  1. Re:What's next? Patent on "Arrays that self grow"? on LSI Patents the Doubly-Linked List · · Score: 1

    Your right about the owner, but I think it is the memory management function you describe... all of it

  2. No need to wait for netcraft... on Ballmer Says Linux "Infringes Our Intellectual Property" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    SuSE is dead.

  3. Re:Whole albums? Are you kidding me? on Some Bands Still Refuse Music Downloads · · Score: 1

    Funny should say that. I agree with you completely btw. I even have the urge to listen to some Wall songs on their own see, or is that illegal too or something?

  4. Re:I can just see it now on Another Pass at the Personal Jetpack · · Score: 1

    Funny you say this, mythbuster (yeah yeah, I know, Im a geek) said the main problem with jet packs would be the "no alternative" problem. Jet Pack fails? Certain death.
    But how about parachutes? 200 pound brainiac, 100 jetpack + parachute, or is just the first 100 meters orso that the chute wont work?
    I want a jet pack!

  5. Re:Wrong dystopia on Has Orwell's '1984' Come 22 Years Later? · · Score: 1

    So.. instead of trying to control people for power... they are trying to control people for money... for power. Is that it?

  6. Re:Why aren't you running a dedicated controller.. on RAID Problems With Intel Core 2? · · Score: 1

    Because hardware controllers add a failure point.
    If your not going for ultimate disk performance, and your cpu isnt overly burdened, the use of software raid is sensible.

  7. Re:It isn't needed. on The Pornographers vs. The Pirates · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Why hasn't porn gone bust"

    Because people who buy porn dont tell you. But the amount of money spend on online porn is huge. Its a matter of ease of use, and the instant "gratification" (scuse the pun), and online downloads/streams WILL sell.
    Regular content industrie is just, uhm, backwards really.

  8. May work.. on EMI Launches Advertising-Supported P2P Service · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "download in Qtrax's proprietary ".mpq" file format"

    err. no it wont.

  9. Re:All aboard. on CATO Institute Releases Paper Criticizing DMCA · · Score: 1

    Libertarians are like anarchists+money.

    They just havent figgured out yet that money is a powertool too.

  10. Re:Far from "brutal" on Ubuntu, Macintosh and Windows XP · · Score: 2, Funny

    "As a result, his analysis comes out confused and unfocused."
    Must be that new "confuse them" journalism.

  12. This article on The Secret Cause of Flame Wars · · Score: 1

    Is more sarcastic than I care for, foo! shame! flame!

  13. Re:Picture perfect on U.S. Plan To Fight The Internet Revealed · · Score: 1

    No no,

    for the record he is saying: "There is all youre base, and there is all our base, and there is bases that are neither yours or ours, and these are the bases we know of, there are also bases we dont know of that are ours, and there are also bases that are yours that we do not know of."

  14. I Didnt read the article but.. on Who is Your Hero, Gates or Jobs? · · Score: 1

    I dont care how many money Gates gives.
    He stole it from ME first.

  15. Both on Training - A Company or a Worker's Responsibility? · · Score: 1

    And 25 years go by in the world of Office automation, things have changed.
    While it was routine for MS DOS 3.0 admins, to get trained in OS/2, VMS or heck, MS Windows, and I was even offered courses on MS Word (I declined that one) such practices are just not needed anymore. I havent met a single office worker who didnt know how to "File - save", or pick up some similar tasks within a week in a long time. I havent met an IT worker who didnt have a basic knowladge about hardware, OS, apps, and little things like ACl's and security principles.
    Now, we can go to another week (or five..) training to get the hang of Yet Another Incarnation of MS WIndows, every freaking 3 or 4 years, but well.. Im bored by them!
    Just give me a stack of self tutor kits, leave some room for reading and fiddling at work, expect me to get a exam every two months, which I expect my employer to pay, and Im good to go.
    The amount of private time I need to spend is pretty minimal, say a few hours each week, and an hour a day each day in the exam week.
    I score nearly perfect each time, and I think its fair.
    And I still dont need no stinking word courses.

  16. So did Jim Carry on Trauma Pill Might Help Ease Emotional Pain · · Score: 3, Informative

    "The eternal sunshine of a spotless mind" seems very truthfull all of a sudden. Good film too.

  17. Boot XP on a mac? on Intel Macs May Boot Windows XP After All · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I dont want that. Who does?
    Thats like asking the ferarri dealer; "yeah, but will my Lada engine fit this here automobile?"
    I just wonder what will happen when PC's are suffiently similar to Mac's so to boot osX from em.

  18. Re:does anyone else find it fascinating... on USPTO Unable to Find Top Ten Patent Holders · · Score: 1

    "the nation's greatest inventor, in my mind, would be the inventor that has most positively impacted society at large with their inventions,"

    That would be the guy that invented telivision. You know, the guy noone remembers, because a large corp (RCA) fucked him over as another guy (who couldnt even get a picture at first, but was hired by RCA) HELD the patent.

    They would be wrong, even IF they did it your way.

  19. email? email? on Linux Desktop Email Key to Success · · Score: 1

    haven't these people heard of -GMail-? Sjees, savages.

  20. I say.. on IT Workers Worst Dressed Employees · · Score: 1

    lets declare jeans and a tee the new suit.

  21. Oh this is classic on SCO Demands Linux 2.7 Information · · Score: 1

    He now wants not only each and every derivetive works, he wants it to be produced especially for him! Make me my linuxs biatch!
    That must be the "Darl Defense", demand non-existing things to proove other non-existing things, so everybody gives you money, or the left wing commie tulband wearing hippy freak terrorists will win! Or else. Or something.

  22. "After all, gravity is a relatively weak force." on Good bye Dark Matter, Hello General Relativity · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    My skateboard and I disagree,

    you insensitive clod!

  23. Re:This sort of thing... on RIAA Sues a Child · · Score: 1

    No yer not a thief, those low lifew dirty scumbags should be keelhauled!

  24. Video... on RIAA Trying to Copy-Protect Radio · · Score: 4, Funny

    killed the radio star.
    But the RIAA is killing radio.

  25. Re:As the article says: on Keyboard Sound Aids Password Cracking · · Score: 1

    Perhaps I should not give the great secret away, but listening in somewhere does not neccisarely require fysical access.
    I see this as a variety of "Van Eyck Phreaking", and suspect there are multiple more ways of knowing passwords by measuring surroundings instead of the thing itself.
