    Yeah, cause I bet most people who believe in conspiracy theories are conservatives...

  4. Re:It is a sad thing... on Whedon Calls Death Knell For Firefly · · Score: 1

    btw its Jayne, not Jade. Jade's a silly name for a boy dont you think?

    But I agree wtih you on everything else, this is really not a story that is designed for a movie. I see the movie for Joss trying to give the fans an ending and a little more explanation. If you watch the series you can see tons of slow character development that was setting up events seasons ahead. With the show getting canceled, Joss tried to wrap up what he could. When the movie came about, he saw it his last opportunity to tell this story, and so he had to cram too much into to too little time. But boy, was it still sweet. Ah, what could have been.

    It was on digg.com an hour or so ago, but I, along with other users rated it off the front page.

  6. Re:Appropriate Family Guy Quote on Groening Confident on Futurama Relaunch · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember him talking to Chris, not Lois. And Im all for bringing back Firefly, Titus. Undeclared had its moments. Never really watched the others. Except for the Pitts, my God that was a horrible horrible show.

    outlawing alcohol is not that analogous to outlawing dancing, which I dont think is really possible to outlaw.

    I've seen less pixelated images of tits on network tv.

  10. Re:Why prime numbers ? on New Possible Record Prime Number Found · · Score: 1

    Yeah, thats exactly what I was wondering. If theres $100,000 dollars being offered for a prime over 10 million digits, then I would think it must have a practicle application. I guess I was expecting more than just, theres a small chance it could help with cryptography. Oh well, I have never given any money to the EFF, so I guess I can't get too bothered by what they do with their money.

  11. Re:Not really a new ISP... on Texas to Get Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 2, Informative

    actually theres a couple of different power companies I can get my power from in Houston right now. If we allowed more deregulation, the incentive to lower the price would be too great to resist.

  12. Re:What about HAM Operators? on Texas to Get Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Well Im no expert on the details but TFA states:
    For example, the technology has interfered with local emergency radios and Ham radios. But experts say these issues have been worked out and that interference is no longer a problem.

    So take that for what you will.

    At least change the title when posting something from digg. We gotta keep up our Digg vs. Dot score.

    Of course, this was duped on Digg too. But their story rating system took it off the front page quickly.

    I dont think bill, melinda or bono are less deserving for being billionairs, but I do think there were tons of better choices out there, not the least of which is the guy you named. But also, how about the people of Iraq who just voted for the 3rd time this year, or maybe the Cedar Revolution in Lebanon, or the Orange Revolution in Ukraine? Democracy is moving in areas of the world for the first time, this has been an historic year.

    And maybe they should all be forced to code for macs too. no, they should not be forced to change their game, beyond if even this is possible. Though perhaps there might be a niche market for game makers to cater to this crowd.

    You do realize that Bush won the recounts before the ruling, and most afterward right?

    actually they got the names and contacts from a terrorist's computer and phone book, and these were all international calls which is legal. So its even more innocuous than you thought. But yeah, slashdot is turning into a tech news themed democratic underground.

  24. More info, some perspective on Bush Backed Spying On Americans · · Score: 1

    FTFA: The program accelerated in early 2002 after the Central Intelligence Agency started capturing top Qaeda operatives overseas, including Abu Zubaydah, who was arrested in Pakistan in March 2002. The C.I.A. seized the terrorists' computers, cellphones and personal phone directories, said the officials familiar with the program. The N.S.A. surveillance was intended to exploit those numbers and addresses as quickly as possible, the officials said.

    Additionally as a result of the NSA program, buried down in the 11th paragraph, we learn that the terrorist plot involving convicted al Qaeda operative Iyman Faris was uncovered--possibly saving untold lives, not to mention New York bridges and possibly Washington, D.C. trains.

    As to the legallity, its murky. Though, Mark Levin offers this: The Foreign Intelligence Security Act permits the government to monitor foreign communications, even if they are with U.S. citizens -- 50 USC 1801, et seq. A FISA warrant is only needed if the subject communications are wholly contained in the United States and involve a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power.
