  1. backups without source control on Pushing the Need for Bug Tracking? · · Score: 0

    Just create a cron or at job to tar up the source once a day. Keep a couple of months' worth of backup files around (unless the source is huge). That should give you a way to get back to a working version if something goes kerplunk.

  2. Re:Validation on HTTP Request Smuggling · · Score: 0

    People who do this are supposed to set the evil bit (RFC 3514).

  3. Re:The cause is obvious... on Unexplained Leap In CO2 Levels · · Score: 0
    I tried to patent patent barratry as a business model, but there was too much prior art.

    How about parrotry? You could license it to journalists, who largely parrot what other journalists say.

  4. viruses and mad cows? on WiFi Gone Wild · · Score: 0

    What happens if a cow downloads a virus via WiFi? Does it turn into a mad cow?

  5. slogan on ExtremeTech Reviews Google's Gmail Beta · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Is the gmail motto "All your email are belong to us"? Or does Microsoft have a trademark on that?

  6. trademarks and patents on Machine Vision Patents Thrown Out · · Score: 5, Funny

    I plan to trademark the "TM" trademark symbol, and then charge everyone else royalties to use it. Once that is successful, I will patent that as a new business method.

  7. lots of non-idiots on Is Your Boss An Idiot? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've never had or even seen an idiot boss. The closest thing I've seen is one boss (not mine) who thought that the only way to get people to do anything was to scream at them. People mostly just ignored him.

  8. where's the SEC? on SCO Says IBM is Beating Up on Them · · Score: 1

    Given that SCO insiders recently sold stock for the first time in ages, why isn't the SEC investigating to see if the only purpose of SCO's lawsuit was to manipulate the stock price?

  9. Re:Why an open relay? on Open Relays, Free Speech, and Virus Propagation · · Score: 2, Insightful

    An open relay is a public nuisance, like leaving loaded weapons out where anyone can take them.

  10. using a computer as short-term memory on Are Computers Stealing Your Memory? · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of a science fiction book -- I think it was Oath of fealty -- where one character had a direct link from his brain to his company's computer and used the computer to remember things for him. Then he found out that someone had broken into the computer, meaning the cracker had effectively broken into his brain.

  11. .dot on ICANN Selects New Top Level Domains · · Score: 1

    What about a .dot TLD? I always wanted to be dot.dot@dot.dot

  12. CLI's didn't originate with Unix on KDE 2.0 Beta 3 Is Out · · Score: 1

    > Considering *NIX is the home of the CLI
    Command-line interfaces predate Unix by many years. TOPS-10 on the PDP-10, for example, came out in 1964.

  13. is Sealand the Duchy of Grand Fenwick? on Ask Havenco's CTO Anything You'd Like · · Score: 1

    Is Sealand based on the Duchy of Grand Fenwick as described in Leonard Wibberly's book "The mouse that roared"?

  14. ZDnet is a business publication on Attacking Open Source · · Score: 1

    ZDnet is a business publication with a focus on computers, not a technical publication. If something isn't already making a ton of money and doesn't look like it's about to soon, they consider it useless.
