  1. Not bad. on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    A bit slow scrolling on my FF 3.6.13 on CentOS 5.5 with dual Core2s at 2.4Ghz, but I assume that'll be rectified in due time. It'll take some getting used to, but in general I like it. Keep up the good work!

  2. Re:What's the open alternative? on Amazon Taking Down Erotica, Removing From Kindles · · Score: 1

    I have a NOOK, and in addition to the B&N content, I can load damn near anything I want on it myself, epub, pdb, txt, pdf, etc. And I do. Google Project Gutenberg, and Calibre.

  3. Re:Show me an actual distributed RCS. on An Illustrated Version Control Timeline · · Score: 1

    Try gitolite. Good stuff.

  4. Re: Obviously cool ... on US Lab Models Galaxy Cluster Merger · · Score: 1

    Seconded. Strongly seconded.

  6. Re:Say what you like about Shatner on Might Shatner Boldly Lead Canada As Governor? · · Score: 1

    That's going to be in my head all day now, TYVM.

    Now, it's Pretty Good Privacy. Soon, it will be Poof Gone Permanently.

  13. Re:Why I still think we need vouchers on Stand and Deliver Teacher Jaime Escalante Dies · · Score: 2, Informative

    Separation of church and state forbids it. Period. I say this as the brother of someone who got a damned fine education at a pair of Catholic schools.

  14. Re:He shouldn't be arrested on Obama's Twitter Account "Hacked" · · Score: 1

    I have several accounts with these sorts of dumb mandatory security questions. I make up totally crap answers(Favorite band? Rheumatic fever. Highschool? George Clinton. That sort of thing.) and stick them in an encrypted spot.

    The ones that let you create the question are much better.

  15. Interested in seeing where this goes on Nexuiz Founder Licenses It For Non-GPL Use · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I was surprised when I heard about this. I'll definitely be following it closely.

  16. Re:No torture on ACLU Sues Over Legality of "Targeted Killing" By Drones · · Score: 1

    I'm confused. Waterboarding is highly immoral. Remote control assassination of innocent civilians is immoral. Why are we comparing the two?

  17. Re:Domestic vs. Foreign on ACLU Sues Over Legality of "Targeted Killing" By Drones · · Score: 1

    And again, your evidence that these citizens hav done this is. . .

    And what exactly is "our" faith, just out of curiosity?

    Oh! I can just take your word for it? *Believe you*? Gosh, *now* I feel better. Hey, guys, dwillden say the military's doing the right thing, so they must be!

    I'm sorry, but how the hell can you possibly know that? If you do, how is your post not a massively illegal leak?

  19. Re:Translation to standard units on The Bloodhound Will Stay On the Ground At 1,000 mph · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it properly be 0.00000149c, thus making c the unit?

  20. Re:Google is free for anyone with a browser on Google Readying To Pull Out of China · · Score: 1

    Mod this through the damn roof.

  22. Re:What a Tragedy and No Charges? on Accidental Wii Suicide · · Score: 1

    I'm a parent as well. And I agree with both of your sentences. And I still think the book needs to be thrown at him.

  23. Re:Suicide? on Accidental Wii Suicide · · Score: 1

    No. Lying isn't illegal. Criminal negligence is. Lying also doesn't directly kill. Only indirectly, like in the case of politics.

    So, yeah, he's a moron.

  25. Are you serious?!?!?! on Accidental Wii Suicide · · Score: 1

    The unfortunate thing is that this Nintendo game called Wii had what looks like a solid black, basically automatic-looking type mechanism that operates the game,

    No, the unfortunate thing is that there was a goddamned loaded gun in reach of a toddler! The owner of the gun should be in prison! The controller shape is questionable, yes, but the blame lies squarely on the gun owner's ridiculous negligence.
