  1. Please just remember... on Tanenbaum Rebuts Ken Brown · · Score: 1

    if you buy his book, you give him money.

  2. Re:I would be wary of this news on Sun COO Schwartz Promises Open Source Solaris · · Score: 1

    Trying to create an osborne effect?

  3. To anybody competing on U of Chicago Scavenger Hunt List - 2004 · · Score: 4, Funny

    I have that tatoo already, and for five dolars, you can use me in your game.

  4. Re:The Janitors Liberation Organization on BASIC Computer Language Turns 40 · · Score: 1

    No, that's Perl.

  5. First off, this is dumb. on Bicycle Riding on Square Wheels · · Score: 1

    It's just a little too obvious.

    But, what would be a cool adaptation of this, would be to have an active suspension that with those same squares wheels, you would be able to ride on a level surface. (Hint: the wheeles would need to move up and down in the same pattern as that shaped "road")

  6. Re:SCO vs The Feds?? on SCO Aims For The Feds · · Score: 4, Funny

    root them all. let god sort them out.

  7. Sue me! Sue me! on SCO Says They'll Sue A Linux User Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    what if sco was a naked woman on the beach?

  8. Re:Your comment + your sig on DRM Technology To Be Added To MP3 Format · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The big problem with this, and a big reason that acronyms are so widley used, is that this more verbose version is not proper or even meaningful english. "digital rights management-enabled" does not mean the same thing as drm-emabled. Even "digital-rights-management-enabled" is subtlely different. "drm" is a (defacto) noun, whereas "digital rights management" is not. Granted, it's a _thing_, but not a noun.
    To properly un deacronym this para, you'd need to totally rewrite it, using weird phrases.

  9. For gods sake! on FCC: VoIP Providers Must Provide 911 Services · · Score: 1

    This is totally dumb. I understand why they are doing this, but they are going about it totally wrong. 911 needs be to associated with physical connections not virtual ones. True there is no protocol so support identifying the identity, let alone the location of network nodes.

    Maybe we should insist that all voip headsets have gps built in. Hmm, well, even as an optional method, I think that a pretty good idea.

  10. Re:"The Source" :) on Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks · · Score: 1

    Dumpster-diving is my identity!

  13. Re:What's needed is a Killer App on 64-bit Linux On The Opteron · · Score: 1

    Yea, I think you are right.
    I think that 64-bit is such a strong partner to databases that I wouldn't be surprised to see oracle drop 32bit support down the road a couple of years.

  14. Be surprised if M$ goes the way Apple did? on Microsoft's New Core OS Team Learning from Linux · · Score: 1

    Not me. I be we see an open source "core" of microsoft windows in the next few years. Leaving out the gui and application api. Which they would sell as an integrated product. It certanly would be a better product. I may even use it. (Pay for it? What, are you on crack?)

    Just call up Senator Orrin Hatch and ask him to stop hacking your shit.

  17. What's the difference between this and doubleclick on Finding Friends Via Search Query Analysis · · Score: 1

    Don't you and these "friends" of yours already get the same exact marketing emails via this same exact technology?

  18. I can remember not being able to walk on What's Your Earliest Memory? · · Score: 1

    And I learned to walk at a normal age. I'm guessing that this memory is from right before or right after my first birthday. I remember it pretty clearly, though I can't quite describe the memory, because my perspective was so different then. The closest thing I can I can think of to discribe my feelings was awe. Looking up at the doorway and feeling awe. That's my earliest memory that I remember remembering.

  19. Re:What about the trees? on How To Stop Piracy: Raid CD-R Moguls · · Score: 1

    Oh, yea!? Like the Ents would allow that.

  20. Why limit your paranoia to governments? on Tracking People Via Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    Maybe Philip K. Dick was right about more then that.
    Why do you think you are not a robot?

  21. Re:Phase Velocity vs. Group Velocity on Speed Of Light Broken With Off Shelf Components · · Score: 1

    This doesn't quite make sence to me. How would the following car get the information that the proceding car has speed up? Isn't that message itself bound to be less then or equal to the speed of light?

  22. Hurry! on New MP3 License Terms Demand $0.75 Per Decoder · · Score: 1

    We better all go download winamp while we still can.

  23. That's amazing on Next-Generation Chip Fabs · · Score: 1

  24. Re:Another way to stop Spam on Paul Graham on Fighting Spam · · Score: 1

    But, how well does this deal with, say, substribing to an email list that may not bounce your auth request but infact send it to an email list?

    Who is "We"? You and your gun? Are you holed up there now? Are you in Montana? Do you have alot of guns? Dogs too? Pickup Trucks? Do you pay taxes?
