  1. Shows their capabilities on Virtualization Disallowed For Vista Home · · Score: 1

    An operating system running virtually won't "know" it...there is no way to enforce this dictum other than not supporting it, and we all know Microsoft's support sucks for home users anyway.

  2. Nuclear Fusion on Should Google Go Nuclear? · · Score: 1

    Last I heard nuclear reactions are the opposite of fusion reactions. Are they going nuclear or going fusion?

  3. Wierd on The I-Tech Virtual Laser Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I typed in slashdot.com but got deja-vu!

  4. Interesting on Mesons Flip Between Matter and Antimatter · · Score: 1

    Could this be used as a clock for faster computers? I've never heard of anything oscillating at such a fast rate.

  5. My opinion on Can Linux Pick Up Users Abandoning Win98? · · Score: 1

    I just upgraded my Suse 10.1 to the latest xgl/compiz, and personally I believe that it is so far advanced from Windows 98/ME/XP/2003/whatever, that it is destined to become the defacto desktop. Given the exponential changes I've seen on xgl/compiz in the last 3 months, I'd say 1 year for the most outstanding, productive desktop mankind has ever seen. My 2 cents.

  6. Ha, second best on Harvard Concludes Linux Will Remain Second Best · · Score: 1

    Well, Harvard's study is erred. The assumption to the article, "second best" is a false assumption. Nuf said.

  7. Great news on DRM Hole Sets Patch Speed Record For Microsoft · · Score: 1

    If this improvement continues, we can actually anticipate someday Microsoft actually writing code that doesn't have holes. I'll not hold my breath!

  8. Most sarcastic response ever on Steve Irwin Dead · · Score: 1

    Wow, I never saw this coming.

  9. Linux support from ATI=crap on ATI Releases Five New Radeons · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Trying to get ATI drivers to work with xgl/compiz is like pulling teeth. So until ATI releases new drivers with good xgl/compiz support, announcing new hardware is worthless.

  10. Not likely on YouTube to Offer Every Music Video Ever Created? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I never released mine, so they won't have every one.

  11. Don't think it will work on Apple's Leopard Strategy to Kill Microsoft and Dell? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    First: What is the actual differences with a Dell notebook? I have a E1705, and it's basically a Powerbook. The differences are so minor, they are superficial (in my opinion) Second: Everyone says Apple is a hardware company. Then why is Apple not releasing their OS as open source? They are actually a software company. Apple should sell the OS as a competator to Microsoft, and then they would have a large market to grow into. Anyone can make a Intel box. Geez.

  12. They'll make a killing on Lenovo Preloading SUSE Linux on ThinkPad · · Score: 1

    If they put XGL/Compiz on those machines, they will beat out Apple. Better buy some stock...

  13. I guess he's not looking then on The Future of Closed Source Software and Linux · · Score: 4, Informative

    "Lack of new exciting software"? Try xgl/compiz! It's the most exciting software I've seen since a windowing environment!

  14. Cover up! on President Bush Blocks NSA Wireless Tapping Probe · · Score: 0

    Impeachable offense!

  15. All hail our new zombie pig overlords! on Suspended Animation Tests Successful · · Score: 0

    All hail our new zombie pig overlords!

  16. Not possible or desired on A Closed Off System? · · Score: 0

    Without the ability to program the computer, it's usefulness would just go away. What if you want the computer to do something multiple times, telling it to do it more than once is by definition programming it, and as such violates the requirement presented. It just won't happen, the hardware would become a brick.

  17. Amazing on Virus Trackers Find Malware With Google · · Score: 0

    How many executables were not windows executables? Is this a suprise to anyone?

  18. Re:Boycott Google ;-) on Google Moves From Search To Inventor · · Score: 0

    You might want to cut the pills in half until you see your doctor again...

  19. Our leaders have failed us on NSA Had Domestic Call Monitoring Before 9/11? · · Score: 0

    There should be laws against our leaders lying to the public, uh, oh yeah, there are. It's just ignored by emporer George. At least we know his Dad is not proud of him.

  20. What, no microsoft? on New Top500 List Released at Supercomputing '06 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Its supprising that no microsoft systems are listed....

  21. Is anybody thinking? on Mobile Phones and Lightning a Lethal Mix · · Score: 0

    Nobody has other metal on them, such as rings, watches, metal buttons (Levi's), etc, the real risk is only cell phones? The fact that metal increases risk is one thing, equating it to only having cell phones is quite a streatch.

  22. Answer to the problem on Telecoms Facing $50 Billion Lawsuit for Wiretaps · · Score: 0

    Vote the basterds out!

  23. Silent prayer on Self-Heating Coffee Cans Recalled · · Score: 0

    Lets all hold hands today at 11:00 and prey not for world peace, but for Wolfgang puck's success in his endevors.

    "here's hoping the flaws can be 'patched' soon."

    Don't you think your being alittle crazy here? Have you heard of ice coffee?

  24. Well, not in this universe on NASA Achieves Breakthrough Black Hole Simulation · · Score: 0

    It's a fact that all matter has spin. A non-spinning black hole is contrary to this universe's physics.

  25. In other news on Hot Pepper Kills Prostate Cancer · · Score: 0

    85% of all cannibles state that people who participate in this study taste better!
