalized servers be looked at to resolve any domain name rather than just to resolve a new TLD. the entore point of the current sytem of URL's with a tld is to avoid this kind of crap.

    well since the sytem would be running massive pipes all around the country there is enough of an infrastructure investment to justify some of the desert areas having distillers installed

    i would love to have one of them i don't personally care about the sound. i have NEVER seen one get clogged by anything remotely belonging in a toilet, not even small amounts of paper towels.

    if some way were devised to reduce harm from contamination, perhapse using excess floodwater for irrigation and other non-drinking non-bathing purposes such a system would be a great idea, possibly use passive solar distillation to convert a percentage into drinking water

    without the oil trap used in the no fluch models do you have any idea how bad that would stink. even with just one use after a few minutes urine starts to smell pretty bad.

  8. Re:Get your $#!^ together on To Flush Or Not To Flush · · Score: 1

    you can't use flood waters for consumption, far too contaminated often with things that require distillation not simple filtration or treatment to make safe to drink. unless YOU want to be drinking gasoline and motor oil with your water

  9. Re:uh, low flush toilets are often REQUIRED... on To Flush Or Not To Flush · · Score: 3, Informative

    IIRC the high pressure public toilets use less water but are not used in homes because they require higher capacity source pipes for a powerful burst and because they are noisy.

    that is what setting an override bit is for. if you want the system to be able to store and output "impossible" values for a type of stored data allow for override. don't just stuff it into the system or set the system to allow all "impossible" data

  15. Re:A helpful guideline: on DMCA Abuse Widespread · · Score: 1

    without an opressive government the corporations wouldn't have a stick to wield against the people.

    oppressive copyright laws: enforced by the government

    unfair contracts and noncompete clauses:enforced by the government

    prohibition of drugs that can be easily produced by an individual:enforced by the government

    about the only corporate misbehaving i can think of that isn't enfoced by the government's guns is executive looting, but even they are protected from riot/mob killing by the government.

  16. Re:They used Linux 2.6 kernel on Bandwidth Challenge Results · · Score: 1

    yea i noticed that after posting, went to do some research on openDX and it seems to be completely different in purpose from openGL.

  17. Re:They used Linux 2.6 kernel on Bandwidth Challenge Results · · Score: 1

    The use of OpenDX because (apparently) OpenGL is "just too damn slow" was interesting - but if OpenDX is so damn good, why hasn't anyone maintained the code in the past three years? (I'd love to see OpenGL being given some serious competition, but that won't happen if the code is left to rot.)

    Perhapse openDX is significantly more complex to write but executes more efficiently for the job at hand.

    go in with hidden cameras recording and broadcasting on the web, get a friendly municipality to loan out a "Live" unit. and set up the test to fire off a shiatload of "unauthorized" tests right at the end and post them online instantly.

    beyond that, LAME increases demand for hardware that plays mp3 files. more demand for mp3 players means more money for Thomson. going after free mp3 encoders just makes more people use the built in "free" wma encoder and thomson makes no money off wma.
