  1. Re:Linux Wars? on Fedora 8 A Serious Threat to Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    I don't see it as a threat to either Windows or Apple.

  2. Er... on Egypt to Copyright Pyramids and Sphynx · · Score: 1

    Good luck with that one.

  3. Wait on Should Apple Give Back Replaced Disks? · · Score: 1

    He does have the option of getting the drive back. You have to say that up front though. They aren't going to just send it back because that is an extra expense.

  4. Way to go! on Tcl/Tk 8.5.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I like Tcl (and Tk). It has a nice syntax. It has good libraries. It runs pretty much the same on any OS I care to use. One of the big benefits as well is the community. It is super helpful and very nice to work with.

  5. Re:About time the first amendment means something! on New Jersey Judge Shields Anonymous Blogger · · Score: 1

    There is nothing in the Constitution that guarantees anonymous anything.

  6. Re:creationism on Solar System Date of Birth Determined · · Score: 1

    I don't see anyone squirming. This isn't provable at all or is a best highly dubious.

  7. Re:Beorn on Jackson Slated to Make Hobbit Movie, Sequel · · Score: 1

    Tom Bombadil wasn't in there because he didn't further the plot. Even in the book it is questionable and JRR said so himself. However, Tom B. is pretty cool. : )

  8. Re:At this point...JAF on Ruby on Rails 2.0 is Done · · Score: 1

    Maybe, but if you like Ruby you are probably going to find "ways" around those issue even if those "ways" are the best ones. I would probably do the same.

  9. At this point...JAF on Ruby on Rails 2.0 is Done · · Score: 2, Interesting

    RoR is just another framework now. Almost everything has caught up to it. The biggest question to ask yourself is "Do I want to program in Ruby?". If the answer is "no" then meh who cares about this.

  10. Re:BASIC/PLUS on State of the Onion 11 · · Score: 1

    Yes but I know who Larry Wall is...that is the difference. : )

  11. STOP: ID vs Religion is not the issue on Texas Science Director Forced To Resign Over ID Statements · · Score: 1

    The issue is that she was forced to resign because of "repeated acts of misconduct and insubordination". The topic could have been Peanut Butter vs Jelly for all I care.

  12. Maybe I missed it...? on UN Says Tasers Are a Form of Torture · · Score: 1

    Is someone actually caring what the UN says? Really? That is sad.

  13. Re:not intelligent enough... on Liquid Crystal Phases of DNA, Beginning of Life? · · Score: 1

    It is /. and that is why it happens over and over and over and over.

  14. Re:Life? on Liquid Crystal Phases of DNA, Beginning of Life? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Where did the stuff that made up the "Big Bang" come from? If it was inert what was the "catalyst"? I don't think there ever will be a connection from the inanimate to the animate.

  15. Re:Since slashdot is also against free speech on Russian Police Seize Kasparov · · Score: 1

    Either you didn't get his post or you haven't been an /. for long.

  16. Re:Sheesh... on China In the Habit of Copying and Redirecting US Sites? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    No it could be it is just "China" and they way they do business in controlling their peoples access to the Internet.

  17. Oh gosh on Sesame Street DVD Deemed Adult-Only Entertainment · · Score: 0

    That is just totally stupid.

  18. Re:Some entities are going to Vista eventually... on Vista at Risk of Being Bypassed by Businesses · · Score: 0

    I work as a contractor to the USCG and we are dreading the next standard workstation release that includes Vista. The only benefit is that I got upgraded to 2GB of RAM (which Vista is going to eat up). *sigh*

  19. Re:Internet is USA property now on US Control of Internet Remains an Issue · · Score: 0

    Nothing, I repeat NOTHING should be in the hands of the UN.

  20. Re:Imaginary Property? on Rowling Sues Harry Potter Lexicon · · Score: 0

    So what if they are making a PROFIT from her ideas? Look around and see that that happens every gosh darn day with just about everything you use.

  21. Re:Hmmm. on A Giant Step in Cloning · · Score: 0

    And therein lay the sticky ethical problems. If you can clone, doesn't that make them "human" and because they are "human", just creating them to be harvested is (or could be construed as) wrong.

  22. No they are not...really on How Fast is Your Turnaround Time? · · Score: 0

    They just don't understand your side of the issue. All they see is "I have a problem" and "You need to fix it" without knowing anything technical. You need to say "48 hours is not reasonable and here is why" and list them out. If the customer still wants it, let them know it won't be "bulletproof" and they need to accept that.

  23. Re:Pride? on Russia Honors the Spy Who Stole the A-Bomb · · Score: 0

    That is only from your point of view. The Russians see him as a hero. Not much you can do about that.

  24. Re:Summary of the accusations on House Narrowly Avoids Having to Debate Impeachment of Cheney · · Score: 0

    Did you even read that article you quoted?

    "(1) In general.-- Whoever engages in any conduct with **intent** to convey false or misleading information..."

    You would be hard pressed to prove that was his INTENT. He and Bush acted upon information they BELIEVED to be true.

  25. Re:Confusing The Issue on Does Hacking Grades Warrant 20 Years in Jail? · · Score: 0

    I hope you never ever get to write laws. Your logic is screwed up.
