I can see it now.

On: US' Capitol Hill on the Internet

We interrupt this program with a special bulletin.

America is now under martial law.

All constitutional rights have been suspended.

Anyone caught outside the gates of their subdivision sector after curfew WILL BE SHOT.

Remain calm. Do not panic.

Your neighborhood watch officer will be by to collect urine samples in the morning. Anyone caught interfering with the collection of urine samples WILL BE SHOT.

Astrobiology?

On: SGI Clarifies Multiple OS Strategy

Could someone fill me in on what astrobiology is (and why you would need a 512-processor Origin for it :)?

Not that I really *need* any hardware. Hehe. I can stop whenever I want.

3D hardware required?

On: Myth 2: Soulblighter Review

Can it do software rendering?

:( Do strategy games require 3d cards these days?

On: Nanocomputing Proof Point

I think we probably need to hear more.

Having proved that the concept might work...

Heh.

You have the right to speak, not to be heard.

On: Canadian Judge Cites Netiquette in Anti-Spam Ruling

I think it comes down to this.

You have the right to speak and you don't want to be censored. Fine. But you do *not* have the right to be heard.

If a spammer wants to fill his web pages with banner ads, good and fine. I just won't 'listen' to it by going there (or by using junkbuster :).

Can I buy just a shirt?

On: QuickieWorld

I can't go to ALS. But I'll shell out cash for a shirt.

My favorite. Linux + Starwars. Yum.

Heh. Nevermind.

Anyone know if the encryption between the client and server will be any better?

Hope it isn't running FreeBSD.

/.'ed to hell and back. ;)

Anyone got a mirror? I'd really like to see these numbers.

Are the FreeBSD guys are pounding on us for being slow?

s/SMDI/SDMI/

This could be good for us.

On: SDMI: The Music Industry Strikes Back

They'll probably put some kind of SMDI logo on it.

Don't buy a player with the logo.

Could be a big opportunity for some company to cash in on that by specifically marketing toward people who don't like the SMDI.

But doesn't caffeine cause cancer?

On: Radiation Protection: Caffeine

Um... I thought I heard that caffeine (over a long period of time) causes cancer (breast cancer in women anyway). Can anyone confirm this?

One quote says it all:

Bwahaha. Right.

Re:Good for competition.

:) I wish I had a spare machine to install on.

I depend on my system for school related stuff and I can't afford any problems (working on too many long term projects).

Good for competition.

On: SuSE larger than RedHat

Glad to hear it.

But I'm still going Debian when 2.2 is stable. :P

Cool.

On: Home Depot tests Linux for remote mangament of PCs

I really hope it works out for them. Much better than WinCE anyday.

How would you like to crash today?

On: Why eCommerce Sites collapse

But seriously... Planning planning planning. Don't run everything on one box, keep backups, have backup plans, etc, etc. If you don't do these things your site is bound to have problems

Don't feed the trolls, people.

On: Metcalfe claims Linux Can't Beat Win2000

Don't even grace them by hitting them with your web browser. They just want to see how many of us they can sucker into looking at their adverts.

If we all charge over and look at their crap, they will continue posting stuff like this to get hits.

I just wish my old highschool hadn't banned books.

On: House Might Mandate Net filtering in Libraries

There were books that we were not allowed to read in English class or have in the library. This had been going on long before I got there.

Not that I'm for net filters, but I think we should stop schools from banning books first.

Hehe. But I guess the Illuminati wouldn't want us to think for ourselves.
