  1. What Wikipedia Does on What is the Best Way to Handle a GPL Violation? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Over at Wikipedia (which is distributed under the GNU-FDL), there's a page that lists other sites using Wikipedia's content.

  2. Not to worry on Matrix-Style Brain Interface Closer To Reality · · Score: 1

    a very sharp climb into a stall

    They have counseling for that.

    That's *terran* overlord. Now get it right before I put away the encouragement whip and break out the cruel whip.

  4. Clarification on 2003: Year of Apache · · Score: 1

    If Apache can get the job done with one server, but it takes 5 IIS servers to do it, then should IIS be rewarded with an inflated market share?

    You might not want to go flauting that these days ;)

  6. Re:Stats can't be /.'s major on 2003: Year of Apache · · Score: 1

    Thank you - I appreciate your kind words. Some people just can't take a joke.

  7. Yes, but measuring webserver market share is hard on 2003: Year of Apache · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Web server market share is a funny thing. Do you count the total number of webservers, or just domains? What if you use a very ineffecient implimentation, and it takes twice the number of machines to do it? Should the server get a better market share because of it? The numbers are open to a lot of intepritation.

  8. The platform they did the calculations on on 2003: Year of Apache · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    ...while Microsoft IIS, its nearest competitor has shrunk from 36% to 24%, a 33% decline.

    I guess they compiled the statistics on a Pentium II.

  9. Hiyo on When Geeks Go Camping · · Score: 1

    Reference lost on younger audience.

  10. Bzzzzt, wrong on RIAA Takes the Fight to the Streets · · Score: 1

    (Dons flame retardant suit)

    Public domain? That has not been properly infected by the GPL. The FSF police are on their way to your house as I type this.

  11. Re:"Who to send" is a serious question! on Bush To Announce Manned Trip To Moon, Mars · · Score: 4, Funny

    Good idea - you should write a book.

  12. You figure it out on Still No Contact from Beagle 2 · · Score: 3, Funny

    It was supposed to touch down in a certain area. A few minutes after it was supposed to touch down, they noticed a big, smoking crater. They're trying to figure out of the two are related.

  13. Man, what a pain on Still No Contact from Beagle 2 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Retrieving the black box is going to be a *bitch* :)

  14. You know on Tech Scholarships for College/University? · · Score: 1

    I would mod you down if I could find something incorrect with that... :(

  15. Re:Helpful little program on New Worm Spreads Via MSN Messenger · · Score: 1

    1) I'm not even going to dignify that one with a response.

    2) I tried the right syntax first. It didn't render properly, so I faked it.

    3) If I didn't say it was a simpsonism, I would have gotten at least 2, probably more like 6 responses flaming me for being a racist.

    4) Once again, to indicate facetiousness

    5) If you actually looked at the link, you would see the page and program are written primarily in German.

  16. Helpful little program on New Worm Spreads Via MSN Messenger · · Score: 5, Informative

    For anyone who has tried to uninstall MSN messanger, you know how much of a bitch it is. I recommend Windows XP antispy to get rid of it.

    After all, (simpsonism) "no one who speaks german could be evil (/simpsonism) :)

  17. It should be obvious... on Forbes Ventures Bold Predictions For IT, Linux · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...to anyone, technie or luddite alike, that IBM has a vested interest in seeing this lawsuit through to the end and making sure SCO is crushed into a fine-grained dust.

    Yes, it would probably be cheaper for them to stop short. But that's kind of like negotiating with people who take hostages - you do it once, and it encourages others. Which is why this one is going all the way to the end, and IBM will not settle for anything less than complete victory.

  18. Tell that to the people in Florida... on Will Cellular Phones Skew Survey Results? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...whose election was decided by just over 500 votes. That's what, a small high school?

  19. Actually on Do Companies Take Software, And Not Give? · · Score: 1

    From what I have heard, setting up a 501-c3 is extremely difficult. Because of the benefits it provides, there are a lot of obstacles.

  20. Emphasis on Linus Blasts SCO's Header Claims · · Score: 0

    ...on the bloody. For Christmas, Santa gave SCO a nice big scheisse all over their lawsuit.

  24. So, we're injecting nanoparticles now, eh on Detoxing With Magnets for Fun and Profit · · Score: 4, Funny

    How long until we get the full borg suit? (And for the record, I call dibbs on 7 of 9)

  25. Just to be a little prophetic here on Detoxing With Magnets for Fun and Profit · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I heard a saying: The 20th century was the century of physics. The 21st century will be the biology and medicine.

    If you think about it, that's amazingly true. At the begining of the 20th century, Think about all we discovered - the atom bomb, computers, television, etc. Contrast that with our treatment of disease, which is rudementary at best. Just wait until genetic therapy become available, or disease attacking bacteriophages, or artificialy grown organs. I think medicine is in for revolution.
