    As the Flash's girlfriend files her nails irritably.

  2. Don't forget... on Recourse For Draconian Encryption Requirements? · · Score: 1

    That the main reason for requiring the IT staff be the ONLY ones allowed to install is the main reason for this stupidity is the spyware that they are installing at the same time.

    #1. Buy a used windows XP laptop/netbook
    #2. install you're favorite email client (one that can auto check and forward).
    #3. take it in
    #4. set it up to get and forward email to your private email account.

    I personally welcome our robot overlords!

    At 12 noon GMT Charli became self aware and realized he was named after a perfume, was he pissed...

  6. I told you so! on Confessions of a SysAdmin · · Score: 1

    Every time I told some luser not to put too much faith in computers, the response was almost always one of dismay and the usual comeback was always the same "how can someone in your field say that?", easy, I replied, as long as people expect far too much from these things and will not learn to plan for disasters I will have a job!

  7. Re:Interesting... on After DNA Misuse, Researchers Banished From Havasupai Reservation · · Score: 1

    Yeah, if you scream loudly enough you CAN make science stop investigating your "bullshit creation myths" you know like federal law saying that any remains older than XXXX number of years have to be turned over to the "native American" community before any tests are run so that they can be "properly" re-interred. This is so we won't find out that the first wave of Homo sapiens made their way across the frozen north Atlantic from Europe ten thousand years before the second wave arrived from Asia (don't take my word for it, look it up).

  8. Re:Diff story? on Web Coupons Tell Stores More Than You Realize · · Score: 3, Informative

    In Firefox, goto tools, options, privacy and select "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session", this way your online coupon will not contain any extraneous information. Also remember that the coupon provider will only know what information you provide (you don't have to tell the truth).

    Use-to piss me off, especially when I was trained to swivel around when a user was entering their password!
    I remember asking people who should have known better to please stop leaning over me and watching my hands.
    The young ones were the worst, I reported each incident (in writing) every time.

  13. Re:Revisionist history on The Apple Two · · Score: 1

    Good god man, how can you possibly remember all that, did you keep a journal? I had a friend, Homer, who did, your writing style is reminiscent of his.

    I also bought an Altair kit and had many hours of fascinating absorbing tinkering.

  20. Hide your assets.. on Appeals Court Knocks Out "Innocent Infringement" · · Score: 1

    You are living in a a dictatorship that is run by the largest corporations in the world, you have no rights, you are a pawn in a police state, they will make a toy of you to impress upon others how truly powerless you are and how you can be crushed at a whim!

    When ever possible do not "own" but rather rent, keep your money in a foreign bank, one that is secretive and immune to American legal process.

    The Russians did not defeat Napoleon in direct battle but by burning everything of use and denying the French and food, shelter or fuel.

    If They win a judgment against you it is better to destroy everything you own than to give it to a mob of gangsters.

  23. Re:Magic on Fuel Cell Marvel "Bloom Box" Gaining Momentum · · Score: 1

    OK, aside from the appeal of "no moving parts", how does this device (fuel cell) improve on a sterling engine turning an alternator? With a sterling you can switch from a combustion heat source to a concentrated solar heat source on sunny days and for a lot less than $800,000.

  24. Older small workgroup hubs.. on Suggestions For a Coax-To-Ethernet Solution? · · Score: 1

    5 or 8 port, many had a 10 base 2 coax uplink port, this will limit you to 10mbps, also is the coax for CATV or data? there is a difference.
