  1. Re:why is texas a win for her? on Clinton Takes Ohio, Texas; McCain Seals The Deal · · Score: 1

    what does that have to do with my question? and if I'm not mistaken, Obama is ahead in the popular vote so far (by nearly a million before last night.)

    she left the state with fewer delegates.. I'm trying to understand what a "win" means in this race.

    it was also terrible...when zoomed out. When they played back the tapes at corporate, they could zoom in far enough to read numbers on a watch.

    I call bullshit on this statement, total bullshit.

  5. i like this, even if I hate patents on TiVO Patent Upheld, Dish May Have to Disable DVR · · Score: 1

    because it's nice to see big corporations with their patents eating one another... one gigantic corporate machine vs another using absolutely stupid patent justifications for suing another. It's like watching Rush Limbaugh chew into mccain while the main stream media adores and sings his praises.. Let these fuckers weaken themselves. Frankly, I hope both parties in this case suffer catastrophe, total meltdown of their bottom line. I don't give a flying fuck if tivo lives or dies, but if they're alive let them suck the blood from another corporate entity while they have the chance.

  6. Re:Very easy solution on Diebold Voter Fraud Rumors in New Hampshire Primaries · · Score: 1

    People will argue that because there is a paper trail that it would be totally foolish to hack the optical scanner because it can always be challenged. Well, is anybody challenging the results now? Is there a verification happening in New Hampshire right now? Doesn't seem to be. I believe one of the participants of the election has to challenge the results, Barack won't be doing that because he'd look like a sore loser... but there were plenty of other people on that ballot that could.. here is the ballot

    I didn't realize there were THAT many people running for president in the democrat party, unreal. And here is the problem for the optical scanner, assuming nobody will challenge the voter because it rarely happens (sometimes recounts are forbidden by law unless the margin of victory is within 2%) then the optical scanner can be hacked.. lets say, give Hillary Clinton an extra vote every 30 scans, or maybe it was programmed to not count one of Obama's votes every 15 ... simple stuff like that.

    There's one of the blackboxvoting videos that shows the optical scanner in question and how easily these machines can fuck up a simple counting of 8 or 10 votes (skip ahead to about minute 3:45)

  14. I don't get it on Voyager 2 Shows Solar System Is "Dented" · · Score: 1

    Voyager 2's data is scientifically exciting for a number of reasons, NASA said. The spacecraft has a working plasma instrument that can directly measure the velocity, density and temperature of the solar wind. A similar instrument on Voyager 1 stopped functioning long ago.

    Voyager scientists had expected the temperatures within the termination shock to be about 1,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit (555,500 C) as material normally slows down and is heated up when it encounters an obstacle in a normal shock wave.

    But according to Edward Stone of California Institute of technology, the temperatures registered were much lower, at around 200,000 degrees F (111,100 C). Also, Voyager 1 made only one crossing into the termination shock while Voyager 2 has made at least five shock crossings over several days which allowed

    how does the spacecraft survive in those temperatures?

    any non-biased responses to this situation on slashdot... this place is chok' full of anti-capitalist microsoft haters here. The summer is a bait, to hook the loyal slashdot base into responding with their typical vitriole while ignoring the evidence. Do so at your own peril.
