  1. Wrong assessment on Gates tried to Blackmail Danish Government · · Score: 2, Informative

    He didn't just try, apparently he succeeded very well!

    Yesterday I watched the Danish news on TV. They told the story as you know it and a little more. Before moving on to todays next topic, the speaker assured everyone that of course the Danish government will 'fight for the jobs', meaning acting Bill Gates puppets in EU.

    Thuesday the 27th there will be a demonstration in Bruxelles against the law MS (and other very large companies) are putting on us.

  2. How about GM potted flowers? on Genetic Engineers Barking Up the Wrong Trees? · · Score: 1

    They are making varieties of common potted plants that have their flowers for much longer time. Would you choose a GM bouqet for your Valentines Date? (Why make up those weird ideas in the article?)

  3. Re:Perhaps a more fitting tribute? on Open-Source Technique for GM Crops · · Score: 1

    This post is modded "Score:2, Insightful" !?!?!? If it doesnt change very fast, I don't like Slashdot anymore :(

    Do you blame the Global Warming on Ford? Nobody does. Did he play a key role in it? Well, noone can deny that (thought some might argue about it for long if they bothered).

    What is dangerous is greed and foolishness. Like Monsanto rushing out to use a largely uncontrolled new technology on a cornerstone of life on Earth to make money for their share holders. And the people who keep whining about the 'ignorant Europeans' and 'eco-freaks' who are just 'paranoid' and claims that such a brilliant invention should just right away replace what put Homo sapiens here in the first place. (It gets disgusting when some claim that they are merely making the money to save the starving African children though.)

    We can also argue for a long time if Microsoft and/or Monsanto are 'evil' in the real meaning of the word. But most will agree that developing Open Source software and now GPL GM crops is a very interesting idea at least.

    But thank you for reminding me there are people like you out there - if I knew the word for what you are and used it, I'd propably get modded down to -10 for rudeness.

  4. Re:Umm.. What? on Arctic Ozone Hole Will Be Severe This Year · · Score: 1

    Perhaps 'Global Warming' should be renamed to 'Global Chaos', because more than an being an increase in thermal energy I guess it's an increase in entropy. Yes, it will raise global average temperatures, but more than that increase energy levels and thereby cause more extreme weather events.

  5. Re:Perhaps a more fitting tribute? on Asteroid Named After Douglas Adams · · Score: 1

    I borrowed a box of CDs with it on my local library. Bunch of pictures within 90ies-like menus and all the speech. Very nice.

  6. I just made the mistake... on Geeks in Management? · · Score: 1

    ...of hiring a geek for a position in which he's supposed to take over a bit of management - and he's already demonstrated his inability and general lack of social skills. Or, at least I thought he was a geek, but obviously not enough to get an understanding about the system he's supposed to take over. :(

  7. Mozilla Guidebooks on When Do You Read the Instructions? · · Score: 1

    I considered buying one of those. Not that I'm in particular doubt of anything but I thought they might be funny to have. And a way to support them.

    But when I'd read them, I don't know!? When I got them I might read the introduction.
