  1. Re:Super bad for Servers on Apple's Mac OS X Update Breaks Perl · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you don't look at every file or at least the general path of what you are installing then you deserve it. Fink, SuspiciousPackage and the like all are very good for this.
    If you need excessive amounts of PERL modules why aren't you using a generic *NIX server rather than OS X Server? The only compelling reasons I could use for using OS X Server is 1) Provide excellent AFP file services 2) You really love Mac OS X and want the whole barrage of services in the form of one mediocre server. I think Windows has an offering like that coming out soon in the form of Window Small Business Server 2008.

  2. Re:Corporate Bureaucracy on Cost-Conscious Companies Turn To Open Source · · Score: 1

    Since Adobe's purchase of Macromedia I have always been provided with both keys for Windows and Mac version. I would bet two shiny nickels that you could upgrade to CS4 with what you have and get a key for the Macintosh versions.

  3. Re:It's a (w)rap! on NASA Produces Rap Video On Astrobiology · · Score: 1

    MC Plus+, Monzy and programming nerdcore rappers precede science rappers, and do arguably better a job of being entertaining rather than educational.

  4. Re:They lied! on Apple Releases Mac OS X Leopard Security Guide · · Score: 5, Funny

    That is why on my grandmother's machine I put a hardware lock, set firmware password, enabled stealth network mode and secured virtual memory. I will be damned if those dirty hackers find out which bunt cake recipes she has been looking at.

  5. Re:Seems weird to me on Vista SP1 Release Candidate Available · · Score: 4, Funny

    What the heck happens in one hour of waiting?
    Stomach cramping.
  6. Geographics Major on UPS Using Software To Eliminate Left Turns · · Score: 1

    Some CS major probably figured this out instead of traveling salesman.
    More likely was a Geographics Major and a group of the many people who optimize routes. There is a whole industry for that sort of thing as well as software from ESRI and I am sure many others. GIS software will route things based on stop signs vs. stop lights, traffic congestion and time of day, can even account for taking the stops with the biggest load in your truck first to increase fuel efficiency. I can only imagine that UPS has a goodly number of people who do nothing but operate GIS software and this commonly known aspect of route finding is actually becoming part of their agenda.
