  1. Re:Hmf. on ZFS, the Last Word in File Systems? · · Score: 2, Funny


    To store static routes for a lot of IPv6 addresses? :)

  2. Re:not that complicated on Google's Math Puzzle · · Score: 2, Funny


    Just think, they're probably up to about 500 hits and climbing by now.

    So long as Google's mail servers filter out messages with text such as "g00gl3 r0x0r555 h1r3 m3, f4gg0rzzz!" they've likely just hit double digits.

  3. Re:Perhaps is the user base of those versions? on Windows Fails 8% of the Time · · Score: 1


    Well, it said at least 3 years so you never know :)
    Our old Novell server here is a dual P3-1000 and only has problems when "layer 8 problems" arise....

  4. Re:Perhaps is the user base of those versions? on Windows Fails 8% of the Time · · Score: 5, Informative


    It was at least 3 years and at the University of North Carolina according to this page. Search that page for "Server Missing No More".

    Unless, of course, there was more than one Novell server walled in at a university for several years... :)

  5. Bastards.. on TiVo, ReplayTV Agree to Limits · · Score: 5, Interesting


    These two competitors have agreed on a completely arbitrary limit for recording PPV shows. Why? Think about it: the PVR market is growing. Rather than focusing on new features for the consumer (ie: "We offer 1.5 times the PPV time-limit over our competitor.") they've come to an agreement that is good for no one but themselves. There's no way in hell that they just decided to do this, the entire agreement has the fetid stink of collusion.

    Take control, this is yet another reason to dump TV entirely and download what you want to watch.

    Sorry, it's Friday, I'm in RantMode and I have First Damn Post.

  6. Should Trek Die? Yes. on Should Star Trek Die? · · Score: 1


    But I still have to scream "KHAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!" when thinking of it.

  7. Re:Um. on Windows Media Player 10 Reviewed · · Score: 1


    Step 1: Export to common format (CD Audio)
    Step 2: Import to common format (MP3)


    By doing that you're basically converting from one lossy format to another. The sound would make the neighbourhood dogs howl.

  8. Re:Umm. on Hardening Apache · · Score: 1


    Excellent links, thank you.

  9. Re:Stupid on Does Shareware X-Chat for Windows Violate the GPL? · · Score: 1

    "mIRC stinks worse than Pavoratti's turds after a week-long Chipotle binge"

    Funniest analogy all day...

  10. Re:Stupid on Does Shareware X-Chat for Windows Violate the GPL? · · Score: 1


    I can already tell that this is going to stir up alot of hatred towards GPL software.

    I don't see how it can. The person distributing the Windows version of Xchat is going against the terms of the GPL. If anything it will get a few "I told you so..." FUDish comments from those already polarized against the GPL.

  11. Peering into my crystal ball... on Jet-Powered Wheelchair · · Score: 5, Funny


    I'm not claiming to be psychic but my gut feeling is that Giuseppe Cannella's last words will be "Hey, watch this!"

  12. Re:Wow... on Top Banned Books of 2003 · · Score: 1


    Yes, we Canadians are deviants. I had to read "Of Mice and Men". Also, I recall when we had to read "Catcher in the Rye" and our teacher (when reading parts that were deemed important) actually read out loud the "Fuck You" that Holden sees on the wall. No one in class freaked out: it's literature not filth.

  13. How about... on Top Banned Books of 2003 · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    ... the removal of goatse.cx from the world because of one uptight bitch on Christmas Island? Sure, it was an eyesore but who is she to decide what's right?

    I hope her uterus falls into a campfire.

  14. Re:It is Officially . . . on Tao of Security Monitoring · · Score: 5, Funny


    You needed more catchphrases. Might I suggest "Pushing the Envelope While Thinking Outside the Box: The Paradigm Shifts of Zen and the Art of Tao Maintenance"?

  15. Re:A few bits.... on TiVo-like Application for XM Radio Under Fire · · Score: 1


    Fair enough, poor choice of words. :P

  16. Re:A few bits.... on TiVo-like Application for XM Radio Under Fire · · Score: 4, Informative


    the Recording Industry Association of America said his organization had not reviewed the software

    Interestingly, the programmer is from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Out of the RIAA's jurisdiction.

  17. Get your stories straight, lads. on Blade Runner Is The Best Sci-Fi Film · · Score: 5, Insightful


    The article says "Blade Runner was the runaway favourite in our poll." followed by 2001 which was "A very close second". Which is it?

  18. Re:I'd have to agree. on Blade Runner Is The Best Sci-Fi Film · · Score: 5, Funny


    I'd love to live in a dark, gritty Blade Runner style world.

    Yeah! A world where you leave your shitty jobs to travel home through the throngs of other civilians in the endless rain just to find a renegade replicant in the kitchen that kills you.

  19. Re:SUVs on A Flying Leap for Cars? · · Score: 5, Insightful


    The US Department of Homeland Security will never allow flying cars. Imagine trying to stop terrorists with cars full of diesel/fertilizer mix able to attack from all angles. Tinfoil hattish, sure, but that's how those brownshirts think.

  20. Player? No. on Nintendo Patents Online Console Gaming · · Score: 4, Insightful


    it makes you wonder if this is the first step for Nintendo to become a major player in the online gaming market

  21. No point? on Google Releases Gmail Notifier · · Score: 3, Insightful


    I keep my browser open all the time (including a tab to gmail) and it refreshes automatically. I don't see the benefit, unless having Yet More processes running is a good thing.

  22. More proof! on Grokster Wins Big in Ninth Circuit · · Score: 5, Funny


    Netcraft confirms it: the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is not dying.

  23. Re:Specific Ocean? on Writing Software for Worldwide Distribution Proves Difficult · · Score: 1


    Near Winnipeg? You never came out for "/. Beer Saturday" a few months back!

  24. Re:Thanks, Taco on Epson's 12 Gram Flying Robot · · Score: 5, Funny


    They could use it to deliver grams of weed in Amsterdamn's cafes. That's a gimmick!

  25. Re:Besides... on Sampling Short Sequences From Long MP3 Recordings? · · Score: 1

    Funniest comment I've read all day! :)
