  1. Re:marine life? on Sonic Torpedo Defense · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It is very unlikely that any of the big major countries will go for a conventional war with each other, because they know that no one is going to emerge victorious. The reason why they spend money on such useless so called defence projects is to fill their own pockets (via kick-backs). And the environmental question asked by the editor is important, because these devices though won't be used in war (because I doubt if there is ever going to be one) are going to be used in naval-exercises and testings, which will further damagae the already frail eco-system of out oceans.

  2. Re:Fork on Nessus Closes Source · · Score: 1

    How long until a fork of the currently released nessus source code becomes available? Not till you start hacking on it.

  3. Re:They can do it, but forks inevitable on Nessus Closes Source · · Score: 1

    If I am not mistaken, I think Linux falls into this category, so Linux could not be taken out of the GPL unless everyone who holds copyrights over the many parts of the source code all agree on the new license. I think Linus Trovalds holds all the copyright for linux kernel, so he can do whatever he wants. But most of the utilities and tools, the things which make linux, linux are copyrighted by Free Software Foundation, and which I think is controlled by rms. So, anythings possible. Correct me if I am wrong

    Check out furl, which allows you to bookmark your pages indefinitely, and search them and access to them from multiple locations, etc.

  7. Re:PDF in Vista? on Office 12 to Include Native PDF Support · · Score: 1

    I cannot agree more, and not just include PDF viewer, provide a PDF writer/printer too.

  8. Re:Let us extrapolate on Wild Gorillas Impress With Their Tools · · Score: 1

    This is offensive piece of crap, what do you guys mean? Pygmies are humans like us, not an inferior race. They are as closely(or distantly) related to apes, as any of the person reading/writing to this thread is.

  9. hope creationists learn something from this on Wild Gorillas Impress With Their Tools · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I hope creationists read this and learn something from it, so that they stop confusing young minds.

  10. Re:They will both fail. - data backups!! on Blu-Ray Attacks Microsoft, Microsoft Bites Back · · Score: 1

    I am not worried about movies, and studios. The reason why either of the two technology should be cheap and easily available and affordable is, so that it can help in data backup. I want to do away my stack of dvds and replace them by fewer disks.
