  1. Oh woe! on Pentagon to Significantly Cut CS Research · · Score: 1

    Oh no. The US military will not own emerging internet technology. Hang on, I need to break out the kleenex.

  2. You mean blind people can't read? on The Continuing Hunt for PATRIOT Act Abuses · · Score: 1

    It's kinda hard to raise an objection to something thet you're not allowed to look at, or even know is being collected about you.

  3. Sweet. on Microwires Can Replace The DVD-ROM · · Score: 2, Funny

    Excellent. I've always wanted to garotte someone with the full text of Gone With The Wind. My dream finally comes true!

  4. Roundup on SLI Primer · · Score: 2, Informative

    For anyone who is interested, Anandtech has posted a round-up of the four SLI boards on the market (DFI, ASUS, MSI & Gigabyte) which includes some conclusions of their own about usability, value and performance.

  5. What a joke. on FCC to Fine Curses More Than Nuke Violations · · Score: 1

    The energy industry isn't even the worst. Sites like this show just how useful Americans consider their drinking water as compared to truly important things like, say, family television and missile defence pipe dreams.

    And before anyone points out "They don't only have to pay a piddling sum in fines, they have to pay $x million to fix the problem"...there never should have been a problem in the first place. None of these places is operating at a loss, I guarantee you. That's like saying "He's a much better person then you- he has to fight every day against the urge to murder someone, and you don't even have to try!"

  6. Get a big one! on Pushing The 512MB Barrier On Video Cards · · Score: 1

    Hey! My TNT card had 32M! Don't go around bashing it- it feels inadequate enough as it is ;)

  7. Re:Why bother? on Software Distribution By Vinyl · · Score: 1

    Hell, if you could somehow store it three-dimensionally in a wheel of Camembert...it'd be almost as good as holographic! The possibilities are endless! And don't even think of it...this is getting patented ;)

  8. Why bother? on Software Distribution By Vinyl · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you really wanted to, you could probably encode music onto a piece of cheese...but what's the point?

  9. I knew it all along... on New Intel Trademark Filed · · Score: 3, Funny

    Now Intel is admitting it! VI=6 V+I+I+V=12 (6+6) Thus, 666. Obviously. On an ironic sidenote, they will be hot as hell.

  10. Disgusting on The Super Superhighway · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but this is sickening. How much money, wildlife and gas are going to be burnt for the sake of saving people a few minutes?

  11. Re:If they can patent this... on Small Firm Claims Patents On e-Banking Processes · · Score: 1

    No, and I doubt he has a licence either. Pardon me a moment- I have a lawyer to call!

  12. Re:If they can patent this... on Small Firm Claims Patents On e-Banking Processes · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well...if someone already patented the combover (U.S. Patent # 4022227), then anything is possible. Go for it!

  13. Funny... on Diebold to Pay $2.6M Due to Insecure Voting Machines · · Score: 3, Insightful

    When I buy a service that isn't delivered as advertised, I get a full refund.

  14. Re:Privacy is assured. on Feds Propose National Database of College Students · · Score: 1

    That's a moot point anyhow- if their security is anything like most governments'\schools', all you need is half an hour online and you'll know everything you want to know for free.

    See any one of these

    First, the website. There are specific plans located on the right side of every "Issues" page. For example, http://www.johnkerry.com/pdf/economic_plan.pdffor the economy.

    Second, CNN, in this case, is quoting directly from State Department figures, supported by sources at Stanford and Princeton. The state department figures are compiled by "the CIA and the Terrorist Threat Information Center, which includes officials from the Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI and the CIA." I hope you agree that *they* do not have any anti-government bias.

    In regards to the issue of Kerry being supported by Osama; Osama is evil, but he is not an idiot. Only an idiot would believe that the endorsement of a presidential candidate by the most wanted criminal in the world would help that politician's cause. If he truly is endorsing Kerry, then it's not so that Kerry can win, and by defeating him you are playing right into terrorists' hands.

    Finally, to insult the credibility of CNN and in the same breath to quote the New York Post seems somewhat absurd, what with Mr. Murdoch's decided Republican tilt.

  17. Re:Bush all the way... on Pre-Election Discussion · · Score: 1

    the teorrists are running scared at another Bush administration

    I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion, since terrorist attacks have actually increased (http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/06/22/powell. terror/) over the past years to a 21-year high.

    And if you want specifics regarding Kerry's campaign, I suggest you visit his website (http://www.johnkerry.com/). There you will find a 9-page economic plan and a number of information pieces about his security policies. Kerry's "lack of concrete policies" is simply another Bush myth.

  18. Re:Globalization on Submit and Moderate Questions for Bush and Kerry · · Score: 1

    Human rights abuses? You must be thinking of that dastardly Fidel Castro. If China was comitting human rights abuses, we'd have them embargoed and try to asassinate their premier.
