  1. Quoth Gates on Microsoft Admits To Backdoor In IIS [updated] · · Score: 1

    All your IIS are belong to us!!

  2. Next movie? on Star Trek's Next Series · · Score: 1

    So, when do we get to see Stewart, Shatner, and Bakula in a movie together. Let me guess, this time, he survives into the far future in a cryopod in a holodeck. More feasible than a looping transporter or some random energy that takes you to a house with horses.

  3. so does this mean... on Computers That Solve Problems Without Being On · · Score: 1

    So can we theoretically /. a site without ever visiting it? Or can I first post without ever posting? There goes the neighborhood...

  4. I certainly hope... on Technology vs. Cheating at the University of Virginia · · Score: 2

    that he's reviewing these results on an individual basis. We use a similar system we wrote to check students in our CS program at school. It really can work. It can also destroy someone's academic record if wrong. This kind of stuff needs human review to insure that it's matching patterns correctly.

  5. Re:I can't wait for MS to get a hold of this on Bell Labs, Preserving Delicate Sensibilities · · Score: 1

    Ok idiot, read more closely before you post shi-at like this. The article says text to speech, not the other way around. It would have been funnier if you had said something about them using alt.cowboyneal.fanclub as a test subject.

  6. Use their own words against them on Searching for Pro-Napster Experts and Speakers? · · Score: 1

    Point out that Lars is an idiot and a hypocrite, point to the original notion of copyright in the Constitution, and then tell them that they're violating exsisting law by even talking about the subject. Point at them and say "Look, it's the RIAA," and when they turn to look, punch 'em.

  7. Here's an idea... on When ASPs Go Under · · Score: 2

    Let's become partners with someone who has a business model that doesn't work!

  8. Changes? on Microsoft Bootstraps "Matrix" Game Rights Purchase · · Score: 2

    Maybe instead of being humans trying to overthrow the evil Matrix, Gates'll change the story "slighty" to be good-natured MS employees fighting against the evil Agent Tux and his evil cohorts, keeping humanity bottled up in a world of Open Sourcing, where people only think it's effective...

  9. So with this... on Taking VHF Ham Radio From Local To Global · · Score: 4

    if those aliens from Independence Day attack, we won't have to rely on old morse code!

  10. Up in the sky! on NASA's Odds For Iridium De-Orbit Casualties · · Score: 1

    It's a bird! It's a plane! It's....*thunk*. Iridium smacking into my head.

  11. How does it feel? on Verizon Clogged With Tons Of Spam · · Score: 3

    Well, now they know how those of us who've had a hotmail account for more than 5 seconds feel like.

  12. Well, I guess... on Are Fingerprints Unique? · · Score: 3

    Puddin' Head Wilson was wrong. Bad Mark Twain!

  13. The real question is... on AOL 6.0 Client: We'll Be Your Home Page, Thanks · · Score: 1

    Is this an illegal way of pushing their own company, or is this just an inconvenience that 6.0 users will have to put up with? This could very well end in a Microsoftish manner.

  14. Re:Georgia Tech, also on Universities Refuse To Ban Napster · · Score: 1

    Refer to the front page of the Technique (the school newspaper for those not around here). They basically said that blocking Nappy was unfeasible and the students would figure out a way around it anyway. Also, it wasn't their place to do that, though if they were informed that a copyright violation was occuring, they'd crack down.

  15. If we can make our own caffeine... on Coffee's Caffeine-Producing Gene Isolated · · Score: 1

    Then what's the point? We'd get accustomed to levels of it in our blood stream and it wouldn't be as effective. Unless we make more. I can see it now. Instead of Blood Alcohol Content, we'll be measuring Blood Caffeine Content.
    Excuse me sir, can you walk this straight line while touching your nose?
    And do you think Coke and Pepsi will really let this happen? Unless they work it so that their drinks are the way the genes are spliced into our own, I don't think so.

  16. Re:DMCA on Are 'Server Emulators' Legal? · · Score: 2

    If your country is a subscriber to the Berne Convention of copyrights, no notice is needed...it is implicit. The US is a member of this convention, so they don't need to explicitly say it.

  17. Does this have anything to do with... on Baby Black Hole With Big Appetite · · Score: 1

    That experiment up in New England that could have possibly produced a black hole? Great...not only could they possibly create one, but it might be worse that we imagined it ;-)

  18. Did this have anything to do with... on 1.13GHz Pentium3 Processors Unstable? Answer:Yes · · Score: 1

    an error in a float operation? Nah...could never happen

  19. Joel Schumaker(sp?) on Neil Stephenson on Batman Beyond Project? · · Score: 1

    If Joel somehow gets involved, I think I'll go crazy. He singlehandedly drove the Batman movie franchise into the ground. Gotham is not a carnival!! Anyway, with someone else at the head, hopefully, this will bring back some quality to the name of Batman.

  20. So now all you need... on Fiberless Optical Networks · · Score: 1

    is a really big mirror. That'll teach 'em. But then isn't your datastream completely unguarded? You want to have some pretty good encrypt if anyone can just look at the laser and poof! There's all my data!

  21. Re:Yikes... on RIAA Reversal On 'Work For Hire' Legislation · · Score: 1

    If you had Henley and Crow on your ass you'd change your mind too I bet!

    If Crow was on my ass, I'd do whatever she asked.

    If Henley was on my ass...I'd be dead.

  22. Can't I buy it? on Abandonware And Copyright Laws · · Score: 1

    You know, I know I'd be willing to shell out a dollar or two for some of those old classics. Hell, a lot of companies are putting their old games out on free CDs for magazine promotions. There may not be a large market for this stuff out there, but it could definately get a bit of money and I'm sure customers would love to see companies do this. And also, as a progammer, if someone was getting joy out of a program I wrote that long ago, great! Chances are I don't have copywrite on it anyway. I'm sure that the companies would be much better served (from an economical viewpoint) by going after people who pirate modern software that can get the company around $50 now rather than some punk haX0r who's tossing around 1 meg of code from 1992. Just a couple of thoughts.

  23. Prices are so high! on States Sue Record Companies For Price Fixing · · Score: 2

    You mean someone's actually doing something about the fact that I have to pay $16 for a CD? How about doing something about the fact that the artist gets jack from my purchase. It's all about the middlemen getting fat. Why haven't the artists done something about this before? Both for themselves and their fans? Shows how we really rate in their opinions. Or spineless they are.

  24. 10 Days? on Court to FBI - Full Public Review Of Carnivore · · Score: 1

    I have yet to see a gov't agency pull anything together in 10 days, let alone a disclosure on one of their pet projects that they don't want anyone to know the details of. I'll believe it when I see it.

  25. So does this mean.... on USPS To Offer Free E-Mail · · Score: 4

    that my email will now me bent, broken, bruised and battered as well as 3 days late?

    Quick! Sign me up!
