  1. Re:2 simple and one complex solutions on DIY Dropbox Alternatives · · Score: 1

    Or even better: SFTP.

    I use sshfs myserver:remotedir localdir

    It requires the network connection to remain up. One could probably use rsync instead if they know the connection will go down.
    It also only works under Linux (and maybe other places where FUSE has been ported like FreeBSD), but I'm okay with that.

  2. Re:My greatest accomplishment on First NetHack Cross-Variant Summer Tournament · · Score: 3, Funny

    I would have had my degree a year sooner if I hadn't wasted all that time playing Nethack.

    I would have ascended in Nethack if I hadn't wasted all that time getting my degree.

  3. Re:Google+ on Google Deleting Private Profiles · · Score: 2

    Saying "I don't use Facebook" is becoming the new "I don't own a TV".

  4. Re:Derivative work... on Scientists Play World's Oldest Commercial Recording · · Score: 2

    And the alphabet song. Now it's copyright infringement to use any letters between A and Z (inclusive).

  5. Re:Eric Idle on Monty Python Members Reunite For Chapman Film · · Score: 2

    Yes, this story should be tagged "!idle" despite being in the idle section.

  6. Re:I am safe. on Mac Malware Evolves - No Install Password Required · · Score: 4, Funny

    You laugh now, but it's only a matter of time before PCs become popular enough that malware writers start targeting them instead.

  7. Re:Hm, could it be nobody likes IPv6? on IPv6 Traffic Remains Minuscule · · Score: 1

    To paraphrase Dr. Henry Jones, Sr:

    I put them in my DNS server so that I wouldn't have to remember.

  8. Re:Carl Sagan on Case Closed On Jerusalem UFO Video · · Score: 0

    Carl Sagan was my imaginary childhood friend. If anybody said, who knocked over the garbage? I'd say Carl Sagan. Who broke the window? Carl Sagan. Who wet the bed? Carl Sagan. (He had no control.)

  9. Re:They tried this before ... on Arkansas Earthquakes Could Be Man-Made · · Score: 2

    Zorin Farms genetically engineered chicken?

  10. Re:Couldn't agree more on Braid Creator on 'Evil' Social Games · · Score: 1

    A: They'll tell you.

  11. Re:But but but on FBI Alleged To Have Backdoored OpenBSD's IPSEC Stack · · Score: 2

    OpenBSD: the operating system so secure that the FBI is scared of it.

  12. Re:Reagan on Dolly the Sheep Alive Again · · Score: 1

    No need to worry about term limits, this Reagan was never President :-)

    Although you'd just be cloning his body -- what happens if he decides to become a Democrat?
    Oh, wait...

  13. Re:Yay! on Looks Like the End of the Line For LimeWire · · Score: 1

    This will be a day long remembered. It has seen the end of Limewire and it will soon see the end of piracy.

  14. Re:ed is too fancy on Word Processors — One Writer's Further Retreat · · Score: 1

    Don't use this. It might lead to plagiarizing Shakespeare.

    No, do it! We might be able to reconstruct the text of Love's Labour's Won!

  15. Re:But... the playlists! on BlackBerry's Encryption Hacked; Backups Now a Risk · · Score: 4, Funny

    I cannot believe I said "factoring primes".

    Hi, Bill!

    "The obvious mathematical breakthrough would be development of an easy way to factor large prime numbers."

    While you're at it, any chance of releasing the source for your video decoders?

    You mean like this, or something else?

  18. Re:Replacement to DOSBox? on Wine 1.2 Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Anyone expecting their 20-year-old legacy system to run on a modern OS is insane.

    ...or a Linux user. DOSEMU+FreeDOS is awesome for old apps (games still run better in DOSBox, though).

  19. Re:Not news. on Recent Sales Hint That Tape For Storage Is Far From Dead · · Score: 0

    I'll wait for Apple to come up with iSATA. Then everyone will have it!

    What in the hell were they thinking? EMAIL IS NOT A FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL, DAMMIT.

    This guy disagrees.

  21. Re:lame on Mobile Phones vs. Supercomputers of the Past · · Score: 1

    Less storage than an iPad, no wireless. Lame.

    Despite those issues, I'd still have to say that a Cray-1 literally crushes an iPad.

  22. Re:Clearly, they would be much more impressed... on Mobile Phones vs. Supercomputers of the Past · · Score: 2, Funny

    Except some jerk from the past will someday show up and steal one of your time machines!
