  1. original audiogalaxy blew on The AudioGalaxy Story · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Anybody remember the original audiogalaxy? It was basically a glorified FTP search. For the sites it indexed, it also listed up/down ratios, access restrictions, etc. Both it and scour were the first ones out the door in terms of sharing beyond a P2P client. They both started hunting down windows shares, then indexing open windows shares (the owner of which would have no idea), then trying random logins to FTPs, etc. I had all this crap in my server logs as they tried to break into my Samba shares and FTP site to index my content. I had to ask to be removed more than a few times. Bastards.

  2. Hello and I am a troll. on The Perl Foundation Grants Are Running Out · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Please do not agree with me. I made no attempt to justify my assertion, therefore it can hardly be construed as valid. If I had started from a general set of core concepts concerning Perl, and built a logical progression from such concepts to my conclusion, then your response may actually have some merit. Unfortunately, I am just bored at work and decided to see who I could piss off.

    Apparently, we are both failures, and we should kill ourselves. You go first.

  3. perl is crap on The Perl Foundation Grants Are Running Out · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    it's about time that development on this monstrosity came to a grinding halt.

  4. Stevie Case on Good Morning, Professor Romero · · Score: 1

    Will Romero's surgically-enhanced mapping-doll be teaching the special session "Boobs and Gaming"?

  5. fucking danish on Danish Court Rules Deep Linking Illegal · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I've always believe that Denmark is full of morons. This is just further proof.

  6. Re:25 Hours? on Isn't it Time for Metric Time? · · Score: 1

    I don't know. I don't care. It's one of the two.

  7. etoy.com did it first on Isn't it Time for Metric Time? · · Score: 1

    They have a Java applet and everything. I don't think they do metric dates, though. It would be hard to justify anything other than 365 days a year. However you break down the months, it should probably be divisible by 4 to account for the solstices and equinoxes. And then there's the phases of the moon, which might make a good basis for months, but that's not how the Gregorian calendar works. It's also off by twenty days for each of the seasons. Fucking Christians can't get anything right!

  8. Re:25 Hours? on Isn't it Time for Metric Time? · · Score: 1

    There's only one 25 hour day every year: when you roll back your clock for daylight savings in early spring. Free hour!

  9. attack big distributors? on RIAA to Sue You Now · · Score: 1

    The thing about P2P is that you can have a ton of small and medium sized distributors providing as much or more content than a big one. It's the aggregation that's key. Take down the top 5 and you're still left with the bottom thousands or millions that likely have all the same content. I'm not sure the RIAA has any idea what it's dealing with here.

  10. Re:Compatibility on Serial ATA and AGP 8X motherboards · · Score: 1

    as someone pointed out above (but got modded down to zero), ATA is much faster than firewire.

  11. suggestions on Options for Adults with Renewed Interest in Math? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Anything past pythagoras is a little tough for me :) but I know I could get back up to speed quickly.

    That's where you're wrong :) Math will still be tough for you. Just don't try.

  12. Re:Not a party piece on 802.11 Networks, The Definitive Guide · · Score: 4, Funny

    putting on a wig and sitting in front of a mirror is not a party.

  13. unix is dying on Is Linux Dead? · · Score: 1

    the general unix architecture is so dated and flawed. all the modern offspring are only perpetuating this failure of design.

  14. 2 billion pages, sure on AllTheWeb Claims Bigger Index Than Google · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    But 99% of the web is worthless tripe that nobody will ever want to see.

  15. it's simple on Technology Sectors that are Hot or Heating Up Now? · · Score: 1

    what's hot is not technology, it's applied technology. forget wireless, forget networking, forget systems, forget anything purely tech. look into science, medicine, engineering, etc. -- fields that produce something tangible that both investors and the general public can latch on to.

  16. Re:And on behalf of everyone... on Peer-to-Peer Cell Phones? · · Score: 1

    Yea and anything wireless like this stuff should be secured because nobody would want their calls flying through the air unencrypted. Wait. They already do! Anybody can currently grab your cellphone calls with the right equipment. Allowing your calls to pass through other phones doesn't create any more insecurity. Dimwit. Fuck you. Please die and stop wasting all that air.

  17. remote poking device on Haptic Battle Pong... Future of Game Interface? · · Score: 1

  18. Re:Battle Pong? on Haptic Battle Pong... Future of Game Interface? · · Score: 1

    whoever rated this funny was sorely mistaken. the comment was not, in fact, funny. it was particularly unfunny. and it was crap.

  19. Re:Lets crawl before we walk... on Calculators vs. PDAs in the Classroom · · Score: 2, Funny

    as long as the "ole fashioned" ways (i.e. by hand on paper) are taught/learned first.

    Agreed. All computer science education will now start with punch cards and move forward to more modern tools.

    oh fuck

  21. This is no toss-up. on Satellite Radio - XM vs. Sirius? · · Score: 1

    But, I like the fact that XM carries Art Bell, more than one 80's station, and VH1 content.

    Kill yourself.

  22. computer science winners on Scientific American Web Awards · · Score: 1

    It's great how only one of the "computer science" sites has anything to do with computer science.
