  1. Re:Way to win the war on terrorism!!! on Military Seeks Approval to Develop Space Weapons · · Score: 1

    OT, but thank you! I've been trying to remember the name of that movie for a long time.

  2. What if... on BPL: The Internet's Fool's Gold · · Score: 4, Funny

    What happens if we combine BPL with power over ethernet? Or is that like crossing the streams...

  3. Leading the way again... on Washington State Outlaws Spyware · · Score: 5, Insightful

    We were also one of the first to make spam illegal. I don't really think it has helped all that much...

  4. Re:PC Gaming is dying, nVidia and ATI are killing on 512MB GeForce 6800 Ultra Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Half finished products that require patches and updates to work correctly? Check.
    What with consoles being online and having harddrives, there are only going to be more post-release bug patches for games on consoles.

  5. Re:1900x1200? 1280x860? Who comes up with these #s on 512MB GeForce 6800 Ultra Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Apparently you don't know the widescreen ones though. My laptop runs at 1900x1200 (WUXGA) and it is nice.

  6. K!! on KDE Developers and Usability Folks on Cooperation · · Score: 0

    I just have a hard time taking KDE serious because they can't have anything without a K in the name.

  7. Re:spyware beta on MS: Beta Software Good Enough for Production Use · · Score: 1

    I agree, it works well. Personally I wish they had integrated it with the security center. They've already got virus scanners there, malware scanners are just as important.

  8. Re:iMac + KVM ? on New Mac System Specs · · Score: 1

    Good luck playing games over RDP (can't use d3d) or VNC (looks like crap)

    For everything else they are great though.

  9. I was sad... on Four Inducted Into SF Hall of Fame · · Score: 1

    ...but then I realized Frederik Pohl was already in =)

  10. Re:Personal projects? on Software Development Practices At Google · · Score: 1

    Hey, how do you think they optimize the non-safe Image search to be more... comprehensive?

  11. Re:similarities on BlueGene/L Puts the Hammer Down · · Score: 1

    Fortunately there is a lot less grunting.

  12. Re:Watered down? on PSP Launch Coverage · · Score: 4, Funny

    Hey be fair, Pokémon Taupe was pretty good.

  13. Watered down? on PSP Launch Coverage · · Score: 2, Insightful

    However, many of its launch titles are just watered-down versions of PS2 games
    Yeah because it's not like the biggest appeal of the GBA/DS games are all the SNES ports/rehashes.

  14. This could be fun! on Online Purchases Can Give You Away · · Score: 2, Funny

    All you have to do is buy 'inappropriate' gifts for your friends and it'll keep suggesting more of them!

  15. Re:XP - Longhorn on Microsoft Lifts Curtain on Indigo Software · · Score: 2, Funny

    Only if it include Palladium!

  16. Re:why not sooner? on Gmail Goes Public · · Score: 1

    I always thought the whole reason they were doing the invite thing was get a free set of relational information about everyone.

  17. Re:Ummm... on New GameCube Network Loader Runs Homebrew Games · · Score: 1

    The Gamecube uses a mini-DVD format, so you might have trouble burning it.

    However, this article talks about using a glitch in the game Phantasy Star Online to load code off your computer.

  18. Re:Stretch it out! on Longhorn in 2006 · · Score: 1

    Except that OSX still won't load on my x86 box. I'm not about to shell out big bucks for Apple hardware.

  19. Re:More people! on PHBs Getting "Secret" IT Training · · Score: 1

    Duh. I'm not trying to make them out as stupid at all. Unfortunately the computer is a tool they must use for 50-75% of their jobs. A basic working knowledge is all that is required. Most of them have it down (in fact the people who are NOT docs are much worse in most cases).

  20. More people! on PHBs Getting "Secret" IT Training · · Score: 1

    If only some of the doctors I work with would do this... it's amazing how people can be intelligent people and so dumbfounded by a computer.

  21. Re:Passwords on Linux and Unix Security Portable Reference · · Score: 1

    "Make people's passwords hard to remember and they will write them on their monitors."

    But teach them to how to remember more complex passwords and they can eat for life!

    (i.e. complex passwords like "slash^#$dot" which aren't hard to remember)

  22. Re:Hotplug CPU and RAM support? on What Will Be in Linux 2.7? · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is hardware that supports this for higher end servers. (With multiprocessor, AFAIK). Just another way to reduce downtime.

  23. Re:so.. on Jaguar Free for K-12 Teachers · · Score: 0, Redundant

    At least linux doesn't require special hardware though.

  24. Re:Keeping .su as an area? on See Ya .su · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nah, I just want our true TLD's to get brought out.. you know, .earth .moon .mars =)

  25. Re:not everything on Open Spectrum: The New Wireless Paradigm · · Score: 1

    Profit? Nah, That would mean a budget surplus =)
