  1. Re:just modernize UT2k4 on The Next Unreal Tournament: Totally Free, Developed By Public · · Score: 1

    Actually they do still play UT. Check out globalunreal.com it is an active community of around 300 players with draft leagues run 4-6 times a year in various mods.

  2. Douglas Adams was right on Male Scent Molecules May Be Compromising Biomedical Research · · Score: 1

    The mice are experimenting on us! Someone get to Alpha Centauri quick and get the triplicate forms filled out to prevent the demolition of Earth!

  3. Re:Enterprises Will Like This! on Mozilla Announces Long Term Support Version of Firefox · · Score: 1

    Most bash systems have ^W as backward-kill-word.

  4. take a VCS history walk on Ask Slashdot: Best Programs To Learn From? · · Score: 1

    Find a project that has its main history all the way back to the beginning. Use a git or mercurial repo as then you will have the complete history on your computer. The check out the first commit and work your way through the history and watch how it gets built up.

    As you move through the history pay attention to the commit messages and the changes that were made. You begin to really understand what the developer is doing. Eventually the project will get to be so big that you won't be able to keep track of everything.

    I did this with the git source itself. It was pretty neat to see it come together. Then when I found a bug it was easy to find the part in the code where the bug actually was found.

  5. Global Defenestration Demoed In Google Earth on Global Deforestation Demoed In Google Earth · · Score: 1

    Was I the only one that wondered what was being thrown out a window?

  6. Re:So... the solution is more nukes? on 10% of US Energy Derived From Old Soviet Nukes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well, the making of nukes falls under a large defense budget, but to refine the fuel under the utility budget makes it more expensive.

  7. Sturdy Examples on CDC Adopts Near Real-Time Flu Tracking System · · Score: 1

    While fir is a great building material, I don't think it applies in these examples

  8. Re:Gmail is not ready. on Los Angeles Goes Google Apps With Microsoft Cash · · Score: 1

    my point was outage on gmail != outage on GovCloud

    I imagine what will happen if they use the same gmail code will be something along the lines of.
    dev > test > gmail > GovCloud

    GovCloud would be the ultra-stable, world tested, code.

  9. Re:Gmail is not ready. on Los Angeles Goes Google Apps With Microsoft Cash · · Score: 5, Informative

    "This GovCloud would be encrypted and 'physically and logically segregated' from Google's standard applications." I'm sure the gmail outages are the reason for this part. Physically and logically segregated means that if gmail goes down, GovCloud won't. If your exchange team had to manage the email for millions of users they would be having more outages then gmail.

  10. IE6 on SANS Report Says Organizations Focusing On the Wrong Security Threats · · Score: 4, Funny

    Seriously big corporate needs to get off their asses and upgrade their internal web apps to run on IE7 or IE8 atleast.

  13. Re:If they are still not dimmable they still suck on LED Lighting As Cheap As CFLs Invented · · Score: 1

    Well some people can see the flicker of PWM. A friend of mine can have a migraine set off by them. Changing the current would be the only way he could have dimable LEDs in any area we was in.

  14. Hello World! on Jaguar, World's Most Powerful Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    That would be my program if I had a chance to run something on it. I would make sure it ran on every core too.
