  1. Re:Um, Thanks But No on Google Releases Source To Chromium OS · · Score: 1

    Anything that hurts Microsoft's market share is a good thing.

    They need enough competition to care about quality and security, and low enough market share to get more companies doing cross platform.

  2. Re:Hmmmm on US Government Using PS3s To Break Encryption · · Score: 1

    The website (ie, most websites) probably doesn't even encrypt the data or even your password. Password strength isn't a serious issue there, if a government gets involved, the data will be theirs.

  3. RFC 1149 on Internet Slower Than Rat, Horse, Rabbit, and Dog · · Score: 1

    RFC 1149 wins again.

    Tho you are really better off using RFC 2549 instead.

  4. Re:Meanwhile... on New Threats Against Pirate Bay Owners · · Score: 1

    WTF, Inglorious Basterds(sic) was awesome.

  5. Maybe on ASCIIpOrtal Has Been Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    the server wouldn't be /.ed if the summery had bothered to include links to the mentioned mirrors.

  6. Re:Do the same to Microsoft on "Right To Repair" Bill Advances In Massachusetts · · Score: 1

    That is not a fair comparison. The car you own, the document is owned by Microsoft.

  7. Bootable on Which Filesystem Do You Use On Portable Media For Linux Systems? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Just boot off it. Then you can use whatever filesystem you want.

  8. Re:Must not be using silicon then... on Intel's Roadmap Includes 4nm Fab in 2022 · · Score: 1

    No. The best source of unobtainium is a wild MissingNo.

  9. Re:Truecrypt on Best Free Open Source Software For Windows · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is a Linux version of TrueCrypt.

  10. Re:Much ado about nothing. on Entropy Problems For Linux In the Cloud · · Score: 1

    The proper random number to use is 4.

  11. Re:Not so fun on Making a Game of Hardware Design · · Score: 1

    More than 5 minutes.

    I threw a quick php script to test, and let it run for 10 minutes. It didn't finish.

    C or asm would be faster, but still not enough to matter here. Regardless the answer is long.

  12. M-x butterfly on Emacs Hits Version 23 · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Best command ever.

  13. Re:Ban on text messaging while driving? on Antitrust Pressure Mounts For Wireless Providers · · Score: 1

    We don't need laws banning texting and driving. It's already covered by existing laws of dangerous driving, negligence, etc.

  14. Re:and yet NYC still has traffic jams on Rude Drivers Reduce Traffic Jams · · Score: 1

    It's done to minimize damage if somebody rear-ends you at the light -- you won't also hit the car in front of you.

    Once the person behind you has stopped, you can then pull up to the car infront of you.

    In theory it's safer. Of course nobody does it because it's weird and annoying.

  15. Re:Not all series need reboots on Which Game Series Would You Reboot? · · Score: 1

    Zelda is also the same. They are a reboot almost every time.

    Each game has the same basic story repeated with many small (and sometimes some large) changes.

  16. Re:Hell called on Microsoft Releases Linux Device Drivers As GPL · · Score: 1

    A good step. But how about some BSD licensed drivers so the BSD family of operating systems can take advantage of these performance improvements too?

  17. Re:You know you're hungry when on Free Rainbow Tables Looking For New Admin · · Score: 1

    It makes me think of smarties you insensitive clod.

  18. Re:Brainwashing is in the eye of the beholder on Korean DDoS Bots To Self-Destruct · · Score: 1

    Bush got to be president.....twice.

    It's got to be > 5/10 in the US.

  19. Re:Vista, supports the lowest raid only. on RAID Trust Issues — Windows Or a Cheap Controller? · · Score: 1

    No, only raid0.

    Microsoft doesn't want desktop systems to have redundancy because it goes against their business of selling servers.

  20. Re:Sale origin difficult to pinpoint on Rhode Island Affiliates Banned From Amazon.com Sales · · Score: 1

    > Where was the sale?

    In all of those states. They each want you to pay them sales tax.

  21. Re:my response, as requested & before deadline on "The Dog Ate My Homework" Goes Digital · · Score: 1

    Word documents don't use glibc

  22. Re:WTF? on Facebook VP Slams Intel's, AMD's Chip Performance Claims · · Score: 1

    Until mainstream web browsers are ready to use something else for HA and load balancing like PTR or NAPTR, dns round robin is about all we have.

  23. Re:java's performance depends heavilly on applicat on Automated Migration From Cobol To Java On Linux · · Score: 1

    I've never understood why the bloated standard library needs to make Java so slow to load.

    You need to import every class you use -- it should only be loading the classes (or packages depending on how you import) that you need.
