    Ah, so the stylists of the 70s were on to something!

    I see only one problem with full body suits. Here, you can see it too:

    We're not that great. Get over yourself. ;-)

  4. Re:This is going to hurt on Steam Registration Servers Overloaded · · Score: 2, Funny

    You might say that the Fallout from the Half-Life 2 launch might cast a pall similar to a Nuclear Winter on future releases from the company?

  5. Re:file size limitation?!? on Largest Digital Photograph in the World · · Score: 1

    Got BFS?

  6. Re:Open source != gpl. Let the license wars begin! on Ekush: A CherryOS For the Windows World? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Actually, with BSD, one of your only requirements is to give credit to the original creator. No royalties necessary, though.

  7. Re:oppression of oppression of technology. on The Real da Vinci Code · · Score: 1

    It's right up there with PHP and JSP. :)

  8. Re:Sales cycle takes time, effort, contact on NHS Awards Contract to Microsoft · · Score: 1

    SCO.

  9. Re:Better Parachutes? on Physicists Finally Solve the Falling-Paper Problem · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, it's easy ... just fold it about nine times and it should fit.

  10. Re:Categories that Ken lost on... on They Killed Ken! · · Score: 4, Funny

    He has a wife. He has 1.3 million dollars (and going). I think he at least knows how to please a woman. :)

  11. Re:My Favourite Pony on Day in the Life of the Internet Storm Center · · Score: 1

    Try it, they have a free demo. Try and see if you can break it (let me know if you can :)).

    Assume that a competent system administrator has already disabled floppy/cd-rom booting and password-protected the bios. For the annoying people in a public place ("Ooh! Bonzai Buddy!"), that would be sufficient to prevent almost all malware.

  12. My Favourite Pony on Day in the Life of the Internet Storm Center · · Score: 4, Informative

    An invaluable tool for PCs that are "public access" or even boot-partitions of computers at work:

    DeepFreeze

    Just one reboot, and any malware infection is obliterated. (There are alternatives, too, but I like DeepFreeze the best)

  13. Re:Reminds me of my job... on "Scotty" Gets Walk of Fame Star · · Score: 1

    True, but romulan ale can keep you company on those lonely nights ...

    (as an aside, ALL GLORY TO THE BeOS!)

  14. Re:Nothing wrong with this... on Searching For Trouble With Google · · Score: 1

    I think horses are a bad example ... As far as I know, they're fairly interbreedable ... I think even with the zebra. I guess a bigger difference would be between deer and horses, or horses and lions.

  15. Re:Reminds me of my job... on "Scotty" Gets Walk of Fame Star · · Score: 1

    But scotty was always the one with the stash of the very rare Romulan Ale.

  16. Re:Anyone else switching off in the UK? on The IOC's 'Clean Venue' Policy · · Score: 1

    Oh boy, can't wait for the first corporation-controlled country now ... There is no government, there is only uber-Braun.

  17. Re:and then there's this on Gravitation Anomaly Measured · · Score: 1

    addendum: Wikipedia commentary on the subject (and a moment ago, wikipedia's main page was modified to show a moderately obscene image on the front page ...)

  18. and then there's this on Gravitation Anomaly Measured · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The next generation of penis enlargement spam:

    The Oregon Vortex (for those who don't know, it's a visual anomaly ... could be fake, but I haven't heard either way)

    Excuse me, but my mother can't afford an E-Machine.

  21. Bah! on South Pole Research Station Hacked Twice · · Score: 3, Funny

    Purposefully insecure? That's the silliest thing I've ever heard. And I've heard it often. :)

    There must be SOME technology (VPNs, as previously mentioned, perhaps) that can make it both easy and secure?

    Heck, if they'll buy me the books and fly me down there, I'll fix it myself.

  22. blargh on TransGaming Tagging Downloads to Combat Piracy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Come on people, is it really THIS important to protect stuff?

    Why not focus on a service-based business model, like the MMORPG setup?

    One-off profits are nowhere near as lucrative as service contracts, after all.

    Pshaw, software fingerprinting protection is just silly ...

    Uhm ... didn't you just confess to a federal crime?

    Saying that being against piracy is being against sharing is exactly the same sort of BS that organizations like the RIAA use is exactly the same sort of BS that organizations like the RIAA use.
