  1. Re:Doesn't Really sound like a great place for OSS on Rapid Internet Growth In Iran · · Score: 1

    Right after 9/11/2001. There was a big court case about it in Rhode Island. News media that day reported that a 'suspected terrorist' was taken off an Amtrak train in Providence. Locals were interviewed saying "yup that really brought it all home for us here" when it was a Sikh arrested for wearing a traditional ornamental knife and a turban.

    It's kind of hard to improvise with special effects and explosives without ACTUALLY killing off the actors.

    Do you not remember that hate-filled time when "Americans" beat up, spat on, and killed Arabs, Sikhs, Indians, and anyone else wearing turban? It was less than three years ago.

    Funny, I've bought quite a few excellent CD's released this year. Maybe you're not looking in the right places.

  8. Re:Wrong kind of idealism on Cheap Fast Eyeglasses from a Desktop Fabricator · · Score: 1

    It's not in their power to get it. That's unfounded faith in The American Dream(tm)

    The poor need help, and this guy is giving them help, which many people don't do. Seriously, how hard is this to understand?

    speaking of monkeys...

    peter gabriel wrote a song for the Wild Thornberrys soundtrack with the help of some bonobo monkeys.

    Pakistan is not really that hostile (except to India) and they are MUSLIM not ARABIC.

    yeah but they also get coke fans to pay for pepsi more often

  13. Re:Speed... on DARPA Offers No Food for Thought · · Score: 1

    Do you remember hearing about the Air Force's "go pills" and "stop pills"? They used to use an amphetamine in the go pills. (not meth but dextro I think)

  14. Re:Ghee... old [flamebait or food for thought?] on DARPA Offers No Food for Thought · · Score: 1

    World Wars I and II.

    (well OK, war was already there in both cases)

  15. Re:What a Waste on DARPA Offers No Food for Thought · · Score: 3, Informative

    How about you read what you just quoted?

    "By far, the greatest part of education revenues came from nonfederal sources (state, intermediate, and local governments), which together provided about $346 billion, or 92.7 percent of all revenues. The federal government contribution to education revenues made up the remaining $27 billion."

  16. Re:Think of the uses! on DARPA Offers No Food for Thought · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The Air Force did the same thing to their pilots flying missions in Afghanistan from bases in Kuwait.

  17. Re:GPL on FSF: New Apache License not GPL-Compatible · · Score: 1

    It is entirely applicable. Did you miss the part where they mentioned the development and adoption of GPL v3?

    errr, didn't the article summary suggest as much? (at least for the apache case)

  19. Re:Isn't he getting old? on Arthur C. Clarke Talks With The Onion · · Score: 1

    belief that the bible is the Word of God does not necessitate believing that its writers were possessed, rather than inspired, to write what they did.

  20. Re:Great Quote from the Article on Arthur C. Clarke Talks With The Onion · · Score: 1

    too many otherwise intelligent and interesting people fall into this trap.

    saul williams is one of them, and he also fallen victim to the "us bad, them good" school of thought.

  21. Re:Funny World... on U.S. Representatives Torpedo UN Information Summit · · Score: 1

    My point was that the US has extraordinarily inconsistent application of policy.

    And how was I supposed to know that you're a libertarian? All I can tell about you is that you probably like the Simpsons.

  22. Re:The US is protecting four things on U.S. Representatives Torpedo UN Information Summit · · Score: 1

    Incorrect. Software developers can very well make money by developing and selling Open Source software. Observe Red Hat, for instance. They're obviously not super-profitable, but how many years have they managed to stay alive?

  23. Re:Funny World... on U.S. Representatives Torpedo UN Information Summit · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hey guess what? There other countries with nukes that have broken UN resolutions and get sold arms by the US!

    Sure, the war in Iraq may have a positive outcome, but that doesn't mean anyone's intentions were honest.
