  1. Re:This is good? Are you sure? on Microsoft, Google Sue Troll Who Sued 397 Companies · · Score: 0

    Did you forget this is ./ ??? Or are you just looking for a virtual beating for sounding supportive of a patent troll on ./ ??

  2. Re:Greedy People who Run Things on FCC To Vote On Net Neutrality On December 21 · · Score: 0

    I agree completely, but that's nothing new...

  3. Re:Oh dear... on The Surprising Statistics Behind Flash and Apple · · Score: 0

    That's because nobody can read/decipher it!

  4. Re:But was it Windows or Linux ? on Drunken Employee Shoots Server · · Score: 0

    Probably Solaris, based on the price...

  5. Re:damn.... on The Coming Onslaught of iPad Competitors · · Score: 0

    You mean iSuppositories...

  6. Looks great. on 400 Turns of Civilization V · · Score: 0

    This looks pretty good. I definitely like the hex-spaces instead of squares - it gives more of a natural feel to the borders (although it'll pose a slight problem when converting civ4 maps...). Look forward to playing the actual game...

  7. Re:Happy sysadmin day? on Happy System Administrator Appreciation Day · · Score: 0

    Just like programmers' day (Sep. 13th; 12th if leap year). Add both to all calendars...

  8. Re:I'll probably be dead by then, right? on 1-in-1,000 Chance of Asteroid Impact In ... 2182? · · Score: 0

    You can get food with sharp, pointy sticks....

  9. Re:Seriously, why is WPA needed? on Wi-Fi WPA2 Vulnerability Found · · Score: 0

    Now that you've set that up, nobody can connect.

    No, they can connect. You don't need (can't have) a VPN tunnel to connect. Once connected (open access point), however, the router won't route anything past itself until the client creates the VPN tunnel.

  10. iLawyers on Apple Doesn't Appreciate Toilet Humor · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Did the iLawyers iPoo their iPants when they saw this iApp supposedly violating their iTrademark?

  11. More life on New Hubble Ultra Deep Field In Infrared · · Score: 1

    Seeing that image which is a TINY fraction (perhaps too small to even be considered a fraction) of the universe makes me wonder how some people think there can't be any other life in the universe... We just can't communicate with it because of distance/delay concerns.

  12. Re:So let me get this straight... on Less Than Free · · Score: 1

    I think that now there is so little (excluding read-only optical media) of the "true" ROM (stuff that can never be rewritten). Now, just about all "ROM" (technically, EEPROM) can be flashed (rewritten) for the purpose of updating (or others...). So now the term "ROM" is synonymous with firmware. So, custom ROM=custom firmware. Or in the case of emulators, ROM is the image required for the emulator to ... emulate.

  13. Re:But... on openSUSE 11.2 Released · · Score: 1

    I dunno, my wifi has worked perfectly since 10.3... on 2 different laptops and 1 dektop... all three had different chip makers (Atheros, Intel, Broadcom).

  14. Re:Wokring Link? on openSUSE 11.2 Released · · Score: 1

    No... it seems just about all mirrors (that I checked) are either timing out or give 403 Forbidden messages. I was able to start a download from a direct link (but it got flaky and stopped), and now I can't even start (or find a working torrent).

  15. Re:Penalties on Microsoft Patents Sudo's Behavior · · Score: 1

    There's already a sudo with a GUI (in Linux w/KDE): kdesu I'm not sure about GNOME, but I would think it has something similar Honestly, I hate when M$ tries to patent trivial shit. It's like saying: "I'm going to go patent J-PB-J sandwich, because I used jelly twice!".

  16. Re:Build-in function library on Go, Google's New Open Source Programming Language · · Score: 1

    I'll be very surprised if there isn't a Wiki by morning, and I'll be there's half a dozen or more Waves about it by now.

    There's already a wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(programming_language) Provides hardly any info, but stil...

  17. Re:Boo on Learning Ext JS · · Score: 1

    We're actually working on one at [I'll omit company name]. The only problem is that the browser the users will be using will be IE6 (not by our choice)... It's a pain in the ass coding for that thing! Naturally, our app still runs well on all browsers, but IE6 was just a pain to code for!! :(

  18. How sturdy is it??? on Student Designs Cardboard Computer Case · · Score: 1

    I wonder what would happen if something hit it... I can't imagine it would be very sturdy... What if some angry jackass just kicks it? Or what if I spill my coffee on it?

  19. Misplaced effort... on Boy Fakes Kidnapping to Avoid Bringing Home Report Card · · Score: 1

    If he put that much effort into actually working hard in school, he wouldn't have this problem...
