  1. Re:As if the US doesnt censor internet on Wikipedia Won't Bow to Chinese Censors · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They now have their own government (if you can call it that) with their own elections. Why should they vote in Israel's elections as well? And why should people who aren't citizens be allowed to vote in a country's elections?

    Only Jewish residents can vote
    Actually, no. Any Christian or Muslim citizen can vote. Arab parties currently hold 7 seats in the Israeli parliement, and other Israeli-Arabs hold seats as members of other parties.

  4. Groundbreaking? on Research Projects You Should Know About · · Score: 1

    With all the network research out there that is actually groundbreaking and new, why did they choose to write about spam and phishing? They are merely proposing solutions to minor inconveniences or slight modifications to existing technology. Less catchy titles, more innovation please.

    All I see is some dumb looking guy with dumb looking headphones, and no real explanation of what either of them does.

  7. Why not freeze it? on Fully Internal Water-cooled Xbox 360 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Cool it to 4.5 Kelvins and crank out those cycles! :)

  8. Why? on Frozen Chip from IBM hits 500 GHz · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's interesting, but wouldn't it be better to just use two of these chips at room temperature, rather than spend time/money/space on cooling the chip to 4.5 Kelvins?

    All they will figure out from /. users is a correlation between fast heart rate and trying to get first post on the latest article.

    I'm happy there's no reception down there. We need a little less yelling down there, and a little more shut the hell up. Though I guess it would come in handy when your friend gets really drunk on his birthday and wanders around the subway system, and it's up to you to find him (yes, true story).

  25. Re:Input type? on A Look at Data Compression · · Score: 1

    Looks like the load on the site just went down and I was able to read the remainder of the article. Looks like they do use different input types, as well as a space vs. time metric. I'm not crazy about using a stopwatch, but that's probably the best you can do if you're working with a GUI. If any of you know the answer to my question at the end though, it would be appreciated.
