  1. Oblig on River Trail — Intel's Parallel JavaScript · · Score: 1, Funny


    What about a beowulf.js cluster of these?

  2. Re:and it's thwarted with...... on Ask Slashdot: Low-Cost Tools To Track Employees' Web Use? · · Score: 1

    It's easy to limit HTTP request lengths.

    Sure, there's usually a way around it for a dedicated and knowledgeable person. That would demonstrate premeditated circumvention of company policy. An easy excuse to fire the person.

  3. Re:and it's thwarted with...... on Ask Slashdot: Low-Cost Tools To Track Employees' Web Use? · · Score: 1

    A proxy can be configured to block everything but legitimate HTTP requests. It's not just "port 80 == allow out"

  4. squid on Ask Slashdot: Low-Cost Tools To Track Employees' Web Use? · · Score: 1


    Use squid and a squid log analyzer.

    Since when did Ask Slashdot become a Google proxy? Sheesh.

    lulz, there's a Director's Cut of SBSP

    heheh, Guy Maddin is a crazy director. He's from my hometown. If you ever see My Winnipeg playing on TV or wherever you should check it out.

    Completely messed up.

    The San Francisco police and Apple lads at odds? I foresee a Sissy Boy Slap Party!

  8. Re:What world record? on Chinese Submersible Planning For Record Dive · · Score: 5, Funny


    To be fair, it's a personal depth record of that particular submersible.

    The Titanic set a depth record for that particular ship as well.

  9. No name yet? on "Apache Killer" Web Server Hole Plugged · · Score: 0


    "Apache Killer"

    They should call the exploit "Smallpox".
    Thank you, I'll be here all week! Try the veal!

  10. Re:Solar dies, RADIATION LIVES. on Solar Company Folds After $0.5B In Subsidies · · Score: 2


    Well... DocBob said to ask any "reputable Chiropractor". I imagine the people on Quackwatch are not. :)

  12. Re:How the hell could that work? on Xbox 360 Reset Hack Yields Unsigned Code Execution · · Score: 1

    The Atari 2600 used a 6507 CPU. Similar but with less memory lines and (mumble mumble I forget what else mumble mumble)

    Yeah, I didn't catch that but parsed it ;)

  14. Re:And what? on Wikileaks Reveals BitTorrent Lawsuit Background · · Score: 2


    Each time people see something like this they feel ever less guilty about, and ever less desensitized to piracy.

    I think you nailed it.

    No, she was thinking of potential offspring.

    I'm sure this knowledge was a big influence on who Mrs. Ballmer chose as a mate.

  17. Re:Jobs death picture on Apple Puts $383 Million Handcuffs On CEO Tim Cook · · Score: 1

    Maybe he has a colostomy bag, catheter or something else under the "skirt", who knows? I don't think it is intended as a fashion statement.

  18. Re:Classless. on Apple Puts $383 Million Handcuffs On CEO Tim Cook · · Score: 2

    Yep.

    TMZ can show all the drunken celebs-vomiting-on-their-feet pictures they want. It's self-induced stupidity. Showing an obviously frail, very private man demonstrates a complete lack of basic human decency and compassion.

    If Jobs wanted to be seen like that, he'd go on The View or whatever. TMZ has shown themselves to be nothing but parasitical shitbags.

  19. Re:Given that... on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1


    Slashdot has always been in a state of flux. Perpetual beta, though it's not labelled as such.

    Seeing goofy bugs raise their head as they hack up code is oddly comforting. Like a smallpox infected blanket on a wintery day.

    sigh... "erros"... can I put my name in the hat?

  21. Succession plan? on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 5, Funny


    Well Taco, I hope that you have a good succession plan in place as Steve Jobs does at Apple.

    Presumably you've trained all your editors in the fine art of spelling mistakes, grammatical erros and story duplication. If so, the transition should be seamless.

    Jokes aside, best of luck and thanks for /. ! :)

  22. Re:Microsoft on Steve Jobs Resigns As Apple CEO · · Score: 1

    Cook has previously run the show while Jobs was off for illness. I don't think Jobs would hand over the reigns of his baby to someone he didn't have complete confidence in.

    I was thinking the exact thing re: Layton.

    Thanks!

    I've bookmarked your /. comment so I will able to access it immediately if an earthquake ever hits around here.
