  1. which libraries? on Gigahertz Mac Finally SPEC'd · · Score: 1

    On the SPEC reports I've seen, they usually provide the list of compiler flags and libraries.

    I don't see that info here.

    Is it possible that unoptimized libraries like libm would hobble the Mac's results under OS X?

  2. OS X libm performance sucks on Macintosh Clustering · · Score: 0, Troll

    Has anyone that actually knows what they are doing tried to do serious number crunching under OS X?

    I'm extremely disappointed with the floating point performance on both my G4 and iBook...especially when using libm.

    If you're going to reply with some Photoshop benchmarks...I will laugh in your general direction.

  3. NI! on What is 'IT'? · · Score: 1

    Suffice to say; the one word we knights of ni cannon hear!

  4. Orson Wells ? WTF!! on Review: 'Titan A.E.' · · Score: 1

    And just what piece of sci-fi did Orson Wells write you sad sad little man? Or am I totally missing something, and Rosebud was some sort of starship?

  5. non executable stack on Libsafe: Protecting Critical Elements of Stacks · · Score: 1

    On Digital UNIX I believe it's possible to make the stack non-executable when a process is running as root.

    Can this be done in Linux?

  6. Re:Grounds for Netscape to sue ? on Backdoor In Microsoft Web Software? · · Score: 1

    I'd care to comment:

    I think you're part of the problem. Sue away.

  7. Re:Telnet is the only solution. on SSH v. SRP · · Score: 1

    The firewall is a separate issue. I think the original poster is talking about ssh port forwarding which is very handy indeed:

    ssh -L 1234:somehost.com:21 somehost.com tail -f /etc/motd

    then

    ftp localhost 1234

    Voila! Instant secure ftp connection to somehost.com. (passive only). This is a silly example, but it's very handy for Windows boxes that might not have scp.

  8. Didn't Elaine work for The Tick? on Live Action 'The Tick' Pilot · · Score: 1

    When I first heard Elaine's boss at J Peterman
    talk, I thought he was The Tick.

    Similar delivery. Maybe they should get him.

  9. Re:Is this really a good thing? on U.S. Army Developing Prototype Holodeck · · Score: 1

    Do you really believe your claim about health care in the US ?!?

    Real life: a family was turned away from an emergency room, given a bottle of liquid aspirin for their child's fever, and DIRECTIONS to another hospital as they didn't have insurance. Their child died on the 40+ mile trip. It happens with alarming frequency.

    Your statement about NATO is correct though.

  10. Freeshmeat on Sam Raimi to Direct Spiderman Film · · Score: 1

    Typos? Poor grammar? Nah, it's just that new hipster bee-bop lingo that's so popular these days.

    You darn kids, with your TV games, your fancy sneakers, and your Braun hand blenders.

  11. Re:Any GOOD Star Wars books out there? on Major Star Wars Character To Die in Next Books · · Score: 1

    Um, isn't this the one where Luke and Leia get hot and heavy together?

    Yikes!

  12. nitpick on SGI to layoff ~ 3000 employees, sees 2Q profit (UPDATED) · · Score: 1

    Nike and GM are hardly examples of companies in trouble. Apples and oranges.

  13. Holiday Special anyone? on Sellout: George Lucas in HypeSpace · · Score: 1

    C'mon people, you're supposed to ignore trolls, not feed 'em. Katz is nothing more, nothing less. Katz's job is just to stir things up by saying something outrageous in the hopes that someone, ANYONE will notice. As to the silly marketing being something new...WTF...Remember: the Star Wars Holiday Special was made in 1978. Actually, I think there was MORE marketing & hype back then. Christ, when the first one hit I went see Darth Vader at Thalheimers; a JC Penny type dept. store when I was 7. I still have a big photo of Darth Vader that says Thalheimers on it.

  14. Only $5K on credit cards!SIGH..those were the days on Why Work Sucks · · Score: 1

    Waaaaay of topic.
