  1. What are the 2-tier problems? on Vonage Files Regulatory Complaint Over QoS Premium · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Does anyone know of any website that enumerates the problems that would be caused by a two-tiered internet?

  2. Xara LX on GIMP Not Enough for Linux Users? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Since we're on a similar subject I'd like to take this moment to plug Xara LX, a cool and Free graphics program for Linux/Mac.

  3. Re:Only six hours at Mach 2 on Successful Supersonic Jet Launch · · Score: 2, Informative

    After you wait another century for it to be built. The Blackbird pilots (~ Mach 3) wore a rather complex suit to stay alive, it got up to several hundred degrees (F) in the cockpit. The cooling system needed for a Mach 3 or (or 5!) passenger (businessmen in thin shirts) would be ridiculously large/heavy, if even possible.

  4. Tokyo Express on Successful Supersonic Jet Launch · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is the ultimate dupe...the "Tokyo Express" was conceived in the late 60s, IIRC. The US Gov't offered plane builders a million dollars per mach number in hopes of having a supersonic, near orbital plane get from New York to Tokyo in a few hours. It never got done.
    Or as Ben Rich, former head of the Skunk Works, said it wouldn't matter if it was a billion dollars per mach number.

  5. Re:Army of the Twelve Monkeys? on Researchers Reconstruct 1918 Flu Virus · · Score: 0

    Just about the same security as around a US ICBM "Launch" button.

  6. Re:Hibernating on Hibernation on Demand · · Score: 0

    Uh, 25 1/4 hours. Don't mind me, the drugs should kick in soon.

  7. Re:Hibernating on Hibernation on Demand · · Score: 0

    At least for more than 26 hours!

  8. Re:Experience is King on Human Hibernation on the Horizon? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Doesn't that make you a horrible candidate, because you're immune?

  9. What agreement on We're Open enough, Says Microsoft · · Score: -1

    What does the agreement say?

  10. Re:licenses on CDDL Project Leader on the CDDL · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Should at 16 year old be allowed to drive a bus or semi after showing they can parallel park, of course not. Same goes here, different licenses suit different needs, now quit yer bitching.

    2 semis hauling furniture, no matter what type of furniture or cab design, require the same licence to use.

  11. Re:MPL-style license? try LGPL. on CDDL Project Leader on the CDDL · · Score: -1

    Good point, but maybe the licence isn't the problem. It smells like someone is trying to get free labor on their OS.

  12. Re:Sharp? on 3D Flat Panel With No Glasses · · Score: -1

    Thay announced 3D screens 1 1/2 years ago, IIRC.

  13. I think the main dowsideis... on BBC Apologizes To Who Star · · Score: -1

    Now the good Doctor has one less reincarnation at his disposal, which could limit the life of the series / series reincarnations if they didn't want contradictions.

  14. Re:The NDP isn't in power. on Anti-DMCA Petition in Canadian Parliament · · Score: -1
  15. Re:Woo Waterloo!! on 29th ACM Intl. Programming Contest Results · · Score: -1

    And I'm a Carleton student proficient in firebombing. Get ready.

  16. Re:Advertisements! on PDF Tracking On the Way · · Score: -1

    Maybe not ads...

    The right to read

  17. Re:Sad Thing on USB Fundue Set · · Score: -1

    Use both and you can power the new microwave, but that hasn't been announced yet.

  18. Re:Waiting. . . on USB Fundue Set · · Score: -1

    I'm waiting for the USB Deep Fryer, thank you very much.

    You don't have to wait, soon ways to overclock your fundue set will be popping up on pirate sites everywhere.

  19. The internet _has_ changed on Government Finishes Internet Study -- 7 years late · · Score: 0, Insightful

    During the course of the study many new trends (like P2P) have been created/gained major popularity, making an up-to-date report hard to publish.

    Maybe it would have been better for them to release it in small chunks.

  20. Re:alright! on Adobe Reader 7.0 Coming to Linux · · Score: -1

    I think you wanted to say:
    yes, but does it run in GNU/Hurd?

  21. Re:I'd rather use xpdf on Adobe Reader 7.0 Coming to Linux · · Score: -1

    I suppose there might be a fix around for that? Anyone?

    Yeah, putting more time and work into the xpdf code.

  22. Re:Wow, a .6% lead on UK Officially The Most Hacked Country · · Score: -1

    What I find it interesting is that a country with 1/4 the US's population and with a roughly equivalent standard of living represents a roughly equivalent percentage of the world's hacked PCs

    It seems to be similar with Canada, a 5% share with 1/10 the population of the US.

  23. Re:Buy them a Mac on Best Live Linux For Christmas Giving? · · Score: -1

    Buy them a Mac

    Or just give them a briefcase full of money. Same "WOW" factor, less expensive.

  24. Re:pow pow on New Video Game Recreates Kennedy Assassination · · Score: -1

    a bush version wouldn;t come out for several years or decades after he's been shot. if you'd like to speed up the release date then you won't even need to pay a game company.

  25. Re:My question is... on New Video Game Recreates Kennedy Assassination · · Score: -1

    no, you pay $10 to practice shooting him as many times as you like and to get 10 scored chances to shoot him.
