  1. Tired of crashes? on Eazel On The Ropes · · Score: 2

    Use Debian stable!!!

    And yes, Window Maker is a fine wm to use.

  2. Great, so only the rich will be able to afford it. on Why Not A Free Market In Privacy? · · Score: 2

    How is this different from the way things are now? I'll send in rebate forms, fill out sweepstakes entries, wtc. because I'm too poor to afford my geek lifestyle otherwise. On the other extreme, it takes a good deal of moolah to get a swiss bank account. The rich have privacy and the poor don't. End of story.

  3. Re:PDAs helping memory (more added) on Are Computers Stealing Your Memory? · · Score: 2

    The things that I do pass off completely on the palm are cd track lists, directory contents, and rarely-used phone numbers, none of which I would store in my brain otherwise. If a person starts to use the palm to keep track of their friends' numbers, or of the locations of their weekly classes, then I might start to worry about their memory -- but otherwise, it's a boon not to have to remember trivia -- who thinks we should give up DNS service so that people will have to develop better memory for dotted quads?

  4. PDAs helping memory on Are Computers Stealing Your Memory? · · Score: 2

    Contrary to the article, I use my palm for storing short poems I want to memorize or formulae I need to review before a closed-notes, no-calculator test. I find that having the information with me absolutly everywhere allows me to effectively use my otherwise wasted time.

    dude, Homer wrote the Iliad. Illiad writes some lame-ass tech support cartoon.

  6. Re:Which do you suppose will finish first... on MS and the DOJ Return to the Ring · · Score: 1

    Rumor has it you can see a lot more of David Boies if you follow alt.binaries.pictures.nude.lawyers.

  7. Re:Hm (offtopic) on MS and the DOJ Return to the Ring · · Score: 1

    From the Realdoll FAQ: Question: What if I don't fit with RealDoll's sex parts?
    REALDOLL's vaginal and anal cavities are made snug to accommodate any
    insertion. The silicone flesh is soft, slippery, and very elastic. Any
    petroleum or water-based lubricants can be applied to ease entry.
    REALDOLL's oral cavity contains soft silicone tongue and teeth. The
    oral cavity is as snug as the doll's other entries. All of REALDOLL's
    cavities allow deep insertions.

    Oh, now I get it!
    Thanks, you've made this muddied pond oh so clear... and I thought it was a problem with the flux capacitance of the alloys used -- silly me!

    dolt.

  10. Re:NYT: Username / password on Digital Movies and The Big Screen · · Score: 1

    what the hell sort of browser do you use that makes you type :wq to enter info in a text box? even if you're cut-pasting from vi, you don't need to save and quit, silly.

  11. Re:Congratulations! on New Baby in the Torvalds Home · · Score: 1

    Wait, which one of us is lame?

    Seriously, though, every lil' kid should have a garden gnome! That one was so cute too - I'd love to find the owner of that pic (some Willamette student apparently) and ask where to find the statuette in question. Anybody want to donate to the Gnome For Celeste Fund? I'll accept paypal!

  12. Congratulations! on New Baby in the Torvalds Home · · Score: 1

    I'd like to give that baby a Gnome!

  14. My school was so bad on Voices From The Hellmouth Revisited: Part Three · · Score: 1

    This guy was the headmaster!

  15. Re:Museums on The Last Multics System Decommissioned · · Score: 1

    My favorite gallery of obsolete machines is The Archive of No-Longer-Existant Computer Hardware. They feature hardware able to handle what was once considered a formidable load, but which has been retired after being stretched beyond its limits.

  16. Re:DON'T CLICK on Pentium III 1.13Ghz: The Real Story · · Score: 1
    Or worse, even when it looks legit - other hosts to beware were listed here. You might want to alias them to 127.0.0.1 in your /etc/hosts file. Some story on ads had a way to do this for NT, too. I'll reprint the list here because the referenced link is at zero and won't be archived.

    Sorry, trolls, cranky today.

  18. No Darwinian pressures? Bah! on The Regulon · · Score: 1

    What does he mean that modern press has no Darwinian pressures? If they can grab more readers they can sell more ads, and if they can sell more ads they can advertise themselves elsewhere, buy better content, and grab even more readers. The media entities that don't have anything to say will be ignored and eventually die off when their founder's interest wanes.
