  1. Re:Typical cock-sucking Yank attitude on Ultra Efficient Chip Cooling Passes Boeing Tests · · Score: 1

    Fuck you. If you're Brit ask your Mum and Grandmum who fed them during WWII and gave up thousands of lives and millions of dollars to do it. If you're on the continent ask who helped turn back two German dictators, fed Berlin with an airlift, and stood up against the Russians until they folded. Not to invade and take over, but to see to it that they didn't. Ask yourself who'd you expect to do it all again.

    So fuck you. It's none of your damn business if I run an airconditioner in the summer. You'd do the same if your cesspool had enough energy.

    Oh, Bite me. The US produces less noxious byproduct (gasses, heat, light) and consumes far less energy per unit output (food for the world as an example) than any other country on the planet. We may consume the most but we produce the most as well. BTW, try Global Thawing. Same results. The ice is melting on Mars' polar caps too. Did you do your part to save them today?

    enRole from Access360 does this and whole lot more. You can use it to provision every component of an employee's profile including all network, email, computer systems access. Individuals can make these changes in a trusted system or it can be left up to an admin.

    The pale gray babe in tight clothes is the one that I want to treat like a lollipop! A first I got all excited when I thought this posting was about the Far Side coming back.

  5. Re:Windows IS modular on Declawing Windows: Impossible? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    We don't need the source code to be competetive with M$ programs if we were to write (I don't) programs to run in Winblows Anything. Just the -REAL- API. I don't have a copy of M$ since WinNT4.0 - can anyone say that when you load the kernel all these componenets get loaded at the same time or are they still seperate executables? That would be the proof.

  6. A way to fight some SPAM on He Writes Back · · Score: 1

    I always reply to the whois.net listed admin's names of China based spam with my Keep Taiwan Democratic & Tibet Free newsletter. And thanks for joining in the Boycott the China Olypics too. Thank you very much.

  7. Re:a glorified email terminal on Microsoft's Ancient History w/ Unix · · Score: 1

    Yeah Xenix was bloated. I had the WHOLE enchilada on a 30 meg drive sharing space with DOS. Later SCO UNIX came along with X Windows and an emulator that ran MS Windows 3.x. It ran like a scalded dog on 4 meg of RAM and a shared 40 meg drive also running DOS and Windows 3.1. 20 developers and a communication app. The Xenix box cored one day, was rebooted and never went down again. The SCO UNIX box never stopped. If it didn't run well on your box it might be a personal problem.

    But with @home being shutdown that means about a million less spam mails per hour. That'll free up some bandwidth for sure.

  9. Re:Done it before on a TRS80 ModI on Generate AM Radio Broadcasts With Your Monitor · · Score: 1

    One of the hams in our group was an electronic engineer who scoped out the expansion port and took some specs for a similar interface and designed a board. The local hams etched PCBs and we built a CW/TTY terminal using some ASM code. Next we built up 2N2222 transistor switches and used them to trigger the local loop on the old mechanical teletypes and used these for printers. Crude, noisy, and slow but we had printers for about $1.00 worth of parts and some time inputing Z80 ASM code.
    Don't judge other folks abilities and accomplishments by your lack of same.

  10. Done it before on a TRS80 ModI on Generate AM Radio Broadcasts With Your Monitor · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Trash80 hackers did something like this about 1979 - 80. We also had hacked some hardware to the expansion port to read RTTY and CW. In order to prevent RFI we pulled the case apart and lined it with foil then grounded the whole thing to suppress the noise. The trick is not to broadcast a radio signal but to prevent it. A CB neighbor came over because a Made in China PC switching power supply was blocking out his rig through the power lines. I tried everything from ferrite beads to bypass caps on all the lines and never fixed it. Bought a PS made in Taiwan and never had a minutes trouble since. A lot of the electronic parts coming in from China do not have to meet the FCC part 97, class B rules, or whatever the correct ruling is. Another sweet deal cut by the Feds to favor Chinese goods over American or other countries.

  11. Re:A Topical Essay - Just propaganda. on Cybercrime Treaty Signed · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    This looked like a post until the part about the Supreme Court giving the election to Bush. Since this is plain propaganda and shows a complete lack of knowledge about the Electoral College, the rest of the post now becomes suspect. Just another rant from a Liberal who can't stand that a few states with large populations can't can't rule the rest of the country from a small geographical base. The exact purpose of the College process.

  12. .NET - Run away, Run away on Reverse Engineering .NET - Good, Bad or Inevitable? · · Score: 1

    According to what I have read, .NET open source is for the client side only. .NET servers will all be microsnot Win32/64... those heavy weight, massively scaled, bastions of security. Plus Bill's weasels and the Software Gestapo will be reading everything you own to see if there might be something they can use against you. I'd as soon have my eye sockets reamed by a hot poker than to every own another M$ product. Even if .NET is ported to FreeBSB or some Linux, I'll not use it. Ever. 100% M$ free at home and proud of it.

    You'll need all that speed, and memory too just to load the next release of WinBloz2K for home desktops. After the next round of bug fixes and patches, you'll use it just to get the damn box aware in about the same time it take Linux or a BSD to show prompt on a 66Mhz 486 with 32 meg o' RAM.
