  1. yawn whats new on Windows Cheaper to Patch Than Open Source? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Every time I read about another "paid by Billy G" report it always reminds me of the joke.. How many Microsoft engineers does it take to change a lightbulb. None Microsoft defines darkness as the new standard..

  2. Re:Obvious transhuman consequences left out on Artificial Retinas Bring Vision Back To The Blind · · Score: 1

    yes very true The same happens with language, if someone is never introduced to language skills before the age of four (4) they have little if any language skills for life. This is because the brain isnt a static organic device it adapts based on the enviromantal variables given to it. Another good example are PDA users, if you use a PDA for extended periods of time, to store information you normally have to remember, your brain adapts and reduces the resources given to lay down new memories for long term storage. So there will never be a cure for long term blindness, unless the inplants are either introduced at a young age, or are added as sight deprecates due to desease or age.

  5. GPL idiots on CherryOS Mac Emulator Resurfaces · · Score: 0, Troll

    Im reading some of the posts on the website and Im amazed how few people have a clue stick what the GPL is.. The GPL is a license and doesnt remove copyright at all in any way or form. Yep the code still belongs to the author and you cant just take it and use it as you wish because of the GPL because the GPL is a license it doesnt define copyright it defines usage. Some people are dumb some are just plain stupid then there's those other people, who have to be reminded to breath or they will die...

  6. HA HA!! on Companies Claim iTMS, iPod Patent Infringement · · Score: 1

    Well all those smart US mega companies now can only blame themselves. What most of these large software companies fail to understand is a legal weapon in your hands can also be a legal weapon in someone elses hands. Can't wait till the USA is paying billions in patent licensing fee's to off shore companies and the whole US software industry is stagnating in its own crap. I saw this comming years ago suprised it took so long.

  8. How it really works on Firefox Plugin Annodex For Searching Audio, Video · · Score: 5, Informative

    Ive actually seen this in action and most of you are right off track. This isnt a streaming only format nore is it a DVD media replacement. It s a interactive web based media format. Imagine your watching a lecture and during the lecture lest say "Open Source" is mentioned. The author can put a pop up link in the video stream with "Learn more about Open Source" click on the link and you get a short video about open source then it goes back to the main lecture. No getting stuck having to pause the video stream while you look up a term.

  9. Forward Sell the series on Enterprise Fans Buy Full-Page Ad In LA Times · · Score: 1

    In all this back and forthing Im suprised no one has thought of raising the funds through forward selling like they do on the stock market. Heres how it works.. I offer you the consumer the forward option of having first dibb's on the new "Enterprise Series" for a set sum. When all the funds ar raised productions starts. The upside is if the series sux everyones out a job because no one will forward buy the series so they have an even a bigger insentive to make the series work. This rasing the funs thing is just stupid in my books and is doomed to fail because its says to the producers "hai its a free ride just fill the episodes full of tech crap for the geeks.

  10. while in Sth Korea on Lying Makes The Brain Work Harder · · Score: 0

    Today in South Korea Steve Balmer from Microsoft was at a conference denouncing open source. But little did he know of the reason he was invited. Korean Man 1. wow we save lot of money on heating when Mr Balmer here. Korean Man 2. yeah he so full of crap, he have enough brain heat to end the ice age.

  11. You dont need batteries in a electric car on 230mph Electric Car · · Score: 1

    What most people miss when thinking about electric cars is the electrolyte can be a charged liquid. This allows the consumer to charge/refuel the electric car simply by flushing the old electrolyte out then replacing it with the now recharged electrolyte. You can recycle the electrolyte liquid that is flushed, and its a simple matter of testing the quality of the electrolyte your recycling so as to calculate the total refueling cost.

  12. Shoping Cart Wars on High-Tech Shopping Carts · · Score: 1

    Anouncer here we are folks at the 2004 shoping cart Wars finals, and our runner up finalists are Wal_Mart_Soul_Crusher and Shoping_Spree_ManiacII.Many of you may be wondering were the NASA teams trolley " "Evil_car_door_scratcher" went well they had to withdraw when there cart met an early demise due to budget cuts, when a wheel fell of in the parking lot due to it being installed backwards and then it drove in front of a SUV and was fatally destroyed. :-P

  13. Hydrogen is just as safe as petrol on BMW Shows Off World's Fastest Hydrogen Car · · Score: 1

    Its actually an old monomer that hydrogen was what caused the Hindenburg disaster. In fact three main factors caused the disaster none of them being Hydrogen.The first was the outer surface of the Hindenburg was painted with aluminum powder, for those not in the know aluminum is used as an accelerate in rockets. The second factor was static electricity built up on the outer covers mixed with the third factor water making the ropes between the outer sections conductive. So what happened was when the tether was earthed as the Hindenburg came in for the landing there was a massive static discharge this made the aluminum coating combustable and before you know it you have this horrible chain reaction. Also petrol is far from safe just add oxygen and keep it contained inside a hot container and you have a bomb just waiting to go off. Ive heard of cases were peoples families have gone up in flames with the kids in the car and the parent outside so petrol is far from safe.

  14. Its a total con on Microsoft To Share Office Source Code · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This isn't what it seems its really a fly trap in disguise. Anyone looking at this code will legally be tainted and will have allot of problems producing "open source code". I'm supprised it took Microsoft this long to figure out it could lock in people even more so buy showing them the source code with a big nasty shared source license/contract attached that removes all your rights as a programmer. Yep your now Bills, slave you have seen the forbidden ones true makings though shall not go to open source Nirvana thou shall always be my slave mwahahaha

  21. This happened in Sydney on Keyless Entries Fail In Las Vegas On Friday · · Score: 1

    I remember about a year ago there was a new radio station put to air and a whole bunch of garage door openers went nuts. Often people think that a radio signal only effects devices on the same fequency but what people forget is the "side band" stuff thats on a different frequency and can cause small signal devices to go nuts.
