    Well said. Hopefully the next story will be queued up and online soon. (are you reading this, Timothy?)

    "High Integrity Software"

    SCO should adopt that as their motto. :)

    but I'm a master debater.

    This is slashdot, you're preaching to the choir.

  5. Serious thinking to do now... on Tongue-Controlled Gameboy Advance SP Launched · · Score: 5, Funny


    A tongue controller. Hmm... does anyone know if Virtual Valerie 2 has been ported to the Gameboy Advance SP? I may yet buy one of these, assuming my medical plan covers lockjaw.

  6. Lame pics. on Chandra Provides Support For Dark Energy · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    Chandra's site has some good images

    Bah, those just look like the goatse guy in a dark room, not quite wallpaper quality for my desktop.

  9. Re:What do you think? on European Council Approves Software Patents · · Score: 1


    But with all the thievery of intellectual property, and all the monopolizing tactics of the biggest corporations, maybe this is the protection that the individual/small corporate developers need?

    What "thievery of intellectual property" and monopoly tactics would patents have quashed? I'm not arguing, I just can't come up with any esxamples.

    I wonder how they got in if it's invitation only.

    Dress in dark camoflage.

    Shoot grappling hook to rail around roof.

    Get to rooftop, shoot guard on balcony with silenced .22

    Remove camoflage.

    Use suction cup on skylight, cut out pane of glass and discard.

    Secure rope and drop into upper floor office.

    Climb down rope.

    Use chloroform-soaked rag on guard outside office door.'

    Pull out CDR with "email addresses" written in Sharpie Marker on it.

    Walk down to party, take glass of champagne from waiter.

    Send signal to antispammers telling them you're in.

    Duh, how else do you think they did it?

  14. Heh not me. on The Windows Security Nightmare · · Score: 3, Interesting


    This article describes the custom made CD he sent to his family member with patches, tools, and instructions to make a fresh install of Windows XP

    I took the extreme opposite approach: I don't help family or friends with their Windows problems if they've asked me for advice and gone against it. (as written about in my journal last March.)

  15. What a farce. on Linus Not The Father Of Linux, According to Report · · Score: 5, Interesting


    Read to the bottom of the article:
    Brown's study is part a book he is writing on open source software and operating systems. Excerpts from the book will be published at www.adti.net on May 20, 2004.
    That says it all. Inflammatory statements preceding the release of a new book. This latest FUD is nothing more than a book promotion in the guise of a press release.

    Woo, that's a cool idea... (although calling a vdg generator "low-tech" is kinda funny ;))

  17. Way back... on Build Your Own Stun Gun · · Score: 5, Funny


    In junior high electronic shop class (~1978-79) we'd charge a capacitor up, say "Hey $NAME.." and toss it to the person. Force of habit dictated the person would usually catch it and get a nice suprise.

  25. Great interview! on Egyptian Linux Advocates' Replies · · Score: 5, Insightful


    Now that is the kind of interview I really enjoy reading!
    It's not technical but tell us about the use of the tech from the view of a 'local' with some insight into the culture. Makes the world seem a bit smaller.
