    yeah, the aliens have to coverup the experiments involved castrating cows. It was so humiliating.

  3. Scripting language for StarOffice! on Sun To Give StarOffice Java Flavor · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sun's StarOffice division intends to make Java a scripting language for StarOffice

    Great, let's call it Javascript.

  4. Java scripting language? on Sun To Give StarOffice Java Flavor · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Sun's StarOffice division intends to make Java a scripting language for StarOffice,...

    A word processor running scripting language? Doesn't that sound so familiar to everyone?

    which will help customers take advantage of Java's security features. Java's security model works by limiting the areas of the computer the code can manipulate.

    Fortunately, smart people can learn from mistakes of the other and built it with security in mind from the ground up.

    but it doesn't stop the creative minds of programmers.....

    ?The Initiative for Organ Choice"?

  6. String Theory? on Relativity Finally Meets Quantum Theory? · · Score: 1

    String theory has been the predominant contender....whereas strings are fine for describing matter, they do not explain the space in which they wiggle.

    Of course, that's why we have Super String Theory and now M-Theory

    String theory a predominant contender? Where have she been all these years?

    I wanted to compare her 'forked' String Theory but I yet to find more papers from her...hmm...

  10. Re:Why "My"? on "Longhorn" Alpha Preview · · Score: 1

    Would anyone really be worse off if Microsoft took the "my" off of "My Computer", "My Documents", etc? I already *know* that they're mine! Do people really like their computers to talk down to them like that?

    You are one of the ignorant mass who failed to recognize the 'My' refers to Bill, not you. :)

    These guys are cheating! They used Wire-frame hack so as to see thru the obstacles to take advantages of others!

  16. Re:I just did this recently on Antique Distros? · · Score: 2

    Slink is no longer support by Debian team. He can try potato distro of Debian. It can run on 2.0.x which works fine in 486.

  17. Re:Everyone misses on Who Will Benefit From Hyper-Threading? · · Score: 1

    Use Linux. It has SMT(HT) support. I met 'mjc' of #gentoo in irc.freenode.net. He has 4-way Xeon each with SMT, results in virtual 8-way processors. :)

  18. Re:Developers on Who Will Benefit From Hyper-Threading? · · Score: 2

    The optimization is transparent to application developers, but it takes extra effort in compiler to compile the source optimized for a particular architecture, like HT.

    I like to use this simplest example in lecture. Pentium(I) has two pipelines U-pipe and V-pipe. They're fed in instructions sequentially. Therefore, it'd be better if we could arrange the code during compilation time in such a way that an execution of an instruction does not depend on the result of the previous one.

    I'm not sure what it takes to optimize compiled code to take advantage of HT, but I'm sure it can be done.

    That's an EXCELLENT idea you know what, my licenses to use MS products are valid as long as I eat at McBill everyday. :)

  21. That's bad on Microsoft on Security: We'll Break Your Apps · · Score: 2

    for them, but they wouldn't listen. My boss has no love on any OS, but he just hate it when MS sales call him from time to time "Windows XX is about to be desupported on XXYY, would you like us to perform a system audit for your company, for free?"

    We're pretty sure we don't want to run mission critical systems on anything that has only 3 years maintenance period.

  22. Re:Life of Brian jumps to mind... on Microsoft on Security: We'll Break Your Apps · · Score: 2

    I think he missed the point, and may be you too. We piss at MS not only for the faulty design from the ground up, but their lazy attitude toward fixing bugs and exploits until real threat is coming.

    Nobody, even Linus himself, said that Linux was designed perfectly from the ground up, but its development model makes it perfect over time, in time.

    Everyone in cryptography field knows David Chaum. He has published many important papers on digital cash and he has hold many important patents in this area.

    David Chaum might is also right person to answer the original question "where is my digital cash?" because he's the founder of DigiCash. XD
