  1. Oh yes, they have to breed them on Hypo-Allergenic Cats Now Available for Pre-Order · · Score: 1

    And that takes time. Got Milk?

  2. Re:does it come with an MP3 player? on Hypo-Allergenic Cats Now Available for Pre-Order · · Score: 1

    Are you sure that you want all your music to sound like it came from a cat's bum?

  3. Re:This cat is also Zero-G approved! on Hypo-Allergenic Cats Now Available for Pre-Order · · Score: 1

    If they had proper zero-G rather than the cheap 90 second version, they should have released the cat and a bunch of mice. Then put the Blue Danube on the stereo. Then watch--but no eating chips!

  4. Re:This cat is also Zero-G approved! on Hypo-Allergenic Cats Now Available for Pre-Order · · Score: 1

    Strap a slice of buttered bread to its back and then you'll see some spinning!

  5. Re:Finally, a dog I can love on Hypo-Allergenic Cats Now Available for Pre-Order · · Score: 1

    One day you'll be killed in the blast when it finally explodes.

  6. Re:How long... on DDoS Extortion Attempts On the Rise · · Score: 1

    It might give new meaning to Flash Mobs.

  7. Re:IP Spoof Filtering... on DDoS Extortion Attempts On the Rise · · Score: 1
    They might. I've wondered if a persistant zombie port-scanner is using asymetric routing to spray packets out from zombies and catch only the responses at other IP addresses. That way (a) they don't expose the IPs of zombie machines, (b) the "bullet-proof" spoofed addresses don't have as much traffic. Maybe not.

    One port scan claimed to be coming from 10.163.112.154. I don't think so.

  8. Re:what about VBX (ok OCX, fine DLL) on Gambas 1.0 Release Candidate Available · · Score: 1
    Creating VBX/ActiveX components for VB (and others) is a good market for small companies and single developers. If you needed a little widget to do something, you could probably find someone either selling it cheap or giving it away (and selling the source cheap).

    Of course, the idea that developers might make money from developing might seem odd to some.

  9. Re:Kylix on Gambas 1.0 Release Candidate Available · · Score: 1

    You forgot BASIC, which trumps them both for goofy laughs.

  10. Re:I was hoping... on Battle Roomba Tractor · · Score: 2, Funny

    Would you follow a leader called Vacuous Prime?

  11. Re:I know how it ends!!! on Doom Movie in Production For Aug 2005 Release · · Score: 1

    But just before he does that, he says to the bad guy, he says "All your base are belong to ME!"

  12. Re:The REAL question is... on Doom Movie in Production For Aug 2005 Release · · Score: 1

    I usually went with the Monty Python sounds and the Energizer Bunny.

  13. Imperial Earth by Arthur C. Clarke on Titan's Alien Thunder · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of a bit where Duncan, living on Titan, connects to a random microphone out on the surface and hears a strange sound. (Which he files on his PDA minisec and then forgets what he filed it under.)

  14. Re:Boinc has a diffrent view on Jef Raskin On The Mac · · Score: 1

    But your application was still a crunching problem. He's always been oriented towards human-centric tasks like writing a letter. Adding a complex OS, vastly more powerful processor, more memory, etc, hasn't made that any easier. (And the endlessly growing feature lists of apps have probably made it harder.)

  15. Re:Ripping off goes both ways on Jef Raskin On The Mac · · Score: 1

    A Microsoft Z80 card.

  16. Re:Christ, they didn't do a very good job... on Beware 'Fedora-Redhat' Fake Security Alert · · Score: 1

    The Mcrosoft "security updates" aren't very good either, but it's amazing how many I get from boxes where the people said yes.

  17. Re:Just one question on San Fran Mayor Declares Wireless for All · · Score: 1
    Call me paranoid but I don't trust internet access provided by the government.

    Would you trust internet access provided by Starbucks?

  18. Re:Food Source on Green Plants for Mars Mission · · Score: 1
    Bring along Magical Trevor and they can eat cow. And beans, lots of beans, lots of beans, lots of beans, saw beans, lots of beans, yeah yeah.

    Or maybe skip the beans--That would not be a very magical trip.

  19. Re:Spam spam spam spam! on Green Plants for Mars Mission · · Score: 2, Funny

    Everyone knows that, in space, revenge is a good meal. And serving it cold will save on power consumption too!

  20. Re:Is this necessarily a good thing? on San Fran Mayor Declares Wireless for All · · Score: 5, Interesting
    What kind of access controls will there be? Can any kind of abuser (spam, DDoS, port-scan, trojaned zombie, etc) keep connecting if (ever) disconnected? Will they block some ports like 25? What if someone sucks down most of the bandwidth in the neighbourhood? Can I run servers with dynamic DNS? Who do I report a DDoS from SF space to?

    If they don't manage it, the rest of the Internet might just throw the San Francisco wireless IP range into a "blackhole at the firewall" list in self-defence. And if SF taxpayers can't connect to anyone, who do they call at "SanFran Tech Support" to complain?

  21. Just one question on San Fran Mayor Declares Wireless for All · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How many spammers live in San Francisco? How many will move there?

  22. Re:Warm? on Keeping Computers (And People) Warm In Winter? · · Score: 2, Funny

    We need a Heat Transfer Protocol for the Internet to allow transfering it around. Probably HTP/IP because you wouldn't want to accept HTP datagrams from just anyone. In any event, in case of DDoS attack, a high capacity firewall would be a good idea.

  23. Re:Spam is not the issue on Spamford Wallace Draws A Restraining Order · · Score: 1
    There are even keystroke logger programs.
    Suspicions were raised a month ago when the school noticed unusually high levels of traffic on the computer network. Security specialists from Sun Microsystems were called in to investigate the problem and found spying software, known as a keystroke logger, had been running on the machine since March 25.
    Now, if it had been a Windows box and a team of MCSEs, many people would have just assumed that it was infested anyway (from the extra traffic).

    Yeah, you wouldn't want to upset him by telling him his flight to the Cannes Film Festival has been redirected.

    So what, I'm watching them. ;)

    Besides, Shatnerology would have been on-topic, troll.
