  1. Horses... on The Truth Behind the Death of Linux On the Netbook · · Score: 2, Funny

    "If I say my horse is faster than yours, and you says yours is faster, and we let our horses race around the track, that establishes the point. But if you shoot my horse, that leaves questions in the air. Is your horse really faster? If so, why shoot my horse?'

    Because then my living horse is faster than your dead horse, obviously.

  2. The question is... on $1.9 Million Award In Thomas Case Raises Constitutional Questions · · Score: 1

    is "grossly excessive" in the set of "ridiculous" or "heavily exaggerated"...

  3. what would happen... on First Acoustic Black Hole Created · · Score: 2, Interesting

    we all know photon pairs are connected. an observation on changes the state of the other. (quantum entanglement) but what happens if one of a pair of photons enters a black hole and the other remains outside?

    does quantum entanglement still exist fo these photons? does the photon still exist inside the black hole or does it disintegrate or change state? if so: what would happen to the other photon outside?

    i call whatever will happen the Fuzzums effect ;)

  5. Sand in eyes on RIAA Wants To Bar Jammie From Making Objections · · Score: 1

    Since NewYorkCountryLawyer writes there is no ground for the motions of the RIAA, the question is why do they want to waste the defendant's time?
    Perhaps it's a distraction from something more serious that they don't want them to notice?

  10. Try this (or perhaps better not) on The Dangers of Being Really, Really Tired · · Score: 1

    After a good night of no sleep, get in a car to test your reflexes. Probably better have the Mythbusters test things like this.

  11. Re:Companion virus on Windows 7 Users Warned Over Filename Security Risk · · Score: 1

    Cool. I had a laptop to clean some time ago. It had tons of malware and one of them stoppen the taskmanager when it was running. Renaming it to 1337manager worked, but right now I use ProcExp. It's so much better.

    Aw. It looks like the good old days where people created a .com virus with the same name as a valid .exe file.

  16. Re:Researchers discover 'cloud' means multiple thi on Researchers Critique Today's Cloud Computing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I totally agree. If you host your servers in one datacenter (cloud) you chose that one and not an other one. And if that datacenter brakes down, you have a problem. Same with clouds.

    The article says a cloud works the same as a normal cloent-server application. On the otside that is true, but one dig difference is it should (if the application is desishould well) scale rather nicely.

    Example: There is a website that compares different ideas of different parties and with a couple of questions it tells you that party is the closest to your idead (that is nice when you have 20 parties to choose from in the upcoming EU elections) But such an application probably has high traffic probably 2 months every four years. Then you pump up the number of servers and after the elections you reduce to one or two again. No costs of buying hardware and all the stuff.

    Coming back to your point (and that of the paper): you pick one cloud to host your application and then why would you want to be able to communicate with different clouds???

    A few years ago I tried it. I created a spammotel account and created several unique addresses which I used to opt out on many sites.

    So far I haven't received any spam on those email addresses.

    It would be interesting to know where timothy opted out.

    Only a total annihilation of spam- and botnetbusiness is what we are looking for.

    We have seen how accurate missiles are nowadays. How hard can it be to do some target practice on a \/1@9r@ hosting datacenter?
