  1. Don't be so literal on VeriSign CEO on Commercializing the Internet · · Score: 1

    Phrases like "public trust" usually just mean getting the damn thing built and established in the first place. Once that is done and it matures letting it become commercialized is fine.

  2. Re:IANADCE on VeriSign CEO on Commercializing the Internet · · Score: 1

    If just one wire, or cord, or router, or switch or subnet or group or whatever connects the two, the two become one.

  3. Re:All this animosity as revenge for SiteFinder? on VeriSign CEO on Commercializing the Internet · · Score: 1

    Do you have the ability to fund the maintanence and development of the root server system? Oh you don't? So what you have to say about who runs what doesn't really matter now does it?

    Damn Slashbots always wanting something for free......grumble grumble.

  4. Re:Java "failed"?? on Sun Posts Increasing Loss · · Score: 1

    Sun isn't a charity. Java has brought Sun very little money. Thats why its failed.

  5. Re:It makes sense. on Verisign Gets Out of the Registrar Biz, Keeps .com Registry · · Score: 1

    The overwhelming majority of the internet is the web and chat rooms. Everything else is tertiary or quarternary at best.

  6. Incredible on PC World: Apple G5 Gets Trounced By Athlon 64 · · Score: 1

    Must be nice to live in a world where people can pick and choose increasingly scarce tech jobs according to which company does and does not allow you to use *NIX on production machines.

    To hell with maturity, *NIX or bust!

  7. Re:The brain-dead do the rest of us a favor... on Women Live Longer Because Men Are Dumb · · Score: 1

    The fact that you can't find anything wrong with all of those statements is a perfect example why the environmentalists have become more and more fringe instead of mainstream and are counter-productive to their own goals.

  8. Re:The brain-dead do the rest of us a favor... on Women Live Longer Because Men Are Dumb · · Score: 1

    Although this is something I would never do, you COULD simply remove any and all televisions from your home.

  9. Re:Don't use Linux on The FSF, Linux's Hit Men · · Score: 1

    You can use GPL software to develop your product internally. Just never tell anyone outside the company.

  10. Re:MOD PARENT AS HIGH AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE on PHBs Getting "Secret" IT Training · · Score: 1

    There are politics anywhere there's more than one person. In the academic or research environment you'll have to either achieve tenure or be awarded grants.

    You can't do that by being a social misfit.

  11. Re:MOD PARENT AS HIGH AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE on PHBs Getting "Secret" IT Training · · Score: 1

    The problem is your kind of attitude is self defeating. IT is all about support and service. You support and service an infrastructure and a customer base. If you are not able to relate with others well your role will be marginalized and eventually outsourced.

    Whether you get to keep your job is up to you.

  12. Re:This is prime PHB material, but... on PHBs Getting "Secret" IT Training · · Score: 1

    What exactly is so hard about driving an automatic? You turn the ignition, point the car in the direction you want it to go and put your foot on the gas pedal. Whats so hard about that?

  13. Re:That's nothing on PHBs Getting "Secret" IT Training · · Score: 1

    Actually the reason why US Computer Programmers suffer unemployment is because they were horribly and obscenely over priced and over valued to begin with.

    A correction of salaries and expectations has occured. Your just one of the last to find out.

  14. Listen here cockface on Andy Grove Speaks out on Offshore Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    The shareholders own the company. The fact that such a poster was allowed to be posted in the workplace suggests they were either asleep at the wheel or didn't care. But make no mistake, if you don't own something then you can't put the people who DO own it last. Thats just plain retarded.

    If you want to put customers and employees first thats fine. Just found your own business and do it with your own money.

  15. Re:citizen worker power on Andy Grove Speaks out on Offshore Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    American hasn't ever supported itself? With the exception of Oil what is it we actually NEED instead of prefer to get from other countries?

    Its not food. We make enough of that for ourselves.
    Its not chips, we just like to pay other countries to make them for less.
    What exactly do we not make ourselves that we really NEED to continue functioning as a nation?

  16. Re:Global worker rights on Andy Grove Speaks out on Offshore Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter if Western wages fall as long as the prices of goods fall even faster. And they are.

  17. Nothing New on Can You Sue Over Loss of Personal Information? · · Score: 1

    I accidentally paid two of my bills one month without signing the checks. They were processed anyway.

  18. Purists on Microsoft Wins Browser War, Abandons 'Innovation' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    According to the purists, some effete board such as the W3C sets the standards instead of the market leader Microsoft Corporation (who really sets the standards).

  19. Re:Face reality on Man Vs Machine In Chess - Who Is Winning? · · Score: 1

    Farming is a bad sector to work in because of oversupply, over capacity and hyper productivity. Today the US only has about 3% of its population in agriculture. Why would a profession that needs so few people yet still requires such hard backbreaking work be desireable?

  20. Scott, Scott, Scott... on Mad Hatter Preview - Sun Java Desktop System Demo · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    ....when are ya gonna learn that if anyone is going to dethrone Microsofts OVERWHELMING desktop suite dominance it sure as hell isn't going to be any half-assed product from Sun?

  21. I have no problem with this. on Vancouver Bars Network Together to Track Patrons · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Why is it so hard of a concept to grasp that people should be responsible for their own actions and suffer the consequences of their own bad decisions?

    If you boss is paying you money to do your job, then maybe you should DO YOUR JOB instead of spending 35 hours in a bar when your project is already 2 weeks behind schedule. Likewise if you can't pay your rent, you ARE scum. Nuff said. Why should you be allowed to possibly not pay your bill somewhere else?

  22. I don't see a problem with it. on Vancouver Bars Network Together to Track Patrons · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Why should a parent who drinks too much have custody of his/her children? Why should someone who is reckless with their life get low insurance rates? Why should someone who is irresponsible be eligible for good jobs?

    Sarcasm is a crutch used by the insecure.

    I've been using them for about two years now. I have two accounts that are checked from my PDA and one of those is shared with my Mac.

    SoftHome.net isn't going anywhere. They have tiered pricing plans and the lowest level is free.
