  2. Re:cause not found... on Superconductors as Electrical Grid Surge Suppressors · · Score: 1

    Last night on the news they had power company reps on talking about how it was caused by a line outside of Cincinati, and how if certain stations didn't hold back the cascade, it would've hit the rest of the country.

    People are just quick to blame canada, it's probably the whole french fries and mayo thing.

  3. Re:Truth? on Warriors Of Freedom Prompted Rampage Attempt? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but so what?

    It's an RPG, not a "killer game". You don't pick up a sniper rifle and shoot at tourists, you raise soldiers out of humans, dwarfs, or elves.

  4. Re:the Linux kernel is no longer essential on RMS Cuts Through Some SCO FUD · · Score: 1

    No, but the GNU system can run using the FreeBSD kernel. Go take a look at Debian GNU/FreeBSD

  5. Re:First TRON now plan 9. on Plan9 is now Officially Open Source · · Score: 1

    But I've always enjoyed a rousing game of tic-tac-toe with my WOPR. Of course, that damn thermonuclear war program always ends up causing a catastrophy...

    You could probably enable MAC address filtering, too :-)

    The guy's last name was "nissan". Thanks for your ignorance.

  8. Re:DreamCatcher & the new Animatrix short on New Animatrix Trailer Available · · Score: 1

    I kept thinking, wouldn't it be great to have an entire movie with that animation quality?

    the final fantasy movie was, and it was really good, too...

  9. Re:bios? on BIOS' Days Are Numbered · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Umm. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. OEMs like to have startup screens that disguise the text mode stuff going on invisibly...

  10. *sigh* moderation, plz on Fortune on Rambus · · Score: 1

    this should be flamebait, i just dont feel like flaming today (got a new m505 =D)

  11. an ode to the perpetrator on The DDoS Attacks, One Year Later · · Score: 1

    methinks i have not yet been caught, all those lame dot-com startups have been taught, lame_ipo.com has met it's end, and buy_pet_puke.com will have to fend, for customers who will shell out their money, to buy a ton and a half canister of honey, alas the tale must come to an end, over my shoulder looms a teacher

  12. simple solution (even though a bit paranoid) on Cops Bust Starcraft Clan · · Score: 1

    Well, i don't have to worry about "the man" or "big brother" bustin' in and taking my stuff, i follow a few strict guidelines that this guy could've used.

    #1 - ALL (and i mean ALL) portable media should be kept in a fire-proof container, that has both a padlock and a built-in lock (different combos).
    #2 - The media case should be secured and put on a pressure-switch system that will sound a loud squeal that will make both humans and hehe, kanines scream/cry/bark/etc if they fsck w/ your stuff
    #3 - All your machines should be chained down and pressured locked to the same system as the media case, no exeptions, especially those external drives that always worry you when a room-mate has has a friend of theirs in.
    #4 - Complete security on all machines, bios passwords, and screensaver passwords. Those fingerprint thingies might be kewl (i don't use one, don't trust 'em, too many spy movies i've seen, but they do look kewl - hehe just for show, that is =)
    #5 - Shut down the machines when you leave, if you have to go to the can, log out. If it's a server, have a dummy login that just has the server processes running, even though the cops wouldn't be able to use linux, it would be kinda funny to see them try to use a blank desktop...haha... "Where's da windows ... errr .. sgt, do you know anything about computers??? Where's my doughnut???"
    #6 - Make sure to have plenty of spare keyboards and mice, as well as cat5 & phone cables, just in case they take the wires or i/o devices instead. God, it's so funny when they think that they have stopped you...
    #7 - Make sure to have either a really heavy monitor, or bolt it down. Cops may be brain dead, but they do still have strength from all those donut dunks and coffee cup curls =)

    just a note, be paranoid, nobody will mess with your sh*t if they see all this security. plus, it would be really funny to see what the cops would do if my alarm went off, aside from glass breaking and eardrums popping, i wonder if they'd "discharge their firearms", lol.

    another note, this guy's site sux. it looks like it was made by my little brother, maybe he deserves this from still playing starcraft and making crappy looking sites that look like they were made w/ frontpage or the homestead editor or any web based editor. It's really sad, and this guy didn't follow the simple paranoid geek procedure.

    Anyway, keep kewl, and moderators, this took me a while to come up w/ so take that into consideration when you rate this funny post....lol =)

  13. its all about the benjamins, baby on Telephone Wire Cable Alternative · · Score: 1

    well, how much is this going to cost??? and how long will it be until AOL takes this over and starts controling broadband as well...oy =(

  14. Re:Not a valid measure of importance. on Is Pluto A Planet? · · Score: 1

    i can,
    mercury, venus, earth, mars, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune, pluto, exept when neptune and pluto switch places, because their orbits cross paths, and pluto becomes closer... I happen to be an astronamy fan, but most people i know can probably name all the planets... if they can't they are gonna get a can of whoop-ass opened up on 'em... =)

  15. Re:OT? You decide. on Looking For Aliens In All the Wrong Places · · Score: 1

    LOL

    That's hysterical.
    hmm, but just think about it, if we are just 'meat' to them, what would they be to us?
    And who's to say that they aren't just 'meat' to some other race above them...

    We'll show them, let's make contact with their superiors and get 'em fired. It works when you get a bug in your quarter pounder, right???

  16. Wrong method??? on Looking For Aliens In All the Wrong Places · · Score: 1

    Well, why don't we just look for little green men on mars, we'd have a better chance of finding intelligent life there, anyway... And while we're on the subject, we need to search for other intelligent life, because there is none on this planet to speak of.....besides us geeks that is...=)

  18. Re:First of all...... on Amateur With Call-Sign Deflects Domain Challenge · · Score: 1

    the assumption is natural, i'm a mac user too, i'm also a un*x/linux user, and i don't appreciate such poorly made criticism... of course, it's a pretty safe assumption, and i doubt you're much of a mac user, anyway... you may use a mac, but you don't have much pride for the alternative OS lifestyle, so don't go around asking to get beaten over the head, because somebody eventually will...

  19. hmm, i got an idea... on Judge Says Port Scanning Is Legal · · Score: 1

    i would surely hope that nobody would make port scanning illeagal, because then theoretically you can consider walking by a dumbass friend's house to make sure he locked it illeagal in a sense too, thank god that he went w/ the people... ...now for my idea, let this guy hear the napster/mp3.com/scour(aww, too late, crap)/etc cases, i used to work holine servers back in the day, and helped get digital music into the mainstream w/ all my buds, and i don't want to see a simple file format get a bad rap and all. Of course, it's not like we are gonna stop if they take down napster/gnutella/cuteMX/etc... oh, and let 'em hear the deCSS case too, hehe =)
