  1. Re:SCO and DOS on SCO Calls GPL Unenforceable, Void · · Score: 3, Funny

    Please do not DOS them.
    Allow them the maximum use of their bandwidth.
    This will allow them to discredit and incriminate themselves much more effectively.

    Not quite.
    Judging by the way they read English documents and Legallese documents: They and their lawyers are clearly dyslexic.

    both domains.

  6. Security by Semiobscurity on Build Your Own Electronic Key Card Lock · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This device will keep the power switch safe
    from anybody that does not understand electricity.
    Anybody else can bypass the unit with a handy
    suitably reshapable piece of conductive material.
    Probably a piece of wire would do.
    Those whom the computer is protected against
    are probably not a threat.

    This could be the world's biggest cluster....

    This is not the first time this mistake has been made.
    I remember when FoxPro for windows was first released
    with buttons that deppressed and bounced back up(Oh Wow).
    Their (Fox Software (not yet M$)). Caught onto this
    boinking the buttons theme. When they did their first
    demo in Europe going on about 'Boinking in FoxPro'
    The audience went slackjawed.

  15. Re:Such a waste of money on Mars Sundials - True Colors, Ambiguous Hours · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I suggest that you file a patent application with the USPTO for the sundial.
    They will undoubtably grant you said patent after a summary verification of your email address.
    You will then be able to sue NASA for enough money to start your own private market space exploration program.

    You are not using a modern keyboard.

    You are using a Modern Art keyboard.

    We used to use backtick an tilde as delimiters in proprietary text storage and parsing routines. Nobody will these when entering text into a program. Well at least that was the theory at design time.

    Driver education would probably be a good use.
