  1. Re:This makes more sense than India on One Laptop Per Child Gets 4 Million Laptop Order · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It could help the parent of said child know that the child has measles and get them to the hospital.

  2. Re:checklist on Another Pass at the Personal Jetpack · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a James Bond game.

  3. Re:English as She is Written (in India) on It's OK to keep AIMing · · Score: 1

    It is more likely due to their natural pronuciation from their native languages.

  4. Re:Problem With US in General on Common Sense Beats Out MN Games Law · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I believe you have that wrong my friend. America seems to be apopulated by a alrge number of well meaning, Chrtistian type people who are ignorant on some of the darker truths of their country and life in general. Politicians, to their own disgust I bet, need votes, a majority of votes no less. So they structure all that they can to gain said voters favor. These voters, being the way they are, do not see through these guise.

    Personally, I personally opose gay marriage, for example. Wether it should be legislated for/agsist is another matter.

  5. Re:I have read... on Vinod Khosla Talks Ethanol · · Score: 1

    I think this entire post could be summaried with a little experiment.

    Get to tissues (facial tissue). Crumble each seperately. Poor a teaspon of ethanol onto one, and a teaspoon of an oil derivative onto the other. Ingite both. Attempt to hold both in the palm of ones hand. Observe

    Ofcourse, do at possiblity of personal injury.

  6. Parents need to get their children to read more on It's OK to keep AIMing · · Score: 1

    I do not claim to be a fan of books (unless they are the O'rielly type) but I read my fair share of Hardy Boys and the likes in my younger youth. I can speak at abbreviated as msot on IM, but I dare say my grammar is in no danger. (my spelling still sucks however).

  7. Re:UNLIMITED P0RN! and some serious comments on Digital Replicas May Change Games and Film · · Score: 1

    The movie S1m0ne comes to mind.

  8. Re:Goodbye on Cheyenne Mountain Shutting Down · · Score: 1

    BLASPHEMY. Teal is an Alien dammit.

  9. Re:how I lost respect for soldiers on Pentagon Monitors War Videos Online · · Score: 1

    Young men using government technology to be peeping tops: [ OK ]
    Slaughtering people from up above [ OK ]
    Soldiers killing for fun [ OK ]
    People having sex out doors [ BAD ]

    Interesting. Very interesting.

  10. Loyal fan on Paul Thurrott's WGA Woes Solved · · Score: 1

    What ever you think of the guy, you have to admit that he sure is a loyal fan. I'm prettty sure that had something of equivalent magnitude ocrrcured between some Linux distro and one of their users, said user would switch distro.

  11. Re:why on Fedora Welcomes Women to FOSS · · Score: 1

    Some assole is going to come around and say that you're trolling ignore them. Because you're right on point.

  12. Re:More government tax on corporations who outsour on Outsourced Call Centers Losing Feasibility? · · Score: 1

    But while I see your point, the problem with it is that you want to solve a near unsolveable problem. These big bang corporations have all the pull and more on the laws involved. Barring some mass revolution, I don't see anyone in the current "developed nations" enacting any law (taxes) that will seriously take the edge of their profits, regardless of how sleezy these profits are earned.

  13. I just don't get it on Microsoft to Charge for Office Beta · · Score: 1

    People complain that they rather Windows over OSS based OSes because of the regular need to contribute bug reports, etc. Yet people are willing to (regardless of the magnitude of the cost) to beta test a program which if they like they will have to pay for again, despite that in all likelyhood they already have an older version of the program, which they already paid for? But using a free product, and contributing to it (also for free) is too much of a hassel?

  14. Re:More government tax on corporations who outsour on Outsourced Call Centers Losing Feasibility? · · Score: 1

    I just don't see how you can have things both ways. The companies can sell outside the US but they can't hire outside the US? This is entirely a selfish outlook. Your statements implies that there are no benifits besides to the companies who do the outsourcing. The peopel getting the work are just as human as those losing it. If there is such a need for public money, tax the rich Americans, not the well of, I mean the filthy rich, esp. those who gained their wealth through questionable means. Like it or not, it is still one planet.

  15. Re:To Wii or not to Wii on Nintendo's Next-Gen Arsenal · · Score: 1

    That's all fine and dandy, but I want a Wii. Not a PS* not an XBOX*. I haven't bought any console, since the Gamecube, although I have played others. And I will happily hand over my hard earned cash to NOA.

  16. Re:did anyone else notice on Nintendo's Next-Gen Arsenal · · Score: 1

    I may be fat, but I am NOT lazy.

  17. Re:Sony v Microsoft? on Nintendo's Next-Gen Arsenal · · Score: 1

    Okay, I think you need to check you hosts file, you've obviously been coming to the wrong Slashdot.

  18. Re:Yet another way the poor kids get left out on House Passes Ban on Social Site Access · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be more traceable at the library since there would be me control over the "victim's" machine? Come to think of it, they should be setting up nets to catch these guys at the library if they are so bad.

  19. Interesting logic on OSS on Windows the Next Big Thing? · · Score: 1

    Consider set A = { linux users ) , set B = { Microsoft customers } , and set C = { religious geeks } . . . I think it is fair to say that (A intersect B intersect C) even though n(A intersect C) > 0 and n(A intersect C) less than n(B)

    Yes it is. Kinda depressing too.
