    Well fact is name one PMP or DAP or PDA or etc that is engineered for linux? I cant think of any. I think developers on the corporate level just think thats what the 'community' is for. What really sucks is that altho it runs on Qtopia, it seems only specifically written software will run on it, nut just any zaurus app for instance.

  9. Re:Cellphone on Airplanes on FCC to Allow Wireless Access on Planes · · Score: 1

    One of the bigger tech hurrdles to pass is the rate of speed of a user. Switching from tower to tower is not noticable usually when yr say driving down the highway. But in a plane at that speed towers would have a considerably more difficult time transferring from tower to tower especially over a long range flight covering many states. And trans-atlantic or pacific flights are probably SOL anyway. All this could be muted if a cell tower was actually placed on the plane, but i dont know how concievable that is at the moment...

    Uh if taking sides with the opposition to President Bush as all-pervasive as that is then fine, yea i take sides. When Clinton was president he was not my president either, if Gore was president he wouldnt have been mine and if Kerry had been he wouldnt have been mine. Democracy is not getting to chose between two autocrats to tell you what to do for the next four years.

    As for whose religious views are more fucked up,i'd go with the Talebans but they dont exist as a ruling body anymore, we cant say that for this country. So what are you advocating, accepting rule of these religious beliefs here, or usurption of the Administration that yields them?

    Also your misunderstanding of verifiability suggests why you take issue with my use of the word. GWB had evidence that was corroborated by the people who gave it to him... thats like a co-author of a research paper on cold fusion using results from someone in the same research group as evidence of its existence. What you do is have someone independent of the group verify the evidence, like say the IAEA which showed that evidence was FORGED! Or you could rely on someone in your own group who told you that it was fake (Joe Wilson). But of course the intelligent response would be to tamper with the whistleblowers evidence and claim that you had found cold fusion anyway.

    You dont have to verify to _my_ satisfaction, you verify to the standards satisfaction. Especially in the case of all out war.

    Im not the one who called you a jesusland idiot but you love putting words in my mouth. I feel very sorry you think the way you do, many people are dying because of it. And repression exists all around the world because of it. But dont worry, i know im just at fault as well. I do what i can.

    You caught me. But thanks for telling me what i would do if Rush Limbaugh wrote a book like that. I was really curious. First the study by berkely isnt a 'lie'. If anything its bad science. But to you its some vast liberal conspiracy apprently. Corporate America is completely responsible for the corruption in our governemnt, period. Is academia responsible for it too? Dont think so. The post on the berkely study was a total experiment to see if the mods are biased. It doesnt seem to be so or they knew that one was a total trolling. This last one was complete cynicism. I have given up on political discourse. Especially here. When i posted my thoughts on why this election looks as corrupt as 2000, i get burned for it. Totally unfair but thats life, im more than willing to deal with it. And regardless of your name calling and demeaning of me personally and all that i have gotten from people like you on here, i still love all of you and just want a decent and positive life for you as well. Its what i fight for in my activism and will always. Regardless of what conservatives try to do to this country.

  18. Re:"Splitting atoms" on New Advances Bring Fusion Closer to Reality · · Score: 1

    Speaking as one of those people who do know how to speak and say nuclear, i am wholesale against the use of nuclear power. As a matter of fact i work in radiation safety, that is my job. I know that trying to protect the public from the dangers of radiation is a full-time job. Why should the public be exposed to the POSSIBILITIES of such wholesale destruction of the environment. We have Chernobyl as a most known worst-case scenario. We have Hanford as a less known worst-case Ameican scenario. The idea of technology should be to make people's lives better not expose them to more danger. I know it is totally possible to run a reactor safely, but nothing is guaranteed and you are operating with the MOST toxic chemicals in the world. Why would you want to take the chance? If we spent the money on developing the most non-toxic forms of energy like solar or wind, we would be living in the cleanest world possible. Instead we have to live with the most difficult, dangerous and inefficient technology as an energy source. As for fusion to remain on-topic there is even LESS of an advantage. Yes it runs more efficiently, but it is even MORE difficult to extract that energy. Yes you get less thermal neutron flux but at a much higher cost. Why are we moving towards more and more difficult methods of extracting energy when we have it shining on and blowing by us every minute?

    Its very simple, this is a call to make electronic voting open source. Thats all there is to it. The source should be inspected before being compiled by as many independent sources as possible. Now if this story is true, then the 200 election was a fraud, whos to say the system hasnt been extended to this election into even more states with shady republican governors? In Ukraine when this kind of thing happens the people show up in force to get new elections to occur. Here? They accept the corruption and move on. America doesnt seem to be cut out for democracy...

    Ok so i RTFBrief & RTFBlog and i jus wanna make sure i understand, the only reason the FCC claimed my TV and possibly computer was so as to not allow ppl to record shows watched on TV? This is merely to justify their implementation of the Broadcast Flag system? So the FCC defered to corporations that want their programming watched only when they want to broadcast it? Well hasnt this been happening for years with VCRs? Why didnt they do something about that? Or is just because we have the technology to do it now, and filesharing is such a problem? Well in a world where everything has a price, this is what happens.
