  1. Bare Bones Yojimbo (not cross-platform) on Ask Slashdot: Software To Organise a Heterogeneous Mix of Files? · · Score: 1

    I think it satisfies all your other requirements, though

  2. Re:Suck it HP on HP Sues Hurd For Joining Oracle · · Score: 1

    I don't think non-compete has anything to do with right-to-work laws. Besides, I believe California is an at-will employment State.

  3. I knew this since high school on If You Don't Want Your Car Stolen, Make It Pink · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Back in high school, I mostly used mechanical pencils. But I kept breaking them: the metal tips snap off usually within a week of use. Maybe I press down too hard, or they just make shitty pencils where I live.

    So I imported from Japan a few very well made--but obviously expensive--mechanical pencils. They have no problem taking my abuse. However, I ended up losing all of them over the course of the semester. I sometimes lend one to a classmate, but I didn't always get it back. I don't think they kept it on purpose, but they simply forgot to return it.

    Next semester, I had to import another batch, but I got one in pink. And since then, I only lend out the pink one. I still have most of the pencils I bought then, including the pink one.

    You might think that this strategy will only work ~50% of the time, but since I'm posting this on /. you should be able to figure out why I beat the odds.

  4. Re:PasswordSafe on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    FYI, PasswordSafe works under WINE in OS X, too. There are other keychain utilities that better integrates with OS X, but I don't want to go through the hassle of transition all the password I've accumulated over the years to another utility.

    ...Nynaeve won't be curing death after all.

  6. Definition by analogy on A Succinct Definition of the Internet? · · Score: 1

    Computers are to the Internet as people are to society.

  7. I need to put the controller down... on How Encrypted Binaries Work In Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    ...because the first image that pops into my head when I read DSMOS is an android with hot pink hair that kicks ass.

  8. It's just HIV, not HIV virus! on Genetic HIV Resistance Deciphered · · Score: 3, Informative

    HIV = Human Immunodeficiency Virus
    PIN = Personal Identification Number

    There's no need to repeat the last word of the the acronym!

    For the math geeks, try: e^(pi *i ) + 1

  10. Re:IPv6: A Protocol of Failure on The Impending IP Crisis · · Score: 1

    2. There are too many addresses...

    This sounds too similar to the 640K argument, somehow I thought people would have learned by now...

    3. IPv6 addresses are too large...

    See above.

    4. The IPv6 header is too large. An IPv4 header compact at 20 bytes in length, while the IPv6 is bloated at 40 bytes...

    IIRC, IPv6 dropped the checksum & fragment headers, so that routers don't have to handle them anymore. Since checksums need to be computed at each hop (I don't know about fragment assembly), I'd think that the spped up would more than offset the transit time for the larger header.
