  1. Why this rules... on Koolio, the Beer Delivery Robot · · Score: 3, Funny

    From the web page:

    "It locates room 326 and delivers Dr. Nechyba his Diet Coke thus averting disaster."

    He would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids!

  2. Re:HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM on HDD Assault Cannon · · Score: 3, Interesting

    YES. It appears that we need a bittorrent browser plugin client for /.

  3. Re:Likewise on Reasonable Salary for Entry Level Programmers? · · Score: 1

    I'm still in SF and for what I do, the market is rough.

    Where are you now and what are you doing??

  4. Re:Heading off at the pass.... on Solar-Hydrogen Eco-House · · Score: 1

    Actually, from the reports that I have heard, hydrogen flame is not a big explosion - something that we are all afraid of. Also, the word is that the Hindenburg's frame continued burning and that was the reason for all the carnage.

    The researchers for BMW or Mercedes have studied this with interest because of all the hydrogen powered car work that's been going on.

  5. Agreed on the range issue on AirPort Software Updated to v3.4 · · Score: 2, Informative

    My Ti is 10 feet from the Extreme base station and I'm getting 60% on the bars after running the update.

    Test early, test often, test on all supported platforms.

  6. honestly on One Third of Email Now Spam · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Why are we letting people get away with this crap?

    People should either die or be locked up. That would stop it.

    With all the brainpower on this site, we are serious pussies for letting this go on and not contributing to people who have the authority to stop this.

    Time for a little vigilante action. This is costing every country millions and creating grief for the world's email users just so a few hundred societal leeches can make a buck.

    "If you go out of your was to become a blight on society, then you deserve to be removed from it."

  7. Re:Holes that windows plugged a decade ago... on Linux's Achilles Heel Apparently Revealed · · Score: 1

    Silly goose.

    If you want to install one, it's as easy as plugging in another video card on a mac.

    You install one by plugging it in to the expansion slot, or through USB if you so desire.

    There ARE pro sound cards for the mac you know.

    And that Apple plugged in the 1980's

    Oh, wait. On the Mac sound is built in. You don't need a sound card.

    Well, geez.

  9. Re:Your cause and effect's all out of whack. on Apple Announces New Pro Software · · Score: 4, Informative

    You are wrong.

    Apple did not "come up with Final Cut Pro." I worked at Macromedia when Randy Ubillos (of Premier fame) started creation of Keygrip. The product was 2 or more years in development and quite behind schedule. It was done out of the Macromedia offices near Oracle in the mid 90's. Macromedia sold this technology to Apple and the development continued to become Final Cut.

    I'd have a friend do it.

    OMG! That uncoverer article is the funniest thing ever.

    Wish I was there to see it... uuuhhh, wish I was able to see a video of it.

    Anyone here in San Jose wanna restage this for my edification?

  15. Re:Suggestions on Spam and the Law Conference Report · · Score: 1

    YES! Searches on words without vowels would match viagra and v**gr*

    Something to think about. Thank you!

    But we gotta bring these assholes out into the public eye.

    Oops. Just got some spam I must report.

    We GOTTA do this.

  16. Next time on Spam and the Law Conference Report · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Next time we know a meeting like this is coming up, we send a representative and photograph each of the spammers and post a "Most wanted" web page with each spammer's photograph and address.

    Then put up forms that can be printed out ala "wanted poster" style and have volunteers post the wanted posters all over the spammers' towns.

    Expose them and run them out of where they live. Make their lives as hard as they make ours.

  17. Re:What I do with spam on Spam and the Law Conference Report · · Score: 3, Insightful

    As long as SOME reply-to addresses are bogus, it means that the method is useless.

    Also, since these spammers are proceeding with illegal activities in the first place, why would we even THINK that they would obey the new opt out rules and not resort to "they replied so it's a valid address to spam"?

  22. Excess Caffeine will harm you on Death by Coffee? · · Score: 1

    Well, whole coding on my last contract, I was going through a quart of string iced tea a day. Then the muscle under my left eye started twitching.

    It now twitches intermittently during the day. Seems I overloaded the signal system and it just fires as it wants to.

    And yes, a cup of tea of coffee makes it worse.
