  1. Re:Return of the Flat File on How Prevalent Are SQL Injection Vulnerabilities? · · Score: 1

    Isn't that called XML?

  2. There's a whole website for Lucas Bashing on George Lucas To Quit Movie Business · · Score: 2, Informative

    Care to guess what it is?

    Yep, http://www.hanshootsfirst.org/

  3. Re:iTunes for 64 bit Processing? on Apple Announces iTunes 7, Movies, Set-Top Box · · Score: 1

    Yeah? Try it.

    The installer stops you and tells you it won't install on 64 bit OSes. This may have been true with older distros, but it's not now.

  4. iTunes for 64 bit Processing? on Apple Announces iTunes 7, Movies, Set-Top Box · · Score: 1

    I noticed Apple was mum on iTunes for 64 bit processing. Which is too bad, because I really miss having iTunes since I upgraded to WinXP 64... especially since it means using Windows Media Player (**shudder**).

  5. Re:Clean room on Overly Sanitized Environments Lead to Poor Health? · · Score: 1

    I used to work in a cleanroom too. Every year, hay fever season would come, and I would try to work as long as possible in there. It was great to go in with itch eyes, runny nose, and nasal drip, only an hour or so later to be free of all symptoms. Wonderful. Man I miss the cleanroom.

    Coding in cleanroom, now that elevated my geekiness factor by at least 5.

  6. Re:Modern 2D Games on New Super Mario Bros. Review · · Score: 1

    I totally agree. Take Worms... loved, absolutely loved that game, but they had to make it 3D. Completely ruined the game.

    I might have to dust off Worms World Party tonight... great game.

  7. I've got an aimbot for... on Retro Gaming Hacks · · Score: 2, Funny

    I've got an aimbot for Asteriods if anyone's interested.

  8. Re:Couldn't agree more on some points on Spafford On Security Myths and Passwords · · Score: 1

    I guarantee:

    After the user click "Choose a new password" 10 times, didn't like any of them. Out of sheer frustration, they finally just selected one, about 1.2 seconds later, they wrote that password down on a post-it note. Where their new password is proudly displayed on their monitor.

    There's secure, and then there's stupid. This falls into the latter. No average user will be able to remember some machine generated pword.

  9. Re:Poppycock! on Why Game Movies Stink · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Mortal Kombat... good movie"

    I'm so glad there was a period between those two statements.

    Instead of a period, I could suggest:
    -Was not a
    -Far from
    -No where near

  10. Re:This has been happening for years .. . . . on Wal-Mart Controls Modern Game Design? · · Score: 1

    And of course Nirvana's In Utero... I mean c'mon "Waif me"?

  11. Only as long as Chuck Norris lets them on Is the Physical CD Still A Viable Market? · · Score: 2, Funny

    as soon as Chuck decides he bought his last... it's all over.

  12. Re:Coral Cache on Top 10 Strangest MP3 Players · · Score: 1

    Good deal. Thanks for the tip. Went right through my corp's firewall.

  13. Re:Leonard Nimoy said it best on Overwhelming Bureaucracy in the IT Department? · · Score: 1

    Boy, and how!

    That Nimoy, is a veritable cornucopia of great and memorable quotes.

    I'm sure if I were Leonard, I probably could say something memorable right now.

  14. Leonard Nimoy said it best on Overwhelming Bureaucracy in the IT Department? · · Score: 1

    "The bureaucracy is growing to meet the needs of the growing bureaucracy."

    -Leonard Nimoy

    Or warrants.

  16. Re:"Help" him cheat with bad answers on Your Best Exam Stories? · · Score: 1

    Link so we can join in your joy?

  17. Clue Please? on Cameras Online? How The Shysters Work · · Score: 1

    Years ago I bought a Minolta Dig Camera from a Brooklyn dealer via CNet. I was curious how/why they were able to price the camera a good $100 less than Fry's Electronics. Low, the camera shows up, it's the genuine article. New and US region bound.

    Can someone explain how these guys operate? And whether they're as shady as many seem.

  18. For the convenience of Jaimie and Adam on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    Jaimie and Adam for all those that endlessly complain about the lack of hard science and that god aweful complaint about the whole AC vs. windows down, I thought you might find this useful:

    You know, before I answer any more questions there's something I wanted to say. Having received all your letters over the years, and I've spoken to many of you, and some of you have traveled... y'know... hundreds of miles to be here, I'd just like to say... GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show!

    BTW, my four year old daughter and I love your show. I miss the early years, before you started censoring ingredients and blurring signs, shirts, etc.

  19. Ah... a brethren spirit on Neal Stephenson on Star Wars in the NYT · · Score: 1

    Yep, that's what HanShootsFirst.org is all about...

  20. Re:This is Old News on Cold Fusion in a Breadbox Instead of a Bottle · · Score: 1

    No one cares. It's a dupe, dupes happen, get over it. While I admire your proficient use of links, get over it. Dupes happen.

  21. Re:LCD? No thanks! on Are CRTs History? · · Score: 1

    True all true... 5 YEARS AGO!

  22. Re:And its no HUGE breakthrough on battery life. on Samsung Announces Flash-Based Disk Drive · · Score: 1

    Already working on it.

  24. Obligatory thread on AMD Demonstrates Linux-Based PDA at LinuxWorld · · Score: 1

    This has become something of an obligatory thread, for those curious where it all began. Where /. started. Although 1969 is hard to believe, but nonetheless, it is the first /. post.

    I have made the /. pilgrimage, I have come to mountain, Muhammad is not here.
