  1. FSM on Mount St. Helens Eruption Baffles Scientists · · Score: 2, Funny

    As a matter of faith and belief, of course I believe that His Noodly Appendage rests firmly behind these unexplained lava flows at Mt. Saint Helens.

    But as a scientist, I have to ask, "Has anyone seen Godzilla lately? He doesn't seem to be in Japan."

    The only thing that it offers you is more headroom if you suddenly need to use your USB arc-welder.

    I have a PoE arc welder, you insensitive clod.

    The wattage specification has to do with the current that is going IN to the PSU.

    So, that's 1000 watts @ 110 -120 V = 8.3 Amps, meaning you can have two on one 20 Amp circuit.

    The Cisco PSU only gives the full 4200 Watts when fed by two 220 volt circuits. That's 4200 w @ 440 Volts = 9.54 Amps

    Check the specs. Do the math. W=VA (A bastardization of Ohm's law, I'm told.)

    You might have a point, but I don't think it even got that far. The No Child Left Behind Act is failing because it was completely under-funded. Compassionate Conservatism and $1.85 will get you a Grande cup of Starbucks.

    Try something like this next time:

    I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you telegraph fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a telegraph . . .etc.

  21. Disease Vectors on Microsoft Ends IE on the Mac · · Score: 1

    The market share of a browser has nothing to do with it's vulnerability, but it has everything to do with how fast a worm propagates, and thus how fast it can take out all or large portions of a network. This is a major problem with the computing world's monolithic dependence on Redmond. If there was an even spread, say 30% Windows, 30% Linux, and 30% Mac, virus and worm propagation would be much slower, and damage control would be easier, quicker, and more effective. This hold true both within organizations and on the larger internet.

    Who are you calling a Jap, you Chink? =) (For some reason I got called "Chink" a lot growing up. I hope no one called you a Jap.)

    If nothing else, this slashdot story (the one at the top of the page) and many of the ensuing comments show how ignorant, racist, ethnocentric and xenophobic many of our slashdotters are.

    But you know what I found disgusting? The last sentence of the story:

    Only in Japan could this be thought less risky than having a compassionate Filipina drop by for a chat.

    WTF? I'm going to stop reading the comments after this post. Some of the people here are just pathetic.

    Yes, workplaces tend to have different customs. Usually nothing stops you from taking your shoes off when at your desk, however.
