    oh well the add was still disabled however their CSS trick leaves a blanc white frame over the page.

    Dear slashdot

    Sorry to say when i was looking at your top article in front of it came a google banner.
    PLease stop this overlapping banners, it took me quite a while to finaly be able to read this story.
    keep your marketing adds in place and don't hoover it over your page.
    Otherwise people loose interest in your site, and also beginning to hate your advertizers.
    That's not why these advertizers started their internet campaign.

    (hmm by itself alone this comment could be net story topic about online marketing these days).

    Any way i hope you will act on it.

    Your chineese made costumes and Tshirts are probaply solde in "legal" USA shops.
    While underage kids have cerated those cheap clothing in poor countries.
    But that shop selling famous brands of Tshirts makes big money of it.
    While you knew that clothes are coming from those countries who dont have the same laws.
    Who dont have the same public welfare, still you buy items from those countries.
    Thereby your sporting things who are not legal in your own country.

    this looks much like the RIAA case but only i changed it to Tshirts, and it seams that it is accepted.
    You keep your courts rather bussy with some small topic as music
    While fair trade of real goods is not even in your minds, that is just to sad to be real.

    I can asure you, you will learn more from different teachers then from one teacher. Some pretty boys and girls keep going to the same school. While others travel around and learn a bit more.

    It counts for religion to (as thats your problem here). You can believe in a God, but you might learn also from other believes or phylosophies. As besides you where given a dick you where also given brains. And emotions like passion and love

    The best thing you can do is learn from this world
    But before you react on me, see the movie http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ It will tell you a lot about origin of believes and who uses their power. Note I'm not against any believe, but i'm strongly against people who are made blind by believe. Those who forget that the world is also a natural peace and nature place, with natural behaviours, and nature to take care of but not to miss use. To find the balance between the nature around you and yourself, isn't easy. But its better to solve that first before you get in some holy guy who will forgive all your blames. As that is too easy. And made us care less for the world around, poisening our earth and has created a lot of wars.

    I give you one eye opener, this word: AxisofEvil
    It means that someone used a a believe system with a god and a devil character.
    To get that believe behind him to be able to start new wars for political (oil) reasons. Since he used this words and no other words for it, he was sure he would get those people behind him. Thats the danger with those of you who exhanged their hart for some kind of book.


    So just follow your hart and sometimes your dick will follow your hart, but its your brain and what you want to learn from this world what decides what happens. You can learn yourself there are no books required as long as you dont hurt others it's all okay to me.

    yep but that bacteria you talk about is covered under earth's ice is protection here.
    And a huge electromagnetic field from earth, that one protects us against space radiation.
    Even astronauts have to take care for solare flares, as such a flare could easily kill an astranaut.
    Perhaps you dont understand but compared to space there is not much radiation here
    And a commet shell isn't quite like earth's protective shell in terms of radiation protection.

    Perhaps some building blocks arived trough space (but its not required) to have made life here
    So in favour of Occam's razor, it was much easier to start life here under the right conditions then it was in space.

  8. Re:origin of comets still unknown. my crackpot the on Scientists Offer 'Overwhelming' Evidence Terran Life Began in Space · · Score: 1

    indeed crackpod in some degree :)

    No not want to hurt you, basicly all havier elements are made trough exploding stars.
    But inside the stars ther is only plasma, plasma is another state of mater
    To hot for strands od DNA or proteine, or blood or other life elements.
    A plasma is ruled by magnetic forces and nuclear forces only
    The weak bounds as for chemic bonds do not exist in a super heat plasma.

    But your right heavy elements are made of stars.
    complex chemics however are likely to exist (no one kept it all clean and organized)
    Since there are so many chemical options it's even likely that amino acids are at some space rocks
    As it is likely that there will also be chemics which resemble nothing we have seen before, or could possibly think of.
    Nad yep for sure there is somewhere a golden commet larger then myself. The chance that it would look like me is however not likely (unless you have read the transgalatic hidgehyker, i'm actualy Arthur you see..)

    Well what did that guide of that story told me..

    The one thing intresting is perhaps carbon itself.
    Carbon has a lot of chemical stable intresting combinations in chemics
    From plastic bag, diamont, DNA, till perspex

    Carbon turns out to be the Lego of our universe (especialy in the environment at earth).

    Thats next earth environment.. lots of water in which carbon can float
    Floating boiling movement, means almost a huge chemical cooking pan.
    Because of the water it can move around unlike the moon (carbon overthere wont react with neigbour chemicals).
    So given time you can get to life as we know it.

    Given the right condition however perhaps life could be based under high pressure in some kind of acid sea based on fluor atoms but its not yet proven. Until we know more about it the best Lego are carbon atoms.

    Most likely some chemic proces wil be designed to create a continous long nanotubes (not 1 cm but a 1 km).
    The reason why this is likely to happen that is it would be cheaper then steal (carbon is cheaper).
    And so lots of industries who use (depend on) rope these days would buy super strength rope.
    Allready there is a market for that, the industry is driven to find stronger materials all the time..
    And also our knowledge of nano tubes is only increasing more and more.

    So i would not be supriced if it would be invented in the next month or next year or 10 year.

    But the storage calculation for raid 5 is simple N-1 So if you put in nine disks then you have 9-1 = 8 disks of storage.
    If you have only 3 disks you 3-1 =2 disks for storage. So as you see it gets more intresting, lets overhead when you use more disks.

    If you do got a lot money to spend there exists expandable Raid 5 like solutions (different vendors give it different names, for example raid 10 or raid 20 or other names).

    I'm wondering dough, you say you use it for media storage if it is only photo's perhaps just googling you can buy a pack of 200 writeable blanc DVD for about 139 euro that's close to a terabyte.. and damn cheaply for such amount of storage.

    Its difficult to stop that however, i can only say my orignal works canot be duplicated as my Art media cannot be duplicated, (thats some payback as i dont produce in big mass..)

    Altough i also cannt say no one is allowed to sculpture in stone, i copyright that idea..

    Then it might be that the orginal artist (MS) would say i dont like that you use my code.

    Perhaps the whole pattent thing is just wrong, nature , bioligy doenst use patents.

    just allow it and make sure that you dont put false names on it (that would not be nice) if the orginal artist would like a fee for a copy work then just do so and pay a small fee. To the inventer himself. possibly product inventions would go faster then.

    what if there was such a pay system..
    you invent a small thing
