    Fair enough, you certainly have more of a clue than I.

  2. Re:SACTA on Power Grid Insecurities Examined · · Score: 1


    But that is my point. I believe the network uses buried fiber optics, cables, and wireless on the skeletons towers. Fiber not easy to tap into but the others...

  3. Drivel on Microsoft to Build High School in Philadelphia, PA · · Score: 1

    Everytime a article is posted about MS,
    the average poster drops about 20 IQ points and all objectivity is lost.

    The real stuff MS needs to be slammed about is lost in all this noise. Reminds of a story about a boy and a wolf...

    And why is that a waste?

    No, I am not.
    Now why would you say such a thing.

  6. SACTA on Power Grid Insecurities Examined · · Score: 1

    I believe the protocol used to manage this stuff is SCATA or something like that. I also believe that it's security model is quite like telnet.

    I have heard they were going to beef up their security but I wonder if they ever did.

  7. Re:Quality on Need Milk? Get Yourself A Supercow. · · Score: 1

    I am curious what in your opinion would be high, average, low quality milk?

  8. Games too Hard on Sin And Punishment In Games · · Score: 1

    I think they have to make games much harder, because people can save so often.

    There used to be a a sense of fear afraid you would die, now it seems you play to see how to avoiding dying.

  9. Re:Market effects on Diamonds & the RIAA · · Score: 1

    Follow the sapphire market in the 70s I expect diamonds to be similar, expect that computer needs may keep the prices up a little.

    Give the woman a $1,000 tin ring and she will just think you are idiot.

    It's does matter what it is worth not what you spent. And when diamonds plummet...

  11. Re:Here's the stupid thing about this on Diamonds & the RIAA · · Score: 1

    I agree, but they are still rare.

    Water is rare in the desert because the poeple can't easily get to it.

  12. Re:of diamonds and women on Diamonds & the RIAA · · Score: 1

    They are not artifical diamonds, in fact they are more diamond that mined diamonds

    I know that's not the point of your statement. :-)

    >It is a specialised OS with some interesting ideas, many of which are being backported to the stinking corpse that is unix.

    Care to eloborate? You lack tact but serious I am curious as to how plan9 is better than unix(which is some cases I believe it is)?

  14. Plan9 vs Unix on Other Web Browsers for Bell Labs' Plan 9? · · Score: 1

    Can some Plan9 knowledgable person give us a run-down?

    Major differences good and bad over unix?

    I am not worried about current software and hardware support, but rather an overall picture of the us.

    Yes, I have read the web-site.

    You are an utter idiot.

  16. Hate to break it to ya on Windows Is 'Insecure By Design,' Says Washington Post · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    But Unix is insecure by design also.

    Maybe not as bad as Windows, but still.

    How many times I have I told you, Don't respond to idiot BSD trolls.

    Though you are probably right.

  19. Re:OK, so I'm a mildly tolerant atheist... on Looking For God In Videogames · · Score: 1

    Odd, as a religious person with some atheist friends, they always seem to find me quite interesting and ask some excellent questions.
    I find them to be not hostile but rather curious
    about my beliefs and such.
    My favorite question is
    "How can someone as smart as you believe in God?"

    But I am not an in your face kind of person, maybe that's makes a difference??

  20. Re:OK, so I'm a mildly tolerant atheist... on Looking For God In Videogames · · Score: 1

    I find this post hilarious.

    For years people have been saying to the religious folks that if you don't like what's on tv, radio, etc then turn it off or don't listen.

    So the same thing is happening to you but the another way around. Oh the irony!!

  22. Re:Native American Genocide on Vietnam-Based Shooters - A Suitable Topic? · · Score: 1

    Oh brother.

    Or you could have one Indian tribe completely wipe out another Indian tribe.

    Or maybe like the Incas and scrafice another tribe virgins and put the rest in slavery.

    Don't think the settlers have cornered the market on genocide or killing others.

    And with regards to genocide, most Indians died from disease bought by the settlers not from slaughter.

  23. Re:Double standard on Vietnam-Based Shooters - A Suitable Topic? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My dad also fought in Vietnam, and died from agent orange exposure years later(non-hogkins lymphoma for those interested).

    The reason Vietnam is so "disliked" is because it was/became a political war and over time the soliders figured this out.

    While I don't believe Iraq is a political war(i know many disagree no flames please), if the soliders ever started feeling this way, it could become like a Vietnam.
