  1. Mars on Russian Group Plans Manned Mars Mission By 2011 · · Score: 1

    Sounds like they read Mars, by Ben Bova, recently. :P

    Good luck to 'em.

  2. Re:Why wait? on Gartner Recommends Holding Onto The SCO Money · · Score: 1

    Solaris.

  3. Re:Canada-Runs! on Canada Immune From RIAA? · · Score: 1

    Canada: 9,976,140 sq km

    USA: 9,629,091 sq km

    Looks like Canada is about 335,000 sq km bigger than the USA. (Or about 3.5% bigger.)

  4. Re:Moment of silence on Deregulation and Niagara Mohawk - Is There a Story? · · Score: 1

    And those real geek's networks go down. Natural gas is one of the first thing shut off in emergency situations.

    Smart geeks use diesel. Cheap, readily available, doesn't get shut down by the fire marshall in an emergency.

  5. Re:Exploits et al., on Exploit Available for Cisco IOS Vulnerability · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's also a shame we have to pat ourselves on the back a lot on slashdot. And as long as you're not bragging about $10k bonuses, make sure to not tell us how you didn't spend it on the EFF and FSF. ;-)

  6. Re:Overated on Major Strike on Iraq Underway · · Score: 1

    Naw:

    "War is the application of force to achieve political goals."

    dunno who said that...

    All presidents are liars, and if you think otherwise, you're fooling yourself. That job requires the ability to lie.

  8. Re:At the Highway of Madness on South Pole to Get Highway · · Score: 1

    I knew someone would bring that up. ;-)

    If I had modpoints, you'd get them. Go lovecraft. woo. ;-)

    Oh, and Nyarlathotep says, "Hi."

  9. Re:Hack a computer, spend life in prison. on HomeSec In the News · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well, it's very important to have the punishment fit the crime. After all, killing people deserves like 5 years in prison, whereas r00ting a box deserves what, life?

    Clearly, the punishment fits the crime.

    Enjoy. :)

  11. Re:Community WiFis on Pittsburgh Launches Large, Free, Public WiFi Network · · Score: 1

    As someone who dwells "north of Seattle," I am curious to know what city it is that you mean. I've done the 802.11 game before, so I know some of the issues at hand.

    Very interesting.

  12. Re:Corrupting the youth, and other crimes on Greene's Grammy Speech Debunked · · Score: 2, Informative

    It is in reference to the method by which Socrates was executed. Read "The Death of Socrates."

    Arn't the classics fun?
