  1. Re:Spam on Microsoft's Personnel Puzzle · · Score: 1

    brilliant poem I chuckled a good bit.

  2. a simmillar idea on Corporate Fallout Detector · · Score: 1

    This is similar to an idea I have been rolling in my head for a http proxy server that would detect the names of politicians/corporations and dynamicaly write in a link to the necessary query at opensecrets.org. This you can keep track of who is being bought and by whom when reading news on the web.

  3. Re:Cheap Labor Conservatives conservative is relat on Why Outsource When Workers are Willing to Telecommute? · · Score: 1

    for us "chomsky reading green party is great idea liberals" The democratic and republican establishment are equally "conservative"

  4. Re:What's wrong with Live!? on Testing the Audigy · · Score: 1

    the pc128 is based on the ensoniq audioPCI's chipset wich has very good signal to noise ratio -98db

  5. cd rom manufacturers on Coming Soon: Burn-Proof CDs · · Score: 1

    Do you really think the pc cd-rom manufacturers will allow the riaa to cripple their products in this way. Expect the firmware upgrades(downgrades) to be coming to new cd-romish type products almost forthwith.

  6. Re:The world has enough food... on Saltwater Agriculture · · Score: 2

    unfortunately the reason we have so much food is that moder industrial agriculture produces higher efficiency at the expense of sustainability, leading to the loss of topsoil due to higher erosion rates in factory farms, salinisation due to extensive irrigation, etc etc. These factors combined with the probable impact of global climate change could make the world a very hungry place.

  7. there is a better way? on OpenNaps Targeted; Gnutella "Validated" · · Score: 1

    Filetopia (based in spain) offers a similar system to Napster / open nap but with two important extra features 1 encryption .. 2 so called "bouncer proxies" these two things could go pretty far to spoil the riaa's picnic. pity it is still a proprietary solution although the do offer a linux client I believe.

  8. if only the mp3 format included a chcksum on Running The Numbers: Why Gnutella Can't Scale · · Score: 1

    I am tired of incomplete downloads, wouldn't it be nice if we could filter out incomplete files from the query.

  9. suckiness on Why Software Still Sucks · · Score: 1

    When presented with the option to select two items from the list

    cheap

    Guess what you end up with.
