  1. Enormous Power on Synthetic DNA About To Yield New Life Forms · · Score: 1

    ...is already in the hands of a few people. Nukes can wipe out the life on this planet. With capitalism, it always happens that power goes into the hands of few. What did you expect, something like Blade Runner where even the guy down at the corner in chinatown makes artificial animals?

  2. Viewable content should help, shouldn't it? on Publishers Seek Change in Search Result Content · · Score: 1

    Doesnt it make more sense to show your content on a search engine? Help people find what they're looking for? And get a view of what's being searched? Or does this apply more to paid publications?

  3. Re:unfair on White House Lauds MN RIAA Win, Analysis of Victory · · Score: 1

    Well, they're really just showing their true flavors. Siding with the ones with money instead of sending a recommendation to the judge that she should pay something like 50-100 bucks.

  4. unfair on White House Lauds MN RIAA Win, Analysis of Victory · · Score: 2

    Does the white house realize that a multibillion-dollar organization just won a $200k victory against a single person? Doesn't this seem straight up unfair at the core?

  5. Potential for human stupidity to interfere? on US Scientist Creates Artificial Life · · Score: 1

    Isn't this wrong? As in, completely and utterly wrong due to the potential of destroying ourselves if me make screwing with this technology a precedent? That even assumes that we didn't just get it wrong the first time around (this time) and destroy ourselves turning this chromosome into an organism. Didn't nuclear weapons teach us that lesson, or is the world blind? facebook group "The New Times" or myspace.com/thenewtimes for a longer interpretation of our current situation. This is one of the topics I deal with.

  6. Simulated evolution in technology on Working Around Patents with Evolutionary Design · · Score: 1

    Is probably one of the best ideas I've heard in a while. It defeats patents, and makes our stuff better. Down with the system!

  7. Fighting is absurd and irrational on Japanese Stealth Fighter Announced as 'Return of the Zero' · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    We don't even need to fight. We should be smarter than that by now. Longer version of my opinion at facebook group "The New Times" or myspace.com/thenewtimes

  8. greed on RIAA Conceals Overturned Case · · Score: 1

    Does anyone else see personal interest as their only motivating factor now?

  9. nap on Half of IT Workers Sleep on the Job · · Score: 1

    IT workers should get a nap break like preschoolers. Duh.

  10. Apple showing flavors of evil on Hacked iPhones Confirmed As Bricking With Latest Update · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The whole issue is a flagrant abuse of the free market system. Having exclusivity with a carrier is ok; forcing the exclusivity on the customer after they paid for the hardware is wrong. It's my phone, I should be able to use it anywhere after paying hundreds of dollars for it. Locking me into a carrier via hardware is contractually-sanctioned and obligated extortion.

  11. DRM linkage on Trouble With MS Genuine Office Validation · · Score: 1

    The fact is, Office's DRM should be separated from the DRM in Visio and other products. If they weren't linked, there would be no problem to begin with.

  12. Re:It's China's century on Will China Beat the United States Back to the Moon? · · Score: 1

    The difference is, we went to the moon, and we still are beating out China. We will continue beating out China if we keep up the research in other areas. Being focused on the moon (a goal accomplished long ago) is taking a step back to the past. We need to move into the future. China doesn't have that in their past, so it's their future. That's why it matters to them.

    The fact is, while they use their resources accomplishing something we did ~50 years ago, we can be focused on multitudes of other things like having the best fighter jets. They still can't touch a Raptor (easily), and we've got 3 even newer jets in production that we know about. It's called technological superiority, and we're not wasting resources on getting to the moon when eventually, the fight's gonna be down here.

  13. Re:Wii on Help for the Ultimate Multi-Console Gaming Setup? · · Score: 1

    But he has original consoles with original games. Why should he pay for games again?

  14. Re:how can i get a wii on NPD Reports November Console Sales · · Score: 2, Informative

    Have you ever considered that some of the EBGames/Gamestop might not know when they're getting their next shipment? Walmart is guaranteed a shipment on a given date because its coming from their own highly efficient distribution centers.

  15. Re:Soty, miised a digit, only $17 mil lost on Google Campus to Become Solar-powered · · Score: 1

    You're still missing the point that 12.9 Million goes towards environmental charity.

  16. Re:DNA powered computers suck on Researchers Debut DNA-Powered Computer · · Score: 1

    Why haven't we seen this glowing thing on people yet? Does that mean that this thing is more evolved than we are?

  17. Re:It could be worse for techies... on MySpace CoFounder Says Purchase Was A Scam · · Score: 1

    Those guys who got the X6800 would be screwed royally.

  18. well, duh! on The Daily Show as Substantive as Broadcast News · · Score: 1

    Isn't this the entire point of The Daily Show?

  19. Re:Feelin' Hot! Hot! Hot! on Microreactors Change Propane into Hydrogen · · Score: 1

    He said that we're not gonna see it in laptops for a while for a reason, man.

  20. Re:so, is MS okay to bundle now? on Business 2.0 Says 'Boycott Vista' · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't that still be illegal, as it will give Roxio an unfair advantage because of bundling?

  21. Myspace=Slashdot=Amazon on House Passes Ban on Social Site Access · · Score: 1

    Myspace is like slashdot? and Amazon? In terms of social networking?

  22. Re:Seems like the way to go on Paul Thurrott Bitten by WGA · · Score: 1

    However, their product is installed on every single computer that is supposed to be running their software. Anyone who installs OSX on a regular PC (if it can be done) are the only people to worry about if you're Apple. But even then, there's only so many who would do that. Apple doesn't need to worry about their operating system solution like MS does when it comes down to sales.

  23. Jet pack? on Slashback: Wikipedia Correction, NASA Tape, BPI Rejected · · Score: 1

    Does anyone else think it's a bad idea to strap your jetpack onto your back with duct tape??

  24. Re:so does that mean... on Xbox 360 Coming With HDMI Port? · · Score: 1

    The last time a big company made serious add-ons like a cd player, they left the business. I wouldn't worry about Microsoft pulling off what Sega couldn't.

  25. Cops? on Gaze Detector Lets You Hear With Your Eyes · · Score: 1

    Couldn't this be used to let you know that there's a cop nearby? Now that's some nifty shit.
