  1. Re:Over and Over and Over on Subdomains Part Of The Patent Frenzy · · Score: 1

    I had an email in a subdomain around '94.

    I might still even have the old business cards lying around somewhere.

    IT was: myaddress@host.division.bigcorp.com

    Note that names have been changed to protect the guilty company.

  2. Re:I, for one, would prefer... on The Age of Space Exploration · · Score: 1

    On Apollo 17 the Astronauts were able to walk around in locations much too rough for a rover to move.

    It's highly unlikely that an unmanned rover would have discovered the "fire beads" that Schmidt found in Shorty crater.

    Shouldn't that be Darl McBride - President SCO Group - Litigious Bastard?

    would be cool for mars to attempt a venus rover despite the obvious challenges

    Such as Earth blocking the view? Where's that Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator? Delays, delays!

    I do everything I can to purge Internet Exploder

    Don't you mean Insecure Exploder?

    Trust me. You don't want it to happen. In my daughter's case, it was like someone flipped a switch on her birthday. Used to be bright and cheerful, now she has the full teenage 'tude.

  13. Re:loyalty cards on RFID Coming 'Whether You Like It Or Not' · · Score: 1

    But I checked the box, and didn't fill out anything else. Of course, they can probably crosref with the ATM card or CC I use at checkout.

    Albertsons used to brag about it too... they were just waiting for an excuse to introduce them in SoCal, and the strike was the perfect excuse.

  15. Re:loyalty cards on RFID Coming 'Whether You Like It Or Not' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Happened in SoCal, too.

    Albertsons used the strike as an excuse in SoCal.

    I bitched to the checkout person (after the strike). They weren't happy either.

    I also picked the "I won't share". The (third party) lady giving out cards and applications asked me to fill out the rest. I pointed out that I had checked that box, and she said something to the effect of "Oh, I didn't know you could do that!"

    2.15 wouldn't load on a 286 with a Future Domain SCSI controller. We had to swap the SCSI controller and disk for ESDI.

    Well, as I recall, the Earth-Moon system is sometimes considered a double planet as well.

    Hell, even 'Planet 10' is a better name than Sedna!

    I don't know.... "Planet 10 from Outer Space" just doesn't quite scan...

  19. Re:$1 trillion can go very quickly... on Debunking the Trillion-Dollar Space Myth · · Score: 1

    First US space walk was also in 1965. Just a couple of months after the Soviets. We'd pretty much caught up to the Russians by then.

    In other words, the actual software that these laws protects is horrible stuff like RealOne and Quicktime.

    Or maybe good stuff like Samba? where the guys have to reverse engineer every little tweak to the SMB protocol.
