  1. In what way isn't this article just an ad? on Another Sky Press Driving Neo-Patronage · · Score: 1

    Yes, I know this will get modded into trollsville, but I can see no reason whatsoever for this posting. It is simply an ad, complete with blurbs.

  2. Inaccurate - The original method is eletromagnetic on Centrifuge May Be Superseded by Laser Enrichment · · Score: 1

    The Original method for enriching Uranium, and the easiest to build for a nation who wants to do so was the Calutron.

  3. So? on Apple Sics Lawyers on SomethingAwful · · Score: 1

    Aww gee... A threatening letter from corporate lawyers.

    Apple's law dogs send out thousands of these, but most people who get them don't whore them for attention.

  4. Re:Bullshit. on Macs May No Longer Be Immune to Viruses · · Score: 1

    You think a change in processor architecture will change those items?

    I don't.

  5. Bullshit. on Macs May No Longer Be Immune to Viruses · · Score: 1

    Changing processor architectures changes NOTHING about the good and careful design of the Darwin/BSD/OSX software stack.

    This is just wishful thinking on the part of people who still respect Microsoft in spite of everything M$ has done to them.

  6. You can always "sudo su" under OSX. on Sudo vs. Root · · Score: 1

    Even without enabling the root account this works.

    There are a very few things I do that way...

  7. Re:Credibility. on Microsoft Challenges Linux's Legacy Claims · · Score: 1

    Agreed! This is like believing Bush when he says that all is going great in Iraq!

  8. Wal-Mart is EVIL on Hacking Santa · · Score: 1

    I refuse to shop there until they allow unionization efforts without management thuggery.

  9. Typical Republicans. on Free Wi-fi Prompts BellSouth to Withdraw Donation · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    And that is NOT meant as a compliment.

  10. Dr. Mills is a well-known "crank" on New Discovery Disproves Quantum Theory? · · Score: 1

    Were I a betting man, I would bet this is an elaborate scheme to separate the investor from his money, rather like the "Holman Locomotive Speeding Truck Company".

    The Holman Horror

    Interestingly enough, their stock (at least the certificates for same) is worth more today than it ever was when the company existed!

  11. Excellent!!! on Could the Web Not be Invented Today? · · Score: 4, Informative

    You are the ONLY one to have gotten the reference; Shakespeare's "Henry VI, Part Two"

    From act four;

    ALL God save your majesty!

    CADE I thank you, good people: there shall be no money; all shall eat and drink on my score; and I will apparel them all in one livery, that they may agree like brothers and worship me their lord.

    DICK The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.

    CADE Nay, that I mean to do. Is not this a lamentable thing, that of the skin of an innocent lamb should be made parchment? that parchment, being scribbled o'er, should undo a man? Some say the bee stings: but I say, 'tis the bee's wax; for I did but seal once to a thing, and I was never mine own man since. How now! who's there?

  12. First thing we must do... on Could the Web Not be Invented Today? · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...we must kill ALL the lawyers.

  13. What sort of moron was doing the RH install? on Unreliable Linux Dumped from Crest Electronics · · Score: 1, Troll

    Maybe windows IS the best choice if your IQ would make a good temperature for beer.

  14. Re:Nipple rings on females can be a problem... on Body Modifications Still Hinder IT Professionals? · · Score: 1

    I don't have any mod points today, and I couldn't use them on this thread anyway, but; FUNNY! :)

  15. Re:Nipple rings on females can be a problem... on Body Modifications Still Hinder IT Professionals? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, after a period of unemployment and contract work, I now run a Liberal/Progressive talk radio audio archive at http://www.whiterosesociety.org/

    I almost make a living wage on it now, and it grows every day!

    Drop on by some time!

  16. Re:Nipple rings on females can be a problem... on Body Modifications Still Hinder IT Professionals? · · Score: 1

    The company was Ikadega, Inc, and sadly it was killed by the venture capital drought that happened right after 9/11. We had a really revolutionary storage architecture that should have been a Big Thing had we been allowed to complete it.

  17. Nipple rings on females can be a problem... on Body Modifications Still Hinder IT Professionals? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I worked at a startup company where we had a stunningly beautiful intern who wore tight knit tops, no bra and no need for one though she was quite well endowed, and had a variety of nipple piercing jewelry (changed daily.)

    It really lowered the productivity of some of my coworkers and most of them could not look her in the eye when they talked to her.

    It was no problem for me; I've been hanging around with pierced S&M folks since the early 80s! Been there. Done that.

  18. iCal under MacOS X! on Where is the Killer Calendar? · · Score: 1

    I love it.

  19. peep! on Visual DDoS Representation and Its Ramifications · · Score: 1

    There is an audio network status tool called peep.

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/peep/

    Give it a try!

    Back in "the day" we used to put an AM radio on top of the IBM 1130 and listen to the resulting noise to determine if the programs were working properly. Every program had a different sound and every phase of operation of each program was usually discernible from the sound.

  20. When I went to U of C they did not use SSN! on U of C Student Information Compromised · · Score: 1

    They made a big deal about students being known to the University by our names not a number!

    This was in the mid-70s.

    Sad that it changed.

  21. Re:He should use ClearCase. on Linus Drops BitKeeper · · Score: 1

    Clearcase is great! But requires a full time administrator.

  22. www.whiterosesociety.org on Sources of Intelligent Audio for Commute? · · Score: 1

    Lots there.

  23. MacOS X, absolutely! on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I use it for my online media business, http://www.WhiteRoseSociety.org/

    I record shows, process audio, edit HTML, and even serve files from this eMac here and two older iMacs.

    I not only have all of the Mac software available, but almost all Linux/BSD/Gnu programs can be compiled and run under MacOS X, and I do a lot of that. Plus some C development.

  24. This was done MANY times in the day! on Software Distribution By Vinyl · · Score: 1

    Both on flexi-records and on hard vinyl!

    You youngsters don't know how good you have it.

  25. WTG idiots! Now we get no raw images any more. on Amateurs Beat Space Agencies To Titan Pictures · · Score: 0, Troll

    The science involved in these images represents the careers of many people. They had a right to publish first. You took that right away from them. Do not expect raw images of important discoveries any more.
