  1. ZZ or :wq on Goodbye, Ctrl-S · · Score: 1

    That's how it always has been and always will be.

  2. Re:poor on Microsoft Unveils First New Company Logo In 25 Years · · Score: 1

    The FedEx logo is made from the classical Helvetica with some extreme between "E" and "x".

  3. Project Managment = Herding Cats on Project Management For Beginners? · · Score: 1

    A book I warmly recommend reading is

    Herding Cats: A Primer for Programmers Who Lead Programmers

    (http://www.amazon.com/Herding-Cats-Primer-Programmers-Lead/dp/B001ULCL1Y)

    IMHO the title says it all, it's funny and enlighten to read and gives a good introduction from the point of view of a programmer who slipt into PM. I especially enjoyed its categorization of programmers into different brands.

  4. Re:Remember when HTML had fonts? on Comic Sans, Font of Ill Will · · Score: 1

    That's why there is the CSS3 module Fons which presents a set of properties allowing font specification by a user agent, i.e., web browsers:

    http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-fonts/

    The specification is implemented by the upcoming Safari 4:

    Happy times for font lovers!

  5. Fast encryption, slow decryption on Fast File Encryption for Windows? · · Score: 2, Funny

    A fast and reliable way to encrypt a file is to sweep a strong magnet across your hard disc. Decryption of the files is more difficult and time comsuing, scientist are still working hard to find the final solution.

  6. Re:What's the minium then? on Moore's Law Staying Strong Through 30nm · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Come on, it's not that diffcult to learn, especially when it's explained by such a charming teacher:

    http://britneyspears.ac/lasers.htm/

  7. Possible Look of iPhone on iCell in the Works? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Isamu Sanada is an industial designer who designs fictious
    Apple products in his spare time:

    http://www.applele.com/index.html
    http://www.applele.com/pictures.html

    I personally favor this iPhone design:

    http://www.applele.com/pict_04hipod_r02.html

    Almost better than the real thing!

  8. Rendering engine on Nokia 770 Internet Tablet Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I'm curious: What kind of rendering engine is this thing using? KHTML, Gecko or Opera?

  9. Re:Act of God? on Earth Simulator Now Predicting Hurricanes? · · Score: 1

    You mean like god stepped down from heaven and stopped this m****fucking hurricanes?

  10. Breaking news: Phoenix renamed on European Shuttle Program Update · · Score: 3, Funny

    to ESAFirebird because of copyright infringement.

    (Next logical step these days: a joke including SCO)

  11. Apple Servers as a life style? on Apple Updates Xserve, Announces Xserve RAID · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I look at Apple Hardware primarily as a life style thing (nice look, eye-candy & anti-M$). The raw Hardware specs - especially the processors - are not that impressive.

    What I do not understand is why anybody is interested in having Apple servers. Afterall servers do not have to look good, they just have to be cheap and fast.

  12. SVG && Printing on SVG On the Rise · · Score: 4, Interesting

    As all graphics are vector based, SVG also has the potential to provide crystal clear, high resolution print-outs instead of the blurred GIFs (or PNG if anyone cares) we get to today.

  13. You forgot the escape key! on Typewriter Keyboard Conversion · · Score: 5, Funny

    Your wife will be stuck in vi forever.

  14. Hardware: on Understanding the Microprocessor · · Score: 1

    The part of the computer system that can be kicked.

    I really like that quote from 'Programming Embedded Systems in C and C++'.

  15. IRIX is great on A Look at IRIX 6.5.17 · · Score: 1

    but, looking the terminal of the first screenshot, KDE is better (and a whole lot cheaper :) )

  16. Re:Old = Secure? on Security Through Obsolescence · · Score: 1

    So, using this logic:

    Dead = Securest

    I've never heared anybody hacking into a Mark (http://www.computer50.org/mark1/mark1intro.html)
