  1. Cryptonomicon on New Boxes For Captain Crunch · · Score: 1
    This reminds me...

    After reading three pages of incredibly detailed narrative descriping Randy's Cap'n Crunch ritual, was anybody else waiting for the subject to pop up again?

    I mean, it was definitely a reference to Draper, and it sure seemed like foreshadowing, but it was never mentioned again.

    What's the deal with getting these subscription cards in a magazine that I'm already subscribing to?

    They're not intended for you. They are specifically designed to fall out (litter) in hopes that somebody else finds one.

    Here is a study on what the USPS will (and will not) ship. My favorite is the deer tibia: The clerk put on rubber gloves before handling the bone, inquired if our researcher were a "cultist," and commented that mail must be wrapped.

  9. Why will people continue to use FreeBSD? on Learn From Robert Watson Of FreeBSD And TrustedBSD · · Score: 1

    If they can't operate it (or administrate it), they simply won't. New users won't even try a system if they can't understand how to install it. A good solution to this is something like Max OS X -- you know, the BSD system that actually looks good.

    Sure, anyone can install WindowMaker on BSD, but they can't control the entire system seamlessly, like you can with Mac OS X, NT, or for that matter, the Red Hat control panel.

    Yes, I'm going to get flamed for this, but the fact is, FreeBSD needs to think about its future a little more competitively. Ever wonder how Linux, a much younger operating system, got so far so fast? You should see the graphical installation programs, which help you partition your drive, and then easily install the stuff you want.

    So, what do you think can be done to keep FreeBSD alive?

  17. How relevant is it to most of us? on MathML 2.0 Becomes W3C Proposed Recommendation · · Score: 1
    From the spec:

    MathML markup is not primarily intended for direct use by authors. While MathML is human-readable, which helps a lot in debugging it, in all but the simplest cases it is too verbose and error-prone for hand generation. Instead, it is anticipated that authors will use equation editors, conversion programs, and other specialized software tools to generate MathML.

    If they are up for a promotion against an equally skilled minority, of COURSE they should get the promotion, because they're automatically more skilled.

    That's just bullshit.

    Everybody who is up for a promotion against anybody else feels they should get the promotion. That's human nature. You really want something, so you 'believe' you're the one who deserves it.

    When you make sweeping generalizations like that, you come off sounding as ignorant as the racist fucks you are really pissed at.

    Nightmarish high school massacres like the one in Littleton are now an almost ritualistic part of American life.

    That's a crock of shit, and you know it. Do you ever wonder why your articles are such flame magnets?

    There have been no massacres like the one in Littleton! It is the benchmark by which all other incidents of school violence are measured.

    I'm beginning to think you like the fact that every article you post becomes a trollfest.
