  1. if I were to own a rogue DNS server on Number of Rogue DNS Servers on the Rise · · Score: 0, Redundant

    how the heck would I ever get anyone to use it? Most are set by DHCP from your ISP, and they usually run their own DNS.... and I certainly wouldn't use one randomly....

  2. so.... on Titan's Organics Surpass Oil Reserves on Earth · · Score: 2, Interesting

    if all our stuff supposedly came from dead dinosaurs, what does this mean?

  3. if only there were some way to remove metadata on Canon Files For DSLR Iris Registration Patent · · Score: 4, Funny

    like maybe the print screen button

  4. This guy really knows what he's talking about on Next Year's Laws, Now Out In Beta! · · Score: 2, Funny

    or he's on meth. Possibly both. Either way I can't tell.

  5. Re:For those who don't know who on Live Blogs From the Hans Reiser Trial · · Score: 1

    Also, the internet is not so much like a truck but more like a series of tubes.

  6. don't know mr. reiser on Live Blogs From the Hans Reiser Trial · · Score: 1

    but this doesn't sound good

    When you give me a hard stare and (inaudible) that you are very good at combat, your request that I drop domestic-violence charges against you, it very much sounds like another threat
    snip
    You don't need to prove to me that you are a strong man. I never questioned that.


    telling your wife you're good at combat? lol. I can almost imagine this as the comic book guy saying it.... and the marines are good at combat, hans reiser probably not so much.

  7. temporary fix on One Step Closer to IPv6 · · Score: 2, Funny

    just switch to IPv5 until things get sorted out

  8. Re:sports and religion? on Thou Shalt Not View The Super Bowl on a 56" Screen · · Score: 1

    ... i know, i was just being a bit stereotypical. I had a college football scholarship. I wasn't _that_ good tho, so I went the brains route instead.

  9. sports and religion? on Thou Shalt Not View The Super Bowl on a 56" Screen · · Score: 2, Insightful

    on my slashdot? it may be more likely than i think. seriously though, here's a story about 2 very non-geek things apparently in conflict with each other. weird.

  10. so humor is now reality? on Microsoft Releases Specs for Binary Formats · · Score: 3, Funny
  11. I resemble that on Y2K38 Watch Starts Saturday · · Score: 1

    I was an over-priced consultant in the Y2K bug era and it was definitely a resounding success because nothing happened, due to the hard work of an assload of people.

  12. is there a way on What is the Future of Wireless Power? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    to transfer power wirelessly without cooking whatever happens to pass inbetween the sender and receiver?

  15. Re:First investment on How Would You Design Your Dream Office? · · Score: 1

    funny, that stuff doesn't bother me in the least. maybe i'm broken.

  16. I have information underload on Information Overload Predicted Problem of the Year for 2008 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    At my job I quit checking voice mail and only read emails once or twice a day. Sure does piss off management but it makes my life easier.

  17. Re:Nuclear power on Kite-Powered Ship Launched · · Score: 1

    If they were nuclear powered they really would have no need for a kite whatsoever.

  22. Re:An enlisted perspective. on How Tech Almost Lost the War · · Score: 1

    I don't know of any government that has successfully imposed democracy on another country.

    Really? America imposed democracy onto Germany and Japan following WW2 and it worked quite well.

  23. headline is kind of cool on Google, Sun Headed for Showdown Over Android · · Score: 3, Funny

    A number which is 10 followed by 100 zeros in a cage match against a hydrogen fusion reactor which accounts for 99.8% of the mass of our solar system. The whole thing happened over a misunderstanding regarding a robot designed to have human features.

  24. ... May not be as simple as it seems on Trojan Found In New HDs Sold In Taiwan · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why would the Chinese government do something so obvious? And the drives were sold in Taiwan? Given the relationship between the Chinese and the Taiwanese... it seems more like this was _meant_ to be found in order to destabilize the Taiwan economy more than to do any sort of real information gathering... if the Chinese government wanted to gather information I'm sure they could and would be far more covert than this... and compared to the other systems they surely have in place this is nothing.....

    This is not as simple as it seems I think but instead is meant to be discovered in order to produce reactions similar to many of the posts I have read so far

    Just a guess tho, but there's more going on here than is in this story

  25. they're putting this up in my area right now! on Municipal Wi-Fi - A Promise Unfulfilled? · · Score: 0, Troll

    haven't heard a thing about it in the news anywhere, but all these access points are coming up 'city of minneapolis' and 'minneapolis wifi' and such, they have great signal strength but are flaky as hell (network/router errors and such, not wifi connection problems) - my guess is they're testing. ...every few blocks or so, on a telephone pole there's these coffee can looking things that have 2 antennas, they've been putting them up over the last few months... I figured they were shot spotters but now with the APs on I'm guessing thats the wifi. haven't heard it on the evening news or in the strib.

    its way faster than the neighbor's connections i've been using

    promise fulfilled here, so far anyways
