  1. Re:signed kernel modules would be good for apple t on How to Save Mac OS X From Malware · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Better for Apple = Worse for consumer. Let's face it: after what they've done to the Mac experience in the last couple of years, Apple (cough, Computer) is more interested in selling iPods and other crap then keeping the Mac user friendly and intuitive. Signing execs and modules would only allow the engineers to let the Apple Gestapo lock down their OS rather than intuitively fixing the problem.

  2. Lower salaries = bad file i/o routines? on The Impact of Low Salaries At Apple · · Score: 1

    Maybe there's a correlation? Damn 10.5.3. You'd think i/o bugs as big as the ones in the latest OS X updates would be caught at some point in the testing.

  3. A few weeks ago on AC = Domestic Terrorists? · · Score: 1

    Fox News (Bill O'Reilley specifically) did a segment on "gay gangs" which are roaming the streets of Washington, D.C. with "pink pistols". Even had an "expert detective" describe this activity. Too bad the expert turned out to be a rent-a-cop from a fast food restaurants. Oh, and even better, the whole story was debunked by several non-journalistic organizations. Funny how outside agencies have to do the reporting for Fox News to get the story right, isn't it?

  4. Really? on Krugman On the Connectivity Power Shift · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Did anyone actually think that the GWB (George W. Bush, or Great White Baddie --- whichever you prefer) administration would want widespread high-speed access to an infrastructure that supports uncensored dissemination of information? Knowledgeable masses are scary to social conservatives.

  5. No way. on Does Zelda Need an Overhaul? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The Zelda style of gameplay is what the fans keep coming back for. Perhaps a spinoff from the series would be best suited for this idea.

  6. Who cares about X on CentOS on CentOS 5 Released · · Score: 1

    Hardly anyone who uses CentOS uses X. In my opinion it's the best Linux distro for a load-it-and-leave-it server platform. But of course the big new features are in Gnome and KDE. Go figure.

  7. Don't look for little green men on Water Found in Exoplanet's Atmosphere · · Score: 1

    Look for red-orange crystal based lifeforms called Tholians. Just because the planet is hot, doesn't necessarily mean it can't support life. Although it might be very nasty to us.

  8. Future history repeats itself on Spray-On Computers · · Score: 1

    Obviously, they never saw the "Bags of Mostly Water" episode (or whatever the real name was) of ST:TNG. Smart sand can kill you.

  9. Re:The downward spiral continues on HP Lays Off Unix/IA-64 gurus · · Score: 1

    why is unix dying? xp won't make an advance on who's running unix now - few will leave the unix arena for a product such as xp which *does* follow the same lines as its predecessors, mainly security holes, poor performance, poor reliability, and overall high administration costs.

  10. byebye hp-ux on HP Lays Off Unix/IA-64 gurus · · Score: 1

    the less time spent on developing hp-ux further the better in my opinion.
