  1. Re:RTFM! on Users as Innovators - Why Open Source Works · · Score: 1

    You mean RTFB!

    or RTFOB! (for precision)

  2. Time for revolution on Users as Innovators - Why Open Source Works · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Opensource also deals with almost no money, this in return sets the path of a developer to develop the code for his love of it = good product.

    Plus the no back-stabbing hidden crap code spyware clean non-malware products also just work, if it doesnt or is unclean others have a oportunity to come and fix it.

    More brains = Better, compared to just a few programmers doing it closer source.

    Yet another reason why the space program(s) in the whole world shout be given a high priority. Not just for technology, but ultimately for human survival in such occasion.

  5. Re:Yay, no BSOD on Tux Enlisted for U.S. Defense Program · · Score: 0, Troll

    Hmm, in a way I have to agree with that as well. Now that I think about it, I think it doesnt matter what OS that runs your weapons, war will never leave any winners, both sides will lose.

  6. Yay, no BSOD on Tux Enlisted for U.S. Defense Program · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Well that cleared up my worry about weapons being put a certain other OS and getting BSODs.

  7. Re:The Robot Apocalypse draws one step nearer... on S. Korea Considers Using Armed Robots Along DMZ · · Score: 1

    If robots are put to defend, wouldnt it be logical to think that Robots will be put to offence as well.

    Both countries are somewhat equal in their technology, and so is the rest of the world. This just might the time of the world, where for the first time, a war could be fought without losing a single life.

    Its actually really sad to see wars going on like this, in this tiny world, compared to the universe.

  8. Re:Suicide Booth on Games That Shoot Back · · Score: 2, Funny

    It seems unlikly that they would include a features such as that.

    That would be like adding a small switch in your normal firearms to give a option of "shoot back at face"

    It wont be long before someone will come up with a home made version of it, if not at least I will come up with a way

    A simple transformer, outputting a very high current with lot amps will work ideally (simple do it your self project). I see this also being worked along with the mouse as well. I see no difficulty in construction of the hardware, the trick will most likely be interfacing it with a game.

    I see more use of this such as hooked up to error messeges in your machine, when a compile is finished, alarm clock for the gamers.

  11. Re:Probably bad for eyesight. on Health Consequences of CRT Monitors? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have been using CRT Monitors since 1990 (I was 4, my love, my dad's commodore) playing price of persia and BASIC programming) well as of today, I spend daily 2-18 hours infront of one. My eye sign has never been bad, just slighly less than perfect before 2000. Now I have perfect vision, there for the use of it has no effect. Cycled around 20 CT monitors so far. I could possibly say that CRT's have no effect on your eyes as long as you excersise them (my uncle told me, that, I do it daily), which goes as below. Go to a clear window (without a mesh) and then look really far. Then quickly switch back looking a the window's frame. Do that multiple times, then try to track birds and other moving stuff. Spend 5 minutes of youd day doing that.

  12. Re:This just a digicam pic then a creative lineup? on Fun With Transparent Screen Backgrounds · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yeah, its defintly cool but in a productive perspective this has to be the most useless thing I have seen. BUT.

    Being a eye-candy-whore my self, I must agree this is really cool. At first, I saw the laptop and though they actually disassembled the LCD it self and the lights.

    I have yet to see someone who will really take apart the whole LCD installation to where its truely tranparent. I would do it without a doubt if I wasnt some poor engineering student who doesnt know what the fuck.

  18. Only way on Visions Of The Future Of Grid Computing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I guess its time that the power of a single CPU (Ghz and instruction per clock) are leveling off, and this seems like the only way to increase computing power, hook lots of it together. Hopefully we will be able to find some answers from the SETI or cure some nice cancer for the Folding projects. Would be nice if the commertial grids also help out those projects by giving them their spare cycles. GRIDS CRUSH SINGLE CPU.

    This seems like a smart move they did by dropping charges. I still understand why the govt dont put these guys to good use, they have some serious brains and are extremly bright, might as well give them a job and take good use of it. I am sure the hackers or virus writers would like that better than be in the slammer or get fined.

    Wonder if they were hosting the website through a iPod through Apache, might explain the reason for such a short time overload.
