  1. Re:Utah record not valid on New Wi-Fi Distance Record Set In Utah · · Score: 0

    <i>They bounced the signal off Darl McBride's head</i><br>
    Shurely shome mishtake. For such a large percentage difference (13.9% based on a variance of 10 from a base on 72) it must have been Darl's penis that was bounced off. Just ask any Utah ho' for confirmation.<br>

  2. Re:So what's the forecast? on Linux To Power NWS's Storm Prediction System · · Score: 0

    ...a probability of detection score...
    Not even a probability of forecast score, eh? But very impressive they knew they didn't detect the other 75% of tornadoes they didn't know about...

  3. Re:Alternative? on L.A. County Bans Use Of "Master/Slave" Term · · Score: 0

    Drive / Son of Drive?

    I haven't got a son you insensitive clod.

  4. Re:Intelligent design fails to impress... on First Reproducing Artificial Virus Created · · Score: 0

    Given an astronomically long period of time, the astronomically unlikely will happen.

    Someone in a Slashdot article being involved in biological reproduction, for example.

  5. Presumably... on Microsoft Voice Command Almost Here · · Score: 0

    When non-MS Software is detected, you will be told:
    "I find your lack of faith disturbing."

  6. Re:I can hear SCO's next argument in my head on SCO Calls GPL Unenforceable, Void · · Score: 0

    Don't be silly, you can't eat children. They're just skin and bone really.
    Apart from the fat ones, of course.

  7. Smart casual? on 'Smart' Clothing: A Fashion Show · · Score: 0

    Just a thought...

  8. Re:write secure software? on Ballmer Touts Focus on Security · · Score: 0

    It may well be out of print, but I'm sure you can download a patch to bring older copies up to date.

  9. Re:I bet it's not Open Source... on Xen High-Performance x86 Virtualization Released · · Score: 0

    Correct. The 'Gates Public Licence' (TM). Well known to the DoJ and others.

    Mod -1: Flamebait

  10. I bet it's not Open Source... on Xen High-Performance x86 Virtualization Released · · Score: -1, Troll

    Considering as to who are doing the R&D.

  11. Re:Oh, fantastic. on The OpenBSD 3.4 Song: Theo Sings Back-up · · Score: 1

    My website doesn't claim to be thrusting forwards towards a Free Software Utopia (to be perfectly honest, it's not thrusting towards anything).

    Anyway, I'm English, so I don't know what fun is, you insensitive clod :-)

  12. Oh, fantastic. on The OpenBSD 3.4 Song: Theo Sings Back-up · · Score: 1

    This song is as much use to the cause of the Open Source community as a one-legged man in an arse kicking contest.

  13. Re:sitefinder can't find verisignsucks.com on VeriSign Sued Over SiteFinder Service · · Score: 1

    Interestingly, verisignsucksmyballs as well.

  14. Re:Windows ATMs on Windows ATMs by 2005 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and I've seen an NT Blue Screen on a pub quiz machine. That only cost me a few quid in potential winnings. Great to think of what it could screw me for on an ATM.

  15. Re:On-line petitions don't work on Verisign Typosquatter Explorer · · Score: 1

    Whether it 'works' or not, this type of protest can only assist in bringing pressure upon Verisign.

    Doing something, in this case, is at least better than doing nothing. This petition does not prevent those who wish to patch, block, fax, email, phone or otherwise engage Verisign from doing so.

    If you want to, and have the time, you can do all of the above :)

  16. Just a thought.... on SCO Prepares To Sue Linux End Users · · Score: 1

    What if every Linux user sends a snail-mail to SCO asking to be sued and demanding a respond by return of post. Hey, the postage alone would cripple them...they'd need a bigger fucking mailbox too.<br><br.Of course, I'd be appalled if this actually happened.<br>

  17. Misread on Debian Turning 10 · · Score: 1

    Debian Turning 10?

    At first I misread this article and thought I'd woken from a 250 year coma to find that Debian 10 ("Tapeworm") is now the stable release.

  18. Uptime on Worst Linux Annoyances? · · Score: 1

    Trying to get respectable uptime in an office with a crappy mains power supply and an old dodgy UPS.<br>

  19. Re:Contradictory on Consumer Database Company Hacked · · Score: 1

    I've tried preventing users on my network with legitimate access to information from having access to the information they're legitimately allowed access to.

    For some reason they don't seem to appreciate my efforts.

  21. Re:Finally on IBM Countersues SCO, And More! · · Score: 1

    I feel happier thinking that they haven't cashed in all their stock...

    He's actually referring to the other Sinclair. A recluse who is well known for having a brilliant mind set at 90 degrees to the rest of the universe.

    No relation whatsoever to the inventor, Sir Clive Sinclair, well known for having a brilliant mind set at 90 degrees to the rest of the universe.

  23. Re:Are they sure 4500 people are there? on Assembly '03 · · Score: 0

    Maybe they are already sleeping?

    But presumably, as this is a geek fest, not with each other.

  24. Re:Small companies too? on The Career Programmer · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Trust me, non-profit making sounds reall interesting until it's you that's not making the profit.

  25. Re:Frankly my dear on Novell To Cease NetWare Development? · · Score: 0

    What killed Netware, IMHO, was Netware 5.0 as anyone unfortunate enought to implement it could attest.
    Improved massively with 5.1 (it actually worked) but by that time a lot of confidence (and Sysadmins hair) was lost.

    Novell also lost their way with 6.0 in deciding to pretty much ditch the SME market...
