  2. 57%? on Instant-Messaging Attacks On the Rise · · Score: 1
    MSN had a 57 percent share of the attacks, AOL had 37 percent and Yahoo had 6 percent

    I do not use msn. But we (myself and my friends in yahoo chat rooms) were annoyed beyond limit by attacks. There are fake sites asking you to enter yahoo passwords and so on. I can imagine what hell msn users must have gone through.

  3. Danger... on Computers That Feel our Mood · · Score: 1

    Thinking of disassembling computer will be more dangerous...Ever heard that the soviet supercomputer tried to electrocute Nikolai Gudkov.

  4. This is ridiculous... on Senator Carper Calls for Tax on Online Porn · · Score: 3, Interesting
    First of all, they will have to justify why Internet is being targetted, and not other mediums. How are they going to classify a _porn_? And how will the law be enforced for servers in disguise? Servers outside country? different protocols (yeah, keeping an eye on all the protocols will be hurricane task)? file formats?

    There are gazillions of loopholes, that will needed to be plugged before they can see money flowing in.

    Fuck Hans Island. Lemme have a look at vaginainstitute.com.:D

  10. Re:Just this one ststiatic is reliable! on Firefox Downloads Reach 75 Million · · Score: 1
    Yes, you are right that this is just one statistic. It could be possible that Firefox is running on more computers than this number, since it has become part of many distros. Also, many SysAdmins I know have downloaded Firefox only once and install on 1000's of PCs.

    In a way you are right that any inference could be dangerous, unless visitor statistics from actual websites are posted.

  11. Re:These laws... on Ex-Microsoft Exec Barred From Google Job · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Also he had _freedom_ to fake signature and claim that he never signed it...:)

  12. I could be wrong...but on Philips Working on LCD TV Ghosting · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Isn't ghosting problem related to the speed at which crystals can reorient?

  13. Ha... on LinuxCare Resurfaces as Linux Device Vendor · · Score: 3, Funny
    Among LinuxCare's contributions were a beautiful 8-foot tall printed map of the Linux kernel

    Big deal. It cant be more beautiful than Windows, which gives me map of kernel daily, that too on blue screen.

  14. Re:This is just WAY cool on Eerie Sounds from Saturn · · Score: 1
    You may find it dificult to understand, but, many many of us keep wondering (and feel amused) while looking at the sky -

    Are we alone?
    Is there only one universe?
    What contains our universe?
    Are there shortcuts (different dimensions) as predicted by movies?
    ....many things.

    Listen to pulsar on this page.

    I feel excited as GP too... and I wish to express it. I dont think there is anything wrong with that.

  15. Re:One more evidence.. on More Evidence for Tabletop Fusion · · Score: 1, Troll
    Call me crazy

    Ummmm...OK. :)

    but maybe because this stuff is fairly new and far from mainstream?

    About 15 years. Are you saying we should wait for another 20 years and watch other countries make progress? (Japan?)

    The government has given money to the Fermi Accelerators for years

    And that is enough justification for turning blind eye towards something better? Difficult to agree with you.

  16. One more evidence.. on More Evidence for Tabletop Fusion · · Score: 2, Informative

    of Cold Fusion, a technology that promises clean power in future (and prevent wars over oil). Just wondering why governments are so indifferent to Cold Fusion.

  17. Re:His moral? on 60th Anniversary of the Atomic Bomb · · Score: 1
    Yeah, you are right. At this age, he should be having some sympathy for innocent children.

    But let's face it.

    The nuclear weapons have played their role of bringing the mankind face to face with the reality of war. If the weapons have caused deaths of innocent people, they have played as role of deterrent for rest of the history. In a way, he has played his role of enlightening the bad effects of war to rest of us.

    The awareness is the key. Saying "No" to war is the key. Respecting other civilizations is the key. Lets hope for it.

  18. horribly ? on Weighing the Internet · · Score: 4, Funny
    and am horribly attracted to women everywhere,

    'Horribly' is not accepted as standard word in scientific research publications. The description must be quantitative like 'and am 91% time attracted to women at 45% of the places'. A graph of level of attraction vs cup size would be great!!

  19. Protest.. on Australia's 'e-tax' Windows Only · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Just protest is not enough, I feel. The rights did not come for ladies, for handicapped access and many other until they moved to court.

    This is not expected from federal agencies. Seriously.

  20. Solar energy on Liquid Hydrogen UAV · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The wings look really big. Why dont they think about including solar panels on the wings?

  21. Re:Solar Cells on Space Ring Could Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1
    Absolutely. And, for that kind of money, lithium bromide based solar air conditioning can be provided to easily.

    Discipline is what going to help us to fight global warming. These kind of patchworks may not be a long term solution.

  23. Re:Linux Improving Battery Life? on Linux-Based Phone Lasts 200 Hours on Standby · · Score: 3, Informative
    Nowhere in the article does it say that linux is the reason behind the batteries long standby time

    It does....See this from TFA.

    If true, these figures suggest Linux has made great progress in consumer electronics power management, possibly through the efforts of MontaVista, which has supplied the Linux used in all of Motorola's previous Linux phones.

    Read this too.
