  1. There is no magic pill on Plugin Lets Users Turn IE into Firefox · · Score: 1

    There is no magic pill that can turn a body wracked with disease into a new person. you may patch it up a bit, you can even paint if up to make it look real nice, but underneath you still got the same sick body.

    What WOULD be nice, is a Firefox extension that could completly fool those few ancient IE only holdout websites thats will not let you advance to the next page because you are not using IE 5+

  2. Researcher bias?!?!? on Scientist Says Most Scientific Papers Are Wrong · · Score: 1

  3. Totally sweet. on Apple To Unveil iPod Cellphone Next Week? · · Score: 1

    OMG sweetness, I love ipods! I dont have one beacuse its too expensive but they are so cool!!! are these going to be 49.99???

  4. Capitolism on Communications Infrastructure No Match for Katrina · · Score: 1

    AS a capitolist, i would have to say that one of our downsides is that we dont "do it right the first time", because its not financially expediant.

    Cell Towers: Built not for emergancies but to "cover" as many people as possible to make as much money as possible.

    Communication wires: IT would cost way to much money, to dig, and plant wiring deep underground. Since nobody would profit from it, and since the government will probably bail out the communication companies so they can put up the same wires above ground, if wires do not become obsolete in the next hundred years, the same problem will occour.

    Power Grid: Ancient power grid, and would cut into power companies profits to upgrade to a failsafe system, (much like the above communications) or underground nukes, and wires.

  7. Your rights online? on File System Forensic Analysis · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Shouldnt this be catagorized as your rights online? I would say a book on how to snoop on people hard drives and see what they deleted is pretty privacy invasive? I could be wrong....

  8. Whats the beast gonna use for a mark now? on The End of the Bar Code · · Score: 1

    If the barcode is going away, what will the anticrist use for his mark of the beast? And worse, what will happen to all those fear mongering video's that try to second guess Gods word?

    For shame people... for shame....

  9. Why???? on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: 1

    Why do I want yet another IM again?

    gaim works nicely managing the windows for the different IM's but its another username, another password, and another set of friends who dont have Yahoo, MSN or AIM, etc, etc, etc.

  13. Biased on Winemaker Drinks To Linux · · Score: 1

    Well of course the creator of a leading oss Windows emulator for Linux is gonna like Linux, and make claims about good support.

    We need good impartial testimony.

  14. Re:"Linux-like" on Sun's Linux Killer Examined · · Score: 1

    It was kinda funny. A lot of Solaris x86 drivers are distributed as source. What no GCC! To download GCC, you need a nic card, but the nic card needs drivers, which come as source! Ahhhh!

    I realize that you are too young to remember this, but before p2p we had Cassette taps. Go to your mommies house and check the drawers or boxes in the attic. you will find lots of little "tape" type disk looking thingies that have music on them. Before p2p people bought cassettes and pirated music by hand..... ahh those were the days.

  24. Stupid people do more. on Recordable Media a Bigger Threat Than Filesharing? · · Score: 1

    I know people who dont know what an enter key is on a computer, and have CD cases full of burned cds.

    Also, you dont need a computer to dupe, just a cdburner.

    Yup, But I really dont know how they can track it, its not like you can login to someones house and see who is bringing cd's over to be dubbed. Are they estimating?

    1. Sales are down, so they must be piracy afoot.
    2. Take the ratio of Geeks to "normal" people.
    3. If the ratio of "normals" is greater than geeks, then the majority of piracy must be hand traded media.
