    Until you can close opening single quotes, ... I dunno, I lost myself there. Please find me? And your verbs?

    Uh, no, the interns were already bored. :) That's why they just sit there, looking stupid.

    That in itself would be a bigger secret than anything that would be exposed by it. Acting on any information obtained that way would expose the biggest secret in the history of secrecy, pretty much. They aren't going to tip that hand just for you.

    Exactly: similar to the reason we let that town be destroyed in England; alerting them would have let the Germans know we figured out the Enigma, and those lives were deemed to be less important than "the war effort". (Note to self: stay out of the way of war efforts.)

  7. Re:Leave Steve Jobs Alone on Steve Jobs Health Worries Escalate · · Score: 1

    There is also a disturbing number of internet denizens who honestly think it is funny to make fun of someone dying or try and trivialize it because they don't like iPods or think that it's edgy or something.

    Um, no; cracking jokes at Death's expense is the only way we have of getting back at Him. QUIET YOU. okay!

    I had an 80 GB Intel SSD X25-M fail after almost exactly 12 months. (Warranty is 3 years, so no problem, other than the restore.)

    Highly agree. It was difficult to convince the "IT Manager" that these "expensive toys" were worth it but evidence is compelling.

    Language evolves and once a phrase is out there publicly, used correctly or not, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.

    Exactly. I just tried to help someone understand the origin of the phrase that has devolved into finding proof in a dessert. He maintained that "language evolves and math does not" but saying something that is patently ridiculous as a way of heightening one's credibility just doesn't seem to make sense. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating" makes sense. "The proof is in the pudding" does not; perhaps during a marriage proposal, I suppose, but not in general, and I agree, sometimes you just throw in the towel when people willfully choose to act as if they were ignorant.

    I think we're "preaching to each other" but anyway, "hold everything up until some space is freed" ends up running out of memory, and then what. Etc. You're right, it's better to rely on non-defective software. We don't, and thus, we reboot.

    WTF new Slashdot interface, I can see in the "Comments" view that this was down-modded and has a score of 1; but it doesn't show the moderation any longer. Then, when I click on the comment, it doesn't even show "score" on the comments "heading line"! I'd like to know how I'm rated, thankyouverymuch. And, what I meant by my "deepest" post was that was the deepest I had seen into Slashdot's inner workings. Anyway.
