  1. Who cares on Is Linus Torvalds Speaking for Linux Anymore? · · Score: 0

    Who the hell cares what some tool from CNET thinks? He mouths off to get pageviews, just like every other so-called "technology columnist" out there.

  2. Re:This is HORRIBLE!! on Pentagon Reveals News Correction Unit · · Score: 0

    Because the challenge is coming from the people with the guns?

  3. Re:Location on Hiring (Superstar) Programmers · · Score: 0

    Excellent point. I formally withdraw my objection to your comment. It may take some time, as the comment must flow through "tubes"...

  4. Re:Location on Hiring (Superstar) Programmers · · Score: 0

    Come, now, Grishnakh, surely you realize that elected representatives answer to many masters, but voters are not one of them. I, for example, am living in (ugh) Texas, and I damn sure don't have anything to do with anything done by our fine legislators.

  5. Me, too, and SI/PE don't help on Finding a Disappearing Application in Windows? · · Score: 0

    This just started happening on my work laptop about a month ago. I got Sysinternals and Process Explorer, opened it up, and waited for the window to appear/disappear. It did not spawn a new process, as far as I could tell (there was no red 'recently deceased' line, etc). I am guessing at this point that it's being produced by an already running process, and so doesn't have to start up something new. No spyware/virus/rootkit checker reports anything at all.

  6. Don't you mean 62 miles? on Continued Success for Space Elevator Tests · · Score: -1, Redundant

    62000 miles is 1/4 of the way to the moon!

  7. Re:GOD DAMN SHE'S UGLY on The Economist on Mitchell Baker · · Score: -1, Troll

    No shit! Looks like her face caught on fire, and somebody put it out with a rake.

  8. Paul Tworney? It's TWOMEY on .xxx Domain Remains in Limbo · · Score: 1

    you illiturit bastage.

  9. Re:Noisy PC on Completely Silent Media PC · · Score: 1

    I had the same experience with my wife. My ears are still ringing...

  10. Re:How about parts? on Possession of Cantenna Now Illegal? · · Score: 1

    In most municipalities, you can be arrested for 'possession of burglary tools' for having a screwdriver. (It's happened to someone I know). They may not prosecute unless you were in someone's backyard at night, but it's still, technically, a crime.

  11. Re:Down with SCO on SCO Announces Q2 2005 Results · · Score: 1

    More blood!

  12. Could be... on Zalman Showcase Massive P4 Heatsink · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Bet it's a Zalman. At two pounds, it's pretty hefty...

  13. That's because... on The Continuing Hunt for PATRIOT Act Abuses · · Score: 2, Interesting

    anything that might be considered 'abuse' under other circumstances is prefectly legal under the PATRIOT act. Kinda like the military using amphetamines on active duty - it's a perfectly legal 'use', not an illegal 'abuse'.

  14. Re:Don't know about that on Superman Set To Fly · · Score: 1

    You obviously haven't seen the girl playing Lois on "Smallville"

  15. Re:Yesterday's news does not work here.... on System Downtime, Maintenance · · Score: 1

    Doesn't work for me, either. Oh well...

  16. Re:It's a life size Stretch Armstrong suit on Military Develops Liquid Body Armor · · Score: 1

    My first thought exactly - Stretch Armstrong. They also made little 'stress reliever' squeeze dolls from the same stuff. I seem to recall it being fairly heavy, for it's size, though. Guess I should RTFA, see if they fixed that...

  17. Pavlov solved this one on Protecting Your Gear from Pets? · · Score: 1

    a long time ago. Just take the chewed cable, hold it in a U so that the chewed portion is at the bend, grab the chewer by the scruff of the neck, show him/her the chewed portion, then lay a couple of "thank you sir, may I have another"s on their ass, and let Pavlov do the rest. Cats have nine lives for a reason; use a couple.

    P.S. Both a companion cat and plenty of other chewy things will help greatly, but they are "secondary" solutions.

  18. Re:volunteer... if you dare. on Getting Law Enforcement Action for a Large-Scale Hack? · · Score: 1

    not at the individual cop who's just trying to do his job.

    Wasn't that the same excuse used by Nazi SS Death Camp guards? Just following orders, or some such Republican BS?

  19. Puffy the Vampire Slayer on Slashback: GSM, Buffy, Wobble · · Score: 2, Funny

    That girl can stretch a t-shirt like nobody's bidness...

  20. Re:old fart could give a fuck about programming on Job Chances for Older Coders? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    when does your penis start to shrivel though?

    Soon as I bust my load up in yo momma's ass, biatch!

  21. Re:This guy is a bit stupid, right? on Meet Cyveillancebot · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough, I don't think the police would have much sympathy for anyone who's house got burgled like this...

    Just because the Donut Brigade won't move enough to make the powdered sugar fall from their rotund bellies doesn't make breaking and entering any more legal, regardless of how little effort *you* think 'breaking' requires...

  22. who knows where your webring link on When N2H2 Mistakenly Calls Your Website 'Porn'? · · Score: 1

    might have gone they day they scanned your page. I quit using webrings completely, because people complained about the places they might be directed to (from my page).

  23. Re:ho hum on SMTP AUTH and ODMR Providers for Personal SMTP Service? · · Score: 1

    No, dickhole, he does not want run his own mail server "unchecked":

    I don't mind being subject to reasonable daily transfer limits or speed limits to prove I'm not out to spam anyone.

  24. Re:Which is better? on The Riddle of Baghdad's Battery · · Score: 1

    I remember where the last terrorist strike came from, do you? (Hint: Not Iraq)

    We can nuke Iraq into a sheet of glass, and Osama will still be getting room service at the Pakistani Hilton.

  25. Religion doesn't kill Science; on The Riddle of Baghdad's Battery · · Score: 1

    People with Religion kill Science. Ask any Ph.D. who has been ousted from Bush II's science councils in favor of a wild-eyed Methodist preacher.

    Many great scientists/philosphers/astronomers have come from the Arab world; indeed, I'd have a hard time doing binary without the handy '0' they gave us (ever wonder why our numeric system is called 'Arabic', not 'Roman'?) Even the algebra (al-jabr) is a product of an enlightened Muslim civilization.

    "Praise God, and Pass the Ammo!" Idiots.
