  1. Your skills may not be needed...but on How Do You Volunteer Professional Services? · · Score: 1

    If you are willing to help do other work like building, cleaning, providing education...then you might have a chance of finding something. Most needy countries do not need your skills, networking and counseling are for the rich. Most need someone to install a water purification system, food distribution, education about safe sex and aids prevention, construction of homes, creating irrigation canals, driving supplies to remote areas, cleaning flood damaged homes, just giving the local kids some organized games together to forget about their plight, basic and health education.

  2. I'm amazed... on Couple Busted For Shining Laser At Helicopter · · Score: 1

    that some of you even think it's even remotely okay in some circumstances to point a laser at anyone. You take technology as common place and think even a small laser couldn't hurt.

    I'm not even going to comment on the "...better that it's a copter and not a commercial plane".

  3. Just because they have higher viewer numbers... on YouTube Breeding Harmful Scientific Misinformation · · Score: 1

    does not lead to a conclusion that viewers are actually using the information. It may just be that the negative medical videos are MORE funny.

  4. make a little, share a little... on Google Campus to Become Solar-powered · · Score: 1

    Why not set up an array and share it out to the community? Look at me, I'm on the way to self sufficiency, the rest of you fend for yourselves...

  5. we did this in the past... on Experiences with Replacing Desktops w/ VMs? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It was called using a mainframe and 3270 terminals. Very reliable, easily updated.

  6. the dumb do get the money... on Teen Sues MySpace Over Sexual Assault · · Score: -1, Troll

    Remember McDonalds and the woman who sued because of the hot coffee cup in her lap?

  7. Blade Runner - bring on the slaves... on Ray Kurzweil's "The Singularity is Near" · · Score: 1

    At what point will we be "creating" beings for our own selfish use?

    And at what point will the first cyber-being decide that humans really aren't needed and end life as we know it?

  8. Cost to build cost to maintain on Start Your Own Open Source-Based Telecom · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And so I expect this person to support and manage the system 24/7. There are other costs involved, not just turn it on and walk away.

  9. get a laptop, all done on PCs For A Workshop Environment? · · Score: 1

    Take it to your shed to work; take it back inside when done. A laptop is self contained, ruggedized and quite tuff without any extra work. Seems like anything else is just overengineering.

  10. what? No Building Code Violation? on Cube House · · Score: 1

    I thought for sure you'd get tagged for having objects(chimney) too close to the ceiling :)

  11. Not all ibooks are the same... on IBM 600 Series Laptops and Flaky Batteries? · · Score: 3, Informative

    My wife's ibook is an original blue one. She still gets 3+ hours out of the battery. Enough for her to work on a plane from west to east coast without a charge.

  12. Simple games rule... on Snood, the Simple Game · · Score: 1

    More likely Unreal and Counterstrike doomed to extinction. The simple games will always be with us. Anyone for checkers?

  13. Radio Interference anyone? on Field Day 2002 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Has anyone noticed a rise in radio interference from HAM and CB operations, not because of illegal wattage, but more so because of the lack of adequate radio inteference shielding in the current electronic devices? Seems people have forgotten about HAMs and SSW/CB bands in this Internet and "High Tech" age.

  14. just use a better microphone on Software Based Echo Cancellation? · · Score: 1

    You just need a better microphone. Use a teleconference unit from plantronics. As a side comment, looks like you're reinventing the wheel. There are a lot of off-the-shelf video conferencing systems out there that'll probably cost less than all your TIME spent tinkering.

  15. Re:I'm Sorry but... on Using Commodity Hardware in Laboratories? · · Score: 1

    This person is a student and should learn to hone his research and problem solving skills. Asking for help is good, but do some fundamental searching on ones own is better. His questions seem too broad.

    Research?: 16 years circuit design and manufacture, software development in most languages, international medical research, equipment customization, statistical data analysis. You do what you have to do to get the job done.

  16. I'm Sorry but... on Using Commodity Hardware in Laboratories? · · Score: 1

    You're a Senior. You're about to go out into the world and you still haven't learned the basic skills of research. Experience is no free hand out. Go figure it out yourself. I'm sorry, but it's your project. Some Universities might consider this collaborating on your project and I don't know if you're allowed to solicit this kind of help. We're like your fellow students, so do your own.

  17. all that software is a waste unless... on Creative Games sans Violence? · · Score: 1

    Any software without proper guidance and motivation is a waste. Many people made sugestions but no one spoke of creating first an environment where learning and self expression and respect is supported. Children need guidance, role models and a place and people they can trust with their woes. They are not chickens or rats in a cage where one places items for them to learn with food rewards.

  18. Here's the one for PBI... on Dispute Over IP Sharing Escalates · · Score: 1

    http://public.pacbell.net/dialup/dsl-tandc.html Here's the one for PBI...

  19. Check the Telco ISP usage clause on Dispute Over IP Sharing Escalates · · Score: 1

    I thought at least one of the largest Telcos has a usage clause that states you cannot create a site using their ISP service to defame the owning Telco company and that this is grounds for dropping the account. Seek and ye shall find...

  20. Why Western Businesses are nice to China... on China Prosecuting Webmaster Over Site · · Score: 3

    It's cheap labor. It's no one is around to complain about human rights. The government is in your favor. The workers have no voice. The companies can do as they like with impunity. What better place to do business??? Let the money roll in, like we have to keep our lawns green don't we? And the rest is none of our business, right?

  21. IMO: Email just a little too important?... on Desperately Seeking Secure and Reliable Email? · · Score: 1

    You seem to be relying an awful lot on the contents of your email. You might be demanding more and be paying for a service that other means could better serve. There's always a bit bucket out there in the network world. I don't put anything of great value through email.

  22. Where does Transmeta fit? on AMD vs Intel: CPU Design Philosophy · · Score: 1

    So like if you have a chip that can internally emulate all chip architectures, how does this affect chip wars?

  23. education...immigration...??? on Work Options In The U.S. When Student Visas Expire? · · Score: 1

    Why is a college professor spending time giving advice to students on immigration rather than just focusing on teaching?

  24. Re:Ah, the advance of technology! on Emus And Do-It-Yourself Arcade Construction · · Score: 1

    Of course, this only tells me you can't appreciate a game just for the pleasure it gave one. I remember having alot of fun playing Star Trek on the UC computers with the teletype machine and who can forget dungeons and dragons..."grib it...grep it...grab it!!!".

  25. Check Time Magazine on Why Do We Still Use Gasoline? · · Score: 1

    A few issues back, they had an article on new energy sources and then a column on all the technology patents that the oil companies own and are sitting on. Oil is a consumable resource. They don't want an energy resource that they can charge for again and again. That would solve the world's problems and put them out of the immediate business. They don't want to have to think intelligently.
