  1. Peasant mobs with pitchforks and torches. on How Do You Locate That Access Point? · · Score: 1

    They tend to mess up the office and Phil from accouning got burned at the stake last time. But they do a good job, we think. It's an office tradition. Besides, I didn't like Phil that much anyway.

  2. Re:Fox News watcher are you? on Clinton To Take On Rockstar · · Score: 1

    I will concede that one, I once voted for Ron Paul. as I recall a lot of other people strangely didn't get votes in Ohio be they on the ballot or not.

  3. Rick (Hot Man on Man Action) Santorum on Clinton To Take On Rockstar · · Score: 1

    It one of the worst whores in the GOP. That Man has no restraint. He makes me wish for the days when Phil Gramm or Richard M Nixon was still around. Slimy politics is one thing but this guy just reeks.

  6. A mod or a editor is a drudge fan on NASA Scrubs Launch Due to Faulty Fuel-Tank Sensor · · Score: 1

    Somebody is downgrading anti-drudge postings. Somebody is using a lot of mod points to supress comments against drudge. Set your tin foil hats to max.

    press credential?, only one for the White House. Most people who go to the Drudge site are using only one hand to type.

  11. Sounds like a programmer joke that got left in on GTA Sex Game Debate Intensifies · · Score: 1
    Somebody at ESRB was joking around and made the game using the tools that GTA:SA was built with. While I don't feel that there was any intent to have this show in the final release even as an Easter Egg, its plausible that with code revisions and backups a deleted file could have been unintentionally returned. From a Techie point of view, both the Games creation and the oversight in it's un-removal are realistic theories. Likely the lockdown wasn't so much a lockdown as non-activatied feature.

    Once I used winRAR to explore Return to Castle Wolfenstein's assets, really simple. I was able to snag sound files of monsters and use them to scare trick-or-treating children on Halloween. Those were outside normal access but findable by a tech.

  12. Swing and a miss on Why Doesn't the Itanium Get the Respect It's Due? · · Score: 1

    should have been "mid to upper end small business market" Numbers wise Intel/Microsoft still dominates. If SUN can take a bigger bite out of M$'s SQL Server market then they will be set. Now, Linux/Mysql is starting to show big there. Why not, do it on Ultrasparc?

    Sound like Intel has admitted defeat.

  14. not as good a design as your claiming on Why Doesn't the Itanium Get the Respect It's Due? · · Score: 1

    according to geek.com "Itanium 2 processors currently consume 130 watts of power during operation, double that of any existing desktop or server processor made by Intel." beyond that they are up against a already strong market in 64 bit processors. SUN and AMD are kicking their ass in that realm. SGI's recent slippage makes them a do-or-die target for Intel to snap up.

    True, Intel needed to make the change at sometime to 64 bit, their Pentium lines only doing 32bit will eventually be dropped by everybody as 64bit becomes a standard. SUN is eyeing the entry into the larger mid to upper end business market thru Linux on Ultrasparc and AMD Opteron making a nice growth path for businesses into their bigger box server market.

  15. Bad Model on Body Scanners for the London Underground · · Score: 1

    Aside from tearing a page out of the Soviet Era Berlin wall manual, they have only treated the symptoms. Try that in NYC or London and you will see the guards shot down, not by terrorists but by regular citizens. In Israel they know where the terrorists are coming form, they hid amide a hostile populace across a border. Armed Guards and checkpoints in the USA would just be proof that BushCORP has gone too far. Neither bush nor Tony Blair has that much justification to pull it off. Boondoggle scanners in tube lines working or not is all they will be able to get away with. In a month or six, they will be quietly turned off and removed.

    The voice of the people is rarely hear, and politicians rightly fear it.

  16. several Car Batteries and a hand truck. on Mobile Battery Life Software Suggestions? · · Score: 1

    You may need some simple DC/AC conversion and a few fuses to keep them from overloading.

    Now, I didn't say it gonna be easy, but it is mobile and has a tremendous battery life.

    Kidding aside here is a article that might help off the The Register

    Microsoft Invades Cuba
    Microsoft's plan to invade cuba and overthrow the government has succeeded. One Microsoft official said "It's a win-win situation. The US Government is happy and shuts up the DOJ while Microsoft institutes a monopoly within Cuba for everything from computer software to toilet paper. One more step closer to world domination. Heck, we could feed a whole development department for the cost of one developer's salary in the US. They may not know how to create an Operating System very well, but neither do our US developers."

  21. Foot soldiers for future wars on Neanderthal Genome to be Sequenced · · Score: 1

    the distopian view is that such beings would be ideal soldiers. Intellegent, but limited. Unlike Apes (i.e. Planet of the Apes) they are proven to be not so much inferior as less adaptable. Humans would be a few steps ahead of them at every turn. Even more ironic, in uniforms they would look exactly like the enemy in German Nazi propoganda posters depicting invading Russians. Instead of Jurassic Park we would be seeing Norman Spinrad's Iron Dream come to life.
