  1. The Caliber Of Equipment on Best Motherboards With Large RAM Capacity? · · Score: 0

    You probably need to be using a proper workstation setup or server set up. You certainly need to be looking at utility computing for such a mission critical process. I'd look at buying a workstation (or maybe even a small blade system) with VMware and Unix/Linux, then dedicating it to exactly what you're needing to do. When you're juggling a whole universe of information, you really need something reliable with redundancy. Not something you're editing word docs, or playing Doom on. Windows is not the OS for you. A SOHO motherboard isn't the answer.

  2. Re:"Imaginary" property rights? on Report Says 36.4% of World's Computers Infringe on IP · · Score: 0

    I don't give a fuck if you make a copy of it with your own materials.

  3. Practical Application on Numerically Approximating the Wave Equation? · · Score: 0

    I like to line up three cameras and synchronize two watches, then pee on bunnies. Unfortunately they usually scamper away...dirtying up all the evidence. I guess I could sedate them...but I laugh when they scamper away.
    That's why I failed lab.

  4. Nice on Armed Police Bots with Stun Guns · · Score: 0

    I can't wait to go to Arizona and threaten, fool, reprogram, and infect with a viral upgrade, my own robot from America. Can we reprogram it to taser cops who beat people? That would be one fine robot. It would certainly make the world a less meat headed place. And isn't that what we all want? (Except for the meat heads?) I dunno. But I like the idea anyway.

  5. The problem with Property on First Nations Want Cellphone Revenue · · Score: 0

    This is why property becomes such a problem. When we're buying the air for a good cause, corporations will suck up the air and sell it to us now that it has become a commodity. (e.g. water) Soon the law is there to make sure we pay for the right to suck up the air, and pay waste disposal for exhaling, and taxes on it all. Not to say to some degree we're not already there. Everything's really not for sale. We just pretend it is, and enforce the idea. Who didn't realize it would become so problematic?
    The world she is becoming a sad place.

  6. Nikola Tesla Invented this already on Wireless Power Now A Reality · · Score: 1

    I think Tesla demonstrated this technology on a large scale in New York in the late 1800's/early 1900's. It never got implemented because sending this much energy through things, like brains, can lead to things like cooked brains. Wireless energy. How very retro. Like stealing ideas for profit. Some ideas never grow old.

  7. Site Content Filtering on UK Teachers Say Censor The Internet · · Score: 1

    I think this sort of thing should be censored at the local level. If you don't want kids to access these sort of sites at school, use a proxy server. If you want to make the site responsible for the content posted which could be viewed at home, well, maybe you should thank them for helping you bust the little rascal. Perhaps you simply don't think that way though. I believe there's a club or something you could join. All you have to do is fail a basic ethics exam.

  8. expat on If Not America, Then Where? · · Score: 1

    I moved from Jonesboro, Ar to Australia where I was a network engineer. I don't work harder but I get much more recognition, and am no longer raped by conservative Christian nazis. Yay!

  9. Re:Apple Buys Adobe on Cringely Posits Adobe's Purchase by Apple · · Score: 1

    The answer is confused. Adobe purchased Macromedia.

  10. Apple Buys Adobe on Cringely Posits Adobe's Purchase by Apple · · Score: 1

    I thought that Macromedia had already bought Adobe. Surely they're not letting it go. Either me or everyone else is A. Confused. B. Misinformed. I dunno. I'm ready to accept either hypothesis on both sides of the equation.

  11. Mutually assure destruction on How About a Nice Game of Global Thermonuclear War? · · Score: 1

    Well, we've had a good run. We've began reaching out into space and some of us are still interested in continuing on, but I just don't see it happening. Goodbye individuality, goodbye clean air and water. Goodbye mind. Goodbye humanity. It really was starting to look good there for awhile.

  12. Piracy is not quite theft. on Software Piracy Seen as Normal · · Score: 1

    If I could take a Jaguar, and the original purchaser would never percieve any repercussions, and the manufacturer would never find any parts missing, I would be bling bling. Awww yeah. (Hoping I could register it somewhere.) There is a difference. You can say there's not, but you're spewing corporate rhetoric. We can't make a weak analogy and say the same rules apply. Information is something which could be given away, but isn't. It is a commodity. But only if both parties agree and are willing to participate in the concept. Those who know how will get it for free. But saying that 'in reality' it's a tangible item when it is not is simply some sort of shared madness. I think the problem is that, amazingly, we haven't yet quite defined what software is. People work to create it and expect some compensation, as do the corporate entities their sweat blood and tears are often exploited by. What are we left with? We lack a system to deal with software. It's dealt with as a tangible object, and that simply won't do. It is an intangible. I could create it. I could remove it from my HDD without any real effort. If it's tangible then we are all magicians. Even the script kiddies.

  13. Tangibles for Time on Best Results From Bartering Computer Services? · · Score: 1

    I once worked 10 Tech hours and received a Kawasaki 454 (4 Cylinder) in excellent condition. That was cool.

  14. Everybody be down on da little man on Should ISPs Be The Little Man's Firewall? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't this prevent people from running remote services, (e.g. XP Remote desktop, VNC...) I'm sure there's ways to circumvent a ISP based firewall, but it seems the little man would be blocked out of this technology. It just seems to me it's another justification for limitations. If it's raised because of viruses like blaster, then isn't this a permanent solution to a temporary problem?

  15. Security Reasons on Desert Robot Race Update, With Video · · Score: 1

    Wondering why the horizon was so cheesily photoshopped. Do they not want to reveal the TRUE location. (eerie Twilight Zone music plays in the background.)
