  1. Re:NeXT on Most Outrageous Vendor Lie Ever Told? · · Score: 2

    The NeXTDimension never did the mjpeg recording, unfortunately. Otherwise, you're wrong as hell.

    It has tons of software (which I use to this very day.) You don't have to learn ObjC unless you want to program at the GUI. You can use C, C++ (with your favorite modern egcs), perl, etc.

    It sure is revolutionary. All the geeks I know are getting hardons for Mac OS X.

    Steven's cute. Dude.

  3. Re:Monster cable! on Most Outrageous Vendor Lie Ever Told? · · Score: 2

    Reminds me of a Belkin or somesuch "modem cable" that was molded and had gold conductors for faster dialup internet connections. Sheesh.

    Nice shins

  5. Re:Power strips Win95 compatible on Most Outrageous Vendor Lie Ever Told? · · Score: 1

    Back when the Internet was New and Exciting, I remember seeing an "Internet compatible" mousepad ad reprinted in Abort Retry Fail.

    Reminds me of my Y2K compliant monitor. (It does have a clock of sorts in it.)

  6. Re:I should apply for a patent: on Patent Claimed on System-Level Encryption · · Score: 2

    No no no. That's re-invented every day in thousands of engineering classrooms and other such places around the world.

  7. Re:too bad about the chemo therapy... on Chase the Rabbits · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just because you smile doesn't mean that it's either funny or polite.

  8. Re:'Batlike 6th sense' on Warwick Gets a Few More Wires · · Score: 2

    I'm not sure about the remembering things. His memory enhancements are only lookup based voluntary systems, so they aren't integral. I think the article or a poster who knows him said that he only took the glasses off to shower.

  9. Re:'Batlike 6th sense' on Warwick Gets a Few More Wires · · Score: 2

    The attentive reader will have noted that the loss of perception is from switching from a 2D world (teh glasses) to the everyday 3D world. It threw off his depth perception.

  10. Re:Wow... on Warwick Gets a Few More Wires · · Score: 1

    Will it play my open source TV shows?

  11. Re:Chemistry too on Simpsons Guide to Math · · Score: 1

    Why do you think it's quantum!? Sheesh, have you people ever been in a high-level physics class?

  12. Re:A true testament to... on Soviet Moon Rocket · · Score: 2

    The attentive reader will note that the Saturn V also used kerosine. It produces more pounds of thrust than does liquid H2.

  13. Re:That picture wasn't an engine on Soviet Moon Rocket · · Score: 1

    Those are great pictures. Does anyone know what kind of locomotive is in the middle one? It looks like a US Dash 9, but it's probably some sort of russian one.

  14. Re:In a way.. on Soviet Moon Rocket · · Score: 2

    The attentive history student will note that newcomers to capitalism often appear to do it better than the established states/economies (US/Europe). The attentive student will then notice all of the downsides of capitalism that come with all of the gung-ho attitude. We've done a pretty good job of moderating the problems that inevitably arise (Russian mob, wanton smuggling, profound human misery.)

    ...and nobody cared?

  16. Re:A bit expensive on ATX PPC Motherboards from Eyetech · · Score: 1

    Hell, you can get a G3 iMac for $200 more.

  17. Re:Simply Sad on Alleged eBay Hacker Goofs up and Goes to Jail · · Score: 1

    It happened in an episode of Law&Order. :) That's no gold standard, but it's about all I know of the law.

  18. Re:Simply Sad on Alleged eBay Hacker Goofs up and Goes to Jail · · Score: 1

    Or he could be setting himself up for an 'inadequate counsel' appeal. I'm sure the judge is sufficiently wary, though.

    Zing!

  20. Re:GLP and software availability on Open Source in the Military? · · Score: 1

    Hehe, you're right -- I doubt they need it any more.

  21. Re:This just in on Open Source in the Military? · · Score: 1

    I hear his daughter's name is going to be Dr. Vandelay/Jane.

  22. Re:License it? on Open Source in the Military? · · Score: 1

    For God's sake, take a bath and do something to help people. I'll worry about moral rights to software after I don't see people begging for food on the corner in front of my apartment.

    Star Wars and Enron fans?

    No. Grow up.

  25. Re:this is free speech, not free beer on Airport Security vs. Cyborg Steve Mann · · Score: 2

    For God's sake! When's the last time you took a stroll in reality!? This "pure" information didn't just fall out of the sky onto your screen. Who do you think paid the reporter or bought the bandwidth that created this "pure" information?

    Besides, it doesn't cost money. You register, it goes into a cookie, you never think about it again. I'd register once a week for NYT on the web -- it's one of the best information sources around.

    The selfish arrogance of people he really makes me sick. People are happy to sit around and read free news, beat off to free porn, and complain about people who are doing their jobs in the military and other places while the dumbass fucks who've probably never had to worry about anything serious in their lives (myself included) stuff potato chips and wonder why there isn't a $6/hour employee to wipe the crumbs off his monitor so he can see the free pure information better and continue to complain about people who are a hell of a lot more worthwhile to society than they are.
