  1. Netbook version on Ubuntu "Karmic Koala" RC Hits the Streets With Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Anyone know if the netbook version will allow my HP Mini 5101 to use the on-board mobile broadband feature (qualcomm u2400 I think)?

  2. Obligatory on Hyperdrive Propulsion Could Be Tested At the LHC · · Score: 1

    Just because humans haven't discovered it yet does not mean it doesn't exist.

    Amen to that.

  3. Re:Awesome. on Ex-Astronaut Developing Plasma Rocket To Revitalize NASA · · Score: 1

    I love Tang. It takes me to the moon, and to the planet Poon.

    No it doesn't.

  5. Re:Science on Fossil Primate Ardipithecus Ramidus Described (Finally) · · Score: 2, Funny

    In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

    I don't know if you noticed, but brain matter doesn't fossilize particularly well.

    I disagree. You should see some of the effing fossils I work with.

  7. Re:Least of our problems on Cops Play Wii During Undercover Drug Raid · · Score: 1

    Precisely. The officers' use of the Wii could technically be considered a seizure, but, IANAL, so can someone who knows a bit more please elaborate? Thanks in advance.

    Thank you.

    Would you mind explaining this in more depth please?

  10. Re:Seems silly on New "Drake Equation" Selects Between Alien Worlds · · Score: 1

    but in general, the entire Earth should be called "benign" by the standards of the rest of the solar system.

    No, the Earth is described as Mostly Harmless.

  11. Re:We are just lucky I guess on SANS Report Says Organizations Focusing On the Wrong Security Threats · · Score: 4, Funny

    No, no, nooooo. I just appreciate him for his - uh - skills in the patch managem...dammit. If any of you douchers says "bromance" I'm kicking your ass. Now I'm off to the Monster Truck rally.

  12. We are just lucky I guess on SANS Report Says Organizations Focusing On the Wrong Security Threats · · Score: 2, Informative

    My place of employment is lucky to have our "patch management" guy. He is absolutely fanatical about keeping up-to-date on patches for OS and apps, anti-virus updates, and anti-malware updates. I make sure that I tell upper management about him every chance I get so he continues to be properly compensated. He would be difficult to replace. In fact, I doubt I would find another person with his level of dedication, which is kind of sad.

  15. Re:Buy a Pre on iPhone 3.1 Update Disables Tethering · · Score: 1

    I prefer to think of myself as someone with a life.

    So, sitting around posting in an iPhone discussion on /. is your definition of a life?

    When was the last time you saw a person/vehicle/whatever having a mirror?

    Pretty much every vehicle I've ever been in has at least one side mirror.

    Only if the firewall also performs deep packet inspection. Many bad critters (viruses/bacteria) enter the system by making our firewall(s) think they are innocuous by externally looking link other good critters. It is the payload that is the real problem. If we could teach the body to somehow read the payload before docking with the receptors we could be disease (contracted from viruses/bacteria) free.

  21. Re:That might not be safe enough on FBI Investigating Mystery Laptops Sent To US Governors · · Score: 1

    I would guess that this is a distraction technique. The real "rogue" equipment is probably already in the offices, and was probably brought in by trusted employees. Probably.

  24. Re:anthropomorphizing on Suitable Naming Conventions For Workstations? · · Score: 1

    My naming convention:
    [Building][Floor][Department][Userid][Instance][L|P|W|V]

    Each building has a two-letter designation. Floor is self-explanatory. Each department has a 3 letter designation. Userid is the responsible person's AD id. Instance is a number (in case someone has 2, 3 or more laptops, PCs, etc.). L = Laptop, P = PC, W = Workstation, V = Virtual machine.

    So if Joe Blow in purchasing works in building GG on the 4th floor and has 2 PCs, his second PC would be named GG4PURBLOWJ12P.

    This system works very well for me and makes it easy to find machines on our rather large campus.

    Why don't we just ask the aliens that are already established on the moon what they use for a power source?
