  1. Snake oil anyone? on Critic of Software Patents Wins Nobel Prize in Economics · · Score: 1

    Economists are snake oil salesmen anyway. Nobel prize winners routinely have 50% of their "theories" or models disproved by real life. How about a physicist that has one theory disproved? Nobel prize?

  2. Might just work, now... on Microsoft Wants To Read Your Brain · · Score: 1

    Technology has come a long way. I remember when they started piloting the rectal scanners. I'm a tall guy, but the readers were at about eye level and they never seemed to get an accurate scan. I hear they have made considerable progress though...

  3. 1 more thing on Rob Malda Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    As for #1, you should add that the iPod will fail miserably! Lame...

  4. Hahaha! on Al Gore Shares Nobel Peace Prize with UN Panel · · Score: 1

    What a farce! I haven't been paying attention in the past, so someone please tell me when the Nobel Peace Prize plummeted to the status of being worth __less__ than a bucket of s(h|p)it. This is an outright embarrassment!

  5. Re:From the response letter... on How Not to Write a Cease-and-Desist Letter · · Score: 1

    Haha! I love it! Ala ThePirateBay: - Willoughby & Partners "This gives a cause of action and jurisdiction to sue you in the UK." -anakata "Please sue me in Japan instead. I've always wanted to visit Tokyo."

  6. Re:Mod this guy off topic on Antarctic Ozone Hole Shrinks 30 Percent · · Score: 1

    No shit! However, they are eerily similar in that they are both hype-machines... no I mean cause for global panic! Maybe many like me are tired of all of this super methane loaded B.S.! -- "Scientists say this year's smaller hole... is due to natural variations in temperature and atmospheric dynamics... and is not indicative of a long-term trend." Hmmm... Kinda like "Global Warming"?

  7. Kubuntu on Automatix Kicks Ubuntu into Gear · · Score: 1

    Dunno, didn't read, but as a linux user I have 2 modes, command line and when I use a GUI, I want something that works and supplies me with a rich pleasurable environment. To me Gnome is crap. Why use a GUI if you want simple with no frills, use the command line. I actually like Ubuntu and the premise/release cycle etc., but I prefer Kunbuntu and feel that it should be Ubuntu. For Linux to grow and make even more inroads into the Windows desktop/server environment, Linux must have a desktop distro that (at this point) is based on KDE, and a server distro that has a KDE lite (because it will be the same and familiar, low graphics that is consistent with the desktop but appeals to the server admin). -Shawn

  8. Re:Have you ever BEEN to CHINA? on Taking My Freedom With Me to China? · · Score: 1

    Sorry... You stupid chinc or pinko-commy, whatever... I know nothing about China actually, I was just responding to the insane "Oh, and the one baby thing is only enforced in the big cities.". Specifically the "ENFORCED" part. Ohh, and maybe the "ONE BABY THING".

  9. Re:I have said it before, and I will say it again on Taking My Freedom With Me to China? · · Score: 1

    Ahhh, I bow to you o master of the googleness... Evidenced by the page in your link, no one has any idea that there is anything other than "Fort Levenworth". That's why someone has to point it out on a web page. Like the page that points out "When ever Alcatraz is mentioned, people always assume the prison. However we have many birds, some named after the island. That's what we are known for for God's sake... Oh wait, those are albatrose. Hmmm... K, nevermind

  10. Re:Gentoo of course on Which Linux for Professional Admins? · · Score: 1

    Yep, aside from the all caps, I love the Debian versioning... Apache 1.0, PHP 3.0, KDE 2.0...

    Ummm... I love Mandrake and use it at work and at home. But "* The company is making money (the company will be here for a long time)". Didn't they just nearly escape bunkruptcy? Something happened. IT was bad. They just made it out alive. -Shawn

  14. Re:I have said it before, and I will say it again on Taking My Freedom With Me to China? · · Score: 1

    What? Any attempt I would make to "bribe my way out" of anything would end up in a much longer prison sentence. Leavenworth? Only criminals in the U.S. military go to Leavenworth. All of the other U.S. prisons offer steak and shrimp night, exercise gyms for the prisoners to bulk up, TV rooms and conjugal visits.

  15. Re:You watch too much TV on Taking My Freedom With Me to China? · · Score: 1

    Yeah dude, read "The Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb and The Architecture of an American Myth", (toke, toke, gurgle, gurgle) then watch Fahrenheit 911!

    If USA can attack another country "Just Like That"(tm), I would consider Chinese's censorship a godsend given it's only imposed within its own country. ...respect its laws; if you don't agree with its laws, go somewhere else. You always have a choice.

    Here, here! Follow your own advice moron.

  19. Crap article on Review of Microsoft's Anti-Spyware Tools · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I neither hate it nor love it or Microsoft. The simple fact is that the review was crap. The methodology was lacking and the scientific process non-existant. We've done several anti-virus and anti-spyware comparisons. What you do is simple: - Load up a virtual machine with XP and take a snapshot - then kill it with viruses or spyware - run a tool and find what it catches/cleans - revert to the snapshot and run the next tool - do some simple math

  22. Nerds in the classical sense? Not! on American Airlines Information Gathering · · Score: 1

    Wow, in several years it has turned from "News for Nerds" to "News for socialists that think they have it better" and "News for those that have it better but for some reason are socialists". For those posts that I have seen in the past several months, maybe longer, go surf the Michael Moore site , find some activist website or go bash the ditto heads at rush's site.

    Ahh.. dumbass grasshopper...

    The point is that the guests don't expect that they have free reign over my house and that I would be perfectly justified in being concerned with where they go (my bedromm, dresser drawers, jewelry boxes, kids rooms, etc...)

  24. So What? on American Airlines Information Gathering · · Score: 1

    So what? If you're a "guest" in the U.S. (read, you're not a U.S. citizen) then it's perfectly logical that tabs should be kept on you. Do you host a large party at your house or have a salesman in for whatever reason and just let them wander where they will with no monitoring? No, they are "guests".
