  2. Re:Why dont they lock down Run and Runonce? on Spyware Becoming Worst Tech Support Problem · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because Winders has a fundamentally flawed security implementation. No, I won't defend that statment. Res loquitur ipsa.

    Schools in texas are ran by idiots.

  4. You know it is a shitty place in Florida... on Big Brother Will Be Watching You In Florida · · Score: 1

    When it is named after a shitty place in Jersey. Odds are they don't even know where Manalapan, NJ is but as with the rest of that hellhole state it is a dump. The irony is: most of Florida is nothing more than NJ mixed with Virginia in a subtropical climate. Screw 'em.

  5. As long as you stay on the roads... on Chernobyl Becomes Tourist Hot Spot · · Score: 2, Informative

    You are OK. Step off and the radiation goes up exponentially. Tarmac is good for more than driving I guess.

  7. Editing documents on OpenOffice.org, MS Office 2003 Compared, Evaluated · · Score: 1

    I do it all the time. My advisor is a big fan of "Track Changes..." in MSWord. Luckily this feature works OK in OOorg so I can get away with it. But you are correct when you say the PDF is better for docs that need not be edited. Just cut and MD5 on the PDF and send it to whoever. If they noodle with it, then you know.

  8. Bush and Press Conferences on Lip Sync Problems with New Digital Displays? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Shit, that explains why he looked like such an idiot the other night during his press conference. Now that I know about this liberal plot to use their foreign contributors (and godless union labor) to build TVs in order to corrupt his holy message, I'm going to vote for him! I can't imagine I could be duped like that! I always knew he was telling the truth about everything. I mean, him and Mel Gibson on the planet at the same time? It must be a sign from God. I'm going to sell this TV and get an American-made one -- uh wait -- can I do that?

  9. Heading off at the pass.... on Solar-Hydrogen Eco-House · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes, hydrogen is explosive. Yes, it can be used safely. No, there is no chance in a properly engineer application for hydrogen to make this house go BOOOM! like the Hindenburg. Give up, Dick Cheney is not paying attention.

    RTFA, follow the links. Are you still as excited? Is it time for your hyporcisy to kick in?

    Which has shit little to do with the network, nicht wahr? Do routers, switches, etc run that OS? No. Wait, maybe an engineer who developed the fiber optics used Windows 2000 to check his e-mail once! Yay! This proves superiority without a doubt!

  11. Know thy hypotheses.... on 'Einstein Probe' Delayed · · Score: 4, Informative

    The question remains is what happens if Frame Dragging isn't observed - will the experiment be wrong (in other words there's no point to it),

    Then you have a Type II error, methinks. It's not that you are wrong outright (like a Type I error. You've just missed the chance to reject the null hypothesis correctly was munged. Refine. Try again.

    This is bullshit. UTK has 130 buildings covered and is converting to full 802.11(bag) coverage in the summer, with a outdoor network to come real soon now. 1310 access points with over 8500 unique users. Hell, even the friggin Creamery on the Ag Campus has 4 APs. Bossy is fraggin' as I type. I imagine that all of the schools listed have bought some Intel product to qualify. We don't use their stuff so....

    House of Delegates bans detector-detector-detector-detector ... ad-infinitum

    RICHMOND, VA (AP) -- The House of Delegates has sent a bill to Gov. Warner making blocking RFID on cars illegal. They also appropriated $5 million to the State Police to equip trooper's cars with RFID blocker detectors and have set aside a portion of that money to buy RFID blocker detector-detector-detectors and made the posession of RFID blocker detector-detectors illegal. Any further detector-detectors will be made illegal barring a Commonwealth-wide brain explosion trying to understand it all. Virginia State Troopers are renowned as the Grey-Wheeled Wild Weasels because their cruisers resemble law-enforcement scale versions of electronic warfare airplanes used in Vietnam. The average cruiser has 4 alternators and 20 batteries used to power hundreds of radios, radars, VASCARs, remote rectal probes and other detection equipment, thus rendering the Old Dominion deserving of its nickname.

    Anyone retarded enough to name their kid in l3375p34k lacks the genes that would make higher learning a possibility anyhow.

    First, cool username.

    Second, I find this astounding as most RPGII coding was bangalored years ago. I can still see code comments like "Please to be updating this code in the very nearest future."

    Then don't post the story. It is no better than a couple of guys talking out their asses on a corner (Just like Slashdot, nicht wahr?), until it has hit a journal. Until then, who fucking cares.

    Whoa. Way to think^H^H^H^H^Hcut and paste for yourself, troll.

    Bottom line, we can do it because we have the power and the might. We don't need to play well with others, others need to play well with us.

    Which is why people in other parts of the world are voting with their money and not buying American. Much of the pro-Linux sentiment in this world is actually anti-Americanism channeled through the rejection of the symbol of Microsoft. "You will buy our shit product or you will do without." Whoops. Guess what? We poor dark skinned people you hate but need have an alternative! The same paradigm applies to everything from airplanes to food stuffs. Rule by power and might, economic coercion and jingosim all add up to one thing: Fascism. Who needs swastikas when you have Coca Cola, you tit.
