  1. You mean to tell me... on Counterfeit Chips Raise New Terror, Hacking Fears · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Only now do they see (the American government) the folly at sending out everything to be outsourced in china??? Come on guys, you pay yourselves big salaries at our expense then you realize your mistake by sending everything overseas to have the "cheaper price" but don't even realize that now the Chinese can control all pcs with the click of a button....should they so choose to?

  2. Re:Hmm on Teen Phone Phreak Targeted by the FBI · · Score: 1

    I couldn't agree more, so many people want to pass the buck to someone who was told "no don't do this even though we know you can"...when they should come up with proper security measures,
    however, replace the government as the blind kid, and us people as the telco company, why are we still letting the gov. get away with so much, just because they can, aren't we just as responsible as telco to clean up our senate backyard so to speak???

    Nothing would make me happier then to know we were doing something about the gov. fraud going on with politicians lining their pockets with our tax dollars, but we still let it happen.....
    so is it the kid's fault if telco still has a faulty system in place....

  3. just be more like google..... on How Do You Find Programming Superstars? · · Score: 1

    We are an odd bunch, really, we like to play pool at work, do our laundry in the same building we do our work in, more bonuses, free lunch etc... is all a great reason why Google ends up with all the brightest ones. M$ started off that way, but then began cutting back and hence millennium and so forth...

    If we saw more companies act like this towards their employees, we would be a happier bunch and more likely to stop working underground circles trying to get money for all the personal info we got...

    I once worked in a company where all the employees were so overworked and under payed in accounting that they couldn't keep anyone for more then 6 months at a time...these are the people handling the finances for this company, imagine what they did to the IT staff ...(the same president of this company never spent much money on his IT staff or IT dept, his quote was "well if it doesn't bring back any money, its useless")

  4. Wouldn't it be funny... on Taliban Demands Downtime on Afghanistan Cellphone Networks · · Score: 1

    It would be soooo funny if this was a media applied American move to find the Taliban...

    BUSH: So you are saying let's tell them to all turn off their phone as not to be able
                to track their movement? How does that work?

    CHANEY: Well this is why I am vice president and you are only the president.
                    By telling them to do this as if I was their leader sending the message,
                    we will know who all the Taliban are by seeing who turns of their phones between this time.

  5. so off the mark on Fish Can Count to Four · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's sad how they test to see if fish can count, or even assume that they are in fact counting, when they could be looking at the overall size ratio of the school itself and not the fish collective individually. This is one of those studies we pay for with our tax dollars, that I would highly decree to be a waste of money.

    If I look over at a group of 2 diff. gangs and by instinct I will go for the bigger gang, then chances are that I will go for the visibly larger gang. Now to test if they were actually counting, I would place 3 HUGE almost mutated fish in one group and 4 excessively small fish in another then see what the result would be. The size of the 4 fish would have to be smaller then the size of the 3 fish together

    There would be no counting, its the overall size that affects their brain at a visual level, not sitting there 1 + 1 + 1 I guess I'll go with the left group....they are affected also by movement so if the school of fish all go to the left, they see the change as it happens by the group, not that they think if they go left then i go left...

    I really think sometimes studies like these actually make people stupid.

  7. fishy smell here.... on Pakistan YouTube Block Breaks the World · · Score: 1

    Wait a second, after having read the stories about all those cables under the sea being cut, isn't it a bit of a coincidence that we (US) is now part of the blocking of Pakistan, for reason xyz.

    I know I am a bit on the para side but if their intentions was to block a certain block from the rest of the world, and those cables being cut didn't quite work, I guess the next step would be to have a front story covering up what really happened, anyone can confirm with relatives in Pakistan if this is really what is going on, or just another BIG machine story the media feeds us not to question things happening over there.

  8. Re:Lets bring these people up to speed on Pakistan Blocks YouTube · · Score: 1

    Hate to be the bringer of bad news, aside from the fact that it sounds you condone genocide, in this instance bringing democracy to these people would not work, as their government wants to keep them stupid, easier to manipulate, else they would have to spend so much of their oil profits to start creating infrastructures and quelling the masses, where as now they just don't do anything about anything for anyone.

    Also, their culture is backwards (any culture condoning setting your wife on fire for ASSUMING she cheated on you with no proof and walking away legally without a scratch), so for them to even see your light ( the error of their ways ) is ludicrous as they have been brainwashed all their lives by their parents, and those parents before, that this is the way of life.... and don't challenge it etc...

  11. Re:This is not a troll: GIMP is hard for newbies on Google Funds Work for Photoshop on Linux · · Score: 1

    Well, first it should reflect you being a professional, being a graphic artist means being able to create with MANY tools, not just YOUR tools, and also, in multiple formats that everyone can use.
    I have used both for web development without a hitch, sure they are different, but in the end...
    you just get the job done, no matter what tool or environment used.

    I prefer photoshop for the ease of use, but gimp does everything as well as photoshop, except
    I have yet to see the new gimp(mine is still the old version from Mandriva10.0 pro) and know the new illustrator to contain better 3d imaging support for flexing your images on a curve etc...cool stuff.

    However not knowing about something and having an opinion about something you did use are 2 different things...just my 3.5 cents

    M$ just outright sucks and this proves it, just come out with a free sp3 patch for everybody that doesn't trigger the piracy validation process, and just patches everyone's machines, if I can download a copy and burn it, I am providing it to all my friends that are computer illiterates.

    This just goes to show you, it is a smoke screen for what will happen after the fact, and they will be smart enough to hide their tracks. They will go further then just provide a patch, they will
    install something that validates your windows and bam, oops, your not legit. Then they log you and from there you will be blacklisted with friendly reminders to get a real copy.

    Mark my words, first they do what they say, then slowly it morphs into something it wasn't intended to do, but by then it's too late everyone has accepted M$ new way of doing things and doesn't raise any alarms as to what else it could be doing.
