  1. Re:Downloading Firefox w/ IE? on How Can I Trust Firefox? · · Score: 1
    Next thing we know, an internal Microsoft memo will surface recommending that MS "cut off Firefox's air supply."

    Also: seineew era sreenigne xoferiF

  2. Re:"Numeric IP address" ? on How Can I Trust Firefox? · · Score: 1

    Better stay away from 207.46.134.90 and 207.46.249.57 then. Not only are those NUMERIC IP addresses, but they send to you ANOTHER PAGE immediately, which means they MUST be serving untrustable software, right?

    Nah. Slashdot needed a new editor, Scooby needed work...

  4. Re:Oh boy. This guy is a scriptwriter? on Open Letter to Doom Fans from Script Writer · · Score: 1
    Ya but if Stephen Spielberg directed, he'd probably keep replacing the guns with a flashlight

    I, for one, was looking forward to the seeing the Big Fine Walkie-Talkie 9000 in action.

    Not to mention the double-antenna walkie-talkie and the walkie-talkie launcher.

  5. Re:Comedy... on IT Practice Within Microsoft · · Score: 1

    In addition to Group Policy (Intellimirror), you can use SMS as well. SMS doesn't require MSI files, so can support legacy installs without repackaging as an MSI. SMS 2003 can show it's programs in Add/Remove the same as Group Policy.

    In Korea, only old people try to list Slashdot memes for laughs.

    Well, you could try selling boxes.

    Just don't give it to Madden! We'll get Tinky-Winky drawn over Peyton Manning on Monday night football.

    Very BOFHish. Can you even fit "Hi" into 10 millibits?

  11. Re:If only laptop included... on Laptops May Be Hazardous to Your Fertility · · Score: 1

    Use your cell phone. Same sterility concerns, much more compact for placement in tight spaces.

  12. Re:i don't get this. on Firefox New York Times Ad, Soon · · Score: 1

    Well, yes. A hyped $50,000 party of just about anything will get attention, but will it generate the desired kind of attention? A well-done, highly visible ad in a respected newspaper should attract the attention and interest of many who would likely expect a geek party to consist of rousing choruses of "SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM" and a grand melee between the Kirk and Picard camps to close off the evening.

  13. Re:Well! on Arrests Made Near D.C. Over Modded Game Consoles · · Score: 1

    Maybe they can cut their developers back to 16 hours a day, 7 days a week!

    What does collecting my personal contact information have to do with escalators in China?

  15. ObHomer on Non-Invasive Computer Control Through Brainwaves · · Score: 1
    Saw the headline and thought "Non-Invasive Brain Control Through Computers".

    Don't worry, head. The computer will do our thinking now.

  16. Re:RHEL ES vs. W2K3 SBS on Dell Calls For Red Hat To Lower Prices · · Score: 1

    And the cost of Windows 2003 Server to run TS itself. SBS won't allow you to use TS for more than Remote Admin (if the Wikipedia entry is correct), so you would have to buy Windows 2003 Server to actually connect users for application use.

  17. Time to check Groklaw on 1-Click Blooper Playback for Original Trilogy DVD · · Score: 0

    Has Amazon sued DVDFILE yet?

  18. Re:Windows 2003 popularity? on Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2003 · · Score: 1
    Other than the .NET Framework that can also be bolted onto W2K, I don't know what the advantages are to running Win 2003.

    Default behaviour is to reboot after a BSOD finishes dumping its memory, then it tells you at next login that there was a STOP, and what the error was. And you can adddress up to 32GB RAM without going to the Datacenter version in 2003. 2003 Terminal Services also supports more than 16 colors, IIRC.

  19. Re:Fix LDAP first... on Samba 4 Reaches "Susan" Stage · · Score: 1

    Actually, I lost the PDC and Schema master a couple of years ago. It took less than 30 minutes of work on one of the other DCs to seize those FSMOs. Losing a GC, even if you have more than one, is more irritating, since all the PCs that look to it for the catalog do not like to fail over gracefully, at least in my situation - Exchagne 2000, Outlook 2000, Windows 2000.

    Youre box responsible for the Global Catalog is NOT the one you dont want to lose.

    Actually, it IS the box you don't want to lose. The way to hedge your bets on this is to have mare than one GC.

  21. Re:IT? on Golden Spam Cans to Promote Python Musical · · Score: 1

    Actually, the IT section provides a visual theme commensurate with the popular perception of the taste of SPAM, and the perceived social class and education level of the consumers of SPAM.

    With Rick Moranis as an evil nazi?

    It's a good thing you specified an evil Nazi, as opposed to all those other kinds of Nazis that were in the other Indiana Jones films.

    On the wrist. It will be implanted in the last numeral of the serial number tattooed there.

  25. Re:the 15-square puzzle on Programming Puzzles · · Score: 1
    I'm looking at my Rubix Cube now and I'm noticing that a couple of the labels aren't on straight. Hmmmm.... Either this means that manufacturing standards are low enough that you probably wouldn't notice this type of hoaxing, or it means that someone has already done it to my Rubix cube and I still haven't noticed.

    Actually, it means that you need to stop buying the crappy, gray-market knockoffs and buy a real Rubik's Cube. You might want to trade in your Sorny TV, too.
