  1. Re:Fragmentation on Ubuntu Tablet OS To Take On Android, iOS · · Score: 2

    This is so meta I can't take it. Is everything not-iOS defined as "fragmentation"?

  2. Re:Take that... on Kepler Confirms Exoplanet Inside Star's Habitable Zone · · Score: 5, Funny

    And wearing a goatee.

    Yes sir, there's nothin' on Earth like a bona fide, genuine, electified six-car monorail. What'd I say?

    actually the wire-suspended camera was an innovation of the now-defunct XFL. Check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skycam it's about the only thing (other than Tommy Maddox) the NFL picked up from the XFL.

    It's not just SSH, it's also a scriptable serial terminal with total control over how fast things get pasted in. You learn to appreciate it when you're deploying a building's worth of switches and you've got your character send delay timed just right.

    This and a half. I really, REALLY never noticed they had a Linux version. I suppose I had to be eviscerated by people misreading the rest of my stuff, but hey. Linux SecureCRT, will wonders never cease...

  7. Honestly? on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 0

    It might sound funny, but in my day to day work?

    SecureCRT, SecureFX, Wireshark...then there's Photoshop and all of the games that I buy from Steam and never play because I have kids...

    I'm far too set in my ways, and I've never found anything equal to SecureCRT on any other platform.

    You're all new here.

  9. Re:why do people still use google, given tracking? on Google Chairman To Testify At Antitrust Hearing · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You mean one blue bar across the top and an "install Chrome" button on the top right? That ain't spammy. The MSN homepage, now that's spammy.

  10. Re:Spirit is doing just fine! on Mars Rover Down? Spirit Stays Silent · · Score: 2

    Did you miss the title of the blog? "five years delayed." The blog posts are 2011, -5, meaning they're from 2006.

  12. Re:None so Blind as Those Who Will Not See on Music Execs Stressed Over Free Streaming · · Score: 1

    I honestly never thought I'd say something positive about Philadelphia, but since moving here I've found one thing:

    WMMR. It's online at wmmr.com and they're just awesome. They're a rock station, and recently they've started to play a few more recent bands since Clearchannel killed off the only top 40 rock station in the area a few years ago but still stick mostly to classic rock and hard rock. Their sister station WMGK has more of a classic rock program. All live DJs all the time. Love 'em.

    They also have a streaming app for Android and I believe a counterpart for the iPhone. Doesn't matter where you are, you can get WMMR.

  13. Re:The color Nook is none too speedy at all... on Nook Color Is Now a $250 Honeycomb Tablet · · Score: 1

    I own it. There isn't. It just appears. No tearing, no lag in updating, it's just there.

  14. Re:The color Nook is none too speedy at all... on Nook Color Is Now a $250 Honeycomb Tablet · · Score: 1

    There is no page turn animation on the Nook Color, and thus nothing that 'stutters' when 'crossing the page [sic].'

    I declare you full of crap.

  16. Re:Buy a Ford! on Ford To Offer Fuel-Saving 'Start-Stop' System · · Score: 1

    Sadly they only sell the bone stock Focus, which hasn't really been updated very well. They just started selling the Fiesta, which I recognized from the Top Gear episode they used it in to storm the beaches with the Royal Marines.

    That alone gets me excited :P

    Agreed. Clearly someone's not using SecureCRT.

    we're screwed.

  22. Re:N900 or Moto Droid or Nexus One on Truth Or Dare — What Is the Best US Cell Company? · · Score: 1

    In response to point 2, Cricket is not a reseller; they run their own network, as does MetroPCS. You're thinking of MVNOs like Virgin Mobile, Boost and Jitterbug.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:US_mobile_network_operators is a nice little chart.

  23. Re:Let's just be clear on what they mean here on A Requiem For Saab · · Score: 1

    pretty much. I was ready for a new car by then; I'd gotten my first post-college job. Sold the 240 to a neighborhood kid for $1000 (bought for $1500). My sister was moving to the city and sold the 740 Turbo for a shade under what it was bought for, and I forget what the deal was with my brother's 740 wagon. I think he went to California so my parents sold that too.

    also, they each went to their next owners with 175K, 265K, and 190K miles respectively.

  25. Re:Let's just be clear on what they mean here on A Requiem For Saab · · Score: 1

    How about cold-rolled steel body frames with crumple zones, heated seats, the hatchback, how about a standard-production turbo? - the list goes on and on. They may not have invented each one of those items but stuck with the good stuff throughout. I am driving a '93 9000 with >195k miles for a winter rat this year. That kind of mileage is not uncommon, in fact almost expected in a Saab. What companies can suggest that kind of longevity today?

    Not to jump all over the Saabs, but my family of mid 80's through early 90s Volvos (an '85 240DL wagon, an '88 740 wagon and a '91 740 Turbo sedan) would beg to disagree. Crumple zones, safety cages, 3-point safety belts, childproof doors...Volvo. :)
