  1. BLOCKED!!!! on Nancy Pelosi vs. the Internet · · Score: 1

    This post is too conservative, therefore, one of us mods had to block it.

    (P.S. Go Democrats!) :)

  2. How about this? on Best DNS Naming Scheme For Small/Medium Businesses? · · Score: 1

    Call the entire network TRANSLTR and name one NDAKOTA. (Read Digital Fortress by Dan Brown to get this)

  3. Re:cheaters! on Your Computer As Your Singing Coach · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Want bad vibrato and notes? Listen to any American Idol entry. Instant ear bleed. In a bad way.

  4. Re:Good on Your Computer As Your Singing Coach · · Score: 1

    Nah, you will just get their shelled, 'It's going to be OK, sir,' response. If you keep yelling, they will trace the call and get an ambulance to come and send you to a bedlam.

  5. Re:Oh God, on Stallman Attacks Gates, Microsoft, & Charity Foundation · · Score: 1

    Don't forget, he also has to fight through dozens of pirates ("ship" pirates, not data pirates), ninjas, ninjas fighting pirates, assassins from the RIAA/MPAA, and the red spiders.

    It is going to be one heck of a fight. You have to feel sorry, though. For the people against Stallman I mean.

  6. Re:You see, there's this thing called economics on Stallman Attacks Gates, Microsoft, & Charity Foundation · · Score: 1

    And, ironically, Billy went on this campaign for democracy...

    I also imagine that donating to hospitals is pretty weird, considering MS took money from them for copies of Windows. Refunds, anybody?

  7. Tech Scam: Pure Water on There's a Sucker Converted Every Minute · · Score: 2, Funny
    I see this ad in one of my mags. It says that the bottled water is even more unhealthy than smoking...

    (If so, why haven't I died yet?)

    There water is so pure that it cures diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis.

    (So, this water can reach my brain???) Their purifying machine even unclogged sewage.

    (Haven't heard about this on the news...)

    They even said the secret is that the bonding angle is at a perfect 104 degree angle compared to other water.

    (FYI, that is the normal angle...)

    Also, they say don't listen to the doctors or other people because they are JEALOUS

    (OK, so, how jealous are they over your water...?)

    I read the ad because I was just bored... :)

  8. White on a super bright screen can cause that... on Best Color Scheme For Coding, Easiest On the Eyes? · · Score: 1

    I remember seeing this Python tutorial site saying they changed it the background was to 'glaring' (assuming it was a white-ish color). They switched to a light purpleish-pink color. Try that. The site: http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/

  9. Re:I always thought... on Is Today's Web Still 'the Web'? · · Score: 1
    > head south

    Good choice. You will be far from the reaches of the series of tubes and the Linux sys admins in Antarctica. But you will grow lonely without your friends.

    Suddenly, a month later, you are not alone. A UN official and a Comcast PR who has a Linux sys admin come and put a sign near your campsite with those dreaded words...

    "Coming Soon: the Comcast Cable Network. Now with Comcast Quintuple play!

  10. Re:What kind of pirates? on G8 Summit Aims To Kill International Piracy · · Score: 1

    Sadly there are far more Data pirates than "Board ye ship" pirates.

    True, but data pirates don't kill people.

    Which is why the RIAA and the courts allow such high charges against college students/elderly/dogs for pirated music.

  11. Re:Had to be said... on Dungeons and Desktops · · Score: 5, Funny
    > head north

    The grue jumps out. He doesn't eat you, however, he gives you a book about this game and directs you to this huge freaking submission about the book.

    You stare and realize why he directed you to this computer... He wants you to become a troll...

  12. Re:Aw man... on Using AI With GCC to Speed Up Mobile Design · · Score: 1

    GCC... Now ten percent faster and ten percent less IT sword fights while Gentoo compiles :).

  13. Re:Commercial Viability on Xandros Reportedly Buys Out Linspire · · Score: 1
    Desktop Linux products earn money through businesses using it and through tech support. No, not the forums, but, phone tech support. They charge a lot of money, and for a good reason. The ITs are usually talking to the person who helped make most of the Server editions. This generates enough revenue, in theory, for both server and desktop Linux.

    Desktop support, I don't think, is one of the coders specialty on the end of the phone line. But, at least it is better than talking to other commercial tech support. (Long waits, holds, charges for waiting in line, some person in India who tried hard to learn English, waiting some more, etc...)

  14. Re:Most privacy policies are worthless anyway. on Privacy Policies Only as Good as the People Enforcing Them · · Score: 1
    Heh, good point. Think I need to check privacy policies for that when I visit a site...

    BTW, checked SourceForge's privacy policy:

    SourceForge has a user's permission or as required by law, SourceForge will only share the personally identifiable information a user provides online

    Good thing :)

  15. This is most likely a publicity stunt... on What Happens When You Reply To ALL of Your Spam · · Score: 1

    But why??? To show how much of an idiot people are to accept Viagra knock offs promising to give her 'immense pleasur[sic]' and discovering that her mailbox is full of snake oil and will need more of McAffee to protect them even when they will slow your computer down more than a virus would and your email client could do better???? ...Yep, just answered my own question.:) The shocker is that someone would be as much of a fool to give her home address away, and McAffee does not step in. I wonder if she even realizes that \/14GERAH pIll5 FR33 is a scam ;).
