  1. Re:Nah, not scary on The Chimera Dilemma Manifested in Sheep · · Score: 0

    Have you ever been... kicked by a sheep ?

  2. Re:I don't understand on Code Reading: The Open Source Perspective · · Score: 0

    No. Your leet Russian was outsourced to Russia :-) And was buried somewhere in the countless layers of vodka labels and /insert your typical Russia stereotype here/

  3. Rated 'm' for michael-mode on GTK 2.6.0 Released · · Score: 0

    Looks like Michael is either in his not-so-funny-but-creative mood, or he's preparing to work for S&P (or F-rated-Fitch ? Or M-rated-Moody's ?)
    And, btw, can we have 'rated-xxx-for...' ?

  4. Re:Biased or not the space arms race begins on US Ready to put Weapons in Space · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well, actually in the beginning of the 80's , when Reagan's Star Wars initiative started to be discussed, Russian leading missile engineer offered even cheaper solution - load Progress cargo craft with a nuts and bolts and other small metal objects (Progress can take a few tons up there), put it in the high orbit and explode - in a few hours all orbiting gear will be pierced and perfectly malfunctioning.

  5. Re:15 bucks on Bootlegged Music in Russia · · Score: -1

    Yes, excellent resource, and I'm using it regularily. One of the best my investments - investment into the good mood without selling an ar or a leg .

  6. Re:So... on Disney Suggests Mandating DRM On All Media · · Score: -1

    And did you read this filing ?
    Quote:
    "extend that mechanism to all music distribution platforms, including ..."
    Note all music distribution platfoms, not all digital music distribution platforms.
    So, waxed cylinders and platters, punchcards, and, probably, even two tin cans and a string, must be DRM-ed

  7. Re:3-d people leave 2-d shadows on Spirit Rover Communications Error · · Score: -1

    Hi !
    Uh ? Your statement means their light source is 4D too.

  8. Re:Guns from Russia on Linux Conf 2004 Gives in Many Ways · · Score: -1

    Surely. It's winter now, lakes are frozen, and it's more or less easy to pass over the lake from
    Petrozavodsk to the Finnish side. Or to the Sweden, from the Sankt-Peterburg over the gulf.

    Buying guns is a different task, however. You'll need to bring lots of vodka and moderate amount of cash to some military base in Central Russia (or Far East), and two or three native thugs, then it will be relatively easy. Just watch your back - they could easily kill you, leaving you in the forest and grab your money.

  9. Re:If you want to know more about Mars on Fingers Crossed for Beagle · · Score: -1

    Mod parent up ? Definitely.

  10. Re:They Got Him! on Officials secretly RFID'd at Internet Summit · · Score: -1, Troll

    And what do they achieved ?
    I can clearly tell you, however, what your mass media achieved - they have successfully brainwashed an extremely large amount of the world's population.
    And sometimes I'm starting to wonder was it brainwashing or brainsurgery ?

  11. Re:Cool. on Officials secretly RFID'd at Internet Summit · · Score: -1

    Hah.
    Nonetheless, Clinton was nearly impeached for 'having a private life'.

  12. Re:Anonymous uzrs persecuted turned in to FBI tsar on Phoenix School to Install Face Scanners · · Score: -1

    Socializing ? Having fun ?
    Judging by the amount of anger and frustration in your comment, you were largely unsuccessfull in your attempts to socialize AND to have fun.
    Sorry dude. Try again.

  13. Re:It's a good fit on If Microsoft Built Cars... · · Score: -1

    Anonymous Coward ? Owning BMW 745i ?
    The world is really strange these days...

  14. Re:Oh here we go again... on If Microsoft Built Cars... · · Score: -1

    Yes. You are absolutely right.
    So what ? Feeling better ?
    STFU.

  15. Re:Let's get this out of the way on Phoenix's BIOS Roadmap · · Score: -1

    I would certainly type "brouhaha" in a few years as a reply to your post, but I'm afraid I will type it on an aged ThinkPad without the DRM. And using Windows again ? No, thx.

  16. Re:Thanks but no thanks Phoenix.. on Phoenix's BIOS Roadmap · · Score: -1

    Sorry, dude, you're wrong. Big OEM contracts, f.e. with Intel, are keeping them prosperous and healthy/wealthy. Seriously, I don't know what to buy next...

  17. Re:devfs on Linux Kernel 2.6.0-test10 Released · · Score: -1

    No. devfs is obsolete. use udev instead. Or stick with plain old big /dev.

  18. Re:Me too on Millions Delete ALL Music Files? · · Score: -1

    Good laugh ! Mod parent up !
    Seriously - can you at least handshake with another modem ? No compression, no EC - just a basic
    CONNECT 300/NONE
    ?

  19. Re:Lies, damned lies, and dumb polls... on Millions Delete ALL Music Files? · · Score: -1

    Hi !
    I've visited your site, and now I'm listening one of your songs - and, guess what - I somewhat like it. Two advices I could offer are - please could you provide full versions of you songs AND you need to do something with your singer. Maybe, it's something with his voice, maybe, he just can't get some pitches right... Other than that, very nice.
    Thanks.

  20. Re:Longhorn Linux Sub-system... on InformationWeek On Windows-Linux Interoperability · · Score: -1

    It certainly might. They already make a product called Microsoft SFU/Interix, which is a UNIX subsystem for Windows. Sorry,can't resist - SFU as in So Fucked Up ? :-)

  21. Re:Of all possible pr0st33z on the planet... on Mandrake Linux 9.2 Hits the Street · · Score: -1

    Grinch - is that you, green buddy ? Glad to see you alive and kickin'

  22. Re:fragmentation? on Frontiers: A New Xlib Compatible Window System · · Score: -1

    Easily. By replacing huge stream of primitives waiting to be rendered by the server with more high-level description (XML ? :-)) of _widgets_ waiting to be rendered by the server. Less composing in the client, lighter (and faster :-)toolkits, lots (LOTS) of other advantages.
    Think about it. The problem isn't zerocopy, problem is you have powerful engine, but you need 2000 pounds of additional gear to drive it properly - and this combo slows the car down.

  23. Re:Following their lead on Lawsuit Against Microsoft Over Insecure Software · · Score: -1

    This exploit is known from at least mid-August.
    Somewhere around mid-September it still wasn't patch-able. Enough is enough - our company switched to Mozilla Firebird.

  24. So, Linux client possibility ? on Half Life 2 Source Code Leaked · · Score: -1

    Heh, maybe, we could finally see for ourselves if it can be ported to Linux easily ..
    Or is it a secret plot from Valve to open-source HL2 without making shareholders/publishers angry ?

  25. Re:Dont' prepetuate myths. on End Of the Line for SpeakFreely: NATed to Death · · Score: -1

    Could you be so kind to provide more thorough explanation of some of your points ?
    Especially for internally-NATed cases (i.e. when ANAT is done on-site, and not by ISP) ?
    What do you mean by "full NAT, no security" ?
