  2. GE anyone? on Fluorescent Monkeys Cast Light On Human Disease · · Score: 0

    I read most of the comments so if one of you did mention this .. redundancy eat my karma.

    How many generations would it take before evolution kicks in and discards the gene because glowing in the dark does no good when hiding from natural predators?

    Just a thought ...

    and then the "blacklist" format would change so that only the code with the undesired/unasked for so called "feature" would work correctly. Ain't [insert stuff here] great?

    Unfortunately those kind of people are not here to read your post or any other that might, just might, unveil the lack of privacy they're actually swimming into. I've helped friends in the past recover from serious issues (instant restart as soon as the mouse cursor appears onscreen, right after the boot logo disappears) and sometimes more than once, so I'm afraid that even if they did read about other people's PCs being "shattered" some, in their arrogance (or ignorance, pick one) wouldn't take any extra measures to protect their privacy.

    (but I do like it when they call the bank, from some fancy restaurant, asking what happened to their credit. "Well sir, remember that Solstice you bought last week?", "Sols'what?")

    Actually it's like this (i use the headset because of this feature only):
    single click - play/pause
    double click - next song
    triple click - repeat (and if at beginning of song [~5 sec] then it's previous song)

  10. Re:That many Windows Servers unprotected and onlin on Romanians Find Cure For Conficker · · Score: 0

    well .. it's linux you're talking about. Linux and server are often met in the same sentece so people have no problem when hearing: "Your Linux has X server problems and needs reconfiguration." But the second they hear "Your File sharing Server service is disabled and you need to enable it" for windows they go like "wait; what? server?!? on my win-machine??"

    see? it's just a matter of perception.

  11. Re:Butterfly effect? on New Ice Structure Could Help Seed Clouds, Cause Rain · · Score: 0

    you got it wrong.
    It's all about the butterfly.
    In your case that would be:
    If a butterfly flaps its wings in Mozambique and a tornado starts in Canada and causes so much damage that the Prime Minister of Canada has a "heartburn" ... you get the general idea.
    see? butterfly, wingflap, tornado. essential stuff

  12. well on Packing Algorithms May Save the Planet · · Score: 0

    If this is a dupe then burn me.

    Why don't we just throw all our crap in the outer space? We are already testing shuttles that go out and come back. Why not just put the "garbage bag" on it and tell it to throw the bag out in the space then come back for more? It will most certainly end on some planet in our system. Who knows .. Maybe some bacteria will survive and life may evolve where we wouldn't even think possible.

    just a thought ...

    Well, I'll tell you what's wrong.

    Just like now Opera is trying to get IE out of Windows hoping users will choose Opera when they realize that they want to browse the Internet, as soon as MS puts AV solution in Windows, other AV co's will flip their ass around the Earth and sue MS for antitrust tactics.

    flamebait or not but that's what causes the "problems" in the first place: numbers!

    Back in the XP days (please don't): you take a look in the task manager and you see 200-300MB out of 512 or 1024 and you say it sound ok.
    Vista days: same custom software installed and you see 500 out of 512 or 900 out of 1024 and you say oh boy vista is soooo hungry. There's no way that all that ram is filled with cache so when you click firefox it loads in under a second (it does for me).

    Same with ubuntu: i have (in the first 2 minutes since boot) ~1G out of 2G ram occupied. But i know it's preload and readahead trying to keep things smooth for me.

    So those 100 megs are there to keep you from getting old while firefox loads from your 5400rpm slow-as-a-turtle laptop hdd
