  1. More talk on Pee On Your Phone STD Test · · Score: 1


    The extra bit of mood-making dirty talk is the icing on the cake.

    "Hey baby... before I bang all your holes raw, leaving you semi-conscious, covered with sweat, blood, feces, lubricant and semen... would you mind pissing on my cell phone?"

  2. Bah on Ozzy Osbourne's Genome Reveals Some Neanderthal Lineage · · Score: 5, Insightful

  3. Hm.. on Geocities To Be Made Available As a 900GB Torrent · · Score: 1


    I may store this on a ZFS volume. It will shrink to about half a GB with all those copies of animated flaming skulls de-duplicated.

  4. Re:No, thank you on The iPhone Serial Port Hack · · Score: 1


    I am guessing that's where all the good submissions end up?

    There are good submissions on /.?

  5. Re:what about on How Allies Used Math Against German Tanks · · Score: 1


    Kind of an odd thought, but did the Nazis use a fresh/sterilized tattoo needle for each prisoner?
    Not sure how concerned they were for the health of the prisoners.

  6. Re:Give VirtualBox a try! on Recommendations For Home Virtualization? · · Score: 1


    I'm wondering if the USB passthrough problems I read of are host OS-related.

    At work on a beefy Ubuntu host, the USB passthrough to WinXP has always been a bitch to use, to the point that I gave up.

    On the iMac I use at home, passthrough works quite well (slow for hard disks). In fact I've used a USB JTAG adapter and a MAXII Micro Kit from terasic.com on the home XP VM with no problems at all.

    I'll second (or third, fourth, whatever) this.

    I have VirtualBox on a new iMac with Ubuntu and WinXP VMs running just perfectly.

    It's a really nice system. Much smaller than VMWare too.

  8. "Best with IE" or not? on Microsoft Announces Web-Based Office365 · · Score: 3, Interesting


    It isn't mentioned in the article, but does anyone know if Office365 "works best" with IE or is it browser-agnostic? For example, Microsoft's Outlook Web Access is quite decent when accessed with IE but with Firefox or Safari it's not nearly as nice.

    Well, at the first date, they always ask for her source code.

    If you want her DNA that badly, you'll carry chloroform and a rag!

    Yea, people fail to recognize that they're both great systems.

    Interesting observation. Read stuff from a bunch of iPhone fans and it pretty much uniformly toots Apple's horn. Read from stuff from the Android fans and you'll see they're much more likely to be bashing Apple rather than raving about the good stuff within Android.

    I can see the source code for Android

    I'm a big FOSS fan (typing this on an Ubuntu box) but the whole "I can see the source" thing rings hollow for me.

    Every day people use things they don't have the source to. From the firmware in the alarm clock that wakes them up to the BIOS in their computers to the code running the microwave oven. The TV cable box firmware (heck, the TV itself!), alarm system firmware, automobile computer firmware, etc.

    Yeah, it's nice to have the code, but I don't base decisions solely on that. If I did, the house would be pretty empty.

    I refuse to use Android or iOS.

    I didn't think either was an option on your Bakelite rotary dial phone.

    They tried autotune with Lemmy. The autotune box exploded, killing 4 in the sound booth.

  15. Re:Not exactly a revelation on Ex-Apple CEO John Sculley Dishes On Steve Jobs · · Score: 1


    Note I said "engineers, programmers, etc." and wasn't trying to suggest that only engineers can make things. I was simply trying to illustrate the process, not pigeonhole the tasks.

  16. Re:Not exactly a revelation on Ex-Apple CEO John Sculley Dishes On Steve Jobs · · Score: 5, Insightful


    Obviously Apple isn't "all about hiring designers and marketers". All the designers in the world can't create a working product. That still takes engineers, programmers, etc.

    What Apple does is come up with a nice design and have the technical people make it real. Most other companies have the techs make a product then have designers spray perfume on it.

  17. Crazy... on Nintendo Entertainment System Turns 25 · · Score: 4, Interesting


    I remember going to parties, getting pissed and stoned out of my tree, and playing NES with my buddies.

    Now we play some of the same old games on the Big Ass Emulation Disc for XBOX with the family. Minus the booze and drugs, of course. That's pretty impressive staying power for those games.

    Really? I kept hearing "We'll run out of IPv4 addresses in five years" about four years ago, and so forth.

    I've been hearing about the end of IPv4 space since my very first ISP handed me XXIV.XII.CXXIV.VI via DHCP

    Why is science education important in public schools?

    It helps some (most?) of the general population develop critical thinking skills. Lack of science education is what helps rubbish like Creationism, anti-Vaxxers and Homeopathy gain some popularity.

    What I don't really understand is why they ever updated PDF beyond being a simple document format - it introduced all of these vulnerabilities

    There would be no money in the long run had they released "Reader v1.0" and turned off the lights.

    They don't work on the mobile app as they just hide, not block, the crap. As far as Facebook is concerned you're still a member of the group/whatever.

    That's what I do but I need to be on a computer to do it. The Facebook app doesn't seem to have that feature. It's a royal PITA.

    One thing that pisses me off are the endless "Joe Blow has scored 100283 points on Fist the Goatse Guy"-type messages. You have to block that type of shit manually. They should have a default deny for that garbage.

    End of Rant.

  25. Re:wrong OS? on Desktop Linux Is Dead · · Score: 1


    No, BSD is just the one that stinks, it's not dead yet.

    Considering Mac OSX's BSD-Mach roots, it would seem that BSD has a far greater market share on the desktop than Linux.

    Even the OSX manpages have BSD everywhere in them.
