  1. At least he's honest. on Disarm Internet Trolls, Gently · · Score: 1

    I may have misunderstood the word "troll"

    Yes, Shlomi, I believe that you have. Perhaps one day you will meet a real troll, and then you can write another article about that.

  2. Well... on SSDs Cause Crisis For Digital Forensics · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So either SSDs are really hard to erase, or really hard to recover. I'm so confused.

    All I know is that if SSDs were really hard to erase, and I was in the business of recovering data that other people didn't want recovered, this is exactly the kind of story that I would tell them so that they would continue using SSDs.

    Not that I'm paranoid or anything.

  3. Re:New business model on What Would You Do With Open.org? · · Score: 1

    Too late. I already used a time machine to go back in time and register the domain on behalf of the Oregon Public Education Network. History has already been changed, as you can see from the title of this article. It's no longer "Linux Fund Suddenly Remembers Registering Open.org But Doesn't Know What To Do With It", but now something completely different.

  4. Re:OK, while I understand the angst on PayPal Freezes Support Account For Bradley Manning · · Score: 1

    The law that Pay Pal follows is usually the one that says "I've got the pistols, so I'll keep the pesos." Yeah, that seems fair.

  5. Re:Kids shouldnt even have SSI numbers on Why Google Wants Your Kid's SSN · · Score: 1

    But the sooner they have their number assigned, the sooner it can be tattooed onto their hand and forehead.

  6. Nobody's perfect. on Comment Profanity by Language · · Score: 1

    Nah. PHP and Python users aren't wholesome, they just can't spell.

  7. Re:Not exactly how it works on Anonymous Denies Targeting Westboro Baptist Church · · Score: 1

    I hope this has been clear.

    And if it hasn't, then try mixing Red Bull with Vodka for a while. Eventually it will all make sense.

  8. The most frustrating part on How Watchmen Killed 'R'-rated Fantasy Movies · · Score: 1

    "Watchmen was actually *good*."

    It sure was. Did you know that there was a movie based on it too?

  9. Re:Game of Thrones. on How Watchmen Killed 'R'-rated Fantasy Movies · · Score: 1

    It would also be split into sixteen parts and released with a ten year gap between the fourteenth and fifteenth.

  10. Re:Makefile on Man Open Sources His Genetic Data · · Score: 1

    Try it on a real BSD system. GNU make is missing several key options including this one.

  11. Re:Makefile on Man Open Sources His Genetic Data · · Score: 1

    There's a Makefile in the source. I assume it's a symbolic link to the kamasutra.

    There may be something to that.

    Tower: Flight 2-0-9'er cleared for vector 324.
    Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence.
    Clarence Oveur: Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?

    Clarence Oveur: That's Clarence Oveur. Over.

  13. Maybe you should have an editor read this one, Rog on The Seven Types of Hackers · · Score: 5, Funny

    "If you think simply having a buffer overflow, fully patched systems, and antivirus will defend against all hackers no matter their objectives, you're wrong."

    Um, if you think that a buffer overflow is supposed to defend you, then you're even more wrong.

  14. Re:Says you. on How Your Username May Betray You · · Score: 1

    The whole point of using the same username in multiple venues is mere simplicity of not having to remember multiple usernames.

    That goes both ways. You're making it simpler for everyone else in the world to not remember or learn your multiple usernames. And the notion that you are the only unique snowflake in the whole world who visits one particular pair of sites is hopelessly naive.

  15. I'm not sure that's what 'Betray' means. on How Your Username May Betray You · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You see, that's really THE WHOLE POINT of using the same username in multiple venues. In fact, it's the whole point of having a publicly visible username at all.

    It's there to promote continuity between your various posts. It builds a "brand identity", if that's a phrase that you can use without wanting to punch yourself. If that wasn't what you were trying to do then you shouldn't have registered a user name in the first place.

  16. Re:Looking for Job on After MS-Nokia Pact, Many Nokia Workers Walk Out In Protest · · Score: 1

    If you had worked at Nokia, you probably would have been looking for a job, like, last year.

    The people walking out or quitting now are just saving some time.

  17. Re:Just don't need one. on Why Dumbphones Still Dominate, For Now · · Score: 1

    I’d love to be able to quickly look something up or use GPS/google maps on the odd occasion, but wouldn’t use it often enough to justify $70 a month, which here in Canada seems to generally be the minimum.

    Actually, here in Canada $70 could buy you voice, data, and a whole new phone every month. The only reason to pay that much for service is if you're a victim of Rogers, Bell or one of their sock-puppets.

    In major urban areas you can get basic voice/text/call display/etc for $15 and a light data plan for an extra $10. An unlimited voice and data plan currently runs about $45.

  20. Re:Why you gotta insult Lindsay? on New Technique For Making JPEG Images Copy-Evident · · Score: 1

    How many of you wouldn't have ended up in the exact same straights (or worse) if that had been YOUR life?

    Through it all, at least Lindsay knows how to spell straits.

  21. Re:What an ugly move to discredit wikileaks on WikiLeaks Nominated For 2011 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 2

    No kidding.

    2008 - MARTTI AHTISAARI - Who spent every single day from 1994 to 2000 seeking out and destroying molecular Oxygen, leaving behind poisonous Carbon Dioxide in its place.

    2002 - JIMMY CARTER JR., - A man who confessed to murdering millions of members of the arachis hypogaea family, and who has somehow avoided being tried for his crimes so far.

    It just gets worse the deeper you dig. Even the 14th Dalai Lama scores 800 milihitlers on the evilometer for his part in the mysterious deaths of his thirteen predecessors.

    You mean making it 10" tall and putting it on a stage?

  24. Re:Steam Cloud on Sony Wants To Put Your Game Saves In the Cloud · · Score: 1

    I can't tell you have wonderful it is to be able to play a game like Puzzle Quest on my desktop and then continue my game right from where I left off on my laptop without having to hunt down the save game file and transport it myself.

    If this is a big deal for you, why not just install something like Dropbox (referral link if you want extra storage for free) or Spideroak (Referral again if you want free stuff) and set it up to sync all of your saved games automatically without having to wait for Valve to do it for you?

    It's simple, it's reasonably secure, and I have been using it to run the same games on my Windows workstation, Debian desktop and Ubuntu Notebook for quite a while without any troubles at all.
