    Virgins make everything better, it seems.

  2. Re:Mod Parent Down on Firefox Beta Scores 93 On Acid3 Test · · Score: 1

    Middle of the work day is safer, kids can't wander in unnoticed, unless you work and home school at the same time. Also this leave more free free time at night.

  3. We all take a performance hit on test 69 on Firefox Beta Scores 93 On Acid3 Test · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's harder to concentrate with that particular feed back loop.

  4. Re:On a practical level . . . on Should Network Cables Be Replaced? · · Score: 1

    It does depend on the traffic, if you need internal bandwidth, you need internal bandwidth. I believe in the if it aint broken don't fix it school of thought. We still use CAT3 for a portion of our office network with out degradation, guess short runs are able to handle more than their rating. On the other hand if you need to replace a line or two or are starting to see random errors maybe it's time to upgrade.

  5. Re:Goodbye Common Carrier Status? on BT Blocks Access To Pirate Bay · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here is one court case hinging on Common Carrier Status: http://www.osler.com/resources.aspx?id=8271 I seem to remember a few others in the Canadian court system, but one is enough to prove the courts are interested in Common Carrier Status.

  6. Ginger Snaps and S. Pellegrino on Where's Your Coding Happy Place? · · Score: 1

    Where there's Ginger Snaps and S. Pellegrino, there is good code.

    Breathing is a far cheaper source of oxygenation.

  8. Re:Not just "bacteria" on Are Human Beings Organisms Or Living Ecosystems? · · Score: 1

    I'd say Cleanliness is important for sex, or at least should be a prerequisite.

  9. Re:Hey google, want to save some money? on Google Reveals "Secret" Server Designs · · Score: 1

    Next to your trash talk I doubt anybody will look the fool. As a business Google seems to do well enough, lets assume they did the math.

  10. Re:Waste on Yeast-Powered Fuel Cell Feeds On Human Blood · · Score: 1

    Burning alcohol in your implants, Wouldn't that lead to heart burn?

  11. Re:Waste on Yeast-Powered Fuel Cell Feeds On Human Blood · · Score: 4, Funny

    Alcohol is a common yeast waste. So long as I'm not hit with a sin tax, I'm all for it.

  12. Re:Yes on Shouldn't Every Developer Understand English? · · Score: 1

    Certainly not. Syntax and reserved words are little more than symbols and tokens. Many of these tokens are derived from English and or Latin but they are not English anymore than English is German or French or Latin or Greek.

  13. Re:Selling an open-source software business? on Locating the Real MySQL · · Score: 5, Funny

    For $1B I'd say it's plenty viable to sell an open source business. Buying one on the other hand may be open to debate.

  14. Re:or other way.. on Taming Conficker, the Easy Way · · Score: 2, Funny

    So, now, either it's slashdotted or ConfickerC is probably blocking them.

  15. Re:Yes, go for it. on With a Computer Science Degree, an Old Man At 35? · · Score: 1

    It seems many IT companies have seen the advantage of younger employees as the ability to work them 80 hours a week on salary till they burn out.

  16. Re:Remember kids, its only fair if they agree with on CIA Expert Decries E-Voting Security · · Score: 1

    Agreed, I think most political ideologies, especially the Utopian ones fail in the real world, because, the average man is, well, average.

  17. Re:Remember kids, its only fair if they agree with on CIA Expert Decries E-Voting Security · · Score: 1

    That was definitely forefront in my mind.

  18. Re:Remember kids, its only fair if they agree with on CIA Expert Decries E-Voting Security · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I can think of a number of political systems that should be better in theory, but it seems democracy may be the best in practice, or more correctly, least bad.

  19. Re:Check out CNN's brilliant reporting on this eve on Did Bat Hitch a Ride To Space On Discovery? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Uhm, it's a CNN reporter, they don't actually think, never have and probably never will.

  20. Re:For my fellow USians.... on What Does a $16,000+ PC Look Like, Anyway? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I like to assume most Burmese, Liberians and Yankees can figure out the rough conversions themselves.

  21. Re:Cost? on Google Debunks Maps Atlantis Myth · · Score: 1

    If you're in international waters, the cost of a Small Tactical Nuclear Device.

  22. One false sense of security coming up on Joomla! Web Security · · Score: 1

    So now some, presumably competent, writer can paint by numbers, and have no idea when they make a fatal security mistake. Nice

  23. Re:they probably are owed it on Microsoft Asks For a Refund From Laid-Off Workers [updated] · · Score: 1

    MS has often used competing products rather than their own in mission critical systems.

  24. Re:Once again... BFD on Confusion Reigns As Analog TV Begins Shutdown · · Score: 1

    And everyone else should be able to live with out TV for at least a few days.
