  1. Re:Only 60%? on 60% Of U.S. Believe Life Exists On Other Planets · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Belief leads to argument, argument leads to research, research leads to discovery, discovery leads to peer review, peer review leads to ideas, ideas lead to beliefs. That's what we call "science."

    "they can tell us what our history REALLY was like." Mel Brooks has already done a superb job at that.

  3. Re:OpenOffice is a Gateway Drug... on Porting Open Source to Minor Platforms is Harmful · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I tried linux, backed away once. I tried firefox and thunderbird and loved them. I know use Mepis with firefox/abiword/thunderbird because I became comfortable with them. It's a "taste" that gets you. Why do you think they give free samples of cheese at supermarkets?

    Does anyone think that maybe the second death star was a back-up, hence it took a long time to build as well, but wasn't fully funded or maybe started later than the first?

    So, I guess what I'm really trying to say is...there should be more catfights on slashdot.

    You have to remember that the same people that belive that believe there is an end boss for tetris.

  10. Re:Make sure it can exclude items... on Microsoft Finalizes Its Desktop Search Software · · Score: 1, Funny

    It's best not to think where it comes from. Its when your mom has lesbo porn that you need to start worrying.

    That's the way to beat the terrorists! Planes with breasts can't be targted by terrorists because they're not allowed to look at them.

    "What the Supremes did here..." Now don't go blaming music groups for this problem. I don't go blaming REM for the dot com bubble or Aerosmith for tooth decay.

    You win, you have the better example, but unless everyone goes and sees Pirates of Silicon Valley, most meager humans won't catch the reference. Now why haven't we been modded up yet?

  19. Re:What style of tabbed browsing will IE7 use? on IE7 Will Have Tabbed Browsing · · Score: 1

    Sorry to feed the troll. But IE will use the type of tabbed browsing that it's most detramental competitor to market share uses. Like a few others that voiced the idea, I'm worried about firefox adoption decreasing if people don't think they "have" to switch to get it. I call it the blinker effect. If the turn signal on your car stops working, some people will just flick it on/off to avoid spending time/money to fix it.

  25. Re:High School Systems Insecure? You don't say! on HS Students Steal SSNs to Prove They Can · · Score: 1

    Yeah, my school uses SSNs as well, now thankfully they only require them to be entered for scantron (fill in the bubble) forms. But one day some idiot TA or something *left* a page of them, the whole class list, outside of a bathroom. Since our physics class used an online homework system and the default password was the SSN I logged into about 5 accounts. I didn't do anything, but it amazed me that people were so inept in security measures. I quickly shredded the paper afterwards.
