  1. Re:Yeah not sure it's caused by 'cold'. on Could Global Warming Make Life on Earth Better? · · Score: 1

    You will probably find more germs in warmer areas than colder areas , but it's not because they all move there , it's because they reproduce quicker in warmer areas than in colder areas . in the immune system is weaker because the body uses sunlight to sustain the immune system (creates vitamin's) , and in the winter there is less sunlight . so we need more sunny days , but not to warm :-)

  2. Re:What is this, another FUD article?! on Sun Says, "Compensate OSS Developers" · · Score: 1

    who's to say deelopers can't create a program what can cure cancer ? a distributed computing project like http://boinc.berkeley.edu/

  3. Re:Obl. on Conservative Sarkozy Wins Presidency of France · · Score: 3, Insightful

    you mean it has been abused as a motto . That doesn't make a statement about joy for working a nazi statement . True , his opponents will probably use it against him . but that's just the ill nature of politics .

  4. Re:Authority on Harvard Law Professor Urges University to Fight RIAA · · Score: 1

    yes , i now , the law is always on the side of big corporations with lots of money . but that doesn't make the law right .

    colleges/students stand for the future . if anyone should fight ther RIAA, it's them .

    and yes , they should take the risk . it will earn them much more respect than cowardly submitting to the RIAA .

  5. Re:Poor choice of name on Prosecutor Announces Charges Against Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    see the movie "Steal this Film" :

    http://www.stealthisfilm.com/

    it's explained quite good . there are also other , more offical articles about it .

  6. Re:seriously on Prosecutor Announces Charges Against Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    well , maybe you have a lesser sence of humor than me . I personnaly love the way they respond to legal threats .
    But i guess tastes may differ .

    Anyway , as they state themselves , what they do is not illegal in Sweden .They don't store copyrighted information . The tracker just makes it possible for you to find people who have the copyrighted files .

    Bassicaly , if you make TPB illegal , you should make Google illegal too .

  7. Re:Understood... on Student Arrested for Making Videogame Map of School · · Score: 1

    this is crazy . i've been wanting to create a map of my school a long time ago . never finished it because it's a lot of work.

    this guy deserves a medal for all the hard work , and the promotion he gave his school .

    Shouldn't they be going after the real criminals instead of harrasing innocent people .

  8. correction on MS Releases New Media Player Firefox Plugin · · Score: 1

    correction of previous post : technical support IS available for much open source stuff too

  9. Re:Unlike the state of Florida or parts of it on MS Releases New Media Player Firefox Plugin · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    technical support is not available for much open source stuff too . and if the proprietary stuff would really be better , there would be less need for technical support . It basically how Microsoft works . they release stuff they know is buggy , so there is more need for technical support .And it has worked out very well for them .

  10. Re:Hardly the highest frequency! on Record High Frequency Achieved · · Score: 1

    Well , at least he's not insulting people while hiding behind anonymity , like you did in the above post.

  11. Re:Xine on New Sony DVDs Not Working In Some Players · · Score: 1

    Really , it's still illegal here (Belgium ). even though I have to pay copyright on every CD-R/DVD-R i buy to put linux distros on ( that's the only reason i use them , portable hard drives are much more usefull )

  12. Re:Say goodbye to the Blacksmiths of this century on Internet Blackout Threat for Music Thieves in AU · · Score: 4, Insightful

    parasites ? How is that possible when we pay for traffic like everyone else . and please tell me why i'm not allowed to download a new Linux distro via Bittorent ?

  13. Re:Slash-egos prevent this on Internet Blackout Threat for Music Thieves in AU · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I disagree . people who download much (like pirates) will probably pay for higher bandwidth . So if they reduce your bandwidth , you should pay less . so they will lose money .

  14. Re:Unclean Hands on EFF Jumps in Against RIAA for Copyright Misuse · · Score: 1

    well you could ask nicer .
    this is what you need ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IANAL/

  15. Re:Real mature on Blogger Freed After 226 Days in Jail For Contempt · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Never used anything besides Windows , am i right ? You should try Ubuntu at least . that's should be easy enough for you .

  16. Re:Soul? on Should Chimps Have Human Rights? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    everything that exists has a soul . that's what i believe anyway .

  17. Re:Game where computer seems like it is thinking on Most Impressive Game AI? · · Score: 1

    thx for overreacting .

  18. Re:April 1st on Google Launches Free Wireless Broadband · · Score: 2, Informative

    i would if i had mod points .

  19. Re:Type thoughts? on Scientists Demonstrate Thought-Controlled Computer · · Score: 1

    the problem with thinking words is that you may end up thinking about something related , so you would get a lot of garbage in the text .

    for example : you may think "food" and immediately imagine a pizza so you would get "food pizza" instead of just "food" .

    Or does it filter this out somehow ?

    now if i can just find my tinfoil hat .

  20. Re:you can't stop me on Web Censorship on the Increase · · Score: 1

    using tunneling with encryption would make filtering keywords pointless . you could also use a proxy from a country wich doesn't block the site . it's sad that so many countries still do this though . they all seem to think they must protect their people against new ideas . But they forget that you just can't stop an idea .

  21. Re:Accomplishments? on Microsoft Cracking Open the Door To OSS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    well , that's the beauty of open source . you may have a good idea but suck at coding /graphical design , and then some one takes a look at your project and improves the code . then someone else improves the graphical design ,etc ..

    With closed source people will just say it sucks and that will be the end of it .

  22. Re:join the EFF on DoJ Mulls Tracking Picture Uploads · · Score: 2, Interesting
  23. Re:WMP only??? on BitTorrent Legit Service Launches · · Score: 1

    I'd say you're DEFINITELY not a lawyer, or else the Belgians are more cracked than I thought, since that seems like an outrageously ridiculous law

    well we have many ridiculous laws . but i doubt that it's really illegal ( maybe illegal , but not enforced )
  24. Re:Killed?? on Woman Killed In Wii-Related Competition · · Score: 1

    true , but 'killed' will give more clicks than 'dies' .

    I actually thought that the Wii killed her . i was thinking about http://www.wiihaveaproblem.com/
