  3. Re:Meh....SDSC has 2 PetaBytes of online storage on Inside the Lucasfilm datacenter · · Score: 1

    Hum of equipment? Either it's not much of a datacenter or your hearing is already shot.

    If they don't do everything right, do you return a 404 error?

  6. Re:"standardized spots" on AMD Aims At New Standard for Motherboards · · Score: 1

    The PS/2 also had electrical problems with hotplug.

    You still can't tell which way is up with USB. Half the time, I end up trying to jam USB plugs in the wrong way. At least the sockets appear to be mechanically robust.

    Houston, we have the solution.

  8. Re:Uh, no... on The World's Most Powerful Diesel Engine · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, the engine still spins the same way.

  9. Re:Specific to Albany, NY area on Chaos and Your Everyday Traffic Jam · · Score: 1

    Pittsburgh has big electronic signs which say this outside the Squirrel Hill tunnnels. There's usually a backup well past the sign and it only brings more attention to the problem.

  10. Why bbc? on Discovery Lands in Florida · · Score: 3, Informative

    Of all news sources, why the random BBC link? Why not link to the shuttle website?

  11. Re:which raises the question... on Military Tech for Daily Life · · Score: 1

    Nah, that product got stuck in the pipeline.

    Please don't take my name in vain.

    Thanks.

  15. Tags (beta) on Mainstream Media To Start "Crowdsourcing" · · Score: 1

    I tried to add "crowdsourcing" to the tags and the "handy" pop-down spellchecker replaced it with "crap" when I hit enter. What gives?

  16. From the ... dept on China Moving to Real Name Registrations for Blogs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Is it too much to ask for a little professionalism with an article's "from the ... dept"?

  17. Re:NO NO NO. on Microsoft Agrees to Changes in Vista Security · · Score: 1

    Nice idea, but it's an EU problem... and, oddly enough, Switzerland isn't part of the EU.

  18. Re:DUP nothing to see here..Move along on Charge in 5 minutes, Drive 500 miles? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Different editor. Come on, give 'em a break. You can't expect effective communication in the electronic age.

    Force this upon each user at the next MSFT developer's conference. How many times will the keynote be interrupted before this feature is canned?

  20. Re:I sense a little two-faced opinion here on Wayback Machine Safe, Settlement Disappointing · · Score: 1

    What is their policy for websites that no longer exist? Their website says nothing about this.

    I want to remove archives of my websites for hostnames/domains that are no longer connected to the internet. Obviously, the robots.txt method cannot work here.

  21. Re:Steal my lunch on Heroic IT Dept Less Likely to Steal... Lunches? · · Score: 1

    > If it came down to it he could have simply said he'd been blocked up lately and it was for his own health reasons.

    Instructing someone to deliberately lie? Great plan.

  22. Re:AdventNet ServiceDesk Plus on IT Asset Tracking and Helpdesk Software? · · Score: 1

    A sever discount? Be careful, they might cut more than just the price. Ouch.

  24. Re:Marker Board Walls on IT Reference Posters? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can pick up whiteboard wainscoting at Lowes for $10 for a 3x4' panel. It's incredibly economical and of decent quality if you mount it properly.

  25. Re:Don't do it. on Resources for Programming Course TA? · · Score: 1

    Especially when students change "left" to "l" and "this" to "that". Many of them never bother to compile afterwards.
