  1. Re:remember everyone on Senate Wants Database Dragnet · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and do you know WHY they used box cutters, instead of guns or bombs? Perhaps the security of airlines has improved since the rash of hijackings in the 70s? Bah. They didn't pick box-cutters because they were a simple workaround. They took box-cutters because more effective weapons couldn't be reliably employed. Security WORKED to stop gun-toting dorks from stealing airplanes.

  2. If it hurts to poke your eye -- DON'T DO THAT! on Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only the Software · · Score: 1
    When I read THIS:
    If one wants to test software properly then you will need lots of the constraints (i.e. time and/or money). Just before a coder is testing his block, he/she will generally say something like: "I'm finished the block, just need to test it a bit more" Generally that is not what management will hear, they hear: "I'm finished"
    What I immediately think is: STOP saying "I'm finished the block"...

    IF you are not actually finished with the project, and your ninnyhammer PHB responds to any sentence with "I'm finished" in it, why on earth would you ever use those 2 words in any sentence. That's a programmer fault for sure (because they CHOSE to set the PHB "finished" flag).

  4. Re:left handed on Logitech Gives A Mouse A Laser · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Feh. I'm a lefty who mouses right-handed, so that anywhere I go, I can get the job done. Left-handed mice are like left-handed monkey wrenches-- three of us will own them, and none of us will have them with us when we need them...

  5. Re:Yet they contend cell phones are safe... on AM Radio Waves May Be Harmful? · · Score: 1

    Or you could hang up your phone, you gunky (thank you Steve Martin). The safety problem with cell phones is you not paying attention to the road because you're on the phone. Shut up and drive!

    It seems perfectly clear, that it is RGB..................55% CMY.................+40% M-O-U-S-E.............5%

  7. Re:$800 on The Cost of Computer Naivete · · Score: 1

    That sort of defeats her chances to save the data, doesn't it. It as if you were to say, "Oh no, somebody wrote in my notebook. I'd better throw it away and get a new one, rather than simply erasing the offending intrusions!" Save the data, then trash the computer-- that I can agree with, certainly. I'm saving up the pennies myself, to replace this 700Mhz WinME dog...
