  1. *SPOILER ALERT* on Evolution Robotics' ER1 Reviewed · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Here's a hint:

    It's because he sucks.

  2. Re:Why single out SDI? on Software Bug Causes Soyuz To Land Way Off · · Score: 1

    Very nice rant. A bit simplistic, but oh well. Now, 150,000 people sure is alot...but add up the rest of the casualties. The US sure lost alot of it's own troops, especially fighting a war that never got to it's own soil (with one exception, of course). If by nuking a few Japanese the war ended early and avoided friendly casualties, I'm all for it. It's WAR pudgy, none of this 'may the best man win' shit, the goal is to win and win fast. Besides, if the Germans made it out of Europe and accross the Atlantic, which country do you think they would have attacked first?

  3. I have the same concern... on Linux Media Jukebox on the Cheap · · Score: 1

    I've seen 2 sites that claim to have a device that can be used to control the cablebox via IR, but neither had a price and neither responded when I asked about them. As far as I've been able to determine, my cablebox a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 does not have or does not publish the ability to control it via the USB port.

    I suppose I could build my own device that can be used to record and playback IR signals...but I'm too lazy to figure it all out.

  4. Wow that was lame... on Webcams to Enforce Singapore Quarantine · · Score: 1

    Yeah, like everyone didn't know about Singapore. I wouldn't call this 'Big Brother', I'd call it protecting the people from the illness. Of course, I also think steel chastity belts for those with AIDS might have some merit...

  5. Why do I feel like... on Rebuilding Iraq's Internet · · Score: 1

    ...Iraq is going to become a world power in open-relays and general SPAMishness?

  6. Quality... on Java Performance Tuning, 2nd Ed. · · Score: 1

    Why did the thread bitching about + vs. append() get so many points?

  7. Re:get your pirate name here: on Windows Key Leak Threatens Mass Piracy · · Score: 1

    Ye've stolen me name, now 'tis time fer yeh ta DIE!

  8. Re:Shake 3 NOT OSX-only on Apple Updates Professional Video Lineup · · Score: 1

    Haha...oh yeah...such sweet, sweet revenge. If the Apple Cycle continues as it has in the past, it's only a year or two until they fuck themselves again.

  9. Unless the tee-vee is lying... on Ender's Game Influences US Army Training · · Score: 1

    Modern troops are well trained. They are taught not only how to use their tools, and how to react, but WHY. I would think that they do a fair bit of reading to learn these things. Having them read a fictional story, which considering my science fiction bias, is not exactly dull doesn't sound like a stretch. Oh well..it is the New York Times..generally good stories but too often the reporter injects a bit too much of their own bias and preconceptions.

  10. Re:Idiot on CDMA vs. GSM in Post-war Iraq · · Score: 1

    Here's hoping a mad Texan smashes your hands with a sledge hammer.

  11. Re:Idiot on CDMA vs. GSM in Post-war Iraq · · Score: 1

    Sorry..should have qualified my statement with "At the end of the war."

  12. Idiot on CDMA vs. GSM in Post-war Iraq · · Score: 1

    They don't HAVE a cell-phone infrastructure. You can return your right hand to your lap now. Geeze...

  13. Yeah..all that awesome 'peer reviewed' code... on Too Cool For Secure Code? · · Score: 0

    Taken a look at sourceforge? My god, some of the work is horrible!

  14. First Cold Fusion Post on More on Lenses with a Negative Index of Refraction · · Score: 1

    Bah, I'll believe it when I have glasses made out of it!

  15. 2 more words... on Are We Not Ready For 64-Bit? · · Score: 1

    NO SCSI?!

    Please. Apple makes purty parts, but it's still soft and squishy.

  16. Yes, it will be different! on Ask Nicholas Petreley About Linux Usage Statistics · · Score: 1

    I'm hoping for 3 or 4 wars.

  17. This guy's article sounds like a myth... on Debunking Linux-Windows Market Share Myths · · Score: 1

    His..uh...'sources'...yah I dunno about those.

  18. Re:DOesn't matter... on New Windows Worm Inching Around Internet · · Score: 1

    When I have IDs on 20 different systems, each on a different schedule of forced password changes, yeah it gets kinda tough. Add to that my company's rule that you have to go through 5 different passwords on a given system before re-use and you only get 3 tries before it locks out the account. Ugh.

  19. DOesn't matter... on New Windows Worm Inching Around Internet · · Score: 1

    Even if you encourage stronger passwords, people use the easy ones. If you force them to use strong passwords via password checkers, they just write the fucking passwords on a sticky note stuck to their monitor. I have seen this way too often to laugh anymore. I just write mine down on a card and lock it in my desk :)

  20. First Repeat Story Complaint Post on Playing with Google · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Damn I am a loser.

  21. Yeah right... on Congress Asks Universities To Enforce Copyrights · · Score: 1

    Like the schools can keep up with this. I predict state-funded schools will have no choice, and the private orgs will tell them to go fuck themselves.

  22. You're a dork now...and you'll be a worse dork... on Advice You Would Give to Your 12 Year-Old Self? · · Score: 1

    ...in college. Accept it.

  23. And Clinton! on Bookseller Purges Records to Avoid PATRIOT Act · · Score: 1

    And all the others. You half-wit.

  24. Errr... on Enterprise-class ATA Drives · · Score: 1

    Unless your Desktop PC is running an application that touches on many many files. Oh like building a large project.

  25. Corporate on AMD's Athlon-64 Benchmarked With UT2003 · · Score: 1

    Turn arround, walk 2 steps to your bed, lay down, and cry.
