  1. Yes, but.... on 99% Blockage Isn't Good Enough, Says Napster Judge · · Score: 1

    ... as it is now all you can find on Napster is like "Don Ho's Greatest Hits" and "Boxcare Willy, Live at the Hollywood Bowl". So who'd care?


  2. No no no... on Starship Troopers: Exoskeletons and Translators · · Score: 1

    They are already running into too many setbacks. They are using Windows XP to run their systems. The test subject lifted his leg and had to call Microsoft for a new activation key...

  3. As the ad says... on Bringing Quantum Chips To The Assembly Line · · Score: 1

    "Radio Shack... You've got questions, we've got morons".

  4. From the article... on MacHack Yields Clever Tricks With Apples · · Score: 1

    "Sadly, one hacker broke the screen of his G4 PowerBook at the beginning of the conference. Only the top third of his screen still worked. Did this stop him? Did he cry out against the uncaring fates?"

    No, but he did learn a new use for shirt tails when he got the bill to fix it from Micro Center...

  5. Ah.... on Alex Chiu on Science, Religion, and Politics · · Score: 4

    You shouldn't have read it. The guy can be summarized with two words...


  6. I can see it now... on Australia Develops Space Program With Russia · · Score: 2

    Bruce: Gents, I'd like you all to meet Ivan, Igor, Greggor, and Uri.

    Uri: Hello.

    Bruce: Golly... Mind if we all just call you Bruce to avoid confusion?

    Bruce: Good suggestion, Bruce. Here, Bruce, have a cold one.

    Ivan: No! Vit zero gravity openink can of beer vill...

    Bruce: *opens can* !!FOOOOSH!!!


  7. ah well... on Computers That Solve Problems Without Being On · · Score: 1

    "The pianist goes through all the preliminary motions, but sits in silence for 4 minutes and 33 seconds -- after which, one assumes, the audience applauds. "

    A musical number without any music, and an artist without an audience going through the motions without any instruments... *sigh* I'd say it sounds like my love life, only I have an organ.


  8. Re:Firewalls, right: "Security" == JOB security. on Playing With IT, And Why It Matters · · Score: 1

    LOL!

    Sparky?

    Calling it a "troll" won't make it go away, Sparky. Sorry 'bout that.

    No need to say sorry. All you need to do is read the definition. I calls 'em as I sees 'em, and you're simply spewing to start an argument. *shrug* it is what it is. And a good one, too, considering the number of sysadmins, IT, and network people who read /.

    Anyway, when you write this amazing do it all program, I'll start looking for another skive. Until then, I don't think I'm going to loose any sleep over the "the people who have to pay the bills" replacing me with an .exe.... Sparky.

  9. Wow! Excellent Troll! on Playing With IT, And Why It Matters · · Score: 1

    Now THAT'S the way a troll should be!

    I can't wait for the day that a secretary can configure an HP4000m in one of our outside offices, save me a lot of travel. And when she's done she can install that custom kernel and build our firewall, then set up the new Cisco router.


  10. Lawyers CHANGE!? on Gaming Companies Being Sued Over Columbine · · Score: 1

    LOL!
    Oh that's rich.... A lawyer want to change things for the good! Oooh, that's a gas!! That's just about the most funny thing I've ever heard!

    Come on. There isn't a lawyer alive who isn't self serving, megalomanical, corrupt, and willing to sell his or her own mothers/childs/grandmothers/grandfathers/fathers soul to eternal hellfires if it meant getting their way or making money.


  11. Of course. on Gaming Companies Being Sued Over Columbine · · Score: 2

    "The Sanders' suit, filed hours before a two-year statute of limitations expired, claims that if not for violent games and other media images - in particular, a school massacre scene from the movie "The Basketball Diaries" - the rampage by Harris and Klebold wouldn't have happened. "

    Interesting how noone has sued the students who marauded, abused, assaulted, tormented and drove the gunmen to this point, isn't it? But of course, they were "jocks" and "preps", ergo they could not have actually DONE anything. It was harmless fun. Teasing.

    ""But money may be the smallest part of the goal," said John DeCamp, the Sanders' Nebraska-based attorney. "This is a class action that says that, ultimately, money ain't gonna do it."

    Money is the smallest part of it?!?! To whom!?? Certainly not to a lawyer! And these revolting, disgusting pathetic individuals who are so blatantly going after money and ONLY money are so utterly beneath contempt it near enough makes you sick! A suit worth BILLIONS of dollars ISN'T about the MONEY!?! Oh of course not! Silly fskcing me for thinking that it would be. Billions of dollars and it is OBVIOUSLY for the statement. How could I be so foolish?

    And of course, this bottom feeding lawyer isn't in it for the money either. He's in this for the message I'm sure.

    Look... why don't these people just come right out and say it. I mean, just say, "it sucks that our father/husband got killed.... and while we are at it we are going to take these companies for every penny we can and live high on the hog for the rest of our lives! WooHOO! Dave WHO is dead? What do we care, we have BILLIONS of dollars! YeeeeHAAAWWWWWWWWW!"

    Everyone spends time "educating" on how to "spot" the troublemakers. The geeks. The "losers". The "freaks". But no one does a fscking thing if Joe Football pounds the crap out of some kid because his glasses are too thick. Course not. THAT's just harmless fun. And if that "freak" finally snaps one day and goes into school (with guns he got easier than it is to rent a sofa) and starts getting a little of his own back, obviously we need to blame the movie/video game/entertainment industry.

