  1. Re:50 feet away? on Navy Tests Mach 8 Electromagnetic Railgun · · Score: 1

    I've been to Dahlgren when they shot off one of their smaller toys, and the ground shook a mile away.

  2. Re:Revival of the floppy disk! on Military Bans Removable Media After WikiLeaks Disclosures · · Score: 1

    I saved all those zip disks that everybody else was throwing out. I had two PC's with internal zips, which came in real handy when they banned thumb drives. Apparently, the centrifugal force flings malware off, whereas a camera card could take dirty pictures and thus was banned.

  3. Re:So... on USAF Unveils Supercomputer Made of 1,760 PS3s · · Score: 1

    The IG would come down on them like the proverbial ton of bricks. They are not using it to pirate movies, they're doing research into various things that need a supercomputer.

  4. Re:More Details and Background on A Third of World's Spam From One Russian Man · · Score: 1
  5. Re:Better on Factory To Make Biodiesel From Chicken Fat · · Score: 1

    I spent 3 weeks in Madagascar, mostly on taxibrousses, and that stuff smells like a coal fire. Euro diesels are flowery in comparison. Chicken is no problem: the whole south USA smells like that anyhow.

  6. Re:Yes They Are! on Hiding Backdoors In Hardware · · Score: 1

    ...and my government work was done with a secure operating system from the state of Washington. None of this free stuff from Africa or wherever it's from.

  7. Re:Tell you what on Microsoft Announces Web-Based Office365 · · Score: 1

    Me: "Can I print on my old printer?" Win7: "Screw you. Buy a new printer and download a 300MB driver." Tux: "Sure. Drivers built in, you wanna test page?"

  8. Re:Tell you what on Microsoft Announces Web-Based Office365 · · Score: 1

    I run AbiWord when I don't want to wait for OO to load, and just want to type something simple. Sorta like Works and Word, but without the evil monopoly.

  9. Re:What do you think, Slashdotters? on Minnesota Moving To Microsoft's Cloud · · Score: 1

    I just escaped from the US Air Force, which is virtually all Microsoft. Windows Vista, Internet Explorer, all the yummy stuff. Seems to me if you buy a million desktop operating systems, you could get something that was secure.

  10. Re:"appear"... "virtually"? on Non-Embryonic Stem Cells Developed From Skin Cells · · Score: 1

    And Hitler invented the Volkswagen.

  11. Re: pack ratting on Best Way To Archive Emails For Later Searching? · · Score: 1

    You have 2 delete buttons for a REASON.
