  1. The paper uses Google NOT Bing. on Why 'Nigerian Scammers' Say They're From Nigeria · · Score: 2

    It seems that Microsoft Research uses Google and not Bing. (Just like everyone else)

  2. I donated money, and I don't blame GeoHot one bit. on Fellow Hackers Blast Geohot For Sony Settlement · · Score: 2

    I can't say that I would have done anything differently. If he donates the money to EFF great, if not it is his decision, and I am OK with that.

    If you didn't donate any money, you don't get to say what is right or wrong.

  3. The last photo on Iran Claims Two New Supercomputers · · Score: 1

    Has anyone had a closer look at the last photo?
    They all look angry or unhappy.

    For extra credit:
    Add thought bubbles.

  4. Re:Android on Should I Learn To Program iOS Or Android Devices? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    How is this flamebait? It was an honest opinion. It might be touchy subject for some, but how can you argue against me calling Apple products proprietary?

  5. Re:Android on Should I Learn To Program iOS Or Android Devices? · · Score: 1

    No, I have been a card carrying open source evangelist since 1997.
    I do not like Google, but Apple is even worse.

  6. Android on Should I Learn To Program iOS Or Android Devices? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    iPhone is too proprietary it is a dead end.

  7. Re:How fast? on Google Shares Insights On Accelerating Web Sites · · Score: 1

    It is better than discriminating based on the webserver software, like MSN was doing:

  8. Re:Just out of curiosity ... on Lenovo Tinkers With Larger Delete and Escape Keys · · Score: 1

    My Lenovo x61s has the ESC right above F1. When I first got my x61s kept hitting F1 instead. In the end I just xmodmapped my F1 to ESC. Problem solved.

  9. Re:So winning a war... on The Unmanned Air Force · · Score: 1

    So winning a war will be about programming skills and not economic power.

    I for one welcome our new communist overlords.

    I agree, I wonder how this will change wars. Changing the economics is probably harder than just focusing on education.

    Moors law will applied to war is a scary concept.

  10. Re:I am glad I work with UNIX systems. on Abused IT Workers Ready To Quit · · Score: 1

    If that's your idea of abuse, the waaahmbulance is definitely coming to pick you up.

    No you are right, it is not abuse it is torture. (in the long run)

  11. I am glad I work with UNIX systems. on Abused IT Workers Ready To Quit · · Score: 3, Insightful

    1 to troll in 2 seconds...

    Honestly I think this acceptance of things going wrong and "thats just the way IT is" belongs in the Windows world.

    I have personally quit 2 jobs in the past because I was asked to work with Microsoft products.

    User friendly and sysadmin friendly are two different things.

  12. And security? on Intel Core I7 Launched, Nehalem and X58 Tested · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wonder if they have fixed the security problems of the past.

  14. The Internet != The intarwebs on DNS Poisoning Hits One of China's Biggest ISPs · · Score: 1

    "Basically, the problem exists in the DNS system, which translates Web addresses into numerical IP addresses and serves as the phone book for the Internet."

    I would have expected more from CNet. I guess thats what the internet is now: "The Web".

  15. Re:I understand running away from prison... but on Spam King and Family Dead In Murder-Suicide · · Score: 1

    I have never wished for mod points until now... (positive)

  16. Re:Optimized? on Next Generation SSDs Delayed Due To Vista · · Score: 1

    The Task Manager in Vista only counts physical memmory.
    Try Running the Task Manager from XP on Vista. Scary stuff...

  17. He will be remembered on Arthur C. Clarke Is Dead At 90 · · Score: 1

    His works have inspired a lot of people, including me.

    Farewell

  18. Re:Real IT problems caused by daylight savings on Daylight Saving Time Wastes Energy · · Score: 1

    I always wonder why Windows didn't use UTC on the hardwareclock, and then use timezone and related info to decide what to display to the user. I guess the domain controller problems relate to kerberos tickets or something like that, right?

  19. Re:Please help us improve our documentation. on Spying On Tor · · Score: 1

    Tell people that it is like using a public wireless hotspot to access the net, assume that someone is watching, and maybe even interfering with your traffic.

  20. Webmasters are NOT dead! on Who Killed the Webmaster? · · Score: 1

    They were just renamed to flash monkey.

    I hate flash sites.

  21. Re:How do you encrypt... on Seagate To Encrypt Data On Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    You XOR it with either 1 or 0.

  22. Re:this is getting silly on Music Industry Prepares to Sue Yahoo China · · Score: 0, Troll

    The US is getting close to the point where you can sue someone for NOT giving you a reason to sue them.

    Too bad that the rest of the world is following close behind.

    Bush thinks the the US is "the leaders of the free world"?

    In the kingdom of the blind, the man with no head is king.

  23. Re:2001:4860::/32 on Google Explains ISP Rumors · · Score: 1

    You are right, that is not much. Maybe I should ask for a /48 from my ISP.

    "if you do not have an IPv6 allocation already, you can ask support to be allocated a /64 (or /48 if you need it)."

  24. Re:2001:4860::/32 on Google Explains ISP Rumors · · Score: 0

    But is is more than enough.
    I got an /64, and that is still way more than enough.

    To bad IPv6 adoption has been so slow.

  25. This is insane. on Bethesda Responds To Oblivion Re-Rating · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People could paste a picture of "a partialy nude female" on their monitor while playing any game?

    All games sould be rated M?

    Hackers could possibly hack the ESRB website and add a picture of "a partialy nude female" on the site.

    Sould the ESRB website be rated M?
