    That'll be one of the fastest OS's on the market easily.

    I doubt that hand-coded assembly is going to be noticably different from compiler generated assembly. Compilers these day do a pretty good job of optimizing.

    But yes, compared to Winbloat, it will most probably zoom!

  3. Don't you have a Bill of Rights? on Former Intel Engineer Pleads Guilty To Taliban Aid · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The FOX article was pretty light on but I'm guessing your new Patriot Act helped hold him for so long. Somewhere else on /. a poster said that a judge signed off on holding him as a material witness. Surely you guys have a seperation of powers? Your judiciary decides who's guilty and innocent on the facts available. Why is a judge deciding whether or not a man can be held without charge? Seems like a rubber stamp to me.

    It seems like the executive is getting permission to do something from someone who does not have the power to give that permission. Yes, the legislature may have granted the judiciary the power but it does not fall under normal judicial powers, totally circumvents due process and, I would guess, would be unconstitutional.

    Well at least he's better of that the guys living in dog kennels at Guantanamo Bay.

    Um, I think we're all beginning to lose sight of the real issue here, which is "What are we going to call ourselves?" um, and I think it comes down to a choice between `The League Against Salivating Monsters' or my own personal preference, which is `The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society'. Um, one drawback with that... the abbreviation is `CLITORIS'.

    Many /. readers are already sick of hearing about other people having sex. Now our only refuge is mocking us, rubbing our face in it, cause even poems have sex! Am I not prettier than a poem? I guess not.

  9. Re:I apologize ahead of time, but.. on Australian Linux User Group Fights Back Against SCO · · Score: 1

    Yeah, this little Aussie went to an 'Outback' Stakehouse and almost pissed himself laughing. The menu has absolutely nothing to do with Australia. It's still basically the same old stakehouse (we don't even call them stakehouses) with Aussie names.

  10. Re:Fiscal year != calendar year on No Doom 3 This Year? · · Score: 1

    Here in Australia at least we start/end fiscal years mid calendar year so that by the time Christmas holidays come you've probably just finished your end of year reports.

  13. Latest news .... on Major Flaw Found In Cisco IOS Devices · · Score: 5, Funny

    While the army took time to celebrate the discover and safe return of Major Flaw it still maintained the need to continue the search for other missing top ranking officials. We spoke with a member of the search and recovery team soon after Major Flaw was discovered.

    "It is great to have found Major Flaw but we are still very worried about the others. Our job here is not finished." said Private Data.

    Colonel Panic has been spotted from time to time but the army has not yet been able to pinpoint his exact position. But the most gravest of fears are held for General Protection-Fault. Sightings of the General have been few and far between in the last few years. Some conspiracy theorists say that he is not actually missing but has disguised himself. Private Data would not confirm wether they are searching for a man of similar build to General Protection-Fault but dressed all in blue.

    Oh, what the hell, I'll take the karma hit.

    The PsyOps thing is a bunch of crap. It's not even directed at the civilians. Why do civilians need to surrender? They aren't fighting anyone!

    A long way? Compared to dropping atomic bombs on civilains yes but you just cause you've travelled a long way from that does not mean you've reached an ideal destination.

    Your bombing raids in Afghanistan killed more people than 911. You continued use of cluster bombing in Iraq has also killed innocent people. You still refuse to ban landmines and may have even used them in Iraq (you were at least planning to). Despite medical evidence suggesting that they may be harmful for years to come you have pumped both Afghanistan and Iraq full of depleted uranium. You've shot innocent protestors and taken out 'targets of oppotunity' (shoot first, ask later).

    Yeah, war is ugly. Would be nice to avoid it but there is no need to make it uglier.
