    Yeah! I was moderating that discussion... and then I told me comments don't exist... find the journal section... then the article dissappeared off my front page and the developers page... Sure it was a "nothing to see here article" but nonetheless.

    A much more interesting story is that The North American Solar Car Rayce Just finsihed with a 45 second difference between U of M's Momentum and U of MN's Borealis III (sp?) Once the penalties are assesed and the other racers finish an annoucement will appear.

    So... how do we uhm... go about writing this worm. The damage would only be to home users... not corporate... and those are some of the ones who would actually get pissed off enough to seriously yell at MS... of course unintended consequence of failure or partial success is that MS gets revenue from the first few.

  11. Re:Where's the source? on Free Beer That's Free as in Speech · · Score: 1

    I disagree, I think its more like getting the code and the makefile, but having to provide the computer and compiler, and having to provide raw 0 and 1 type bits.

    If you get around to quantum computing you should be able to purchase "bit-packs" which can dissolve into either 0 or 1 bits at runtime or in real world terms can turn into either beer or wine depending on whether you know precisely how fast you're pouring it, or how carefully you're pouring it.

    so I'm too lazy to google right now... what's Konfabulator? It sounds like some marketing BS crossed with the crazy trend of replacing C's with K's in Business products to give them a unique trademark... and to make them "cool" but not really.

  13. Re:And racism? on Butterfly Unlocks Evolution Secret · · Score: 1

    Damn. you managed to find one of those questions where we don't have the current resources to unequivocally answer. Simply put its one of those questions where the only "answers" we have are based on various peoples opinions and unless we find a mathematically/scientifically verifiable biological reason for this speciation, the question will go nowhere. Obviously there is some element of our society that feels this speciation is a bad thing, thus we ... to a certain extent have been actively pushing against this idea of speciation. If we fully succeed in getting rid of racism and there is no more speciation then at most we could say that the genetic lines of Man diverged and then remerged before actually fully splitting into a separate species.

  20. Re:In other news... on ESRB Revokes San Andreas Rating · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I personally think its gotta get boring to have to keep repeating that mantra over and over again. You're a parent, its your job to raise your kids. Its ultimately your responsibility. All these social systems to supposedly protect your children are really there to protect your children if you don't do a good enough job in protecting them yourself. This means that broadcast TV had pressures to be family oriented, both because parents wanted to be able to watch things with their kids, but also because TV would be a convenient device that serves as an electronic nanny. As long as the runt is glued to the TV/Game Console, they can't fall down the stairs with scissors. The problem comes from the things we don't normally view as sharp/dangerous, that are corrupting our kids minds. Raising a kid is a full-time job, at times more than even 2 people can comfortably handle. There is risk in the real world, but every parent has to choose what is an acceptable risk level for kids. If they err on the side of danger, their kids may get hurt, and it will be their fault.

  21. Re:Interesting article. on Sixty Years of Memex · · Score: 2, Interesting

    whats interesting is that I find that I planned to go to bed awhile ago, my brain being tired from all the demands I've been putting on it lately, and then I felt the need to catch up on slashdot, the various blogs I read, and other such sites, invariably finding several extremely interesting articles of things that I would love researching if given sufficient time. I've decided to cut this off now after posting this, but the constant stream of learinng reading, investigating and researching is exhilirating and draining at the same time, I constantly feel the need to absorb things from the web, and yet there is always more, and when sleep requirements force me to end the learning something feels unfulfilled inside me. I have a limited time on this planet, and not reading, not studying, not absorbing something during those hours of sleep feels like I'm squandering my time, even if that time is desperately needed simply to assimilate my past experiences.
