  1. Re:I remember math games as a kid on Adults Too Quick to Dismiss Educational Gaming? · · Score: 1

    I'm actually plotting a math program to end all math programs. If anyone wants to get in league with me, my email is: James_Sager_PA@yahoo.com. I'm in conceptual stages. I'm gonna bring all those workbooks into the computer format with its animation and so forth. The cool thing with my math program is that it will suit anyone who is 4 yrs old to people who have trouble with differential equations. It will auto fit you into the right math level, and as long as you're willing to work on math problems, it will train you. I imagine if some 10 yr old really was working with it from when he/she was young, they could probably do Calculus. At least I'm hoping for some child prodigies to rocket.

  2. Don't worry about that gene on Scientists Discover Gene For Ruthlessness · · Score: 1, Funny

    We'll get around to 'fixing' people's 'bad' genes.

  3. Information restriction is what they used onslaves on Lecture Notes Considered Infringement · · Score: 1

    I'm against everyone who thinks information is property. I give out my ideas freely for people to use them, and I admire people that code things for open source.

    Q: Why can't the internet just be one global library?
    A: Because people are greedy bastards that want to use information to make money.

  4. Re:dear god! on Microsoft Told to Pay Tax on License Fee · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Slashdot GUI was fine before. Now it is wierd, and takes more space.

  5. Re:That's OK on New 20" iMac Screens Show 98% Fewer Colors · · Score: 1

    256 colors used to be such a pain to make a pallete with.

  6. Re:The black hole on What Are Must-Sees For Open Day At the LHC? · · Score: 1

    There are pretty big black holes out there, and they haven't destroyed the universe yet. Even if they scientists manage to destroy the Solar System, they're still a long way off from destroying the universe.

  7. Good question on Practical Experience As a Beginning Programmer? · · Score: 1

    I've used C++ for 10 years on my own since college, and I still haven't found a job programming in it.

  8. Name this game on The 30 Dumbest Video Game Titles In History · · Score: 1

    Atari 2600 during the depressed years of 83-84 when carts were being dumped. Someone decided to make a game without a name called,"Name This Game." Some other Slashdotter once said it was part of a contest that they never did.

  9. If RadioHead or NIN would act quickly on Collective Licensing for Web-Based Music Distribution · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Famous artists could have their own distribution models set up merely because they have a good name. All they'd have to do is sign out contracts with indie music they endorse.

  10. Re:I remember the days before the Internet on The Wrath of the Apple Tribe · · Score: 1

    Actually, it was IBM who invented the PC, and Xerox who invented the GUI. But don't let facts get in the way, carry on worshiping Apple.

    Thank you for the clarification. I got bad information on my side. I was always told that Microsoft stole the Macintosh interface like Macintosh was the original. I always hear stories about Jobs and Woz making the first PCs. Now I know better.

  11. I remember the days before the Internet on The Wrath of the Apple Tribe · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I used to think DOS PCs were so much better than Macs because DOS PCs played better games. There were Apple vs DOS PC back in the day, and I'd argue for the DOS PCs. I don't think there are as many Microsoft fanboys as there used to be back in the day. Apple fanboys has all the right to boast. After all, Apple invented the personal computer, GUI filesystem. Apple was down for the count, and now it is doing well again.

  12. Proof that rule by a few elite results in stupidty on China Continues to Shut Down Video Sites · · Score: 4, Interesting

    China is fighting unarmed(or lightly armed) monks in clear view of the world. While they can censor their own media, everyone else sees China as a bully. The Dali-Lama is actually being given an amplified voice. I sincerely do not believe that China wants the person they're trying to repress be given a bigger soap box, but that is what is happening in reality.

  13. Microsoft tried its monopoly schemes with DX10 on DirectX Architect — Consoles as We Know Them Are Gone · · Score: 1

    Hey guys, let's tie DX10 into Vista only. This will force people to use Vista!
    *Vista fails*
    Hey, why isn't DX10 being adopted?

  14. Re:Good grief on Questions Arising On Mercury In Compact Fluorescents · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I was just talking about this today. I told my dad that some environmentalists are against wind power because it hurts birds. He said,"Why don't we just go back to living in caves." I said,"I think that is the idea that some of them have."

  15. Nanotechnology is very interesting. on Self-Healing Artificial Muscles · · Score: 1

    When I first heard about nanotechnology, all I saw was people creating pretty shapes with it. Now after only a few short years we have NanoSolar and stuff like this muscle... I really start to wonder what could be around the corner.

  16. International Cyber Unit on The International Cyber Cop Unit · · Score: 2, Funny

    Heh heh heh.

  17. Futurama on What's Your Favorite Monster? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sure, everyone's for keeping Hitler's brain in a jar, but when you put it into a body of a great white shark, you've gone too far.

  18. We already brand criminals as unemployable on UK Police Want DNA of 'Potential Offenders' · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I know someone who was in prison for a non-felony, got a job through a temp agency was a great worker for Amerigas that people enjoyed. When his temp agency stint was up, they were to consider him for an official hire. Problem? Oh he was a criminal once so even though he was a great worker, they fired him, and wouldn't rehire him through the temp agency.

  19. I'm trying to find a research house for myself on Why Don't We Invent That Tomorrow? · · Score: 1

    University or Corporation, and yes I even contacted M$.
    www.fossai.com
    I just wrote some papers on AI yesterday. I think chapter 1 bears a read by anyone interested in AI.

  20. Isn't the secret to deal in collector's items on Paul Krugman's 1978 Theory of Interstellar Trade · · Score: 3, Funny

    Buy lots of antiques. Travel someplace while lots of time passes for everyone else. Then your antiques are older and worth more. Of course the big risk taken is if someone invents a time travel device and starts dealing in antiques while you're traveling through space.

  21. Re:We should try to find a way to built the plane on FAA Mandates Major Aircraft "Black Box" Upgrade · · Score: 1

    How did you get modded insightful instead of funny?

  22. So it can store an integer up to 4.3 billion? on Brain-Inspired Computer Made From Duroquinone · · Score: 2, Funny

    Doesn't sound like impressive computing. But hey, anyone doing research is at least doing something with their time.

  23. Young Earth Creationists vs. Scientists. on The Universe Is 13.73 Billion Years Old · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm not a Young Earth Creationist. I feel that a day for God is a different length of time than a day for man, and it is Biblically based. Also, how long is a day when the sun isn't created yet? The only conflict with science and the Bible that I see with a long day theory is that birds came on the scene before dinosaurs.

    God is real. I wouldn't bother caring about the Christianity vs. Science debate if there was. The key is that there should be no debate because they fit together fine. Still, some Christians don't want to learn science, and some Scientists don't want to learn Christianity. Not everyone in the world needs to be a scientist because there are other jobs available. Everyone needs to be a Christian because it is the only way to be right with God. So the Christian who rebels against science is wrong, and so is the Scientist who rebels against Jesus.

  24. No one would need one of these on Open Source Robot for Household Tasks · · Score: 4, Funny

    I see a world market for maybe five robots.

  25. Re:Redundancy? on Will Mars be a One-way Trip? · · Score: 1

    Who says we'd send a living human? I'm sure some Billionare can pony up to have his ashes be laid to rest on Mars.
