  1. Re:Where do I sign up? on Cyberwarrior Shortage Threatens US Security · · Score: 1

    Surely you meant: "break into usajobs.gov and put an interview in the recruiters diary" ?

  2. Re:I'm a Member of the WISE Team on WISE Discovers 95 New Near-Earth Asteroids · · Score: 1

    If the mission results are going to be used by the numbers two and three in IT, perhaps they could be persuaded to fork out an hours worth of bonuses to sponsor the project?

  3. Re:My experience: on Best Browser For Using Complex Web Applications? · · Score: 1

    Really? You prefer to be forced to print on US Letter or A4, even when the closest shop selling that particular paper size is 5000 miles and an ocean away?

  4. Re:.nl? on China Drops In Domain Registrations From #2 To #4 · · Score: 1

    Probably partly because it's the oldest ccTLD. It also has a good standing for (local) business use, as it has been around and used in radio ads since the 80's.

  5. Re:I can see that on A Battle of Wits On the Net's Effect On the Mind · · Score: 1, Troll

    I can skim it 100 times and will still not have understood it
    Don't worry, it's probably just a symptom of a very common condition known as 'stupidity', most of my co-workers suffer from it.

  6. Re:It works in Safari... on Apple's HTML5 and Standards Gallery Not Standard · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If that were true you might have a point. But this is just Apple being the biggest company in IT. I checked the canvas pixel manipulation and the 360 deg demo on Linux x86_64 with firefox by faking a safari 4 user-agent string.
    I'd say Microsoft 2.0 is quite to the point.

    Unfortunately they don't want to realize that the biggest cost saver would be outsourcing the management levels.

  9. Re:Or could it be on Study Shows Standing Up To Bullies Is Good For You · · Score: 1

    You never realized that getting hurt was at least as frightening for the bully?
    You don't have to win the fight to make you an unattractive target.

  10. Re:How patently stupid. on Stem Cell Patent Halts Hospital's Collection · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I wonder who the company claimed as inventors on their patent application.
    Knowingly leaving out the real inventors will get them more than just a slap on the wrist...

    I don't get it.
    You mean they didn't reserve 80% of their symbols for porn or we don't?

  12. Re:this theory again on Ancient Comet Fragments Found In Antarctic Snow · · Score: 1

    The organic materials on the meteors came from earth Mark I.
    Sheesh, everybody knows that.

  13. Huge implications on Bio-Detector Scans For 3,000 Viruses and Bacteria · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The device may have huge implications in identifying agents released during biological and chemical attacks
    Yes, don't we all just hate those attacks we're suffering all the time. Finally the LLNL is spending money where it's really needed.

  14. Re:"Intangible products"? on Google Attorney Slams ACTA Copyright Treaty · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they simply disagree with your considering 'services' a tangible product?
    Check out the other wikipedia entry:
    GDP by sector agriculture: (1.2%), industry: (21.9%), services: (76.9%) (2009 est.)

  15. Re:Why choose Ubuntu? Why not something else? on Ubuntu Linux Claims 12,000 Cloud Deployments · · Score: 1

    I run CentOS on my servers and Ubuntu, Suse, and Fedora on workstations. I can get everything I need prepackaged on every system, it's just different defaults and themes as far as I can see.

    But what will end first; The 3.5" floppy or the "the end of floppy disks is nigh" stories?

  18. Re:Why choose Ubuntu? Why not something else? on Ubuntu Linux Claims 12,000 Cloud Deployments · · Score: 1

    Both Fedora and Ubuntu have convenient package managers and an active community. Other differences are mainly a matter of taste.

  19. Re:Why not the other way round? on Privacy Groups Want Feds To Investigate Targeted Ads · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Next you'll be wanting to decide who rules you. What are you? A liberal or something?
    Shut up and get back to consuming.

    This new name change will break thousands of studies which now references a fly does not exist.
    You should practice talking to people. Somehow humanity doesn't dump a core over a new word as easily as your electronic buddies.

  22. Re:Ok, really? on Microsoft Sues UK's Datel Over Controllers · · Score: 1

    Exactly; design patents are like blow-jobs, somewhere between a conversation and sex. But not necessarily exactly in the middle.

  23. Re:And 1/2... on Toyota Accelerator Data Skewed Toward Elderly · · Score: 1

    That's not strange: How would you notice a Toyota moving at full speed on the Autobahn? Slightly less sluggish than normal?

    Virus is probably fourth declension, and thus has a -us in the plural as well:
