  1. Re:I could be wrong... on OSS Use Increasing in UK Education Institutions · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I completely agree with this but we (At least here in the UK) are way behind in law enforcement and prisions and immigration policy. We have a fucked up government over here right now (I spose you americans arent much different, the bush administration *shudders*). But think how we feel, our "leader" is in your "leader's" back pocket. Which means we are twice as screwed. Currently we have more immigrants pouring into our country than the system can support, I mean we are at full stretch now. You are right on some issues, but on others we are way behind. Australia, now theres a country.

  2. Re:My take on Doomsday from a market perspective on The NYT Imagines Life After Earth · · Score: 1

    You were almost right when you said "The State". I think what you perhaps meant to say was "The States". Now i know alot of /.'s members will be from the USA and im not trying to start a flamewar here. But the USA does waste alot of energy, and to this day they refuse to take up any of the energy saving options that Europe has taken up. They waste money and energy on wars that they then pull out of not completing their original goals, Korea anyone? "who is the worst polluter, the worst destroyer of human ingenuity and invention, the worst murderer of future geniuses and the worst controller/waster of our resources and expansion" I belive this would be the USA Government in every case. They are by far the Worst polluter, refusing to take any of the measures that the European countries have, they are the worst destroyer of human ingenuity and invention (Current US Copyright and patent laws anyone?) And through this and their wars they are (probably) the worst murder of futer geniuses. They do control much of our current resources and waste them though the current administrations warmongering. Im not saying we are perfect over here in the UK. As out sellout "leader" is bush's lapdog, Id egg him if i saw him and had a ready supply of eggs. It just seems like the current country needing the most shakeup is America.

  5. Pictures on Northrop to Sell Laser Shield Bubble for Airports · · Score: 3, Funny

    Damn it, why are there never any pictures for kickass storys like a laser shield bubble but every time Microsoft does something I have to look at Steve Ballmers sweaty face...

  7. Re:And this is bad? on State Department Hit With Many More Break-Ins · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I am so sick of that comparison. Entering a computer that has no password or no security is NOTHING like not locking the door of a house. It is what it is, someone logging on to an unsecure system, stop trying to compare it or dumb it down for the masses, this is slashdot, not congress.

  8. Re:Oh, yeah, they didn't care about any of that. on The Man Behind MySpace · · Score: 0

  10. Re:Great News on Another Microsoft Exec Joins Google · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Im sorry but when did Microsoft become "Great" in the eyes of /.? Surely this is a bad thing? Its a conspiracy, Microsoft is sending over all its Management to take google down, My god, its Perfect!

  11. And in other news... on Bill Gates to Step Down from Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Gates is also said to be taking a more active role in the Forest Preservation Association. Some within the organisation criticize him for putting chairs in danger by leaving ballmer without his constant supervision.
