  1. Re:Note from Rockbox project manager on Rockbox Plans Open Source Firmware For iRiver Gear · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Have you thought about porting to the Neuros?

  2. Not So! (Slight Spoiler) on Review: "The Sixth Day" · · Score: 1
    Naturally, The Sixth Day has a Hollywood ending. Schwarzenegger raises the questions, but doesn't know what to do with them, so he ends up ducking the issue in hokey fashion. Perhaps you didn't pick up on the ending. The version of Arnold followed through most of the movie is actually the clone. I believe he eventually realizes he is the clone, nevertheless he tricks the real guy into leaving his family and heading off to Brazil or wherever.

    Am I wrong?

  3. Re:Tasmanian Perspective on TigerCloning · · Score: 1

    One may also wish to take note that before Europeans came to Tasmania, the island was populated by Tasmanian aborigines. Those Tasmanians were subsequently the victims of perhaps the only known 100% successful (successful?) genocide. If only we could bring them back too...

  4. Re:You may not want to hear this, but..... on Online Rights And Real World Censorship? · · Score: 1
    >But where would we be if Martin Luther King had reached a "compromise" with Jim Crow legislation?

    Make sure make sure you say that you are violating someone's civil rights by not allowing them to view pr0n from your business's equipment.

  5. Re:Deckard and Gaff... on It's Official: Deckard Was A Replicant · · Score: 1

    I think the BBC article was mistaken. All replicants were illegal, and there were six illegal replicants Deckard was supposed to kill. (Well, actually only 5 since one "got fried" before Deckard is brought in.) However, only 5 "made their way to Earth". The sixth replicant was Rachel. Deckard was slightly surprised (and miffed) when he was told to retire her because he had previously been told he only had to kill the 4 renegades.

    I'm happy for all the Chinese people this will help, but what about me?

  7. I'd vote for the robot on Online Book About Nano/AI · · Score: 1
    No, I don't mean Al Gore. I can't imagine how an artificial intelligence could be worse than the current prospects.

    Heck, if we had open-sourced AI candidates, at least we would know what we were getting.

  8. Help or Hurt? on A New DeCSS · · Score: 1

    Way to go. As if our community didn't already have a great reputation of respect for the rule of law. PR is important. You would think paid Linux evangelists (our PR guys) would set a better example by encouraging respect for the law instead of encouraging its subversion.
