  1. Re:There must be more SG than ST by now..... on Third Stargate TV Series Named · · Score: 2, Funny

    Even stranger, all those BC planets in various galaxies have the same pseudo-medieval village.

  2. Re:Moo on Third Stargate TV Series Named · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually, the Multiversal Council figures that we owe on the Asgard's bar tab. (Those little guys drink like crazy and it wasn't cloning gone wrong that killed them--it was a million years of time-shifted hangovers sent to the future that were finally catching up with them.)

  3. Re:Why? on Third Stargate TV Series Named · · Score: 1

    And with the exception of one episode in the last two seasons, the show has taken itself way to seriously.
    And that would be the 200th "trip through the Stargate", right? They did have some fun with that.
  4. Re:Simple on Open Office - What's the Downside? · · Score: 1

    After every install or upgrade of MS Office, I go through and clean out all the dreck like that. Not just MS--Apple Quicktime, Adobe Reader and even frigging print driver/apps usually need cleanups too. Anything that won't let me configure it not to load extra junk will get manually yanked out of the startup and its junk executable renamed/deleted if need be. If it still won't play nice, the whole package gets uninstalled.

    That's a non-negotiable.

    Until the court establishes its jurisdiction in the case, what defendant?

  6. Re:Obvious on Killer NIC K1 and Custom BitTorrent Client Tested · · Score: 1

    Nice processor. (MPC8343E) I should see if one of my associates can handle a Bit Torrent client. (Less powerful Cirrus EP9302, but stand-alone. And yes, IRL.)

  7. Obvious on Killer NIC K1 and Custom BitTorrent Client Tested · · Score: 5, Funny

    The NIC has its own processor, will run a Bit Torrent client and save to its own USB drive.

    But will it run Linux?

  9. Re:How did Spamhaus lose? on Spammer That Sued Spamhaus Now Sued for Spamming · · Score: 1

    they could have spent the $10,000 or so to have the suit tossed out on jurisdictional grounds.
    Do you think the spammers would have stopped with one case then? They're spammers.

    If they had, Spamhaus would likely have been able to get costs and/or sanctions
    Spammers are also experienced at setting up corporate shells with no assets to collect. Spamhaus could probably eventually blow through that cheesy firewalling, but after how much in legal costs?

    Before any evidence is heard, the plaintiff has to establish the court's jurisdiction. How did this case pass that?

    The first thing a court does in each case is establish that it has jurisdiction. At that time, the judge had the option of rejecting the case on the legal principle of "What, are you nuts?" (It sounds much better in Latin.)

    For some reason, TFA has a rogue space in the link to the spammer's press release

    "The court's ruling today is an important step in defending the rights of legitimate marketers," said Dave Linhardt, e360's President and Founder. "Amazingly, Spamhaus continues to believe it can operate above the laws of the United States. Based on Mr. Linford's refusal to comply with the permanent injuction, it is my opinion that Spamhaus is nothing more than a vigilante, cyber terrorist orgainzation with a dangerous God complex."
    Heh.

  16. Re:Scientology strikes again??? on Archive.org Sued By Colorado Woman · · Score: 1

    She seems to be more of one of their "enemy of my enemy is useful and disposable" types in Scientology/CCHR's ranting hate-on towards anything connected with those eeevil psychs, rather than an actual Scientologist.

    Still, there are those who think that netkook Barbara Schwarz was some kind of weird CoS op against the FOIA system. If so, this might be some weird op against Wayback... *shrug*

  18. Re:Meanwhile beneath the surface of Mars... on NASA's Instrument For Detecting Life On Mars · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No one could have dreamed we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few xen even considered the possibility of life on other planets and yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this Mars with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us.
