  1. Re:I trained in Kung Fu for 6 years on You, Too, Could Be Batman In 10 To 12 Years · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When you find yourself in a fair fight, it's time to reevaluate your tactics.

  2. Re:The real issue is . . . . on MS Security Patch Blocks Net Access For ZoneAlarm Users · · Score: 1

    Explain to me why Microsoft should be supporting for ZoneAlarm at all, regardless of its popularity? it's not Microsoft's responsibility to make sure CheckPoint's software runs on their systems - it's CheckPoint's.

  3. I had these in my apartment. on Swarming Ants Destroy Electronics in Texas · · Score: 4, Interesting

    In 2002 or 2003 while living in Pasadena, my roommate and I were cleaning, and tried to move our N64 from the floor to a shelf. Under it, we found a brown mass which turned out to me a massive clump of these ants. We hosed them in insecticide, cleaned up the mess, and figured it was just a freak occurrence. A few days later I found a similar clump completely engulfing the powerhead on a small tank of cichlids. Being that cichlids will eat anything, I used a water bottle and hosed them all into the tank to be devoured. I had to replace the powerhead afterwards, and the N64 never worked right again.

    The complex wrote it off as a side-effect of the recent heavy rain, and did nothing.

    So we should power the spacecraft with laxative burritos?

    >If they were both profitable, why allow a merger? because neither is profitable, nor have they ever been. Both of these companies bleed cash like a menstruating hemophiliac.

    I wonder how much better off everyone would be if we could protect them from themselves!

    They're already doing that.

  10. Re:This could save print journalism. on FCC Ignores Public, Relaxes Media Ownership · · Score: 1

    Why should a dying business model be saved? What makes it different from any other business who's time has passed?

  11. Re:Half way solution: GPS on Playing With Atomic Clocks At Home · · Score: 1

    That's why you should run a local ntpd server and sync your machines to it instead of having all your nodes sync to some external ntp source. Sync the master, and let your client machines sync to it.

  13. My sister has a Zune... on Why Microsoft's Zune is Still Failing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...and hates it. She complains about the interface to the unit itself, hates playlists, as well as the interface to the computer - the Zune software. She despises the fact that the Zune software indexes and imports whatever it finds and that she can't delete media from the Zune outside of the PC-ased Zune software. In her opinion the no-name, cheap-ass, 1g flash-based MP3 player she won in a company raffle vastly outperforms her Zune in every way that matters to her, namely; she can manage it on a filesystem level when she plugs it into her PC, there is no DRM so she can listen to her e-books, and she does't have to learn a new software interface just to use it. As far as she's concerned, it's a drive letter when she plugs it in and everything she puts there, she can listen to when she unplugs it. When the Zune behaves like that, it'll be viable. Until then, it's junk.

  19. This is what Running with Scissors does... on Manhunt 2 Could Beat Ban With Digital Download · · Score: 1
