  1. Re:Money... on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1

    Who cares? All my Windows Machines are pirated anyway so what is the difference?

    The whole point of encryption is making it so that sending your stuff over somebody else's wire doesn't let them know what it is.

    This!

    cpunks:cpunks has been working fine... CP's not dead ;)

    Maybe not dead, but Keanu Reaves did what he could to kill it!

    If you can follow directions, you can get the RALUS working. If you can't you prolly should not be playing with linux boxen in the first place.

    has also been doing this for the past two days.

  8. Re:The whole thing is silly on Windows 7 Licensing a "Disaster" For XP Shops · · Score: 1

    That is the way DARPA designed it to be. What, you thought engineers back then actually got some?

  9. Oh, that is clever!! on Battlestar Galactica's Last Days · · Score: 1

    I hate how it is so trendy for writer/directors/producers to make such vibrant commentary on political issues. Granted most directors I have met, (with the rare exception of Donald Bellisario) have been liberal, pot-scarred, hippies. Sadly I have come to expect this type of bullshit.

  10. Re:No Seriously on Canadian Groups Call For Massive Net Regulation · · Score: 0, Troll

    Blame Canada

    Why not. It's been proven socialism doesn't work, yet they continually try to implement policies just like this. It's like prescribing leeches to an Anemic.

  11. Re:start small on IT Job Without a Degree? · · Score: 1

    Oh, BS (not the degree).

    Degrees don't mean near as much as the people that have them would like you to think.

    I spent 8 years in the navy learning how to use analytical thinking. Yes, I worked as a Machinist's Mate in the engineroom. In the bilge. On Nuclear Reactors. But you know what? I had the exact same training the Electricians and the Electronics Techs did. The ONLY difference was that they had a couple more WEEKS of special training than we did in their particular emphasis.

    If you take an interest in something, excell at it, and really love it (like the computer field), you can go anywhere you'd like. VERY FEW of my friends have any computer certifications or even degrees. And yes, most of them make far more than you need to to live. And ALL of them make enough to have their wife stay at home with the kids.

    So, go out, find a good entry level job in the company you want, and work your way up like the rest of us did. Just show passion and interest. If you don't, you'll stay where you should. But if you show interest and heart, you'll go far.

    Go for it!

    Oh come on! Everyone knows the Navy is only good for transporting Marines!

  12. This is good... on New Asimov Movies Coming · · Score: 5, Insightful

    As long as Will Smith isn't in any more of them. Between Independence Day, I Robot, and I am Legend I think he has saturated this market enough.

    Their name is Apple. How can they NOT be environmentally friendly?

  14. Great!!!! on Scientists Identify a Potentially Universal Mechanism of Aging · · Score: 1

    This works out perfectly!! I was hoping to work my crappy job and have my kids mooch of me for centuries!!

  15. My son does fine at three. on Computer For a Child? · · Score: 1

    When my son turned three I taught him to use a trackball to surf thomas the train YouTube Videos. Granted sometimes context menus comeup and he says "Daddy I'm Stuck." I feel exposing him this early is good. I bought a Dell Mini9 for Christmas(for myself) and I going to see how he does with. The Mini9 construction is pretty solid, but my main concern is him dropping it or his 1-year old brother pushing it off a table or something. Another problem I have had is some of the youtube videos are less than appropriate for pre-schoolers.. (Just do a youtube search for Thomas the Tank Engine Rap) I think as long as it is in a place where he can't drop it, and you monitor what he gets into that it is a great idea.

  16. And the worst timing ever award goes to... on NVIDIA's $10K Tesla GPU-Based Personal Supercomputer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    While the inner nerd in me screams to take out a loan against my house to buy one, I can't imagine this being very popular outside academia. Most users don't use the power of their crappy computers, let alone this. And then there is the whole "ECONOMY" thing.

  18. NASA's Real Problem on Hubble Upgraded; NASA's Future Not So Bright · · Score: 1

    I have worked at one of NASA's field centers for over a year and a half. I was amazed, when I first started workin there, how many managers there are. There are at least three managers for every employee, which are mostly reduant anyway.
    If we ever want to anywhere with NASA, we need some type of Management reform. Hopefully, that's where O'Kefee will come in.
