  1. Re:No more registry? on Hands-On With Windows 7's New Features · · Score: 1

    So, M$ is reimplementing Plan 9 instead of UNIX these days, huh? Big improvement, maybe Windows will finally be ready for the Desktop. *ducks*

  2. Re:What's a gamer to do? on Hands-On With Windows 7's New Features · · Score: 1

    Linux, when its hosted by itself, AKA UML, hardware access through KVM. Crappy vendor driver takes down user mode kernel, but not the real mode one. Talk about crappy reimplementation of UNIX, but what the hey.

    Dude, an xterm is required for twm, I'll give you that. But for the *box family of wms, right click suffices.

  4. Re:Hard to believe on London Is Still World's Wi-Fi Access Point Capital · · Score: 1

    Considering the audience here, may I ask - WATERLOO TANGO FOXTROT?

  5. Re:It's good to see. on US District Court Says Calculating a Hash Value = Search · · Score: 1

    ...so desperate were they to stop the damage drugs were doing to their society...

    Considering your sig, thats the pinnacle of irony. How is saying what does and what does not go into one's body, not tyranny over it, and, considering the context (psychoactive substances), over the mind of the said one? And may I ask, what damage, beyond that inflicted by the law itself?

  7. Re:Not interested on Kazaa Founder Wants Us To Find "Legitimate" Files · · Score: 1
    Man, that sounds like me when I was 8. Seriously, boy was I dumb. Ah, now I remeber all those nights with a HOWTO page in IE, and the registry editor fired up (well, I wasn't that dumb).

    Good times. ~

  8. Re:And the web site was already slow this morning. on Lame Duck Challenge Ends With Free Codeweavers Software For All · · Score: 1

    Yes, and SPARC is a technically superior architecture to x86, FreeBSD and Solaris have superior SMP than NT and Linux, OS/2 is better than NT, NetBSD is more coherent and portable as a whole system tha anything, FireWire is better than USB for everything above cheapo flashstics and HIDs, near same for SCSI vs. SATA. Whats your point?

  9. Names on Microsoft Announces Windows Azure, Cloud-Based OS · · Score: 1

    WTF is up with the names? First minory (green), now azure (blue). Is this some sort of final salute to the dead XP (Netcraft confirms it), or what? Personaly, I find these minty colurs refreshing, but something in red, black matalic and chrome would really hit the spot after all these (what, 7?) years. Just my $0.03.

  10. Re:Another maskless scanning lithography system on 100x Denser Chips Possible With Plasmonic Nanolithography · · Score: 1
    Here's an idea - fuck quality control of chips, just make them able to work around faults in hardware/firmware/software (hello solaris), that way there will never ever be any duds, just slightly slower CPUs, and slightly faster ones. Production costs ought to rocket down. Heck, if not self repairing, we can make them adaptable.

    Its not that the interconnect isn't there, its just higher resistance. (for instance)

  11. Re:Almost identical? Not quite. on OpenOffice.org V3.0 Sets Download Record, 80% Windows · · Score: 1

    If they are gonna fuck with me on file formats, they don't deserve my floor-mopping skills, let alone anything else.

  12. Heh... on US Army Sees Twitter As Possible Terrorist "Operation Tool" · · Score: 1

    I always knew twitter himself was a sock puppet. Ditto for tool.

    What I'd like to know is how to change the keyboard on a laptop without shelling out a ton o' $$$ and/or voiding your warranty. Any takers?

  15. Re:It's all a joke on PHP Gets Namespace Separators, With a Twist · · Score: 1

    Funny thing is, mine's got two, one next to the spacebar, one next to enter. This is on an old FSC AMILO L1300, and its the same on my new Pi 2530. I think one of those is a legacy key that got reused, and they think they can out it wherever they want.

  19. Re:Database/metadata filesystem on Shuttleworth On Redefining File Systems · · Score: 1

    Fine, just use ONE tag, and you're back to square one. It'll still be easier on app devs. (check /bin on Plan 9)

  20. Re:Semantic desktop on Shuttleworth On Redefining File Systems · · Score: 1

    s/namespace/hierarchical/g; Once in buisness mode, the computer sees only files made in buisness mode (except when explictly ordered to access something from another namespace, steganographycal fs-es have this figured out), etc.

  21. Re:This would be easy on Shuttleworth On Redefining File Systems · · Score: 1

    Note: that is not the filesystem's job, its the desktop env. that matters. I don't know if Shuttleworth or the /. editors messed up, probably both, but this is just a blatan mistake.

    Actually the 'positron-antipositron' bit makes more sense from my POV. If anti- means antimatter, why not make it consistent?
