  1. Re:They brought back Clippy on MS Office For Android: Pretty, But Woefully Incomplete · · Score: 1

    @AC 12:27AM -- "Clippy, is that you?" 1995 called - they want their stale jokes back.

    ... I see your trying to write a "19xx called" joke, would you like me to:

    1) autocomplete "... they want their [x] back"

    2) finalize with "... and get off my lawn"

    3) go away?

  2. Re:Terminate contract instead? on When the NSA Shows Up At Your Internet Company · · Score: 1

    I can't remember who did it.... but someone did... maybe mega upload before they got scr#@%d. They set up a page stating that they had never recieved a gagged request (for any user), and that when they did they would remove that page. This was so as not to "tip off" a target of the order, but if you wanted to you could check if anyone (but no one in particular) on the service was under survalience.

    How does one authenticate their authenticity?

    When men with guns say it's authentic, it is.

    So what would stop me (or you) from pretending to be one and installing random hardware at an ISP?

    Yeah... Kinda' like how "nano" sounds suspiciously like "small".

    - burn your fingers

    - trip on the power cord

    - drop the printer on your big toe

    not yet, but it has been half way off the table and just about ready too... If it did I'd be more woried about the printer: I can print a replacement foot with my printer, but no matter how much I try my foot refuses to make me even the simplest printing press.

    I think the closest you'll find would be the rasberry Pi.

    why they don't keep up with [linux kernel] versions

    Keeping up to date with the mainline kernel would be expensive, and would gain you very little in the embedded market... people there want cheap and reliable and will give up features to get it... That's my impression anyway.

    ...instead of asking the hospital leadership everybody came to you for answers.

    If by "everybody" you actually mean "two students" then I'm sure interkin3tic would answer whatever questions he could and direct the questioners to the appropriate staff if he could not. The fact that there is (as far as i know) no appropriate staff at the NSA for people to be directed too speaks volumes about their culture.
