  1. Re:I can think of a few rea$on$ on Time Warner Cable: No Consumer Demand For Gigabit Internet · · Score: 3, Funny

    The article goes on to quote her: '...residential customers have thus far shown little interest in TWC's top internet tiers. "A very small fraction of our customer base" ultimately choose those options.'"

    Um, yeah - that's because it's waaaaaaaay overpriced.

    I think $20 more per month is a fair price for any extra 1mb, and with the top tier at 35mb its faster than any consumer will ever need! I love my triple lock-in play!

  5. Re:Very true, for many reasons. on System Admins Should Know How To Code · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't code a lick after 15 years of sysadmin. I do solve incredibly interesting problems with hardware and that ability alone provides a serious interface to all those 'needs software' perspectives. All of my best friends are coders, we just solve problems differently.

    Brilliant, you can now make boatloads more claiming rights than those properties could ever earn.

  7. Re:Let's Just Hope They Leave Well Enough Alone on Dice Buys Geeknet's Media Business, Including Slashdot, In $20M Deal · · Score: 0

    All too often, "standards" means pushing positive "stories" about advertisers, censoring any content from the public that might offend said advertisers, and generally turning your site into a boring shitfest that no traditional /. user would be caught dead on if Peter Jackson himself came down from geek heaven and offered them them a prop sword from LotR and a handjob in exchange for staying.

    Hi crazyj, I think you are totally correct about this. I also found my job through /. and you can see our latest postings online at dice.com. Thanks!

  9. Re:Clouseau: The case is solv-ed on Open Compute Developing Wider Rack Standard · · Score: 1

    If I understood that correctly, it is not only a matter of putting the power suply outside, but also of making your heat dissipators wider, and space things better inside the servers.

    external power plus common sense? Okay I'll bite. Please describe the miracle achievement.

  10. Re:Defense on University of Pittsburgh Deluged With Internet Bomb Threats · · Score: 5, Insightful

    True, if you get supercrafty its going to be hard to track you. But if you are supercrafty 250 times, you are going to leave the unmistakeable trail of your own demise. Its just fine if you want to play with your exgf, but the feds got money, power, and nasty fking claws.

    Wait, tuCloud? Take a dumbass name like tuCows and add your own noun at the end? First, spend $1,000 on a real name, then beat up tuMicrosoft.

    Really, find a victim. No one was injured and voting is pointless anyway. At least that's what I would tell my attorney to say.

    And right at the beginning of public awareness of the internet age meant that people were panicking and incredibly misinformed.

    Oh wait.. this is an open source community that understood what his intentions where and didn't have a knee jerk reaction. What I guess intelligence trumps mass panic and ignorance.

    Incorrect assumption. Although there is a passive, appreciate communiy behind such an effort, you will see a joint effort by Italian, European and American authorities to eliminate this violation. Start with international wire fraud, malicious intent to harm, and move down the list to sopa-like attrocities such as violating terms of a website and you've got life in prison. Give them 5 more years of legislation and we'll have Texas-style hangings for these incredibly threatening comical hackers.

    I heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life is harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world. Doctor says,"Treatment is simple. The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says,"But doctor... I am Pagliacci." Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

  25. Re:Core count obsession on Asus Transformer Drops Quad-core In Favor of Dual-core · · Score: 1

    Everybody knows more cores = more bitches. Nobody wants to be 'that single (core) guy' who is forever alone at the bar.

    Not all cores are coreated equal.
    I have a single socket, single upper layer core, which combines the power of 128 microprocs in an 8 core assembly for a whopping 1024 hidden 1mhz cores - almost 1 Ghz of raw power!
    # of cores ftw!
