  1. Re:Free Speech on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1

    > You have the right to say whatever you want about your product So long as it doesn't break any FDA or FTC rules. YMMV.

  2. Re:Remember what we were taught? on LHC Flips On Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    No, they're made of a material that can stop flying glass and shrapnel. The aim was to minimise secondary casualties, not remove primary ones.

  3. Re:But you will have to speak Russian on Wi-Fi, Now Available On the ISS · · Score: 1

    Interestingly, what's considered "blue" in the West is seen as 2 distinct colours in Russia. I guess that means it takes twice as long for Russian's to get bored?

  4. ~1TB on Typical Home Bandwidth Usage? · · Score: 1

    Something similar here. Static IPs (10), no cap, no contention, ADSL2+. Moved about 960GB last month, little more the month before. When you don't think about the bandwidth, people get into the habit of downloading huge things, then throwing them away - it's easier to re-download than store them.

  5. Re:An intelligent game is you! on Gameplay Videos Released For Fallout 3 · · Score: 1

    I had a 30 minute walkthrough with Bethesda in Leipzig last week. The first thing I noticed was how polished the game was. Bethesda have left the game very open, you certainly don't have to shoot your way through everything. I got the feeling that most of the combat will/has to be done through the bullet time system though.

  6. Re:a survey on 88% of IT Admins Would Steal Passwords If Laid Off · · Score: 1

    Cut just one wire in a scsi cable. Hours of entertainment.

  7. Re:SATA, not IDE on Digital Storage To Survive a 25-Year Dirt Nap? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Punched cards. Been around forever, will be around forever.

  8. Re:Silver Lining on Doubts On Yahoo's Human Rights Code of Conduct · · Score: 0

    It is this reality that leads many to conclude there are no limits, no ethics, no principles in business.

    In business, there is a single priciple: make money for the shareholders. Here, at least, companies are legally required to make as much as they can.

  9. Re:More information on IT Repair Installs Webcam Spying Software · · Score: 0

    Yeah. A picture of HIM. Not really what everyone was looking for.

  10. Re:Insultolympics on Get Ready For the Nerdlympics · · Score: 0

    Stupid AVG plugin.

  11. Re:Thats why on New Results Contradict Long-Held Chemistry Dogma · · Score: 0

    *nods* That's why they filmed the moon landings there. In the directors cut, Buzz Aldrin gets chased by a T-Rex.

  12. Re:Complaining works (a bit ot) on Foxconn Releases Test BIOS Fixing Linux Crashes · · Score: 0

    Complaining works? Then I'd like to complain about the phrase "going forward". There's enough buzzword bingo in work - I shouldn't have to deal with it here too. Perhaps if we got a bunch of angry people together to complain about marketingspeak, we could end up afflicting positive change in the long run?

  13. For those that can't understand the summary... on iPhone Tethering App Released, Killed In 2 Hours · · Score: 0

    You say that like a post can only be moderated one thing...

  16. Re:ah, for a moon landing flame war... on NASA Turns 50 · · Score: 1, Funny

    Nope, they filmed it on Mars, using the lower gravity to save money.

  17. Re:"Modern gamers"... on Have Modern Gamers Lost the Patience For Puzzles? · · Score: 0

    Actually, they're talking about core gamers, as opposed to, for example, casual gamers. The casual segment is currently worth more than the core, and puzzle games are very popular there.

  18. Re:machine or machines? on MIT Artificial Vision Researchers Assemble 16-GPU Machine · · Score: 0

    Yip, it's 2 machines in 1 case. The ethernet isn't crossed patched, and I don't see anywhere the motherboards are connected, so really they just have a really small cluster.

  19. Re:Hardware on Microsoft's "Mojave Experiment" Teaser Site Goes Live · · Score: 0

    It was a HP Pavillion DV2000 w/2GB RAM. Yeah, a laptop.
    More likely a Core Duo model than a Turion.
    The video would be either a GeForce Go 7200, Go 6150 or a Go 430.

  20. Re:Actually read the text of the email... on FSF's "Defective By Design" Targets Apple Genius Bars · · Score: 0

    > Anyone who believes this, where are you right now? Boxers or briefs? How long is your penis / how big are your tits? At home. 8" / 34C. Damn red wine.

    I used to have a similar attitude, until it occured to me that if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted. Or go on holiday...

  23. JSF Standards on Best and Worst Coding Standards? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Take a look at the JSF C++ coding standards - www.research.att.com/~bs/JSF-AV-rules.pdf - Stroustrup had a hand in them and our internal standards use them as a base.
