  1. Re:Already exists? on Google Spends $1 Million For Throttling Detection · · Score: 1
  2. Re:Summary of the Article on 10th Annual System Administrator Appreciation Day · · Score: 1

    Developers also wrote the code that crashed the server in the first place and causes all kinds of other problems on a daily basis. Way to go, guys.

  3. Oblig. Jimmy Carr on External Airbag Designed to Protect Pedestrians · · Score: 1

    As Jimmy Carr would say... "Where's the ad for swerving?" "slow down, take the edge off, but it must learn its lesson!"

  4. Re:Curved sharks? on Curved Laser Beams Could Help Tame Lightning · · Score: 1

    Mages don't do lightning, buddy. That'd be shamans.

  5. So I've gotta ask... on Working Calculator Created in LittleBigPlanet · · Score: 1, Funny

    A player called upsilandre used 610 magnetic switches, 500 wires, 430 pistons, and a variety of other objects to create a functioning calculator

    How many MPG does it get?

  6. Re:damn publishers! on Artists Strive To Wrest Rights From Music Industry · · Score: 1

    I think you're missing the point. Sounds to me like the authors are getting paid but not the performers. If these "performers" were writing their own damn songs, they wouldn't be complaining (as much). Funny how that works, eh?

  7. Re:ABS Sensor on Using Tire Pressure Sensors To Spy On Cars · · Score: 1

    On the new Evo X, the sensor is part of the special TPS-equipped valve stem. I haven't read up on the details, but there's no way that data is being transmitted 100% over a wired connection.

  8. Re:woo hoo! on New Science Standards Approved in Florida · · Score: 2, Funny

    I guess that's cool, you know, if you only ever put it in her hand...

  9. Re:Apple's finally done it on Apple QuickTime DRM Disables Video Editing Apps · · Score: 1

    It's different than it was before DRM. Fixed.

  10. Re:But there are legal reasons for BitTorrent on Interview with AT&T on BitTorrent Filtering · · Score: 1

    if you outlaw p2p, only outlaws will use p2p...oh, wait...

  11. Re:Who is ur daddy... on Reverse Engineer Finds Kindle's Hidden Features · · Score: 1

    Hey Dick, I'm Detective John Kimble. Now get out of my soundboard!

  12. Re:"Coming soon" on Duke Nukem Forever Teaser Released · · Score: 1

    "soon" as in never in the infinite span of all existence (and non-existence)

  13. in a word... on Duke Nukem Forever Teaser Released · · Score: 5, Insightful

    LIES!

  14. Re:Ooh, that could turn out messy. on Manhunt 2 Leaked By Sony Europe Employee · · Score: 3, Funny

    Then no one will get to play them...oh wait, they never would because no one bought a ps3 in the first place.

  15. Re:Storage leaps on Inventor of GMR Bids To Shake Up Storage, Again · · Score: 1

    He copied all that data over USB in less than a day? Color me impressed.

  16. Re:go for RAID-5 on RAID Vs. JBOD Vs. Standard HDDs · · Score: 1

    I should have said re-stripe instead of rebuild. Does that make more sense?

  17. Re:go for RAID-5 on RAID Vs. JBOD Vs. Standard HDDs · · Score: 1

    Read it again. I said he'll have to rebuild the array if he wants to go to bigger drives and actually utilize the disk space.

  18. Re:Duh on RAID Vs. JBOD Vs. Standard HDDs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That said, RAID is not a replacement for proper backup. RAID is just a first line of defense to avoid downtime.

    A good point. Consider, though, that most people don't run terabyte-size tape backup at home. It's not like it's business critical data, so RAID-5 is probably sufficient.

  19. go for RAID-5 on RAID Vs. JBOD Vs. Standard HDDs · · Score: 1

    I would go RAID 5. But, let's face it, you're gonna have to bite the bullet on this one...either get the bigger disks you want now, or plan on rebuilding the array down the road (and losing all your data, unless you have another mass storage device that can hold it).

  20. don't worry on Rerouting the Networks · · Score: 5, Funny

    we'll cut costs by outsourcing to china ;)

  21. Re:Team name spelling their initals in the snow on DNS Root Servers Attacked · · Score: 5, Funny

    In that case, it's GMILF. That's right, DNS is operated by a ring of hot grandmothers.

  22. proof! on Canadian Movie Piracy Claims Mostly Fiction? · · Score: 5, Funny

    there have only been 179 movies recorded with a camcorder over the past three years out of the 1,400 that the Hollywood studios released
    ..confirming that less than 13% of their crap is worth watching.

  23. Riiiiight on iPhone Faces Uncertain Market · · Score: 0

    Because if there's two things I've learned in the corporate world, they would be: A) Companies love spending more money than necessary, and B) Bosses would love to encourage their employees to listen to music on work time. Get real. No non-progressive-hippy business is going to buy these.

  24. crap..not again on Microsoft Offers Peek At Next-Gen CRM · · Score: 0

    Dammit, we just got done doing a 1.2 -> 3.0 migration. It was not pretty. Come to find out, we can't even access parts of it over the Internet anymore. At least the consolidation of the two code bases will solve THAT problem.

  25. Re:Migration on Now Is Not the Time for Vista · · Score: 0

    Think about it. We just last year began rolling out XP on new corporate machines. Some 4 years after it was released. A few of us in IT had upgraded ourselves already, so we even knew it worked fine. Little issues still pop up now and again. Hell, our parent company still has users running on win98. Companies are hesitant to make any kind of major changes to their environments. Why risk introducing new problems when things are working fine as they are?
