  1. Virus Writers Don't Kill People on The Economics of Executing Virus Writers · · Score: 1

    You execute a murderer because they deserve a taste of their own medecine.

    Sure, virus writers might cause a lot of damage in economic terms, but that doesn't mean they deserve death...

    Perhaps we should execute those who deprive large numbers of people of food and a decent life. People who are forced to work 18-hour days to live and end up dying before they've even reached adulthood simply from exhaustion.

  2. 'Puters don't get tired on Humans Hold Off the Machines... For Now · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Kasparov was probably tired after 5 games, and perhaps was afraid of making a blunder. Deep Junior on the other hand would be playing just as well as in the first game.

    I think Kasparov should have continued and shown the machine who's boss :-)

    Good to see it was televised too - all good for getting more people into chess.

  3. Re:Contradiction in Review on Programming PHP · · Score: 1

    Good for newbies to PHP, not newbies to programming.

  4. Great Discovery on Delivering an Earth-Shattering Discovery? · · Score: 1

    If someone discovers how to deliver an Earth-shattering discovery, how will they deliver the discovery of delivering an Earth-shattering discovery? mmmm!?

    void deliverDiscovery(Discovery discovery)
    {
    deliverDiscovery(discovery);
    }

  5. White hats on Shattering Windows · · Score: 1

    it is about time the white hat community saw what is actually possible.

    I think the white hats have always known Windows is insecure. Maybe they all work for Microsoft :-)

  6. Re:OT: Jesus vs. the moneylenders on A Contrarian View of Open Source · · Score: 1

    There's no mystery here:

    Matt 21:13

    And He said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of thieves.' "

    Pretty clear why he threw them out :-)

  7. Re:Duh.. on F-22 Avionics Require Inflight Reboot · · Score: 4, Funny

    If it requires an inflight reboot, there's no doubt what OS it's running.

    FreeBSD support: Thanks for calling FreeBSD! How may we help you?
    Pilot: "Uhh.. I'm spiraling towards the earth, both my engines are out, and my display says 'Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode' in white text on a black background."
    FreeBSD Support: "And what is the system model?"
    Pilot: "The the F-22 jet.."
    FreeBSD support: No worries, just send us a full backtrace... you _did_ enable debugging information in your kernel didn't you?!
    Pilot: @#$*! FreeBSD! I'm switching to OpenBSD if I survive!
    FreeBSD support: RTFM!

  8. Gotta love OpenBSD on OpenBSD 3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Well done OpenBSD!

    Any of you who haven't already, give it a go and watch you don't get hooked :-)
