    This says otherwise. The Mathematician should know better.

    I know! There is a Libertarian paradise already that we can use as an example to show how regulation just gets in the way of business and the consumer. How the free market can solve people's problems without concern of being held back by big government. Its called Ethiopia.

  6. Re:It's easy, just think logically. on Discuss the US Presidential Election & Education · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Read "parents who care about education" as "Children who want to learn" and you've got it right.

    As an adult who went to private school all my life with the exception of a state university, I can honestly say that is not the case. I knew PLENTY of kids who didn't give two shits about their education while in private school. The reason they stayed in? Money. Their parents threw money at the school, and the student stayed in. No matter where you go, there will always be motivated students willing to learn, and unmotivated students, who don't care. Private or public.

  7. Re:Mono 2.0 Supports .Net 3.0 on Mono 2.0 and .NET On Linux · · Score: 1

    That's not necessarily true. While you can mimic what linq does, saying its syntactic sugar is not true. linq is implemented in a monadic way. providing completely type safe operation.

    What about freenet?

  9. Re:I'm hoping we'll forget this now on The File-System Fallout of the Reiser Verdict · · Score: 3, Funny

    - When it encountered problems, it crashed spectacularly. You didn't just lose a file or a block of a file, you lost entire trees and could get metadata instead of file data and vice versa. You could say it lost entire bodies of data... I'll be here all week! Thanks!

    The human eye's 'refresh rate' is around 60 Hz... If you think you're being distracted by flicker from 100Hz, you're only fooling yourself.

    It will be something along the lines of this?

  14. Re:Conclusive on Sony Paid for Fake PSP Graffiti? · · Score: 1

    The pictures on the site were taken in San Francisco. I live in atlanta and ride my bicycle to classes daily. I can confirm that there are several of the same pictures here. There are a few in a small district called Little 5 points. A sort of trendy urban punk place, and a few more about a mile or so down the road towards the city on Edgewood Ave. So i doubt its fanboys across the nation using the exact same logo.

  17. Re:Retrieval on Lost Nuclear Bomb Found Off Georgia Coast? · · Score: 1
    I'm honestly baffled at this, and if we do not expend the money to retrieve it, are there any international accords in place to make sure our enemies do not retrieve/ reverse engineer it?

    The terrorists wont' go near it, let alone REVERSE engineer it. Theyre obviously afraid of being prosecuted under the DMCA!

    I agree completely. While it's not difficult for me to grab the numbers of my own Representatives and Senators [Ga 30307], I'm still uncertain of how I will approach this. I recieved...

    I was planning on using the same ol' "I oppose the Induce Act, and as your constituent [blah blah blah]." But now, Im not too sure of what to say, not being in their districts or states I wonder how influential my call will be? 'I am a US Citizen, and while I'm not your constituent, I hope you will be nice and just do what i say'

    yeah. right.
    hopefully this will have some effect.

  19. Re:Finally.... on Copyright Office Suggests Changes To Induce Act · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It is still completely absurd that they can outlaw something that 'induces' someone to be music pirates or what have you. Guns are still legal. Could those induce someone to go on a shooting spree? There are perfectly legal uses for p2p. Congress must realize that destroying something because of bad side effects dispite monumental good uses is totally and utterly inane.
