  1. Change of Motivations? on Bill Gates Interview w/ Spiegel · · Score: 0, Troll

    Now that he is getting older, could Bill Gates be starting to think...how could I give something back? Naaaahhhh! I should have never asked.

  2. What is AI? on Artificial Intelligence for Computer Games · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Is Artificial Intelligence kind of like when I use to Chessmaster to beat people I play against online? check out my new Mortgage Forums

  3. Under Currents on Bizarre Deep Sea Fish Dredged Up By Tsunami · · Score: 1

    I can't see how the Tsunami would have affected undercurrents. Just what sort of reports have their been about sea life being affected? http://www.david-duval.com/

  4. This is nothing on Feds Convict Warez Dealer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Show me where people from the political donor class who cheated on millions of dollars in taxes got 15 year sentences. It just about never happens.

  5. Public Library on TorrentBits.org and SuprNova.org Go Dark · · Score: 1

    I guess I'll have to get my movies for free at the public library. Hopefully, before long the libraries will start offering downloads.

  6. Google Sandbox Effect on Google Battles Fraudulent Clicks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What I think is bigger news, but less known is the Google Sandbox Effect. It seems that Google may be broken, because they are no longer able to calculate PageRank across 8 billion pages. They stopped doing their monthly updates earlier this year. Some people think the Sandbox Effect is a result of Google being broken, and some people think it is a tool to drive up Adwords clicks.

  7. Consistent over Time on MSN Search Roundup · · Score: 1

    They must prove themselves to have good search results consistently over a period of time. And, of course, if they spent say $1 Billion on marketing, that would help.

  8. About a year after it comes out on When Is A Good Time To Upgrade? · · Score: 1

    Things are always more expensive when they are new. Why spend the money on 3.4 Ghz today, when you can get it for probably 1/4 the cost a year from now?

  9. Who says India is getting all the jobs? on U.S. Programmers An Endangered Species? · · Score: 1

    There are programmers in Romania, Yugoslavia, Serbia, Russia, Ukraine, Vietnam, Phillipies, and many other places. India will NOT get all the jobs, and if their pricing does not stay competitive with these other places, India will lose market share also. In addition, are you talking about Bangalore or other parts of India. There are Senior Programmers in other parts of India making $120 USD/month. So in reality, project managers will have even more choices of where to find quality programmers. More will go overseas, yes. But will it all fall into the hands of one group, I doubt it.

  10. WTF is a Prime Minister? on Senator Alleges White House Wrote Allawi's Speech · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We haven't even had elections yet, and we have a prime minister? WTF? Guard the Oil Get contracts with US companies Install a Prime Minister Is this what you call democracy in action?

  11. Forget Longhorn on The Future of the Software Industry · · Score: 1

    The next major release by Microsoft will be in 2035 when they release the MS-5. One of the major parts of the OS will be that it may not harm humans. The Trusted Computing marketing platform will soon be replaced by Trusted Robots, but don't worry, these robots are programmed to help humans, and by then the OS will be 100% bug free.

  12. Best 3-5 Ideas on Incorporating Machine Learning into Firefox 2.0? · · Score: 1

    1. Browser learns how to serve popups and make money. 2. Browser learns how to install programs on the users machine without their knowledge, because it knows what's best. 3. Browser automatically knows which favorites should populated in the favorites menu without any prompting by the user. 4. Browser learns to control an entire space ship and can complete the mission even if the crew has to be sacrificed.

  13. Patents on Microsoft Planning on Opening Up More Source · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Soon they will be putting a patent on Open Source.

  14. Really the "Best Buy"? on Napster and Best Buy Joining Forces · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So the question is... Is Napster the "Best Buy" when is comes to online music? Why not just install some kiosks with a CD Burner and an emule installation? It would do wonders for the sale of blank media.

  15. Advertising on Microsoft Planning on Opening Up More Source · · Score: 1

    In similar news, Microsoft is now planning on spending more on it's Advertising Campaign here on Slashdot. Now that they are "opening" their doors, we an all rally around Microsoft! Let me think... NO!

  16. Not going to check this out on Beastie Boys' New Album Silently Installs DRM Code · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't think I'll ch-ch-ch-check...check it out! Cause DRM's what it's all about!

  17. Re:Bit late on U.S. Dept. of Energy Takes A New Look At Cold Fusion · · Score: 1

    No, I'm still using Fission on my site.

  18. Scan all the books and burn them! on Internet Revives Public Libraries · · Score: 1

    If every library would buy more computers, and put the librarians to work scanning everything, we can have an unprecendented amount of info available on the internet. How do you afford the computers? Simple, stop buying as many new books. Also, put some Adsense type ads on the login page, and use that revenue to buy more terminals.

  19. How Many Terminals does your library have? on Internet Revives Public Libraries · · Score: 1

    The one I visit has 20, and they are always full no matter what time of day I visit.
