    does permitting cable companies to become monopolies and not resell use of the cable or poles equal encouraging competition? Or eliminating the restrictions on phone companies? or any other losening of restrictions the FCC has done?

  8. Re:Why on Microsoft Helps Write Oklahoma's Anti-Spyware Law · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but what I do with my on brain is my buisness. Not yours. It's an excuse to disenfranchise liberals. Of course, who needs a state?

    Dude, Osama is dead. He was on dialysis. People on dialysis need pure water every three days. In the montains of Afganastan he is not getting that. Sorry, but lugging a dialysis machine, and pure water, and insulin, and spare parts for the machine is not going to happen. Poor Afghan villages do not have dialysis machines.

    That is the original use of Catch-22. Catch-22 the book has a plot that revolves around a laws like that.

  17. Re:I for one do NOT welcome our overlords ... on Homeland Security Okays Closed Proceedings · · Score: 1

    Amen. When you total up the lives we cost other countries, and the number the cost us, we end up with spilling more blood by a factor of ten since WWII. Counting brinksmanship, the total is even bigger. (Like Cuban Missile crisis.)

  18. Re:Gak! on Solving the Home Library Problem? · · Score: 1

    Dewy is amazing. I work as a volunteer at a library that uses it for everything. We use 3 digits and a canonical author name. This is easy to use for everyone. Dewey has a problem concerning allocations of digits, but besides that it works.

  19. Re:Hm. on UK Parliament to be Made Redundant? · · Score: 1

    Not quite. We don't know who burned the Reigkstag. A dutch socialist was arested for it, and freely confessed without torcher, but Himmler said he did it in a meeting. It's very hazy what happened.

  20. Re:Someone check my math... on DNA Origami · · Score: 1

    If you were using DNA for storage, why not use the sequence itself? DNA is fragile however, so some form of enzymic error correction would be needed. This implies a constant source of ATP, GTP, CTP, and TTP.

  21. Re:Blind computer scientist. on FOSS and Disabled Communities Out of Touch · · Score: 1

    Only math books would work like that. Do you think J.R.R. used LaTeX? Thanks to the real men use text editors and then a processor tradition a blind person can use most math tools. But the article is about GUI programs needing a better interface to blind people. More and more, FOSS is moving away from text-to-text, text-to-stuff tools to everything you need. Not like Xemacs, which a blind person could use if they remembered the key commands and had a screenreader, but like Eclipse. Good luck using that.

    N.B. I am not blind.

  22. Re:inconstitutional? WTF? on Senators Renew Call for .XXX Domain · · Score: 1

    The IETF recomended against .xxx as META tags would work just as well. But the IETF has litle power compaired to ICANN. Why can't the ITU step in now? They've regulated the airwaves sucesfully for seventy years now. The Internet is a no-brainer to add to their charter.

  23. Re:I beg to differ on Bully Gets In Trouble With School · · Score: 1

    A little bit of violence and a large amount of running add up. Nobody realy chases after someone after getting hit hard in some sensitive region.

  24. Re:Boys who cried wolf on Chinese Bloggers Stage Hoax · · Score: 1

    And who stopped Pol Pot? Not the Americans. It was the Vietnamese communists who invaded to bring him down. Sorry, but if you are a worker in Russia in 1917-1924 life is good under Lenin. He liberates Finland before Ghandi in India. Fact is Communists and anarchists aren't the bogeymen under the bed you expect. We're nice people, really.
