    Already does.

  4. Who cares? on Experts Now Say JFK Bullet Analysis Was Wrong · · Score: 0, Troll

    Really. The guy's dead.

    What really matters in the whole affair is how the course of history was changed as a result of Kennedy's death, not whodunit. If anybody can prove one way or the other any of the vast number of theories about the event itself, kudos.

    But it won't change the fact of his death, or the results of it.

    Governments are generally thrilled when an event like this comes along. It opens avenues through public fear for instilling greater control over what remains any government's greatest adversary - the very people the government governs.

    The same is true of the cascade of events since 9/11.

    A great deal of time can be wasted grasping at straws while ignoring what's going on in plain sight. Those buildings fell down. Big deal.

    Now, we've effectively lost 6/10 of the Bill of Rights through expert manipulation of public fear. There's the real tragedy.

  5. Re:Don't fall into the trap on Microsoft To Dump 32-Bit After Vista · · Score: 1

    Unless you want it. I've got Debian Sid running on a Toshiba Satellite P105 w/Core Duo. Price. Wery, Wery Cheep. $600.00 US. Works great.

  6. Re:let them do a Notebook comparison and see ATI f on Tom's Hardware Reviews ATI and Nvidia on Linux · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yup, I agree. No comparison yet. I advise all my clients not to buy ATI. They will not respond to requests for support, and refuse to acknowlege any bugs. They disgust me.

  11. Re:Issues of running a Tor node on Tor Anonymity Network Reaches 100 Verified Nodes · · Score: 1

    "Do you want to help people commit crimes?" Nah, but I'm not going try to take away everybody's self evident right to privacy and due process through instilling fear in the populace, either. Governmental law enforcement needs to learn to work with the tools they have already have (which they have demonstrably not done to date), not force a police state down our throats. I refuse to give away a tool that can be used in areas in the world where state scrutiny of communication can have extremely dire consequences to a person who chooses to criticise their state, and attempts to peacefully organise resistance against said state. If we in the free world allow these rights and tools for freedom to be taken away, what hope do people in less advantaged areas of the world have?

    Can't post to slashdot using Tor, and a couple servers have been banned by slashdot entirely, for flooding the site.

  23. I hope these guys read Sun Tsu.. on Government Linux Gaming Supercomputer · · Score: 4, Interesting

    No wait, they do... General Norman Schwarzkopf said he never understood the true meaning of the word Byzantine as it applies to politics until he had taken command in the middle east. And he had studied the area EXTENSIVELY prior to his deployment there. These systems are modeling behavior of of crowds, soldiers in combat, "battlefield detainees", traffic patterns, weather, weaponry, supply lines, AND the political climate. The people playing these games ain't high school video gamers. They are retired or otherwise very experienced military personnel that advise the JCS. All of them are very well educated in the art of war, and it's drawbacks. That's why they're so quiet about it.

  25. Re:I know where this will go. on High-Tech Shopping Carts · · Score: 1

    Shopping carts were invented by a guy that wanted to allow his customers to load up more before they hit the checkout: ergo, spend more at each whack. that's why we have candy and such at the checkout: impulse buy. I don't think these "tools" will help the grocer turn a better profit... Greater losses due to theft and damage, the customer buying less on impulse.
