  1. Re:Should the DOJ get involved? on Transmeta And AMD To Hook Up? · · Score: 1

    yes, i think janet reno should send in some troopers to shoot up amd. no really. this is a troll right? its pretty good. i hope lots of people buy it and write dissertations about why doj shouldnt go after them.

  2. bad movies influential? on 50 Least Influential Movies · · Score: 1

    city of angels is definately the worst movie of all time, but its probably more influential than say, funny farm (chevy chase)

  3. Re:Jeebus! on Groening Says The Simpsons Movie Planned · · Score: 1

    i want one of those jesus fishes for my car, but i want it to say jeebus

  4. Re:We sighn away copyright when turning it in.. on 95 (thousand) Theses (for sale) · · Score: 1

    no work any college student does belongs to them. it always reverts to school

  5. Re:Two words... on 0.01 Micron Process? · · Score: 1

    handhelds, cellphones, battery life could be greatly extended using lvds and this type of size reduction

  6. Re:Why 10 to 15 Years? on 0.01 Micron Process? · · Score: 1

    this technology would more likely be used for cell phones, etc, not desktop computers if theyre just now making a transistor on this scale, i would guess more than 10-15 years. most large companies are using 5 year old technology, and this is something that would require a lot more changes than redesigning stuff from 5v to 1.8v

  7. Re:are you on crack? on Pentium III 1.13Ghz: The Real Story · · Score: 1

    youre right, hes on crack. the real thing thats going to hurt them is when superscalar fails and vliw wins out. as for rambus, technically it is slightly superior (according to toms hardware)

  8. Re:Mixed feelings on Electronic Signatures And Citizen's Initiatives? · · Score: 1

    But OTOH this can also be used to fool the gullible and insecure into supporting legislation that, through the intricacies of legalise, says one thing whilst meaning another. And unless you're a trained lawyer how are you going to be able to separate the real from the fake?

    no different than paper

  9. Re:And me without my can of 'Troll-B-Gone' ... on Clinton's First Internet Address To The Nation · · Score: 1

    vote for ralph nader, he is the one candidate who would never pander to big business or the right wing nazis. his track record as an american citizen is outstanding.

  10. Re:HDs Lost on Slashback: Secrecy, Toyware, France · · Score: 1

    they were found in a secure area, in a room that had already been searched. they werent misplaced, and they werent remove by 'lab attendants'.

  11. Re:Air Force Story on When Background Checks Go Wrong... · · Score: 1

    yea. sometimes you gotta wonder how they know this stuff

  12. Re:What about transmeta? [Totally OT] on Does 'Open Source' Have To Mean 'Free'? · · Score: 1

    do you really think those companies are gonna abandone what theyre doing and start shipping crusoe copies? and what about people who need hardware specs to make additional hardware or drivers or whatever?

  13. city of angels on The Battlefield Earth Contest · · Score: 1

    city of angels is the worst movie ever. not ishtar, or waterworld. waterworld is dozens of times better than city of angels, which is the lamest, most boring, pathetic movie ever. i havent seen battlefield earth yet though, so i cant compare the two

  14. Re:Sigh! on Microsoft Quickies · · Score: 1

    you know, cigarette companies, gun makers, and pharmaceutical companies all get tax breaks (big ones anyway) on the land they own. and they can rip people off without being hold personally responsible because corporations are basically outside of the law.

  15. Re:Kook? on Thus Spake Stallman · · Score: 1

    If commercials on television don't revulse you, if you can't see the social conditioning inherent in modern advertising, if the idea that someone might tatoo themselves with the NIKE symbol does not make you ill and sad, then you're already lost.

    OK, so to promote freedom, would you ban these commercials? Or just put out restrictions on what can or can't be said on TV? Or on their shirt? 'Social Conditioning' as used by anti-business zealots, could mean virtually any kind of persuasion. So while RMS is to be loved for advertising his development model, Nike should make people ill and sad for doing the same thing?

    the problem is that people dont know they are being conditioned or brainwashed or whatever. most people dont even realize it

  16. Re:What people should do..auto-responder on Spammers Hit Wireless Phones · · Score: 1

    except for the email doesnt go anywhere because the reply to is fake

  17. Re:Motorola for real time, not Athlon or PIII! on Which Processor Is Best For Real-Time Computations? · · Score: 1

    a 68k for realtime? no i dont think so. try a dsp chip. thats why this is a moronic question. you want dsp chips for real time stuff, not anything these people are talking about. cs people dont know shit even though they like to think they do

  18. why the industry fears this on Feedback: Who Owns Ideas · · Score: 1

    everybody knows most of todays pop musicians dont have much talent. younger people (teenagers) buy cds because the music is crammed down their throats so much, they think they like it. if people could listen to mp3s, you would only buy cds of good music, that you like. older people (ones with money) would buy cds they like to support the artist. the industry is scared because it will be mostly teenagers who pirate stuff. this is there biggest market, and the one they brainwash into buying backstreet boys.

  19. Re:SCO Skunkware on SCO Reorganizes, Issues Profit Warning · · Score: 1

    maybe a play on skunkworks, of lockheed martin fame. they do r&d

  20. Re:eMoney on RMS writes to Tim O'Reilly about Amazon · · Score: 1

    they lose money on purpose. that way they pay less taxes. accounting decisions can dictate wheter you see what looks like a profit or a loss. all the money they lose is money they spent setting up infrastructure. do you really believe they lose money selling books? and somebody cant just start a business and put them out of business, they are the 'brand' name that is out there. certainly theyre not going to dominate for all time, but they hold a unique advantage which, if they press now, theyll be really well off. so they are. but what they are doing (the patent stuff) is unethical. they arent idiots. just bastards

  21. sounds like a good business to get in on Who is the Best Registrar? · · Score: 1

    lots of unhappy consumers

  22. Re:Define "Average Guinness Drinker" on Bearded Drinkers Lose Guinness · · Score: 1

    you actually lose quite a bit in the moustache if you dont keep it trimmed. then you have 'foam moustache', and if the beard wasn't enought to scare people, foaming at the mouth probably will be

  23. Re:From a lawyer.. on Apple Forces Aqua Themes Off themes.org · · Score: 1

    cant they just claim it as an advertisement?

  24. Re:Human Condition... on The Regulon · · Score: 1

    i haven't had the oppurtunity to meet a lot of ghetto crack brothers. i have on the other hand been exposed to 20 years worth of rednecks. and my experience has been that they're stupid.

  25. Re:Human Condition... on The Regulon · · Score: 1

    i don't know there have been really smart people sort of consistently thoughout the past couple millenium (is that modern history). newton, gallileo, copernicus, da vinci, einstein, feynman...i don't think i believe that the gulf is increasing but then again there's no way of measuring what the 'stupidest person alive's intelligence is. i don't really agree about the ceo statement, i understand your feelings but most of them are more hurt by conflicting interest than lack of intelligence (what poor leaders lack is more likely vision) i tend to think stupid people are the racist rednecks, hollywood types, and of course, 99% of people under the age of 18. even if you think you're smart when you're a teenager chances are you aren't as close to as smart as you think you are. i see now in hindsight that i wasn't.
