  1. Re:Actual Uses on Beer In Space · · Score: 1

    Good luck. Do you really think you'll be able to get a straight answer out of anyone that's a brewing expert?

  2. How about a... mascot? on Beer In Space · · Score: 1

    Duffman thinks the ISS needs a mascot! Hoh yeah! *thrust*

  3. Re:Not just beer on A Stateless IP Phone In The Works From AT&T · · Score: 1

    Let's please keep the posts on topic. I fail to see what the Berkeley Fire Department has to do with-- oh...

  4. Re:Just Quake? on 2.2 GHz Xeon · · Score: 1

    Screw that, how about the obligatory Quake on a Beowulf cluster of these suckers?

    It had to be said eventually...

  5. count script, i guess... on New (More) Annoying Microsoft Worm Hits Net · · Score: 1

    grep "24." /var/log/apache/error_log | grep -v default.ida | grep -v XXXXXXX | cut -d [ -f 3- | sort | uniq | wc -l

    Number of unique attempts (1 of each type of attempt from each IP). Just replace "24." with the first part of your IP address.

    357 uniques here, plus or minus a few oldies relating to my page. Around 900 or so total.

  6. Re: Emergency Autoland on More Links And Updates On Terrorist Attacks · · Score: 1

    Nothing else either...

  7. Re:Themes.org on New Themes.org Almost Ready; Needs A Little Help · · Score: 1

    I can't wait to see if there will be many KDE2 themes around. The lack of them really sucks. If it weren't for the mosfet liquid rendering thing, I wouldn't be so pleased with KDE2's look.

  8. Re:skin tight suits on The Astronaut's New Clothes · · Score: 5, Funny

    The best way for NASA to get more funding! Skin tight suits, hot female astronauts, and TV broadcasts... oh yeah...

  9. Re:As a quick response on MenuetOS Debuts · · Score: 1

    Close, but no banana... Gas is gas, but it is not gas. Try running 92-octane gas from your local bargain gas station in a big horse engine where the fuel line is routed very closely to the block, head, and even the intake manifold. Watch as the engine heat makes the fuel start to go bad before it reaches the carb, nearly stalling the car.

    Then put in some 92-octane from Unocal 76. And you'll see that gas is gas, but unfortunately it's not always gas.

    10) Remote assistance lets support people connect to people's machines and fix problems over the internet.

    You mean we don't have to even try to get BO onto Windows boxes anymore? MS is going to integrate it into XP for us? Sweet!

  11. Re:Sigh... on $1200 Cheap! · · Score: 1

    Don't forget to add $500 for the upgrade to Pneumatic High Traction Devices.

  12. People will never learn on Intrinsity Claims 2.2 Ghz Chip · · Score: 1

    The same statement above applies to cars, but most people haven't learned yet.

    Just like poor little rice rockets (P4) running, say, 20+ lbs of boost to get a high horsepower rating near the redline. The power/torque just isn't there in enough of each gear to run the cars fast enough. A domestic (AMD), with power distributed through more of each gear, will surely propel itself to victory.

    This easily applies to processors; the numbers are slowly becoming useless.

    Now I'm wondering how long before our buddy BigBlockMopar posts something like this...

  13. Re:obvious on SGI Installs First Itanium Cluster At OSC · · Score: 2, Funny

    he said no imagining... from now on, all beowulf clusters must be fathomed.

  14. This kind of malicious code! on Security Hole Lets Lycos Run Arbitrary JavaScript · · Score: 1

    I sent my friend to Yaromat's "Wanna be an apple?" when he was stoned and he damn near had a heart attack.

  15. Use kerosene? on Water Guns · · Score: 1

    One of my coworkers told us of a friend of hers that filled a SuperSoaker 3000 (from years ago, with the 2 gal backpack) with kerosene and basically used it as a flamethrower. I don't know about the destructive properties of kerosene compared to gasoline, but this is the same guy that cooked steaks with a real flamethrower at her "Extreme Cooking" party, so he must have experience with this stuff.
