  1. My 78 year old father on Judge Doesn't Know What a Web Site is · · Score: 1

    Got a digital camera last year. Has a nice P4 Windows XP box, with a 21" LCD monitor. Good laser printer too. Sure, he's not going to become a developer, but he is more confident with the tech than many people half his age.

  2. The Cylons have a Plan! on Battlestar Galactica To Continue After All · · Score: 0

    And someday they're gonna share it with the writers! I promise!

  3. I bet they bring Time Travel and Nazis into it. on Final Season of Battlestar Galactica Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Probably solve the energy crisis while they're at it.

  4. Damn. Wish I had mod points on Final Season of Battlestar Galactica Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Sadly, some of those probably aren't too far from what we'll actually see.

  5. The Cylons Have A Plan on Final Season of Battlestar Galactica Confirmed · · Score: 5, Funny

    I just hope they've finally decided to share it with the writers.

  6. If the election is boring on For Democrats, Florida Primary May Not Count · · Score: 1

    The voters won't be interested. We want the voters interested.

  7. Re:No kidding on Harvard Prof Says Computers Need to Forget · · Score: 1

    Actually I don't really care that it's on there. I just find it interesting that the information has been retained for 20 years.

  8. The reason they're doing this on For Democrats, Florida Primary May Not Count · · Score: 5, Informative

    Is laid out pretty well in Broder's piece today in the Washington Post.

  9. No kidding on Harvard Prof Says Computers Need to Forget · · Score: 4, Interesting
    I just pulled my credit report, which I do 3 or 4 times a year. My address at my old air defense outfit at Ft Polk (D 1/55 ADA) is still listed there.

    I got out of the army in 1988.

  10. Wish her Happy Birthday Annabel! on Big Red Button Disasters? · · Score: 4, Funny

    What do you mean "not truly free". She's open source, and created by relatively unskilled labor, right?

  11. Dark Stars? on Dark Matter Stars in the Early Universe? · · Score: 2, Funny

    The bastard children of Dark Helmet and Lone Star?

  12. I didn't have trouble with them on Ubuntu Mobile Announced · · Score: 1

    Copy the ipk to the sd/cf/whatever card, run it, app installed.

  13. Ummm. No on Verizon Claims Free Speech Over NSA Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    I said "a good (legally, not morally) argument." Saying the argument against the non-enumerated rights is not moral is hardly disparaging those rights.

  14. I OpenMoko built on OpenEmbedded on Ubuntu Mobile Announced · · Score: 1

    Which is a descendant of OpenZaurus, which is a descendant of Debian/Arm. I wouldn't be surprised, therefore, to see Ubuntu building on one of those. It'd save them lots of effort.

  15. That's an interesting take on it. on Verizon Claims Free Speech Over NSA Wiretapping · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Since Free Speech is enshrined directly in the Constitution while Privacy is not (it's an indirect right. See Roe Vs Wade for more info), they could have a good (legally, not morally) argument.

  16. The Atlantic has an article on A Foolproof Way To End Bank Account Phishing? · · Score: 1
  17. You need to learn to read English. on Library of Congress Threatens Washington Watch Wiki · · Score: 1

    Endorsement of Washington Watch, not the LOC.

  18. Because I'm Evil on Andersen Vs. RIAA Counterclaims Challenged · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And lazy.

  19. Lick My Love Pump was hack work on Spinal Tap to Reunite for Live Earth · · Score: 1
    Nothing. Nothing is a better heavy metal song than "Big Bottoms".

    I do mean that literally.

  20. Looks like he's already got on Help Make Firefox On Mac Suck Less · · Score: 3, Interesting
    all the suggestions I would make. Primarily, fix the borken bookmarks. It'd be nice to be able to order them by hand rather than having the app decide for me which order they should be in.

    Other than that, I prefer FireFox to the built-in Mac browser.

  21. Well, that's just it on AT&T to Target iPhone to Enterprise · · Score: 1
    Some of the pda/phone combos are poor phones, but decent pdas. Some are the other way around. Haven't met any that are really good at both, mainly due to ergonomic factors. Some are acceptable at both, however.

    I've played with many of them as I am a developer of software for them.

    As a Mac user (recently switched, from linux) I'm actually interested in the iPhone.

  22. Many Windows Mobile 5 SmartPhones on AT&T to Target iPhone to Enterprise · · Score: 1

    also require signing.

  23. Does it make phone calls? on AT&T to Target iPhone to Enterprise · · Score: 4, Funny

    Interesting that's third on the list of requirements for a mobile phone.

  24. Title should have been on Botnet on Botnet Action · · Score: 1

    "Hawt Botnet on Botnet Action". With links to robot porn.

  25. Re:This is going to ruin my Karma, but..... on Mozilla Releases Thunderbird 2.0.0 · · Score: 1

    I moved from Linux to Mac last month after my 6 year old linux box caught fire. Fortunately the hard drives survived and I was able to copy the data from them to the new Mac. Yes, I had backups, but hadn't done that week's backup yet. So I had to get some data off the drives anyway.
