  1. We need to Harmonize the US on EU Says No To Software Patents · · Score: 1

    I believe it is time the United States harmonized its patent laws with the European Union. This will foster more trade and have an economic benefit for both sides.

    Buwahahahhahahhahahh!

  2. If they would stop killing p2p apps! on Little Interest In Next-Gen Internet · · Score: 1

    p2p would be SOOOOO much easier with IPv6 because there is no need for NAT, but since there is so much resistance to p2p it can't be used as an impetus to move to IPv6.

    Hopefully, VoIP and VCoIP will catch fire and providers will realize that its much easier to provide these services without every user using NAT.

    He was a contractor. He was gone before COB.

  4. True story on Write Down Your Passwords · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm a SysAdmin and at one place I worked, I noticed someone had written 'aaaaa' on their monitor. They wern't at their desk at the time, so I sat down, hit ctrl-alt-del and typed 'aaaaa' into the password field...

  5. Re:is this the breakthrough? Maybe on Motorola Debuts Nano-Emissive Flat Screen · · Score: 1

    All of the other costs associated with HD are issues of competition and market size.

    These issues will fall like dominoes when $400 HDTVs are released.

    Cheap screens = more users = larger market = more players who want a piece = more competition = lower prices.

  6. It is coming to pass... on Metafor: Translating Natural Language to Code · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Make it possible for programmers to write programs in English, and you will find that programmers can not write in English."

  7. Mouse Cursor? on New Photovoltaics Made with Titanium Foil · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Does it come with a mouse cursor, or is that sold seperatly?

  8. Attempt no landings there? on ESA and NASA Consider Joint Mission To Europa · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You guys are missing the point... We receive the warning *after* we attempt to land there with an automated probe.

    I, for one, welcome our new chlorophyll overlords.

  9. Re:No Noose on U.S. Justice Dept. Chooses Corel over Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Poster has this right. It means "by law", it is similar to "de facto", which is "by fact".

    I am also aware of this fact. WordPerfect embraced the legal community very early on, and made it easy to generate pleading papers in WP. Since there is a lot of inertia, it is hard to switch.

    Many courts insist electronic copies are submitted in WordPerfect format.

  10. How Linux can kill Windows... on Dvorak on How Microsoft Can Kill Linux · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Get a number of large Fortune 500 companies to commit to switching to Linux. Then hardware and software developers will say, "Hmmm... If I want to sell into these companies, I have to support Linux."

  11. Re:Read it backwards... on The Know-It-All · · Score: 1

    Bingo!

  12. ...and in an unrelated story... on Take Two Lands Exclusive MLB Deal · · Score: 1

    EA annouces and agreement, in priciple, to purchase Take Two Interactive...

  13. Read it backwards... on The Know-It-All · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I had this problem too. A friend of mine, who attended journalism school, advised me to proofread a paper backwards to find errors. That way, you do not get caught up in the flow of the writing, and miss the errors.

  14. Re:Short circuit on Possible uses for Power over Ethernet · · Score: 3, Informative

    Actually, the company who only wired two pair can get PoE for switches that provide PoE, but not external injectors. There are two standards for power, if the power is injected off the switch it uses dedicated pairs, if it is injected on the switch it uses the data pairs (phantom power).

  15. Re:School House Rock on Classic Toys For Christmas? · · Score: 1

    Do you have the Preable to the US Constitution memorized? Can you say it without singing it?

  16. Re:Lawn Darts on Classic Toys For Christmas? · · Score: 2, Funny

    From IMDb:

    [Ralphie is seeing Santa, only he can't remember what he wanted]
    Santa Claus: How about a nice football?

    Ralphie as Adult: Football? Football? What's a football? With unconscious will my voice squeaked out 'football'.

    Santa Claus: Okay, get him out of here.

    Ralphie as Adult: A football? Oh no, what was I doing? Wake up, Stupid! Wake up!

    Ralphie: [Is shoved down the slide, but he stops himself and climbs back up] No! No! I want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!

    Santa Claus: You'll shoot your eye out, kid.

  17. PDF link? on USAF Studies Teleportation · · Score: 1

    Please, please, PLEASE, warn us that links go to PDFs!

  18. HP or Dell? on Toshiba Recalls Notebook RAM · · Score: 1

    Link about Dell goes to a story about HP...

  19. Re:Why use Water?!? on Considering Watercooling Your PC? · · Score: 1

    At $240 per liter, I'd say no.

  20. Yea, but... on Windows Upgrade, FAA Error Cause LAX Shutdown · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That information had been filtered at least three times, can't count on that either...

    Software analyst -> LA Times reporter -> TechWorld reporter.

    Helicopter pilot's blood completely coagulates in seconds...

  22. Re:Where's Alviso? on Where's Alviso? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes, TiVo is there. Smelly as hell, but cool... You can see what happens to a harbor when you stop dredging it. Alviso has a an undredged harbor.

  23. Re:The Emphasis Should be on Security Issues Not P on P2P Leaks Surprises · · Score: 1

    Actually, you are not supposed to connect a classified computer to a network with non-classified computers let alone the Internet. If he found classified material on P2P, the guy who shared it is in a whole heap of trouble.

  24. This is not good news... on UN Takes Aim At Spam Epidemic · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Email savvy people can't come up with a palatable solution. Most non-tech savvy have solutions that throw the baby out with the bathwater.

    I imagine the great minds who make up the UN will support the idea that generates the most money for the lobbists of thier supporting country. So it looks like we are going to get a sender-pays-Microsoft or sender-pays-Verisign antispam solution.

  25. Shouda used the Wok... on 4km WiFi Range w/ $5 DIY Antenna · · Score: 4, Funny

    If he is getting that kind of gain from the scooper, imagine if he used the wok...
