  5. As Robin Williams said: on Low-Hanging Moon Explained · · Score: 5, Funny

    The moon, like a testicle, hangs low in the night sky.

    There goes the karma.

  6. Let's look long term here. on D&D Blamed For Stabbing Deaths · · Score: 1

    Stabbing deaths have seen a sharp decline over the last 500 years or so; therefore I suggest that we blame "Howitzer" for the increase in those killed by explosions.

  7. Why is the article datelined 8/9/04? on VoIP Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    Did I miss something here? John Ashcroft isn't the AG anymore either. Not that this isn't odious, but uhm what's new?

  8. I all ready did, but not because of the iPod on Forbes Predicts 5% Desktop Share for Apple in 2005 · · Score: 1

    I started running an OS X network, so I figured I better get a machine capable of running it;)

    These are things an insanely rich gamer should by /me/. I'll buy him the same tie I got him last year.

  11. Illegal to discriminate against SCO employees? on SCO's Finances, Legal Case Take Hits · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is it legal to look at a guy/gals resume, see that they worked for SCO after the 'suits started and exclude them from consideration for hire for that reason alone?

    OT I know, but just wondering.

  12. That's Beautiful. on Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales Responds · · Score: 5, Insightful
    It is my intention to get a copy of Wikipedia to every single person on the planet in their own language. It is my intention that free textbooks from our wikibooks project will be used to revolutionize education in developing countries by radically cutting the cost of content...

    Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing.


    Good luck and godspeed. That last sentence brings a tear to my eye. This what I thought the Internet would be about before the bubble. I may just start to believe again.
  13. Clive Cussler... on Ship-Sinking Monster Waves Revealed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Used a rogue wave in one of his stories (they all run together not sure which one). It's also a leading theory behind the disapearance of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

    True, but I was more of the mind just to buy the code after all the office furniture and computers had been sold off;)

  17. A fund to buy SCO's "IP" on OSRM Declares Linux Free of Copyright Violations · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Let's start a fund to buy SCO's "intellectual property" when all this litigation eventually drives them into bancruptcy.

    The OS community playing IP vulture doesn't seem like too bad an idea. SCO does have some code that could be bought and GPL'ed, and the company isn't gonna be worth much a year from now. Let's pool.

    Email the money to me for now;)

  18. Re: Gambling? on WTO Wants USA to Gamble Online · · Score: 1

    That's simply incorrect. Here's a list of casino's in the US. I count 18 states with casino's of some type, and I know the list is either outdated or incomplete as there are casino's in Illinois in the Quad Cities, East Peoria, Joliet and just across the river in Clinton, IA.

  21. Re:Windows Longhorn on Nominations for 2003 Vaporware Awards · · Score: 5, Insightful

    2009 is listed as "an outside chance" from some Gartner analyst. 50% 2006, 40% 2007 and an outside chance of 08-09. Not to defend M$, but Gartner Group doesn't make their release schedule.

  22. Re:use correct mount options on Preventing Shutdown on Active NFS Servers? · · Score: 1, Redundant

    The parent has the correct answer.

    rw,hard,nointr

    Those are the correct options for a read-write NFS drive that will freeze the clients until the server has been restarted. After restart the clients continue as if nothing has happened.

  23. Fighting oppression on North Korea Introduces 'Secure' E-mail · · Score: 5, Insightful

    From the article: "It remains illegal for any South Koreans to email their northern neighbors without government permission. "

    So South Korea is fighting the oppression and censorship of the North with oppression and censorship?

  24. Re:Forget filtering... on Utah Cities To Provide High-Speed Net Access · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the info.

    IANAL either, but did have to deal with this many years ago when I setup a POP inside a school. We had to cover every conceivable cost that the school could possibly incur so as to not violate someone's interpretation of the no-compete law. Of course we were paying in trade (free T1 service for the LAN, free dial-up for the teachers), so everytime someone came up with another cost we should be covering, we raised the "value" of the service we were providing until we had a contract where everything was balanced at $0.

  25. Forget filtering... on Utah Cities To Provide High-Speed Net Access · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Forget filtering... any decent lawyer would be able to make a constitutional case out of that Utah or anyway else.

    Now what would scare me with government run ISPs is their complete compliance with the rest of the government (i.e. the judiciary). Is Utah's state run ISP going to fight subpeona's of their users traffic records? Of course not! The government and media are all ready so far under the covers together that handing one control of the pipe while the other controls the content is a Bad Idea. If you thought the broadcast flag was bad, wait till they set the evil bit on the state run routers.

    Just curious, but I know that my state (IL) has "no compete" laws that basically say that the government cannot compete in established industries. e.g. They can't open a donut shop because that would hurt Krispy Kreme's business. Do other states have similar laws?
