  1. Am I losing my grasp of English? on Indian Moon Mission To Launch Next Month · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    "While the spacecraft itself will not land on the Moon, it will act as an orbiter and land a rover on the surface." So it's going to act as a land rover on the moon, but not land on the moon???? good luck with that.

  2. Re:No, not likely on Unsolicited Offer For My Personal Domain Name? · · Score: 4, Informative

    In all correspondence I'd use the term transfer in place of sell.

  3. Re:Finally a use for the 'itsatrap' tag on Unsolicited Offer For My Personal Domain Name? · · Score: 1

    I've always responded with a short description of how attached I am to which ever domain and the level of effort I think would be involved in transferring my site/content to a new domain name. I've never given a Dollar figure, just an idea of how much compensation I might need. No one has ever come back with an offer, leading me to believe that either they weren't that interested or they were looking to "entrap" me.

  4. Re:Updating non-expired records? on Kaminsky DNS Bug Claimed Fixed By 1-Character Patch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't think hacking every DNS server has ever been the solution of choice. Maybe updating your record and serial number, then reloading, if needed, the authoritative server. And the ones you don't control, well wait.

  5. Re:When are they going to get it? on Computer Beats Pro At US Go Congress · · Score: 1

    I'm torn, I want to leave your first sentence marked troll and mark your second Insightful, so I'll comment instead. I think in actuality, AI needs better algorithms, more tera-flops and most likely a completely different architecture, quantum computing may not be the answer but the differences between binary logic and quantum logic may show us another path to persue.

  6. Re:Software Viri too? on Viruses Infected By Viruses · · Score: 1

    Seconded

  7. Re:Does the file format support it? on Programmer's File Editor With Change Tracking? · · Score: 1

    I'd give you Plus 6 Insightful if it raised you up the page any. Personally my vote is on SVN and which ever text editor works best with the dataset in question - config file/ flat database or novel would all get a different vote from me.

  8. Re:The FBI press release on Spam King Escapes From Federal Prison · · Score: 5, Funny

    The press release was for Americans.

  9. Re:Interesting... on New Rifle Tech Offers Variable Muzzle Speed · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dick Cheney not withstanding, in most shooting sports, normally you are supposed to shoot forwards and level or higher.

  10. VMWARE on Fast-Booting OS for Usually-Off Appliance PCs? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Going with the assumption that you will have at least one of these, normally off, appliances on often enough to justify it: One fast computer with a large and fast hard-drive holding a number of these normally off images. All sorts of benefits - Images can be archived and moved to another computer if hardware starts to go. Numerous images can be maintained easily, and remotely. If one appliance becomes popular, it can be put on a dedicated machine easily. Then if thats not fast enough, any *NIX that does not load unneeded daemons, especially a GUI. Slackware tends to boot very fast for me

  11. Don't we work in Kg on Tiny Satellite Set To Hunt Asteroids · · Score: 1

    At least I think we do even for Space.

  12. Re:Surgery on my ass on Best Chair For Desktop Coding? · · Score: 1

    Uhm, lemming.

  13. Re:Surgery on my ass on Best Chair For Desktop Coding? · · Score: 1

    And I, Yours. I feel like a lemur.

  14. I see alot of gum on camera lenses coming up on Prototype EU Airplane Spy Cams Watch For Facecrime · · Score: 1

    Vandalism will put a rather swift end to the seat cameras.

  15. Re:WTF ? The Web 2.0 approach to hardware? on What Web 2.0 Means for Hardware and the Datacenter · · Score: 4, Funny

    But if you run 2.0, your hardware wants to be on it's side, to um, well run better, because it's 2.0

  16. Some people might consider connectivity important on How Aftermarket Inkjet Ink Holds Up After a Year · · Score: 1

    The prices may not be inflated if one of your goals is to read the paper after a year.

  17. C Cup on Concept Computer Based on a Tea Cup Design · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'll take C-Cups over PC Cups any day.
