  1. IBM's Turing Test Candidate: PJ on SCO Vs. Groklaw · · Score: 2, Funny

    C'mon Y'all ! This is IBM we're talking about !

    'PJ' is the name of IBM's shiny-new, experimental Turing Test Candidate Machine.

    Can you tell the difference between IBM's PJ Package and a human being ?

    I certainly can't ...

    I sure hope IBM open sources their PJ Library !

  2. Re:Why is the delay such a big deal? on Vista Gets Official Release Dates · · Score: 1

    Two words: Software Assurance.

    Imagine you were a Big Biz and you shelled out
    $Thousands ($Millions?) for SA so you were always
    'up-to-date'.

    Vista / Office delays might be a big deal to you.

  3. Data Structures and Algorithms on Advanced Data Structures? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Data Structures and Algorithms (ISBN 0201000237) by Aho, Ullman and Hopcroft is a classic that belongs on every programmer's bookshelf (hell, keep it on your desk!).

  4. Last Time I took a Dvorak ... on The Microsoft Protection Racket · · Score: 1

    Ahh yes ..

    The last time I took a Dvorak, I needed a whole roll to clean up after myself.

    Not only that, there was a nasty greasy smear in the bowl and my roommate threatened to evict me for the stench.

    Dvorak is some pretty awful stuff in my book.

    Hmmm ...

    Download Maestro and the Maestro-UserGuide.pdf.

    Justin might be an intern but his name is on
    the title page of the Maestro User's Guide
    among the five authors (P.G Bakes, J.S. Norris,
    M.W. Powell, M.A. Vonta and J.V.Wick).

    Great work Justin !

    Thank you and NASA for the work !

    .. cut ...

    Four things that make WebDav's so
    cool ...

    And don't forget to add ...

    WebDAV like SOAP makes it real easy
    for developers to sneak your data
    thru pesky firewalls using Port 80.

    That-a-Way, we can all share all our
    Corp Documents with the WFW ( Whole
    Effing World )

  9. Will the Accused Ever Face The Accuser ? on Hacking Crime Victims to Remain Secret · · Score: 1

    The Constitution on the US (CotUS) guarantees
    the accused the right to face the accuser.

    If the case gets to trial, the case is on
    the public record.

    So much for either the victim remaining
    anonymous or the CotUS.

  12. Re:Simple way of seeing what files were create/mod on Monitoring What Files Your Applications Leave Behind? · · Score: 2

    This is more-or-less my method. However a
    couple comments.

    I make a directory ( say, /root/changelog )
    and place all such package installation
    find-listings in that directory.

    The only other change is that most times,
    the installed files retain their original
    dates. To overcome this, I recommend using
    the find-flag -cnewer ( changed newer )
    sequence ( assume 'some-new-package' is the
    new software package )

    touch ./root/changelog/foo
    # install your software now
    find / -cnewer /root/changelog/foo -print \
    |tee /root/changelog/some-new-package-file.lst

    The file /root/changelog/some-new-package-file.lst
    will contain a list of all changed files on the
    system.

    p.s. This is also useful for figuring out what
    files a GooEY admin menu affects.

    Do the touch ; Do the GooEY ; do the find-command

  13. OK but the 'See Also' is the Real Keeper on Jobs Plays It Frank · · Score: 1

    Nice to see Jobs is such a regular guy(tm).

    That See Also article (Microsoft Suite on OS X) is a real keeper though.

    So. If M$ ports Office 2K to OS X, does that mean we also have a port for BSD and friends as well ?

    hmmm ... ( OT alert ) ...

    How can H2O-based liquid at 190F cause 3rd degree burns ?

    Isn't a 3rd degree burn defined as charred meat ?

    I could see blisters ( 2nd degree burns ), but charred
    meat from coffee in the crotch seems a bit of a stretch.

    just wondering.
