  1. Re:Heart attack waiting to happen on 15 Important Tech Concepts In 2006 · · Score: 1

    I'll bet the current generation don't need passwords. Aren't they modified through induction? I can just see the first new models not having it, and a giant scandal.

  2. Heart attack waiting to happen on 15 Important Tech Concepts In 2006 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Havent read the article.

    Is there security on that? You know someone will walk through a crowd with a portable transmitter, setting everyone's pacemaker to 'off'. Some people are just antisocial. (Me, I'm cynical)

  3. I disagree on Top 20 Geek Novels · · Score: 1

    but you don't appear to own a reb1100 (rocket ebook 1100). Once you do, you'll agree reading a machine is just as easy as reading a page, and easier in bed.

  4. I hate being dictated to on Why Do You Block Ads? · · Score: 1

    My habits have changed dramatically, especially since tv ads tipped more than 33% of time. 22 minutes of adds per hour. Bugger that. Rarely buy magazines anymore, websites often do it better. Watch tv on dvd instead of live. My schedule, my time. You don't get to dictate to me any more.

  5. So when my phone rings and i'm on the train... on London Tube Dangerous for Technophiles? · · Score: 1

    I just sit there and let it ring? My caller doesn't know I'm on the train.

  9. Re:Sigh. Just a half-witted rant, as I expected... on Why I Hate the Apache Web Server · · Score: 1
    I mean case-sensitivity is a problem?? Don't ever write a C or Java program or use a UNIX shell, buddy, you won't be able to cope. You should keep those training wheels on your bike.


    Read a little closer. He's complaining about one command being case sensitive.
  10. Why multilink is bad. on Multiple-Target Hyperlinks for the Masses · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Multilink allows bad sites to include bad links on their nominal 'good' links. Kinda hard not to click that link when its included as the second link on every one you click.

  11. its called cpuid & palladium on Another Stab at Laptop Security · · Score: 1

    and this is slashdot. we hate that stuff here.

  12. Re:I'm the pimpking for our product! on Perl's Chip Salzenberg Sued, Home Raided · · Score: 1

    Our finance department has afrog and an eeyore donkey. The frog is the f*ck up frog. When you f*ck up, you get the frog. The donkey says 'stop whining'. Picture an Ahnuld voice when saying that.

  13. Yes, "Settlers of Cataan" and "Carcassone"! on London Turned into Giant Board Game · · Score: 1

    Great games. Easy to learn, great replayability, chance and expertise. It's all good.

    Really, it's not.

  17. Oh, we did on U.S. Firms Take on Australia's CSIRO Over Patents · · Score: 1

    But John Howard seems to prefer Australians in general use chalk instead of lube.

    "I told you Smythe-Worthington, we should have installed conveyor belts on the hillside."

  19. Bush declares 'war on technologists' on U.S. Firms Take on Australia's CSIRO Over Patents · · Score: 3, Funny

    In further news, George W Bush declared war on technologists today, stating that 'for to long have we stood by and done nothing while Australians developed interesting telecommunications networks' and also that 'the whole point of this free trade agreement was to stick it to them, not have them stick it to us. John Howard promised me that wouldn't happen. He promised!'

    Dick Cheney, while stroking his missile launch codes briefcase, refused to comment. Rumsfeld barked like a dog.

    DARPA funded WolfPack technology is a soda can sized pod, deployed about 1 per sq. km, is designed to replace or supplement similar technologies that currently reside in aircraft. Because of proximity to enemy radios, less power is required to jam signals. Ad-hoc networking and multi-hop routing are used to control and retrieve data from the network, which can also monitor enemy communications in addition to jamming them. The pods are designed to last for about 2 months.


  23. There are articles on groklaw about it on LinuxWorld Editorial Machinations · · Score: 1

    here and here.

    This is the bad article[google cache] in question, and it's really quite horrifying that they allowed it to be published.

  24. Binary cgi on Red Hat/Apache Slower Than Windows Server 2003? · · Score: 1

    Some people still do - the ones that aren't working with open source, and want to sell a product without giving away their source code. There are also people who want to obfuscate their web code to protect their job. Hard to be indispensible when they can fire you and bring in a monkey to make minor layout changes after you did all the initial hard yards.
