  1. Re:you missed it on Google Releases Customized IE 7 · · Score: 1


      However with Firefox on riding their ass they can not afford to slip up. As long as Firefox stays in the game, it will remain a thorn in Microsoft's side. Microsoft has to stay to try to stay one step ahead of Firefox or fail in the second browser wars. And we all know what happened to the company that failed last time.

    Then you get welfare and become a burden on society. And get discriminated against when finding better employment.

    Which is better, a lifetime of worrying about blood sugar or a weakened immune system? Diabetes patient who gets married can't have a traditional wedding cake.

    Pancreas transplant is only used for patients who have a failed pancreas so it would really be their last hope.

  4. Few Years away on Near-Complete Cure For Diabetes In Two Years? · · Score: 1


    Interesting treatment of diabetes but it is still years away for human use. Until then we have to live with complete 100% cure to diabetes -- pancreas transplant. Does anyone plan on donating their healthy pancreas when they die?

      That is just bragging rights. There is no revenue stream from it.

  6. you missed it on Google Releases Customized IE 7 · · Score: 3, Insightful


      You people missed the point of Google doing this. I am sure Google still fully supports Firefox movement.

    Google released a customized IE7 for the sake of brand recognition. And it really doesn't help Microsoft either. It just gives MS bragging rights and no profit. This customized version of IE7 will get people using Google homepage and search engine. Which in return will boost revenue for Google. And with that boost, it will support Google's efforts in the Google Foundation and open source applications with the higher revenue.

    In the end, It is a win-win for the open source community. And a loosing situation for Microsoft. No one uses their precious Windows Live or MSN search. A small loss in revenue for Microsoft.

  7. Simply on Second Amendment Questioned · · Score: 1



    I have the right to bear a AK47 (AK47 is arms) and defend this country against terrorist threats. This including busting a cap in Bin Ladens ass and put a bullet between his eyes.

    And I have the right to defend myself against a oppressive and corrupt government. FYI, thats another purpose behind 2nd Amendment. The People have the right to form a militia to protect itself from oppressive forces of the government.

      This why not to out source jobs to india. Those poor uneducated people are unable do basic math.

  9. Simple on Firefly MMORPG Announced · · Score: 1

    This MMORPG will make or break Firefly as a franchise. If it gains millions of players and able to keep them for indefinite period, it will show Fox that Firefly can be profitable. BUT I highly doubt the game will be successful because of Serenity's box office reports. The game could attract more people to the franchise. And that is good news for DVD sales.

  10. You're all idiots. on Third Place Is Fine By Nintendo · · Score: 1


      Seriously people, You forgot something. Wii is more then just a simple game console. It is Game Console plus Internet Browser. Why do people keep forgetting that Opera will bring it's browser to Wii. Wii just needs a keyboard and wit is fully functional WebTV (aka MSN TV)

    Wii's key points

    1. Affordable for most families.
    2. Family friendly games.
    3. Backwards compatible all the way to NES.
    4. Motion sensitive controller.
    6. A company focusing on game play rather then graphics.
    7. And best of all, Opera.

  11. Copy Cart on Grad-School Thesis Becomes PS3 Game · · Score: 1

    They are so copying Nintendo. Come on people. Nintendo is focusing on Gameplay rather then flashy graphics. Damn you, sony. Be original for once.

    fl0w is in the same boat as Gnome or KDE games -- all there have cheap graphics.

    Foxnews has a report on the Judge's ruling. It should be added to article.

    Here's what the definition should be;

      Planet: Any planetary body that has an atmosphere that orbits that may or may not a star. If they exist, this could include rogue planets.

      Moon: Any planetary body that orbits a planet is considered a moon with one exception of similar asteroids as Phobos or Deimos.

    I think US Military will take few hundred million of these babies. Add some Armor, just use remote wireless control, and put one on every street corner in Iraq (first Baghdad, then others) then we can better keep terrorist under control and save American soldier lives.

    My Money is on Microsoft. Linux corporations or users are not that dumb. Microsoft Windows users may be dumb as shit but Linux users are shaper then a two edged diamond tiped sword.

  19. Idiot. on Should Online Stores Be Subject To ADA? · · Score: 1

    Target should fire it's designers. Target wouldn't be in a lawsuit if the designers would adhere to W3 HTML Strict Standards. ALT is required for a Valid HTML Strict or XHTML markup. I am glad 'National Federation of the Blind' doing this. It will encourager designers everywhere to start doing the right thing. NFB could focus on Web Design corporations as well. Flash programmer could design the movie to Read Button text or block text out loud. And those who hate Flash, you must really hate Youtube since the movies there use Flash.

  20. Re:Why? on NASA's Rollercoaster For Moon Rocket Escape · · Score: 1

    I said new shuttle nitwit. It would be designed for a mission to Mars. Shuttle actually capable of landing on the surface and like parachuting. Then taking off. Consider it an X-Prize plane with off-road wheels and payload ability.

    Apollo-like rocket isn't big enough. NASA should thinking about building habitat on Mars. Why waste that expensive fuel on an opportunity to walk on some dusty surface to collect a few samples. That is a complete waste of money, time, and bone calcium. NASA should bring a small capsule, nuclear reactor, activated CO2 Generator of some sort, and basic supplies for another trip.

      Those who don't know, CO2 would warm up the atmosphere and surface, melt the ice caps, and prepare the planet for life in few hundred or thousand years.

  21. Why? on NASA's Rollercoaster For Moon Rocket Escape · · Score: 1

    Please, someone tell me why they are building these retro rockets for man mission to Mars?

    NASA should be focusing on a new Shuttle capable in carrying a sizable payload to mars. Payload that can be left behind on Mars. I would leave behind a Nuclear Powered Device capable in releasing more C02 into the atmosphere. Those who don't know, releasing additional greenhouses into Mars' atmosphere might stimulate terraforming.

    And oh yeah, Roller Coaster idea is a simple, inexpensive and effective way to provide escape for astronauts. And Astronaut won't loose their lunch on it either since they are trained to handle the Gs of a shuttle launching.

    You are so wrong. Everyone are potential customers regardless if they can't afford it. You simply to work to pay back what you stole as if you purchased it.

    You people is obviously blind. Let me clear it up for you.

    Someone at Microsoft actually read your comments here, digg, or some other nerd hangout. And some top dog inside Microsoft decided to change the EULA to allow you to use 1 license on any SINGLE computer.

    They has opened up to you. And they are more open to Open Source. I expect Microsoft will continue to show support in the future. After all, They have come to accept Apple Computer and OSX.
