  1. Re:I wonder... on Creative Labs GPLs dxr2 DVD Decoder Drivers · · Score: 1

    I would guess that's the case with the NDA.
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but if a 'trade secret' like CSS is broken without reverse engineering, thievery, etc, then it's no longer a 'trade secret'.
    This even close to right, Patent Lawyers?

  2. Re:Where Oil _is_ from. on Oil Isn't from Dinosaurs & Other Iconoclasms · · Score: 1

    I would have to agree. The amount of biomass drops something like 90% per trophic level... anyone got the real figure?

  3. Re:Old DNA is BAD on Wooly Mammoth Extracted Intact From Siberian Ice · · Score: 1

    Not only is temperature an issue, as suggested above, but one should also consider the sheer magnitude of this find. Even if the DNA is in pretty bad shape, they've probably got enough of it that it can somehow be replicated as whole chromosomes. Not that I'm aware of such a process. Not that I'm a biologist...

    Bah. Whatever

    Light a candle, they call it romantic. Light a city, they call it arson. Go figure.

  4. Re:"Linux installation is so hard!" on CNN Installs Linux · · Score: 1

    I have to agree. I have yet to get a win9x box up and running within 20 minutes of sticking in a cd.

  5. Re:why? on Economist Lester Thurow Calls for Internet Regulat · · Score: 1

    Legislative instinct is what I call it. Everbody has the instinct to muck things up, I propose, but most people are happy with a clean system that works well. However, there are those out there who feel the intense desire to make things more and more convoluted. Evidence? Taxes: gold piece -> current day. I rest my case.

  6. Re:Violation of 10th Ammendment on Internet Tax Moratorium Over? · · Score: 1

    How does "implied powers" apply to this?

  7. Re:Wow! on Evolution is a Myth in Kansas · · Score: 1

    I DO hope that's sarcasm, Chang

  8. Mac freaks on Cool Computer Cases Continue · · Score: 1

    How many Mac freaks do you know who have ever fixed that damn "?" in a box during startup? They allways call an IBM freak over to rip open the case and jiggle a few cables and respond triumphantly, "Flakey Hardware."

    -Ave atque Vale!

  10. Stupidity on MP3 Dead? What, Already? · · Score: 1

    I think it would be safe to assume this is the lower end of the spectrum of human intelligence, whatever that is...

  11. cramped spaces on Quest for Cases Continues · · Score: 1

    Solution: Build your own in a full tower: the 4 foot tall towers are imposing, roomy, and not so much more expensive than the smaller ones.

  12. Divx on How is DivX Doing · · Score: 1

    Divx is evil... the scourge of all good.

  13. Sony is right. on Sony to Sue Connectix · · Score: 1

    OK... I can see emulators as not being illegal... but MAKING MONEY off of it doesn't seem A)ethical, B)likely to be legal.
