  1. It just makes them really thirsty on Parasites That Can Control Insect Minds · · Score: 0

    Duh!

  2. Re:Evolution? Rather the opposite... on Next Step in Human Evolution · · Score: 0

    The reason is quite simple. Humans aspire to be more than they are. It is the reason we develop new technologies, and spend our time diving into research endeavors. We want to be more, and the easiest way is to simply evolve. It takes no effort, as opposed to active self-improvement. It's more of the give-me-a-pill-to-be-better mentality.

  3. You can't sue the government on Patents Role in US/AU Gov't Use of Open Source? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    They tell you this in high school criminal law. The US Government has immunity from lawsuits unless it waives its immunity. In other words, it's immune to lawsuits. Google, and paying attention in class, are your friends.

  4. Re:how are these two factoids even related? on Mozilla 1.8b1 Released, Firefox Growth Slowing · · Score: 0

    sadly, I wasn't modded down. After making only 4 or 5 posts on slashdot i've already got "bad karma", and my posts start at 0. I think I must just end up posting on days when less intelligent people get mod points. I personally think that we should only be able to mod up.

  5. how are these two factoids even related? on Mozilla 1.8b1 Released, Firefox Growth Slowing · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Okay, so Mozilla 1.8b1 is released. Dandy. Now, In the same article they point out that FF's growth rate has gone down a smidge. They also give no direct evidence that either is related. This looks to me like the way most propaganda is worded, making you fear one thing by falsely relating it to another. FUD. Next!

  6. GL? on ATI Introduces FireGL V5000 · · Score: 0

    Does this mean that it's going to be more Linux compatible? (openGL)

  7. Can you say worthless? on 6 Firms Form Holographic Versatile Disc Alliance · · Score: 2, Funny

    Who on earth needs a terabyte of storage? And more importantly, Why would we want it on a non-hard disk. The massive storage would be so much better on a hard disk. I can't imagine wanting to carry a terabyte with me on a disk!

  8. First Post! on TiVo Moves to Bypass Cable · · Score: 0

    If they are no longer going to support cable directly, how do they plan to muster any support? Can't the cable companies just encode the signal to prevent Tivo from recording int?

  9. You know why they can't find sco's "stolen source" on IBM Tells SCO Court It Can't Find AIX-on-Power Code · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Because it never existed in the first place. They are just making things up now, and there is no reason to believe anything they say, especially with all the egg coating on their integrity.

  10. The adventures of n64 on Abused, But Working Hardware Stories? · · Score: 1

    My nintendo 64 has been through a lot at my hands:
    three days after i bought it i dropped it from a second-story window. It was then sat on by my friend Kyle the next day.
    after this my little brother poured juice (apple) on it, and it was then left in a car for three days in the summer.

    it still works fine (thank you nintendo)!

  11. the government is breaking the rules... on Web 'Rules' Changing? · · Score: 1, Informative

    just look at that page, there's at least fifty options right there. maybe 12 or 13 is okay, but fifty? crikey, they probably didn't follow all their rules when making that page!

  12. all i can say to this garbage is on L.A. County Bans Use Of "Master/Slave" Term · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    jesus f'ing christ.
    go stick a niggardly accountant's schlong in your ear, and take your politically correct garbage back to mexico where it belongs. damn LA beaners...
