    This app might not stay on the store, but it sure won't go away.

    Cydia ftw ;)

  2. Just a thought.. on California May Reduce Carbon Emissions By Banning Black Cars · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ..but if the California's legislatures spent as much time trying to find a way out of their financial crisis as they do coming up with asinine bills like this, they just *might* come out with a budget surplus some day..

  3. Re:Yay on FileFront Shutting Down · · Score: 1

    All patches for id software games can be found on their anonymous ftp server: ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com

    Getting a decent download rate, however, is another story.

    Sweet..just the segway I needed for a tasteless French joke

  7. Re:Oracle != Linux on Oracle's Take On Red Hat Linux · · Score: 1

    All sys admins I know (including myself) wouldn't even consider it. RedHat all the way.

    All the sysadmins I know (including myself) wouldn't ever consider it. Debian all the way.

    Management on the other hand...

  8. Re:good on Apple and AT&T Sued, Again, Over 3G · · Score: 1

    How is this Apple's fault then, unless you count the fact that you can get iPhones in their Apple stores?

    It's not Apple's fault technically, but I could see them getting the blame for false advertising.

  9. good on Apple and AT&T Sued, Again, Over 3G · · Score: 3, Informative

    Good...it's high time somebody smack them around in court for their bullshit data service. Although the connection to the tower is fine, it's slow as balls from the tower out. I mean christ, I experience lag when typing via an ssh session, something I haven't experienced since the dark ages of dialup.

  10. Anand rocks on AnandTech Gives the Skinny On Recent SSD Offerings · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Anand rocks. This article is very informative and easy to read, not to mention unbiased. Anand is known for his lack of personal bias in his reviews. Highly recommend you give it a good read.

  11. The obvious solution... on Making Sense of Mismatched Certificates? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    DO NOT continue banking online, and call them to let them know of the problem. Continue banking over the phone or in person (I know..it's a pain in the ass compared to doing it online, but it's nothing compared to having to deal with identity theft).

  12. Re:Does it adhere to standards? on Look Out, Firefox 3 — IE8 Is Back On Top For Now · · Score: 1

    >There's only one piece of extra code needed when a page won't render properly in IE.
    > Page doesn't look right? Click here.

    lolz. You obviously don't work in the software field. If I pulled something like that on a regular basis, I probably wouldn't have a job to speak of.

  13. Re:good on Intel Threatens To Revoke AMD's x86 License · · Score: 1

    i hope they do, and AMD start producing cheap reliable PowerPC chips so we can all move over to a decent platform.

    Right...so instead of having Intel's patents to worry about, they'd have Apple, IBM, and Motorola's patents to worry about...

  14. Bluetooth keyboard on What Features Should Be Included With iPhone 3.0? · · Score: 1

    The ability to use a bluetooth keyboard. Would make having to sysadmin some shit while on a camping trip much easier.

  15. on the other hand.. on AMD — "We're Not Entirely Honest" About Batteries · · Score: 4, Funny

    ..at least they're being honest about not being entirely honest..

    That'll teach those terrorists to travel with their terrorist tote-bags!

  17. FFMPEG == digital God on An Interview With the Developers of FFmpeg · · Score: 1

    ffmpeg is a godsend to the FOSS community. Great work to the ffmpeg developers and I know I speak for a lot of people when I say that I'm looking forward to the fruits of their hard work.

  18. Oblig simpsons quote on ISS's Node 3 Might Be Named "Colbert" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Principal Skinner: All students please proceed immediately to an assembly in the Butthead Memorial Auditorium.
    Principal Skinner (to himself): Dammit, I wish we hadn't let the students name that one.

  19. Re:x86? on Nvidia Mulls Cheap, Integrated x86 Chip · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why botther at all? Better go straight to x64, I mean, even the lowliest of nvidia GPUs is already 64 bits, why bother with 32 bits technology?

    They day an embedded system's CPU needs to address more than 4 gigs of memory (which is essentially why you would shift from a 32-bit to 64-bit CPU) is the day my shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet.

  20. Prediction.. on Nvidia Mulls Cheap, Integrated x86 Chip · · Score: 5, Funny

    Nvidia develops a very basic x86 CPU thats tightly coupled to one of their embedded GPUs that doesn't implement any x86 technology that's still currently patent-protected. The basic x86 CPU acts as a shim for software that expects to talk to an x86 CPU and offloads as much as possible to the significantly more advanced GPU running the bulk of the load. The end result? An x86-compatible embedded system that vastly outperforms anything currently on the market that doesn't violate anyone's active x86 patents.

  21. Prostitutes? on Sheriff Sues Craiglist For Prostitution Ads · · Score: 4, Funny

    So you mean to say all those fine women I took out on dates from craigslist were hookers! I guess that would explain the black eye and lack of memory the next morning after I refused to let her "borrow" some money.

  22. Re:a word about contracts on Doctors Silencing Online Patient Reviews Via Contract · · Score: 1

    Just because it's on paper and signed, doesn't mean it's necessarily enforcible in court.

  24. Re:Hell must have frozen over on Dan Bernstein Confirms Security Flaw In Djbdns · · Score: 1

    DJB writes good stable software but I get the impression he is not a good listener.

    Agreed. I have issues with his 'fuck what the rest of the community does, it's my way or the high way' mentality. One of the reasons I opted for MaraDNS instead of djbdns at one of our smaller sites.
