  7. Re:just a natural occurnance... on A Countdown To Global Catastrophe? · · Score: 1

    boy oh boy... all i have to say is i'm from texas and my sig automatically gives me a score of 0. and all ya'll have to say is "bush sucks" and "we're destroying the planet" to get suck up points. but here's the real deal. one volcano eruption spews as much bad stuff in hours than we (the human race) have polluted in the last 150 years. the planet doesn't give one rats ass about us, it is going to change however it wants. we will just have to learn to change and adapt to those changes. so to the nay-sayers and bush haters, have fun complaining, i'm going to live life instead of bitch about how it's going to end. :)

  8. just a natural occurnance... on A Countdown To Global Catastrophe? · · Score: 0

    i hate it when doomday-sayers come out saying "oh my god the worlds gonna end!!". just like the unfortunate earthquake, and resulting tsunami, these sort of things is a natural earth occurance. do you know that we're still coming out of our last ice age that didn't happen really all too long ago? and if global warming is such a huge problem, why are some places here in texas having record lows on some days this year? if global warming is such a huge thing that's just gonna kill human civilization, why arn't we having record highs??? this is simply the earth taking it's own lifecycle, we're just along for the ride. WE have to learn to adapt and change for the planet, cause i doubt we're gonna make any difference in it's plans. my 2 cents.

  9. what a surprise... on Jail Time For P2P Developers? · · Score: 1

  11. Hate to be a Pessimist, BUT..... on Breakthrough Efficient, Paintable Solar Cells · · Score: 1

    Energy Companies will never invest in this great technological breakthrough to use for bringing power to homes/businesses. They are Fat Cats just like the *AA's and Telecoms. They love all the big profit they are making, and would never jeapordize that.

  12. Unofficial Explination on Air Force Launches Encrypted IM Service · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I am in the Air Force, a 2E251, job title is "Computer, Network, Cryptographic, and Switching Systems Journyman". here is how i can best explain why it is encrypted and why we cannot use regular IM products (aim, icq, etc etc...) It isn't that classified or top secret messages are being transmitted across this system, it's simply to keep the enemy from deducing simple things and protecting the members families. Think of it this way, if you have 100 people from the same network ID talking about hopping on a plane for a "Big Mission" the enemy might beable to figure out what's going on. another good reason for encryption is so that when members are like, "Boy, i can't wait to go home for christmas and go to grandma's so and so's house this year" what's to keep enemy's/Terrorists from taking from there grandma's name, finding out where she lives, and then kidnaps her to black mail you, or just out right kill her to hurt the morale of all troops in the sand box. also, due to AFI regulations, regular IM programs are not authorized for use on Air Force Systems, plain and simple, for those exact security reasons. i was in Iraq/Oman for a while back in the summer of 03, and i used this program alot. Thank you all, and i hope this was useful.

  13. Re:Encryption? on Air Force Launches Encrypted IM Service · · Score: 2, Informative

    Conventional IM programs are not authorized for use on Air Force Systems. This program is the only way for us when we are overseas to communicate back home in an IM way. and yes, i am in the air force, and used this program during my stint in Iraq/Oman.

    you mean that a corporation is greedy and realizes that they can make more money by screwing over as many people as they can? wow... as for kazaa, it's very obvious that most P2P networks are there solely to get illegal stuff (music, movies, etc), but proving it in court will be a totally different matter.

    i live in a small town in texas, and the nearest big city is 3 1/2 hours away. the only "good" place in town is an EB/Gamestop whatever, and they're sold out. in the big cities, i'm sure there is no shortage, but in the small towns, big shortage here.
