    When I read this, I thought the whole article was about Robot Frank!

  2. MODS ON CRACK on Linux + Sci-fi + Detroit = Penguicon3.0 · · Score: 1

    This would be a flamebait if I didn't have this.
    May God bless you.

    I guess Roma is the place to be these days: Our Generation's Gandhi is to be honoured for his numerous life's achievements which goes far beyond self advertising oneself on a materialistic website...

    Sometimes, benefiting from the source code as well allows you to optimize the way you will help the db internals to assimilate the data it receives from its interfaces.

    It's still a good idea as it allows third parties to write plugins and conduits more easily for it.

    Do you remember ThinkGeek's caffeinated meat loaf, a few April 1st ago ?

    I love the mod that took the above as a troll when it was basically a funny answer to the gp along with a decent comment in order to raise its value...

    What about SciAm, why did they have tro politize their joke that much ?
    It's April fools, not April jesters... humor is supposed not to be seriously take-able.

    Why couldn't they just increase the number in one go...
    Because otherwise you would not get there that often :)

    I didn't either but it kinda reminds me of this 3-time reoccurring "Evil bit" story from last year...

    the problem with these jokes is that unless these are totally stupid, theyll all eventually come to reality.
    That's why I enjoyed the GMAil story that much : Nobody believed it :-D

    ...but it's more a paperwork problem : Here, I had to wait for very long time before some stupid tasks finally got executed expectedly... Like a Java install in order to run a planned Tomcat service...

    Not really : I am a Mac user. I was just asking out of curiosity because it would be interesting to know if what-Microsoft-and-the-bsa-call-software-piracy is as serious in the corporate world as they say it is in the family world.

  15. Re:Free update ? on Microsoft Releases Windows Server 2003 SP1 · · Score: 1

    I meant activation, not download... like for Windows XPSP1 which required the w4r3z dudes not to use some stolen activation code...

    Does it still require an activation code of some kind or not ?

    IRL or when associated to proprietary services that'd support it a very specific way, like an MS service developed by people who could access its internals?

    You don't know what I am using. I just want to know if it's common practices to favor a client or not.
    Anyway, as the service is free as in beer, I would not even imply it could be illegal to do so... What would rather (but not quite definitively, especially if we see a search engine as a free sample of a software company catalog) be would be to explicitely ban other browsers to imitate the favoured browser.

  19. MSIE/MSN on Google Prefetching for Mozilla Browsers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Does somebody knows whether MSIE and MSN collaborate the same way?
    Anyway it could be obvious that Google tries to establishes such alliances against his main concurrent (besides Yahoo).

  22. Re:I'd sign the petition... on Private .US Registrations Disallowed by NTIA · · Score: 1

    The problem here is not that the site's owner is anonymous (except to the registrar).
    The problem here is that he commits illegal activities.
    That's why I consider this a shame : let people publish whatever they want "a priori" you can easily find and judge them after.
    The big issue, nowadays, is that people are judge not after what they DO, but after what they think or declare and it's not fair. We're living in a society which tends to aseptize any thoughts towards a global political model which will only disturb each and every individual.
    How could they learn tolerance that way ?
    They won't because they'll only see what happens to people who "think different".
    35 years ago, my father got goulag'ed fora fucking poetry book.
    Nowadays, he would have his country invaded and bombed to oblivion, including himself and whatever places he loved by people who'd declare they'd do it for his own sake, even though they do not know him, nor what he ever wrote.

  25. Carelessness ? on UCSB Student Engineers Grade Hack · · Score: 1

    No, I'm not sure the universities are that careless.
    They're also supposed to initiate the students to some very basical social behaviour and these don't include cheating and stealing identities.
    I'd suggest thy just eject the faulty students because they failed at being responsible grown ups.
