  10. Re:Oh Noes--The "N" Word! on Nuclear Battery That Runs 10 Years · · Score: 2, Funny

    Parent is right: Don't worry about those old and busted boogey men.

  11. Re:its all about hierarchy on Suggestions for Browser Bookmark Management? · · Score: 1

  14. Bad Memories on date +%s Turning 1111111111 · · Score: 1

    What you want is a nice set of headphone.

    The airstrip at Salinas is one of the nation's longest, at 12,300 ft (3.7 km !). (It used to house B-52s and ICBMs.) The long runway was nessecary for the plane to get up to speed for take off.

  24. Grain from Chaff on Tim Bray Finds An Affinity Between Patents And OSS · · Score: 1

    Bray's suggestion seems a lot like the way the system originally worked. Didn't patent applications originially have to include a small working model? The two big problems are business methods patent (completely wrong-headed), combined with all-inclusive language (just sloppiness). Used to be, if you patented an improved thresher, you had to send along a small working model of what you were applying for, not just an application that said "A method and procedure for seperating grain from chaff...."

  25. CALEA on Earthlink Releases SIP Based P2P File-Sharing App · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Hmm. I wonder what will happen if the "VoIP" protocols (SIP and H.323) are suddenly used for much more than only VoIP? If apps like this generate a lot of traffic how will it affect the CALEA and other IP wiretapping efforts? Suddenly the SIP data is just a bunch of garbled white noise. Is it encrypted or is it P2P traffic?
