  1. IE on redhat... on Making Browsers Honor the DNS SearchDomain? · · Score: 1

    I'm just trying to figure out how you tested that combination...

    ...applied for the zero-click patent.

  3. Terra Lycos.... on FBI To Use Ad Banners to Find Criminals · · Score: 1

    ...Yeah. As if google and yahoo aren't known worldwide.

    I guess if you add that they're known to caving in to imperialist governments...

  4. Mozilla - No tabs in home pages... on Slashback: Grids, Netscape, AMD · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...at least not yet.

    Maybe you're thinking of the Mozilla derivative (soon to have a new name) Phoenix?

    ...who can I trust?

    Yeah, but what about a beowolf... oh, nevermind...

    What, dodn't you mean portable OGG Player?

  9. Damn! on BBC To Revive Doctor Who Next Year · · Score: 1

    Now I've got to move over to the UK. Just as I was getting used to driving on the right side of the road...

  10. Re:Not pricing themselves out of the market on Preventing Broadband Price-Gouging? · · Score: 1

    I'm going to get a broadband connection in New York city (Staten Island, actually). Until now I've been using AT&T worldnet, which has been fine. What pitfalls should I expect? How much should I be willing to pay?

  11. 224 GB / 80 BG/sec = ??? on Cray's New Solid State Storage · · Score: 1

    Okay. so you can read all of the drive's memory in three seconds. (Not really, since you'll probably never get to the theoretical transfer speed).

    Wouldn't it be more useful if it was 224 TB? If I was going to buy something like this for my PC (!) I would want total storage to be more than three times the bandwidth...

  12. Didn't work here on Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.1.3 · · Score: 5, Funny

    I hit the update button in the tools menu, and it didn't mention anything about 10.1.3.

    All it gave me was some "Welcome to Windows Update" page. :-(

    Sure, they wake up in prison. But what about when you don't have enough prison space for everyone? (ie: Indians under the influence of Gandhi in the early fourties)

  14. Re:The End of my Windows eXPerience, I guess... on Win95 Lifecycle Draws to a Close · · Score: 1

    Well, that means that I have until 2003 to get WinXP to work on my two systems. So far it wort of installs on both my systems, but the amount I've have to change the default preferences is legion. So far I've taken 5 pages of notes so that I can reproduce the system the next time I have to re-install it. (What, you think I'll never have to do that on a MS system???)

  15. It depends on the enterprise they're talking about on Enterprise Linux: Are We There Yet? · · Score: 1

    Is this TOS, TNG, or ENT? I think Linux could make a lot of headway in ENT or even TOS. It's got years before it can compete with the system in _The Next Generation_.

  16. Re:Time for environment integration on GNU Emacs 21 · · Score: 1

    So, what your saying is....

    ... That you want an OS that you can drop onto the Emacs environment?

    ... A setup so that you can run a different OS in each Emacs buffer?

  17. Lots of time... on Milky Way & Andromeda Collision · · Score: 1

    In 3 billion years, I figure we'll have a way to create a force field around our galaxy. Screw those prissy Andromeda folks one last time. -- ksheka

  18. Re:About about the far side? on Building a Plutonium Memorial · · Score: 1

    Frankly, the moon is about the only place you could safely put it. Assuming that any post-modern culture develops, it will be some time before they are able to detect concentrated radiation on earth. (Well, except by noticing that people start dropping off, at least). On the moon, the material will be safe until the race has space-faring ability and will (with any luck) know not to touch the plutonium. Who knows. Maybe they will be able to put it to good use in the future. (Which makes it a better idea than to drop it into the sun. :-)

  19. Re:My scorecard on this: hits and misses on Miracles Of The Next Fifty Years, As Of 1950 · · Score: 1

    32. Widespread cures for viral disease Compared to 1950? Again absolutely yes.

    To the best of my knowledge, there is no viral disease that has a "cure". The best we can do is put them under remission. What's the cure for the common cold? AIDS? Herpes? The Flu?

    For the common cold, folk remidies work almost as well as zinc preparations and such.

    AIDS meds have to be taken for the rest of the persons life to continue remission.

    Herpes outbreaks can be stopped with acyclovir, but it just means you'll get it again in a few months/years.

    There are a couple antivirals for the viral flu (Influenza virus) but they have to be administered within 48 hours of symptoms beginning and just shorten the course by a couple days. Not really a big thing, since the flu is self-limited, anyway.
