    Why is he an idiot?

    Pointing to illegal stuff is not illegal. Would it be illegal to say "No, I don't have any pot, but that guy Bob over there can sell you some."

  2. hrn. on Exposing Children to Technology? · · Score: 5, Funny


    My parents gave me plastic bags when I was very young. I expecially liked the full-body dry cleaning ones. For my 4th birthday they game me an old refrigerator with a locking door. I loved it.

    Nova, Frontline, and BBC documentaries are on maybe once a week each!

    No surprise there; Nova and Frontline are weekly shows. In fact they're on tonight. Tonight's Nova is all about Neutrinos. It should be interesting.

  10. Re:responsible design on MySpace To Be Made Safer For Users · · Score: 1

    PHP is way more flexible for verifying the referal information (ie.: did the actual page(s) with the picture request it or is it likely a domain spoofer (like RefControl for Firefox)

    I recently changed how my site dishes out most pictures with PHP. Picture thieves (or those with broken referrers) get a nice view of goatse guy.

    Um... 1.2 PB is definitely *not* "a million times the capacity of any hard drive", unless you're still stuck with 1.2 GB hard drives.

    The author was probably using Imperial Petabytes, not Metric Petabytes.

  14. Re:QNX on Choosing an Embedded OS for Sustainability? · · Score: 1


    Yeah, it was 1998. Here's his page at qnx.com mentioning his death. I remember finding it out on IRC when I saw someone from qnx.com on one of the distributed.net channels. I asked about how H was and he said he died a few days before.

    Dang that was a sad day.

  15. Re:QNX on Choosing an Embedded OS for Sustainability? · · Score: 1


    The lead architect of QNX died about two years ago, and there's been a brainpower exodus since then.

    If you're talking about Dan Hildebrand, it was more than two years. I'm pretty sure it was 1998. He was the man that first got me onto *nixish systems when he installed a 'demo' version of QNX on my old 286 (AT) way back in the day when he still lived here (Winnipeg).

  16. Re:joke time on Danish, Western Websites Under Attack · · Score: 1


    Atheism doesn't require that people believe in it as the One True thing, ergo it's not a tenet. Many atheists, myself included, don't see a viable option.

  17. Re:joke time on Danish, Western Websites Under Attack · · Score: 2, Insightful


    A tenet of almost all religions is that Theirs' is the One True Religion. They can't all be right.

    All religions are superstitious fairy tales without a shred of proof.

    (and don't call atheism a religion; atheism is a religion like not collecting stamps is a hobby)

  21. Re:It was his choice. on Apple Sued Over Potential Hearing Loss · · Score: 2, Interesting


    It sounds all too like the person who burgled and empty house and fell though the rotten floor boards. Then he sued.

    The place I was working at 20 years ago (I know the time as I was working there when Challenger happened) had a burgler come through an air conditioning duct. He dropped in the darkness to the floor but caught one foot on a desk (ouch). He snapped his ankle. To make a long story short, he sued the company for not having decent night lighting and won a small amount of cash.

  22. No personal accountability anymore. on Apple Sued Over Potential Hearing Loss · · Score: 5, Insightful


    Good idea!

    I'll start suing the manufacturers of the various amplifiers, receivers, and speakers I've had over the past ~25 years of brutalizing my ears. And I'll name all the bands, especially Motorhead, who have given me pleasure in a separate suit!

    My hearing probably isn't what it should be but the last thing I'd consider doing is suing the product makers.

    Blacks boycott gamemakers for the stereotyping in the Grand Theft Auto games.
    Whites boycott Xatrix Entertainment for how white trash appeared in the game Redneck Rampage.
