  1. Re:PDA? on PDA Security, the Next Big Hurdle for IT? · · Score: 1

    Possibley they were referring to the Public Dismantaling of Addresses (the slashdot effect) that occur about these parts?

  2. cool, but what about... on Graphics Card Comparison Guide · · Score: 1

    What about taking the top cards from each manufacturer and comparing those? Or allowing the viewer to select which manufacturers they would like to compare and laying it all out?

  3. Re:At $699 per CPU on How Many Google Machines, Really? · · Score: 1

    I know that they created their own custom clustering system, was this what you were thinking of?

  4. and in germany on Swedish Pirate Demo · · Score: 1

    And in Germany it is Worker's Day: a day when all the shops are closed and no one has to work. The funny/ironic part is: (1) yesterday was a Saturday so people probabley weren't working that much anyways and (2) I saw many open shops and construction workers were continuing work on the S Ban (one of the trains in South Germany, Bavaria) tracks because it was more conveniant that way for the rest of the populace.

  5. and... on Swedish Pirate Demo · · Score: 2, Funny

    and Paris Hilton video.

  6. Silly Pirates Play With Reality on Swedish Pirate Demo · · Score: 2, Funny

    They would probabley just steal from eachother. I could see an entire pirate economy coming out of it: black market becoming the predominant [stock]market, thereby calling out the need for a fusia or peach pink market. *sigh* Silly pirates, don't they realize what they're doing?

  7. Re:No on Earthlings: Ugly Bags of Mostly Water · · Score: 1

    without obsessing about it like some science fiction fans

    I think you are going to find this type of following no matter what genre or medium you look at. Anyways, it's been a day since this started, let's just be good /.ers and agree to disagree & go onto something more current. ;)

  8. Re:No on Earthlings: Ugly Bags of Mostly Water · · Score: 1

    I have to disagree, very few people take either written or visual media as seriously as "Trekkies" do.

    And I, in turn, must disagree with this. :) According to your statement "Trekkies" are the only ones, besides few, that devote most of their time to a written or visual media. Why then do students major in film and literature, hordes of populace attend movie theatres, towns pay for public libraries, etc? If "Trekkies" are the only ones that take such mediums seriously, then why is so much money being put into these mediums by the mass populace?

  9. Re:No on Earthlings: Ugly Bags of Mostly Water · · Score: 1

    How so? Such dedication is shown to other stories in our culture (ex: Tolkien, Star Wars, Steven King, Shakespeare, etc). There are conferences, movies, and classes dedicated to their material as well. Why does doing this with Star Trek give SciFi a bad name, and someone taking a class on Dante's Inferno not?

  10. ET on Listen to the Sky · · Score: 0

    Well this sure beats out any other attempt to contact distant life forms. Looks like ET left behind a few ideas.

  11. Neg on Technology Spontaneously Combusts In Sicily · · Score: 0, Insightful

    No, an EMP just disrupts electronics, doesn't blow them up. Though I suppose blowing them up would be one hell of a way to DDoS an ISP.

  12. Historical on Technology Spontaneously Combusts In Sicily · · Score: 1

    So that's how Mussolini made the trains run on time, he just clustered the country's electronic services. Some new guy on the job probably just hooked up the cluster to the wrong outlet and blew the thing. ;)
