  1. Snow Crash on Employees Are The Biggest Security Threat · · Score: 1

    Working for the goverment are we?

  2. "Large number of emails" on Apple Deals with Devil, Communists · · Score: 1

    In fact the server no longer accepts messages
    for "drdinosaur". Oh, and isn't the username a touch ironic? (I was suggesting he rail on something more useful such as everybody's favorite whipping boy, scientology)

  3. Re:ORA PerlBook? on Perlbox: A Unix Desktop Written in Perl · · Score: 1

    Thne you would be wrong. Other Perl books are Llama, and Ram.

  4. Re:And the e-week site itself uses... on eWeek: Apache 2.0 Trumps IIS · · Score: 1

    That is not true. I could tell Apache
    that I have files names .asp but they
    are actually image/png. Or here's a wild
    and wacky thought, I might actually be
    serving ASP under Apache? Get a clue.

  5. Re:Two words: Energy Density on NASA Reports Vast Hydrogen Reserves in Earth's Crust · · Score: 1

    Which is why you use Hydrogen as your battery
    and sunlight as your reacharger. Last I checked
    we didn't care too much about the delta-vee
    required for our fuelt tanks. If we did you wouldn't have 2 ton behomths with 2 30-gallon tanks.

  6. Re:Life terraformed the earth. on Goodbye Global Warming!...Hello Terraforming? · · Score: 1

    Life ain't fast. It also is not restricted to "a narrow band". Consider the Antarctic oceans, Anatartica itself, the Sahara, black smokers, volcanic hot springs, bacteria retrieved from the moon deposited by previous missions.

  7. Re:Javascript is a joke on Konqueror's Javascript Continues To Improve · · Score: 1

    Hmm yes let's see, "s" is right next to "d" on a QWERTY keyboard, it couldn't be a typo could it? I also often replace "'" with ";", okay? Get a life.

  8. Re:Javascript is a joke on Konqueror's Javascript Continues To Improve · · Score: 2, Informative

    Frankly, I don't think you know what you're talking about. JScript et al went out the doors years ago; exclusing M$ tendency to embrace and extend. The remaining incompatibilities, usually faced when implementing DHTML, are not javascript specific. They are issues of the browser's DOM. Basically this means, as painful as it is to admit, Netscape 4 doesn't count. Netscape doesn't have a W3C compliant DOM. Never did. Why? The standard didn't exist. Netscape developed their own, JSSS (figure it out). Their proposal to have this be standard was rejected, and so they mapped what they could onto what they already had. Ever wonder why NN4 won't render style sheets without JavaScript enabled?

    Yeah, because you couldn't do up one-level

  10. Re:Ten Minute Searching Score on Teoma Aims To Kill Google · · Score: 1

    >(2) Google corrected my spelling, which Tacoma did not. I'll accept that from a Beta.
    my god man, it's a search engine, not a spell-checker. what of you want search for instances of misspelled words? and not be nbothered by the damn thing thinking it know better than you?

    Well from a quick check though, it's just as bad as any other search engine. What 4$$hole decided that nobody would ever want to search for something other than alphanumerics?

  11. Re:The obvious problem is... on Weirdest Case Mod You've Ever Seen · · Score: 1

    This foam degrades when exposed to the elements (notably sunlight), probably not a lot of that in your attic. I am happily running two 4 year-old machines thank you.

  12. Re:Can anyone answer this question? on Amino Acids Created in Deep-Space-Like Environment · · Score: 1
    The essential amino acids are simply the most common. Some species (usualy bacteria) do not use one or two of the essential set, others may use additional amino acids. Without expanding into the infinte possible amino acids by extending the chains, you have the issue of chirality. Compare your left and right hands, are they the same? No they are mirror images. The chemical in turkey that makes you sleepy is an amino acid called L-tryptophan. But you can also have D-tryptophan. For some unknown reason most of the biologically active chemicals on earth are L not D. However it is usually not advantageous to go off willy-nilly using different amino acids than everything else, because

    a) you have to make them yourself (can't ingest)
    b) you cannot meaningfully swap DNA with other species

  13. Re:The 18 thing is strange.. on Apple Cuts Off Under-18 Darwin Developer · · Score: 1

    This is not true, the insurance just costs more.
    I want on a business trip @ the age of 21 and
    the company got me a car, they just had to drop
    a bit more $$$ for it.

  14. Re:Similar to "Letters from a Nut" on He Writes Back · · Score: 1

    Only the book wasn't so funny, sure the first few letters are okay, but after awhile it becomes
    quite repititive.

  15. Re:.3? on RedHat 7.3 beta (skipjack) is out · · Score: 1

    No, they have explicitly said they do not have a policy to do this. It just so happens that they usually end up following that route.

    Maybe Tom was German and Jerry was American.

    the only problem is the search

    Startup control panel

    a nice simple control panel applet to let you easily manipulate all 4 registry keys involving
    services, as well as the Startup Folder.

  20. Re:Slashdot Hypocricy on Fair Software Installation · · Score: 1

    There is an exchange of funs in one of those,
    and not in the other. Besides most agree that
    Napster etc. is to varying degrees immoral.
    However as has been stated by many it scratched
    an itch that those whom had a legitimate right
    and ability to do so, refused to.

    Well I suppose it is one way

    VTWM suits me just fine thanks.
