  5. Re:I believe he has had only one really good book on Prey · · Score: 1

    I thought Rising Sun was pretty good. I enjoyed reading it. Congo, on the other hand, was simply horrid.

  6. Re:My new resume on How To Get Hired As An Open Source Developer · · Score: 1

    Now all that's left is to create a ton of web pages that link to your resume. Tah-Dah! You're on top of the Google search, right where Mr. Ticketmaster can "passively" find you.

  7. Re:Absolutely! on Has Software Development Improved? · · Score: 1

    If Perl had an IDE that was as easy to use it would dominate the world. (more than it already does)

    How about Visual Perl from ActiveState?

  12. Re:That is nothing on New Tadpole SPARCbook RSN · · Score: 1

    Hmm... How about Mobile Multics? You could be the envy of historically minded geeks everywhere.

  13. Zen-ish Windows Error on Gnarly Error Messages · · Score: 1

    I once got an error in Windows that had no text at all. The window just had the little round red circle with the "X" in it. No OK or Cancel buttons, no title, nothing at all. Is this sound of one hand computing?

  14. Re:Of course not... on Ballmer Sees Free Software as Enemy No. 1 · · Score: 1

    from the no-comment-on-enemy-number-two dept.

    If free software is enemy #1, I guess shareware is enemy #2. Lookout WinZip!

  15. Unfortunately... on Phoenix 0.2 Web Browser: Lean, Mean Mozilla · · Score: 4, Funny

    My Phoenix never rose from the ashes. I'm apparently a version of Libc behind. (Oddly enough, I'm posting this using Mozilla 1.2.)

    Ahem.
  21. Re:Stupid people. on If You Hack NBC, You Don't Get to Meet Tom Brokaw · · Score: 1

    I think his previous "victims" did exactly this. He appears to avoid prosecution by helping IT departments secure their proxies for free. I'm not sure about the NYT, but I'm pretty sure WorldCom went this route.

  22. Re:What's next? on Warflying: San Diego · · Score: 1

    Extreme WarBiking!

    "Wow! Fred just did an awesome 540, and discovered 3 unencrytped WAPs at the same time!"

  23. Re:Taco, Google. Google, Taco. on Recycling The First World, in the Third · · Score: 1

    If you are in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, Resource Concepts will take your old PC equipment. They attempt to refurbish and sell items that still work, and they can safely recycle items that don't.
