  1. Re:Except for the fact on Apple and Windows Will Force Linux Underground · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've been bugging Apple to create an Apple home server, that will serve up user home directories, be a central iTunes and movie server. I've done this on my own, but would really like a turn key box for all this.

    Um, it's marked insightful. You must be one of my users. They can't read either.

  3. Re:Article's author scared of free software on Apple and Windows Will Force Linux Underground · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Linux will always run on pc hardware. Too many people have too much fun with it. And don't forget NetBSD. It'll run on anything. As long as a single hacker has a single finger, there'll be free software. And porn.

    Someone wants to MS to borrow money, fire everyone, and put snakes in the OS? /didn't read TFA, didn't read TFSynopsis

  5. Re:E-Card & Video on Weird Al Says 'Don't Download This Song' · · Score: 1

    Whoa! I never considered that. That would be COOL! I mean, I really like Has Been and, with Henry Rollins producing it, a Shatner/Yankovich album would rock!

    What about Warren Zevon? His stuff was continually new and original. Fame and fortune didn't ruin him. Hell, I caught him at this small bar in St. Pete a few years ago and he was amazing. Was nice and empty and you could walk right up to the stage. Cool!

    his ac'97 codec on my motherboard is little short of painful...

    Oh man, that sucks! I hear they use those down in Guantanamo (along with Weird Al and William Shatner albums).

  8. Re:Find that in the Constitution, bright boy. on AOL CTO Shown the Door · · Score: 1

    Not so much waving gun around, but when going over to a friend's house, those of us who carry know it's polite to check our guns at the door or bring them in in a case.

  9. Re:Feynman, Darwin, and Ricketts on Scientists Biographies for 5th and 6th Graders? · · Score: 1

    Ed Ricketts

    As the guy who invented the beer milkshake, I take my hat off to him. Now if only the Navy had paid attention to him and his buddy, when they said they had access to Japanese navel charts, we might not have lost so many men when their landing craft grounded a 1/2 mile off the beaches...

  10. Re:Lovelace? on Scientists Biographies for 5th and 6th Graders? · · Score: 1

    How would anyone confuse Ada Lovelace with a porn star? Unless they are familiar with porn stars. Hmmm...

    Back in the early 80's, I started out naming my personal computers after characters in Hamlet. I'm now up to "First Sailor". Sigh. Who knew we'd ever have so many computers or that you'd keep getting new ones instead of upgrading them. Oh well, at least I haven't run out of Beowulf names for my cars.

    I think, at one time, it orbited just a few inches above the surface of earth but moved very, very fast!

    I'm so glad I don't go around farting out of my Ooranos. That would be hard to say!

    I'm pissed at what's happening to my country. I'm running for my State House. You should be involved in at least as much.

    You want me to run for your state house as well? Which state house?

    Eckerd College? We had a Sophos contract when I worked there several years ago. Never did get it installed on my office Mac. /Bad Mac user. No biscuit!

  20. Re:Ken Lay -- serial killer? on Enron's Kenneth Lay Dies · · Score: 1

    Then why the hell would they work for a company that seemed to be doing well, that had matching stock options and paid a decent raise? Why didn't they each hire accountants and detectives to verify what the SEC required accountants were saying regarding the state of the company. Hell, why didn't they whip out their telepathy helmets and read the board's brains and see what was going on? 'Course, they coulda' watched their futur-vision screens and know ahead of time that the company was going under. Meh. Fucking losers!

    I'd heard that they thought the Red Spot was anchored to a hot spot welling up there. I could see a permenant storm zone forming in the mid-Atlantic. That would be fun. Damn glad I moved from 54' above sea level in Florida to 6800'

    I grew up expecting a new ice age, being narrated by Mr. Spock. Hell, we had snow outside of Tampa back in '77-'78. Was all set for glaciers to be attacking Buffalo. D'oh!

    Majority of people buy stuff based on advertising. They see a cool looking LCD tv at Best Buy or Sam's Club, whip out the credit card and are on their way. Researching stuff is work, don't j'a know?
