  1. Re:RIP Itanic -- cpu buyers win on Intel Shifting 64-bit Plans · · Score: 1
    Whatever, man. I have G5 and Itanium2 machines at my desk.
    Wow. My Itanium2 machine was so loud I couldn't talk to the person in the next cube over the fan noise.

    Check out this guy who claims to have an ia64 in his bedroom.

  2. Re:Knowledge - Creativity: Why IP is so key. on A Thoughtful Look at Indian Outsourcing · · Score: 1
    So, will you be surprised at what I'm going to say next?
    Well I was surprised. What does the last paragraph about IP protections have to do with C++ vs .NET, char arrays, stl strings, BSTR's, _bstr_t's, and CComBSTR's?
  3. How can this be ridiculous? on Machine Vision Patents Thrown Out · · Score: 0

    Lemelson is just performing his fiduciary duty by maximising shareholder returns!

    SPEWS suck - collateral damage to the extent they do is not appropriate. Don't use them. End of story

    Yeah, Microsoft should be able to bundle a ham sandwich in there if it wants to.

    Make sure you get a copy of their sheet music first.

  13. Re:How short-selling works on SCO Investor Changing the Deal · · Score: 0
    When you go short, your potential profit is limited, your potential loss is unlimited.

    The maximum amount of profit you can make is if the stock goes to zero in which case you can pocket the complete value of the stock. However stocks very rarely increase in value infinitely so your loss can never be unlimited.

    You can also tell your broker to close your short position if the stock rises above a certain level which limits your loss (a stop loss order).

    Damn right. Bow down before me!

  15. Re:Time for better security. on Kernel Exploit Cause Of Debian Compromise · · Score: 1, Informative
    Dude, it is. Check out Linux Security Modules which has an implementation of SELinux.

    It should be in the 'Security' menu option when you configure the kernel.

    Oh well that's all right then. So it's OK for me to work for a drug dealer as long as I am a nice person?

  21. Re:...Or the "unbreakable" DVD encryption? on Broadcast Flag All But Approved · · Score: 0
    The fundamental mistake MPAA/RIAA made was deciding to convert physical product, an object you go in the store and buy, into a stream of numbers.

    Also one is exposed to an infinite rate of loss.

    Yeah stock prices often go to infinity. Look up stop loss orders and how they relate to shorts.

  23. Content flittering on Does Your Company Censor the Content for You? · · Score: 0

    My company used to censor the goatse guy. No really, this is serious (see - I didn't even link to it).

    For some reason the block seems to have been lifted though so we can now... well that's enough of that. (-:

    One of the amusing rules the content filter used to censor was sites about working around content filters. Duh.

    Or the word 'backups' which appear to have euphamistically replaced the word 'pirate copy' in the warez arena. Often accompanied by some nonsensical claim about copied games being 'for backup purpose only'.

    Dude, that was happening in the 80's with Apple ][ games.