    Silly f*cking me...

  12. Screwed by Northpoint... A poem. on Northpoint Points South · · Score: 3

    I write to you through AOL.
    My life's become a living hell.

    "Northpoint down? The devil you say!
    Connect us to the net, and earn your pay!"

    So 25 users, a modem share,
    "You've got Mail" now fills the air.

    This geeks unhappy, and not a poet.
    You read this saying "Brother, don't I know it!"

    My ISP has got their eyes on,
    That magical fiber owned by Verizon.

    While I sit here, screaming to those that know me,
    "Those fuxors at Northpoint can feel free to blow me!"




  13. yoiks. on Are Kids Turning Your Kids Into Killers? · · Score: 1

    First off... ASS-croft is one step to the right of Attila the Hun. I would say I'm shocked that he made it to the post he's in, then I look and see the blithering moron we have in office and remember that half the US voted for him. Willingly.

    Hell... can't blame me for that... I voted for a bush, but I voted for the smarter one!

    It's interesting... he is saying that it's TV and video games that cause these kids to lash out, not the abuse, assault, or maybe even their "good Christian peers" treating them like shit. BUT, our courts say that if some totally barking mad, raving loonies call for the MURDER of people, they aren't to blame, even if they give out names and addresses.




  14. only one thing to say.... on William Hanna Dead at 90 · · Score: 2



    Mr. Praline : It's not pinin,' it's passed on! This Hanna is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late Hanna! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he would be pushing up the daisies! Its metabolical processes are of interest only to historians! It's hopped the twig! It's shuffled off this mortal coil! It's run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! This.... is an EX-Hanna!

    Owner : Well, I'd better replace it, then.


  15. Texas? on Report On The Texas Censorware Bill · · Score: 1

    "This lowers Texas on the list of "states to move to" when my lease runs out."

    Let's face it... any state where Guinness can not be sold as "beer" (it is a "stout", therefore not sold as beer and harder to find than hens teeth), hand guns can be carried anywhere, concealed, even in church, and automatic weapons are easier to get than, say, renting furniture... Uh uh... not for me.

  16. Translations of the article. on Linuxgruven Deorbits · · Score: 2

    "We're currently taking inventory of our current resources, assets and equipment," they wrote.

    Translation: We are running like hell for the Mexican border

    "As soon as we get a clearer picture of what we have, we'll know when you can expect to get your money."

    Translation: We are counting the cash as we go, you can expect to see your money when the Pope gets that sex change operation and shacks up with a black man named Fred.

    "We are doing everything we can to get you your money as quickly as possible"

  17. Backdoor? Like hell! on Bundeswehr Says Microsoft Software Verboten · · Score: 1

  18. Internap? on DDoS Detection Devices · · Score: 2

    I spoke to a sales weasel from Internap and they claim to be able to get around/stop/put an end to/whatever DDoS attacks without that sort of invasion of privacy.

    What he said they do is, rather than lease their lines from one backbone provider like Sprint or Genuity/BBN, they lease from 12 major providers. His claim was to be able to shut a customer who was being attacked off from one backbone and re-route all traffic to and through another faster than a DDoS attacker could shift gears.

    Anyone have any experience with this company? Was this cat just blowing his own horn?

  19. Let them sell them. on Tiny, Secure Music/Data CDs Due in the Fall · · Score: 2
    "Labels may see DataPlay as a way to get ahead of the trend in ultrasmall MP3 portables -- and a new way to sell music in a format fully protected from copying."

    Let them sell the little buggers to their black little hearts content. *shrug* Nothing can make me or anyone else buy them.

    I and all users would have a choice. Either:
    • Stick with larger CD's and current hardware technology, and continue to have the freedom to compile our own mixes if we want.

    OR
    • Purchase new and quite likely over priced technology which would restrict the use of said smaller media.


    Now... I'm not going to any MENSA meetings, but you really have to be rucking fetarded to either puchase these mini cd's or think that average public would be stupid enough to buy them.

    hmmm... on second thought... Full House was on the air for 8 years.
  20. ahhhhhhhhhhhhTHUD! on Stratospheric Skydiving · · Score: 3

    "An experienced skydiver, speedboat racer, scuba diver, and, before that, an insurance salesman,.."

    *sigh* now if only we could get more insurance salesmen to do this.

    "Millner believes that he will reach a speed of between 700 and 900 miles per hour within one minute of leaping from the balloon."

    And within about that same time be carrying a small sewage plant in his undies.

  24. I believe in Santa, too. on N2H2 Drops Plans to Sell Student Web-Browsing Information · · Score: 2

    Goldblatt said that no personally identifiable data about kids were ever collected or sold. Federal law prohibits collection or sale of a child's personal information without parental permission.

    Yeah, well federal law also prohibits the reading and interception of personal correspondences through the postal system, and yet doing so with my email (boring though it may be) is fine. If they feel like it, lets face it... they'll do it.

    Anyone foolish enough to believe that the government of their nation would not willingly and happily sell you out for it's own purposes... well, if you're that foolish I have some really peachy real estate in Florida to sell you.

    If you told anyone at the DOD or in politics that selling information about kids or selling their own grandparents into slavery would further their careers, you'd hear two sonic booms. One from Granny and Grampy being wheeled to the auction block, and the other from some lackey pulling data on what sites Junior looked at in school that day.


  25. Maybe. on Where Is The Line Between Programmer And Artist? · · Score: 1

    ..., but have you ever worked with artists? You're still probably doing more.
