  2. Scientology is dangerus on Scientology Critic Arrested After 6 Years · · Score: 1

    Scientology is dangerus, it is also not a "relegion". This is not the first time they do this to people how critise them. There are cases that date back to 1990 far as I rember, but then scientology was tapping into other peoples fones just because they where critiseing them. /includes spelling errors.

  3. Mud Volcano may erupt for years on Scientists Attempt To Calm Volcano · · Score: 1

    The main issue that they have to deal with is the pressure inside the mud volcano. How long this mud volcano continues to erupt is anybody guess, since it's eruption period depends on the pressure of the gas (maybe also water, I am not sure on that) that creates this mud eruption. This might continue for years or decades if they can't stop it now.

    Here is a interesting blog about this mud volcano.

  6. Idiotic at higest levels on Teacher Found Guilty of Endangering Kids Due to Spyware · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't see this is the teacher fault, it is well known that spyware can install it self with viruses and other nasty things. It is also interesting to note that the software that is meant to keep this out was not working, becose it's license was expired. That can only be the schools fault. But I don't expect conviction greedy Prosecutor to understand that. Since, based on the news I am reading here. He is a total idiot, and rightly so. Who the hell sues over spyware, even if these kids did see some porn on the computer screen, I would think that the Tv is twice as worse then that.

    I guess few people in the US needs to be connected back to reality.

    A volcano eruption of a large scale actually cools down the planet. The Earth is in a need of one right now, it might just be around of the corner for all I know. The question is just where it is going to hit. Or it simply might not happen next 100 years, by that time, we are all royally screwed anyway, the reason being global warming. Global warming is real, the year 2006 being the hottest one in the U.S history and around the globe. Don't expect 2007 to be any colder.

  8. What did NSA get in return ? on Microsoft Gets Help From NSA for Vista Security · · Score: 1

  9. Alien races on UFOs In the News · · Score: 1

    If people where ready to think this in a proper manner they would soon realizes that aliens are real. The question however is have they found our planet and checked up on us them selfs or by using a prope. This question is important becose space is big and any alien race that can travel between stars can easy hide from our simple radars (radio wave bouncing of metal objects). What we consider high tech here, might be many centuries old for the alien races in question.

    I am sure that many alien races are here just to explore. I am bit more worried about the alien races who have interest in conquering whole worlds and enslave the population. Space is really big, so it is a easy assumption that such alien races exist.

  10. They also don't fully support..... on Council of the EU Says "We Cannot Support Linux" · · Score: 2, Informative

    The council of the European Union also doesn't support Firefox or Opera to there full extend. They say that them self right here, http://ceuweb.belbone.be/faq.php?lang=EN

    And I quote.

    "In what browsers can I view the live streaming media service of the Council of the European Union?
    The live streaming media service of the Council of the European Union supports Internet Explorer 5 and higher, Netscape Navigator 6 and higher. If you encounter problems with a lower version of your browser, the browser should be updated to facilitate the live streaming media service. Firefox and Opera will be supported with a minimal of functionalities: No possibilities to use the Table Of contents for positioning the streaming. All the buttons for the player will disappear and the standard buttons of the player must be used to control the stream."

    There stream is nothing more then mms that works with mplayer of properly configured at the servers end. This is a typical fuckup of a admin who doesn't actually know anything about computers and how to stream a video.

  11. Re:Linux is NOT the answer on Looking Beyond Vista To Fiji and Vienna · · Score: 1

    Learning on a new system takes time, a long time. You should know this already. I did learn most about linux and how to use it and command it properly when I did start using Gentoo Linux, I did install from a minimal setup. But that means that you have to do everything your self. It took me 2 - 3 installs until I got it right, but I got it working and today I use it as my main desktop. I even set it up for people how don't know anything about linux and they like it and can use it.

    Linux comes as you install it, want minimal, no problem. Want all the stuff, no problem. It just depends on the people how are setting the system up.

  12. Re:Linux is NOT the answer on Looking Beyond Vista To Fiji and Vienna · · Score: 1

    I read your post, it is still a nonsense. There are plenty of smaller distros out there and that it is good for the world, becose then we won't have everybody tided down like has happened with Windows. The future clearly is a Unix based system, since the virus issues with Windows are out of control. Windows is nothing less then a second class technology that is actually slowing down development of the computer. Windows is also DRM infested and that in it self is only befits Microsoft and the entertainment industry. The people who actually run Windows don't matter to Microsoft, as we can clearly see by there actions over the past year.

    Linux has no stigmata, it never has. However there has been a lot of fud and coming from the Microsoft camp about Linux systems. Microsoft is a monopoly and all monopolies are bad for the consumer. In this case, the user lock in that comes with Windows Vista. I mean, in Windows Vista you can't even play a legal HD-DVD in full resolution becose Microsoft has dedicated that you are a theaf and are about to steal the movie you did legally buy.

    Microsoft Windows ultimate legions isn't going to be pretty. Windows Vista is going to be more failure then Windows XP and Windows ME put to gather. They might have taken five years to re-write the whole thing few times over, but it doesn't change the fact that Windows Vista is going to suck badly. I mean, what type of system doesn't run smooth on 3.4Ghz computer with 2GB ram. But that is what I did hear from a man who did test Windows Vista, trying to run it on 1Ghz computer with 512Mb is utterly impossible, it takes Windows Vista more them 15 min just to start.

    Linux is soon going to take over the desktop market, it happens when people finally figure out how much junk Windows really is.

    Note: I only did run Windows Vista once and that was when it was in early alpha or beta, I don't rember. I have no plans to run Windows Vista. Windows XP (that I use for games) is going to be the last Windows I ever use.

    Like four different versions of Windows Vista solves anything in the Windows world. The only thing it does is increasing the size of Microsoft bank account.

    Linux, unlike Windows, has real solutions, they also come quicker, often within 48 hours of a dangerous flaw discovered.

  14. Re:Linux? Are you serious? on Looking Beyond Vista To Fiji and Vienna · · Score: 2, Informative

    Like Windows is perfect. There are continues virus and malware problems with Windows, they aren't going to get any better. Even if Microsoft releases Windows Vista or Windows whatever becose Microsoft has no sense of how to make up a internet secure Os. The Windows base is from the time when the internet was only used by a few people and the government, and few corpartions. There is also the fact the Windows basic structure is flawed, both on the user level and security wise. No secure operation system demands that the first user of the system is automatic admin. Yet, Microsoft does this and many people find that ok to be that way.

    Linux is ready for the desktop market and has been ready for long time. Saying something else is either based on ignorance or is just a fud.

It is quite obvius that he didn't do the second option, but that only exposes the political nature of this matter. Arresting the pepole who find the securty hole never solves anything, that is a fact.
