On: Advice You Would Give to Your 12 Year-Old Self?

...read a book and join Yamanaka's Karate club.

And save yourslef some time by not falling for that Laurie chick. It'll never happen, no matter how nice a guy you think you are.

What about the homework?

On: Gates and Lasser on Palladium

A naive Palladium question for the more learned among us: If Palladium-compilant hardware will only allow signed binaries to execute, and 'normal' users can't sign binaries as Lasser suggests, how are people supposed to create and run their own software? How would a CE/CS student test his/her homework?

Won't somebody please think of the children?

How humble

On: Linus vs Mach (and OSX) Microkernel

[Linus'] new autobiography called Just for Fun: The Story of an Accidental Revolutionary [emphasis mine]

Gee; I'm glad to see that Linus hasn't let his fame go to is head. I hope he just accidentallty hit the 'R' key in front of that last word.

I don't mean to diminish what Linus has done, but RMS has done a boatload more for the "revolution" than Linus did.

Re:Valid email addresses...

On: Spambot Poisoner

From the website:

[Sugarplim includes] "...injection with the addresses of known spammers (let them all spam each other)..."

One is left to assume that addresses that look "real" are most likely the addresses of "known spammers".

Re:Hardly revolutionary

On: Gnome 1.2.0 Released

Much as I hate to admit this, Microsoft revolutionised GUI with the "Start" button and taskbar...

I believe that Macintosh's "Apple Menu" predates Windows' "Start" menu, does it not?

Just being picky.
