  1. Re:What about usability? on Complete List of Bugs Fixed in SP2 · · Score: 1

    Well, SP2 has introduced a 5 minute wait to reconnect to the WLAN after you wake it up.

  2. Re:Very long list on Complete List of Bugs Fixed in SP2 · · Score: 1

    It's similar to the Imaging for Windows thing. Microsoft decided not to relicense "nosmoke.exe" for Windows XP, so they have to slow things down before the smoke comes out.

  3. ObGoatse on SHA-0 Broken, MD5 Rumored Broken · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    i just want to know what the fuck a "rump session" is

    I think it's a hands-on instructional session.

  4. Re:The real way to protect windows on a broadband on The Cost of Computer Naivete · · Score: 2, Funny
    Cover your ethernet chord with a prophalctic(sp?).

    Not really neccesary. You wouldn't have these problems if you started from Middle C like you were taught at your very first lesson.

  5. The Cost of Asthetic Naivete on The Cost of Computer Naivete · · Score: 1

    Can be seen here.

  6. Re:Programmable GUI on PostgreSQL Wins LJ Editor's Choice Award · · Score: 2, Funny
    I know there are several that I can mention here, but none comes even half close to what M$'s Jet engine has with Access.

    Hundreds of unneeded parentheses and "DBA.everything"?

  7. I can see it now! on Life After Doom · · Score: 1

    This is a small field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.
    There is a small mailbox here.

  8. Re:This evens the board! on Open Source in California Government · · Score: 1

    Speak for yourself. I thought Batman rocked when I saw it as a kid.

  9. Re:I'm all in favor of alternative energy sources on Human-powered Helicopter Fails to Lift Off · · Score: 2, Funny

    Soylent Diesel is .... PEOPLE!!!

  11. Re:Unfortunately on IBM Adding Almost 19,000 Jobs · · Score: 1
    I can just hear the political speaches now:

    "There were thousands of jobs created while I was president...

    All we had to do was wave the spalling need, and any Joe Blow off the street can rise as high as Prezident.

  12. Re:Minesweeper, etc. on Online Replacements for Desktop Apps? · · Score: 1

    To hell with Minesweeper. Try this.

  13. Re:Works well for me thanks on Windows XP SP2 Impressions · · Score: 1

    Nope. Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger are both chat clients (both the same program with different branding maybe?). The Messenger service is what handles "Net Send" messages. In fact, WinXP states "This service is not related to Windows Messenger" when you look at it in the Services list.

  14. Re:Limited outbound connections on Windows XP SP2 Impressions · · Score: 0, Troll
    Microsoft has every right to block whatever they want.

    Absolutely. On their own computers. Why should they be blocking MY tools on MY computers?

    think that BSOD jokes occur 10 times a day

    BSOD jokes occur 10+ times a day on Slashdot alone. Imagine how many times a day BSOD jokes occur thoughout the entire world.

  16. Re:Conviction without a trial on Judges Junk Jailcam · · Score: 1

    Perhaps there is a cop or two willing to trade a picture of a celebrity for a picture of a dead president?

  17. Re:This saves me a lot of money! on 3D Monitor · · Score: 3, Funny

    Take a deep breath, let it out slowly, and meditate on how there is always something worse out there.

  18. Re:Pointy stick! Pointy stick! on Microsoft Developing Linux Policy, Plan of Attack · · Score: 1

    The fingers you have used to power-off are too fat. To order a special power-button wand, please mash your palm on the keyboard now.

  19. Re:Your favorite quote on Microsoft Developing Linux Policy, Plan of Attack · · Score: 1
    Which version of windows do I want? ME? 2000? XP? What does "pro" mean?

    Pro means "Add $200" and be licensed for a second CPU.

    In XP it also means you can be an Active directory client and can connect to Windows 2000 Terminal Services via the embedded license, but not to Windows 2003 Terminal Services.

  20. Re:Aha! on Microsoft Developing Linux Policy, Plan of Attack · · Score: 1

    Sure they do. Remember, their customers are the click-n-droolers, NOT the those of us that have to admin the shit.
