  1. The governmet rips POSIX out of NT installs on Linux -- Government Acceptance vs. Actual Use · · Score: 1

    Being part of a massive NT network install for the government, let me tell you that in reality the POSIX requirements are outdated and not used. In fact, we ripped out the POSIX layer of NT for sercurity reasons.

    Yup, the govt makes you put it in, just so we can rip it right out. Tax dollars hard at work!

  2. Re:X-Men Sucked big time on Slashdot Meets X-Men · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that Rogue couldn't fly until her and Mystique's gang busted up on Ms. Marvel (if we really wanna be geeky fanboys here) and Rogue permanently stole Marvel's power.

    And Anna Panquin was (I think) quite cute there, in an "I-dig-those-frumpy-geek-chicks" sorta way.

  3. Katz, not to nitkpick but... on Slashdot Meets X-Men · · Score: 1

    "And for good measure, he had to live up to the high expectations set by his last movie, Usual Suspects."

    Bryan Singer's last movie was Apt Pupil. Hire a fact-checker.

  4. The Pentagon Will Spend Money on ANYTHING! on Mysterious Cold War Spacecraft Designs! · · Score: 1

    the Pentagon wouldn't have wasted its money on anything that wasn't completely feasible

    Ummm... I work for the DoD, and more specifically, I work on a training system that's currently 3 years behind schedule, on it's second set of contractors, and has so far run up a tab of $70 Million to replace an ancient VAX 8650 system.

    And the funny part is, when/if this new system works, it will cost about $1 Million more a year to upkeep than the old VAX will...

  5. Moo-Ha-Ha-Ha!!!!! on "Lord of the Rings" Quicktime Preview Available · · Score: 1

    Now to load it into Premiere and convert it....
