  1. Re:Now how many people will actually buy one? on Mandrake Hits Wal-Mart(.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm sure that they are. No worries.

  2. Seven Circles on Computer Room Design? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think there is a rather nice classic example in Dante's Inferno, although that may have very well been a Microsoft Shop. Servers should be (ignoring hardware issues) administered via ssh from nice, comfortable office chairs down the hall. I would be more worried about cooling/venting/security issues than whether or not pc repair and servers can coexist in a small area... our setup is like that and its quite silly.

  3. Andover, ME? on Live Via Satellite · · Score: 3, Funny

    Andover? I thought Andover went under?

  4. Re:Rather foolish on Danish Court Rules Deep Linking Illegal · · Score: 1

    Shrug. Someone will patch their web browser to always return "www.somedomain.com" as the referrer when asking for a page like "www.somedomain.com/whatever/whatever". I might do it myself.

  5. Re:NAZIWARE vs. SLAVEWARE on Coursey on Palladium · · Score: 1

    I would have to concede that Nazi is probably closer to what we would all consider the problem here. In the world of spin, however, it would never be taken seriously.

    Also, "slave" is a word that better illustrates a lack of freedom specifically, without carrying a political agenda of any kind along with it.

  6. Re:NAZIWARE on Coursey on Palladium · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Slaveware" would probably be more apt. It has all of the connotations, with none of the reactionary bs associated with it. And it fits.

  7. fsshd post on OpenSSH Vulnerability Disclosed, Version 3.4 Released · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    see? that was funny, eh?

  8. Re:did anybody check on Satellite Back From The Dead · · Score: 1

    What does simple mail transfer protocol have to do with anything?

  9. Re:usefullness? on Blocking Instant Messengers? · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the fact that when you are *working* with text, its more effective to shoot text back and forth rather than via a phone. For instance.. a url, or a bit of code without the hassle of email.

  10. Re:amazing! on North Dakota Voters Reject 'opt-out' Law · · Score: 1

    Heh. North!

  11. Re:Non Sci-Fi / Non Geeky? on What's on Your Summer 2002 Reading List? · · Score: 1

    Slaughterhouse Five or Mother Night would both be excellent choices.

  12. Re:It's not on Is the Universe its own Largest Computer? · · Score: 1

    The Earth is just the Universe's 42 register. Although it would have to be a very odd addressing scheme to make that practical, the gods have rarely been known for their practicality.

  13. Captain Obvious on Milky Way Leaves Devastation in its Wake · · Score: 1

    Err, of course? (We've all seen the screen saver, at least). Galaxies are physical objects, they obey physical rules. I actually saw a photograph of exactly this (colliding galaxies) some 15 years ago?

  14. Re:Our Policy on Passwords May Be Weakest Link · · Score: 1

    5 * [a-zA-Z0-9] + symbols is a *far* easier thing to fully brute force than 8. I wouldn't trust that minimum at all.

  15. Jobs? on Ask Alan Cox, Activist · · Score: 1

    Do you have any job opportunities for former child-star and occaisonal actor Wil Wheaton?

  16. Cliche` on Mini Microbes · · Score: 1

    The question is, of course, what kinds of sports cars do these teeny-weenies drive? This sort of discovery is just what we need in order to advance the art of italian roadster design boldly into the 21st century (at long last).

  17. Re:I know what I would do... on Paintable LCDs · · Score: 1

    Well, what about people that view you from the side? Or from behind but up 10 feet? It would work wonderfully in two dimensions, but it breaks down in three, unless you actively know where your pursuer is.

  18. Re:eh? on Linux "is not piracy" Says Microsoft Lawyer · · Score: 1
    For a spirit who is the one and only, he really seems to have an ego problem at times, no? "Thou shalt have no other gods before me", etc, seems to imply more negative consequences for other 'gods' than worshiping no god at all.

    I realize that I can't assign modern language patterns to the bible either, but if it were written as such today, I would take the assignment of a formal name to the other diety as a pretty strong indication acknowledging his existence. There is nothing in that passage to indicate the bibles endorsement or lack thereof of this other god... its all up to the assumptions of the reader.

  19. Re:eh? on Linux "is not piracy" Says Microsoft Lawyer · · Score: 1

    OK: Judges 16:23 "Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand. "

  20. .org != non-profit on ICANN Wants $35,000 From Dot-org Wannabes · · Score: 1

    An 'organization' is simply that. There is no nonprofit implication in the .org tld, other than the implied 'non-commercial' nature of it not being a .com. There is no reason that a non-profit has any more right to run this tld than anyone else.

  21. Re:Linux IS Unix on $24.5 Million Linux Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Don't forget, with Interix, Win2000 is Unix.

  22. Re:Read the Article (RTA) on 'Virtual' Child Porn Act Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    Dollars to donuts says that if you start telling people to RTFA, they won't have to look it up.

  23. Re:Tell you what on Rare Earth · · Score: 1
    Right. That was merely a counterexample to the 'if the bible doesn't say it outright it must not be true' school of thought.

    I'd have to be a believer already to even begin to buy the hooey I put up in the previous post.

  24. Re:How about a game that's only mods? on Mods: "Lifeblood of Gaming Industry"? · · Score: 2, Informative

    well, there's "crystal space", which comes damn close to what you are after

  25. Re:Tell you what on Rare Earth · · Score: 1
    On the first day....(etc etc)... seventh day he rested.

    (Several tens of thousands of years of silence, depending on your bible's timeline)

    You do the division.
