  1. Oh no, no need to worry at all... on Some Nuke Plants Still Have Y2K Bugs · · Score: 1

    For some real-world data on nukes, computers, and Y2K, deja Peach Bottom (Nuke power plant in PA). Short is, they ran a Y2K compliance test on an off-line system and ended up losing (due to some 3 Stooges stuff) all real-time control data. Pretty funny/scary, IMHO.

  2. Re:The Crypto in Cryptonomicon on Salon Interview with Neal Stephenson · · Score: 1

    ( Mumbling around foot ) This is an artifact of using Perl in a micros~1 environment; the -s works fine in a real OS. ( Slinks back to lurker's corner... )

    ## of doing addition for encryption, and subtraction for decryption).

    add-->> $d = shift if $ARGV[0] =~ /\-d/; ## end add

    $f = $d ? -1 : 1;

  4. YES!!! on Grafitti Causes Paralysis? · · Score: 1

    This is the best I've seen here in the last 6 months, less Katz' Hellmouth series. Way to go!

  5. Re:Crashed my Palm III -- danger on Alternative to Graffiti Input? · · Score: 1

    No problems here; Palm III (3.02), Hackmaster (Fitaly, ClearHack, LightHack, SwatchHack, GoType). Seems like a pretty good thing to me; I'd spend $ for it.

  6. Hey nitwit on Federally enforced HTML compliance · · Score: 1

    You might want to spend just a minute and check out Opera and information on their web site re:compliance with standards.
