  1. Re:My Grandfather's Advice on Navigating a Geek Marriage? · · Score: 1

    Your grandfather was Lazarus Long? Awesome.

  2. Re:All the more reason not to buy an ipod/phone on Apple DMCAs iPodHash Project · · Score: 3, Informative

    iPod + Rockbox can play vorbis/flac.

  3. Re:MacOSX has awful Java support on Why Developers Are Switching To Macs · · Score: 1

    1.6 is only available if you have a 64-bit Intel processor.

    I'm one of the unlucky few early adopters who has a 32-bit Intel in his MBP. :-(

  4. Re:what is the point? on Will W3C Accept DRM For Webfonts? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Untrue. BD+ hasn't been cracked, but it hasn't really been used yet. Most BDs still use the same DRM HD-DVD used. (I forget what it's called.)

  5. Re:It also comes with a host of problems on Level of IPv6 Usage Is Vanishingly Small · · Score: 1

    In an IPv6 network, most addresses will share a prefix which will probably be about half of the address.

    Also, MAC is only embedded (by default, too, not out of necessity) in link-local addresses. You don't need to use those.

  6. Re:What's the downside? on Level of IPv6 Usage Is Vanishingly Small · · Score: 1

    Firmware upgrades, dude. Seriously.

    Besides that: I have a Cisco router of a model that they stopped making in 2002. It supports IPv6. How the hell old is your equipment that it doesn't support IPv6, or more so that it can't do so with a firmware upgrade.

  7. Re:Should have gone to A.B.C.D.E.F.G format. on Level of IPv6 Usage Is Vanishingly Small · · Score: 5, Informative

    IPv4 addresses can be represented in IPv6 as 0::10.10.1.12 (Or as 0::FFFF:10.10.1.12 in some cases.)

    I don't see that using dots instead of colons makes a transition any easier.

  8. Re:...make lemonade. on Amazon Explains Why S3 Went Down · · Score: 1

    Or they could use TCP.

  9. Re:Alien on Raytheon Exoskeleton Brings "Iron Man" to Life · · Score: 1

    Try Starship Troopers.

  10. Re:Magneto Hydrodynamic... on DARPA Working On Arthur C. Clarke Weapon Idea · · Score: 1

    I wonder if the project to make it is called Project MAHEM.

  11. Re:Dune is rooted in Islamic Culture on New Dune Movie Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Seriously? Paul Atreides is called the Mahdi, for fuck's sake.

  12. Already happening? on Comcast Makes Nice with BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    I can't believe how perfect this was:

    (But, no, I'm not on Comcast. Still funny.)

  13. Re:if they ever try to send this invoice on Firefly Fans Fight Back Against Universal · · Score: 1

    If Universal knew about it beforehand and profitted, it can be considered a quasi-contract (quantum meruit, I believe is the latin term).

  14. Re:Do you even own one? on 16GB Flash USB Dongle · · Score: 1

    This comment sounds like someone who's very, very lucky.

    I have personally lost three of these drives, without anything like going through the wash. They sit in my pocket through most of the day. At some point, they just stop working. Three different manufacturers, even.

  15. Re:Too late? on ReactOS Reviewed in Depth · · Score: 1

    The reason Ubuntu doesn't come with MP3 support out of the box has nothing to do with preferring Ogg. It's a legal issue. If they wanted to distribute it in the US, they'd have to pay royalties for each copy of the decoder they sent out.

    This is, by the way, one of the biggost reasons Vorbis was created.

  16. Re:A Bold Positive Step on 'Games as Porn' Bill Passes Utah House · · Score: 1

    Where do you think we got the term "mosey"? :P

  17. Re:Why not give PEOPLE addresses? on How Things Will Change Under IPv6 · · Score: 1

    You mean like fe00::0?

  18. FP on Modern Humans, Neanderthals Shared Earth for 1,000 Years · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    May I have gotten a FP finally?

  19. Re:What if... on Google Releases Maps API for External Use · · Score: 1

    Let me try:

    Can anyone point out any triple or more dupes that don't reference each other except in updates.

    Basically, he wants to know if there have ever been any true dupes, such that they duped more than once.

  20. Re:Windows on Cell Workstations in 2005 · · Score: 1

    The end user does not want to recompile all their software. But .NET does it automatically, on the fly. The end user doesn't have to know.

  21. Re:Windows on Cell Workstations in 2005 · · Score: 1

    The problem is that all the applications (that we all consider part of the windows os but are really just applications running on top) would need to be redone.

    Now do .NET and the CLR make more sense?

  22. Re:Why Fight? on Language Tempest At Orkut · · Score: 1

    Except that's not what's happening. It's more like having a conversation amoung your friends at that table, and it's all in english, then a couple of Brazilians who happen to be in that group of friends start talking in Portuguese. It's still the same conversation, but you can no longer understand it.

    What's even worse is that orkut implemented a primary language setting for communities, but this is largely ignored.

  23. Re:The shit will hit the fan + Mirror on Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks · · Score: 1

    If they win, their fees are paid. Good, so what about the meantime? You still have to have the cash to begin with.

    This is an IIS 404 page? Could have fooled me.

    ASP.NET is a version of ASP for dot-NET. There are more ways than one to use dot-NET.
