  1. Re:Cheaper way on ARM Chips Designed For 480-Core Servers · · Score: -1

    I was going to post that! Darn ...

  2. Aha! on How Cyborg Tech Could Link the Minds of the World · · Score: 0

    This breaks the spirit law... Imagine the noise you would get if every car crazy in the world were plugged directly into your mind in an arbitrarily controlled manner. LOL, you'd be hearing voices like crazy. I also think the genetic modification suggested breaks it as well. All this is quite ionic as the punishment for breach of the spirit law is...

  3. Games on Multi-Core Voltage Regulators To Increase Processor Efficiency · · Score: 0

    Does anyone remember intelligent processor cycling on mac portables? It guesses wrong and makes your games run clicky. Remember marathon on a 520c...

  4. Robot Fish "Charlie" on CIA Shows Off (Formerly) Super-Secret Spy Goodies · · Score: 0

    I have got to have me one of these! ...

  5. Spirit Law on UK Government Wants to Spring Ahead Two Hours · · Score: 0

    It violates the spirit law to change a countries clock system so that it subsequently gives a false location of the sun in the sky. Grindalf

  6. Hmmm... on Motorola Xoom Won't Have Flash Support At Launch · · Score: 0

    Isn't flash support dependent on the browser object model? DL a different browser... It works if you do that in the beta...

  7. Broken Logic on Why You Shouldn't Reboot Unix Servers · · Score: 0

    Is it just me, or is the logic behind this article broken?

  8. The Reverse is Also True on Confidential Data Not Safe On Solid State Disks · · Score: 0

    SSD is also too easily wiped for important historical data, I think optical media is much better for long term storage of data.

  9. Electricity or Gasoline? on Stanford, UCD Researchers Say 100% Renewable Energy Possible By 2050 · · Score: 0

    Why use the implied polemic "Electricity and Gasoline"? Is he pushing the standard lie that, if the world replaces food crops with flammable plant oil, the new version will be CO2 free? Is CO2 really a problem yet anyway? This implication is not only false science, it could cause international havoc by raising the price of food.

  10. Rune Law Violation on Sperm Made From Female Bone Marrow, Men Obsolete? · · Score: 0

    In performing this experiment, they are meddling in forces that they cannot possibly understand or control and will surely die. Grindalf

  11. ISO on What's New in OpenBSD 4.2? · · Score: 0

    I'm very happy with the ISO image concept - much less time wasted during the install making bootable images etc! G

  12. Pictoral Password Systems on Picture Passwords More Secure than Text · · Score: 0

    Newcastle Uni in the news again! Way to go... Toon Army! Grindalf

  13. The Opposite of Inbreeding on A Side Effect of Testosterone Poisoning · · Score: 0

    Albert Einstein was an alpha male - the fear of alphas that short circuits the mind and makes some people impute stupidity is called alpha male syndrome. High levels of testosterone and intelligence are NOT opposites but a sign that things are working well and normally go together in men that are less interbred. Try looking for a correspondence between INBREEDING (5th cousins etc.) and troll like behaviour.

  14. Microsoft Bad Spirit on Linus Responds To Microsoft Patent Claims · · Score: 0

    Microsoft have made a terrifying mistake to attempt this - they are meddling with forces that they cannot possibly control and will be destroyed in the laboratory of their own contrivance.

  15. Fulcan on Mission Could Seek Out Spock's Home Planet · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The historical origins. Fulcan is than name given to Earth at the time of the Dinosaurs. Fulcan was nearly wiped out when a meteorite hit earth, causing the Dinosaurs to die breathing fire / burning air. The Dinosaurs are called the Dragna in the "Wic" religion or Dragons in modern day English and Fulcan is a planitary deity in "Wic", and is also called "the lost planet" as everything was nearly killed in the following environmental catyclism.

  16. Arrrrrgh! on IPv6 Flaw Could Greatly Amplify DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    syn ack syn ack syn ack aieeeee thud!

  17. How about that Northrop Grummen on NASA Unveils Hubble's Successor · · Score: 0

    How is it that Grummen stuff always looks like its made with origami? :0)

  18. Greenpeace on Answers From Steve Jobs at Apple's Shareholder Meeting · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think Greenpeace's Science - particularly with respect to greenhouse effect solutions is muddled - like the scientists don't have steering control. It would be cool if some one who's a expert and who's used to dealing with politicians (i.e who posesses a stron persona) examined exactly where they are headed and corrected that for them as it destroys their cause.

  19. Easy on Are Sysadmins Really that Bad? · · Score: 0

    Interchange the roles of software writer and sysadmin in companies that do software - you stop treading on each other's toes. I also found if you talk to people with broke machines and fix them up so that they go properly, you take less abuse :0) Also - Home Brew Builder Stephen Wozniak's Joke was slightly missquoted by your post - read it, it's a good one liner.

  20. Come weeth mee eef you wand to relive on New "Terminator" Trilogy Planned · · Score: 0

    How could you top the original movie, it's got gibs, blood, feng suey red / blue light colouration, alpha males and females, electonic spark effects and robots with machine guns!

  21. Database Tips on MySQL Cards and Charts · · Score: 0

    I always write my own database when developing software - that way you always know how it works and can customise infinitely without looking stuff up. TOP TIP!

  22. At Last on Earth's Species To Be Cataloged On the Web · · Score: 0

    Does this mean that a cure has been found for human genetics.

  23. Hmmm on Proposed Legislation Is Mooninite Fallout · · Score: 0

    This reads like something from www.theonion.com .

  24. Writers on Think Tank Report On the State of Open Source · · Score: 0

    I didn't notice any of the linux writers themselves contributing to this paper. Hmmmmmm...

  25. Illegal Software on Would You Install Pirated Software at Work? · · Score: 0

    Having worked in IT and in managment consultancies for years... Make sure you keep a copy of the instructions in writing, ask for one to cover yourself if not. Normally accounting auditors check for this when auditing accounts for your organisation - if you have a printout of the instructions this shifts the blame onto the manager who is effectively the author of the illegal act. It is important that you have your instructions in writing when dealing with a criminal boss.
