  1. Re:Well I am glad to see someone with experience on Ted Turner's Beef With Big Media · · Score: 1

    You need to work on your haiku skills.

  2. Re:Killed by the society he saved. on Marking 50 Years Since Alan Turing's Death · · Score: 5, Informative

    At first, they gave (male) homosexuals testosterone. After all, they were "too girly", right? Well shit, that just turned them into raging aggressive horny homosexuals. So, since that didn't work, they thought "what the heck, let's do the opposite". They had no clue, but kept experimenting. Never seemed to cross their minds just to leave the poor guys alone.

    Xbox3? Old news. Wait'll you grok Xbox7. Whoa, will that one knicker your eyelids. Well, it did mine, in eight years. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go return these videos, as they were overdue a year from now.

  6. 1979 Sharp Computer Controlled Cassette Deck on Forgotten Electronics of the 70s and 80s · · Score: 1

    I win! Yes! I own this deck!

    Had the spiffy feature to ff up and stop on blank spots.

    Now it's carefully archived in the garage, along with a scadload of tapes. Near the turntable, and the albums. Oh, and the 8088, of course.

  7. Re:Lottery Ticket on SCO - What have WE Forgotten? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Let me see if I understand this. If IBM buys SCO, then they ... pay money ... for the shares. Am I okay so far? And if you own some of those SCO shares, then IBM ... pays - whoa, my head is spinning - YOU ... for those shares. Which means, you get some, whaddaya call it, money for your shares. So, it wasn't worthless, because you got some money. Could you follow all that?

    > paying someone to engineer a solution that is provably correct

    Oh, is that all? Sheesh, no prob. I just need a very long piece of paper, and a machine that clicky-clacks it back and forth.

    Got a link? Bunch of stuff on your website, nothing about crashing WinXP. Whyzat?

  14. Re:Keyboard on What's the Oldest Hardware You are Still Using? · · Score: 1

    I have a dozen DeskPro 83-key Compaq keyboards, circa 1987. After accepting them into my soul, I kept a sharp eye and collected them opportunistically. I'd spot one in a server room, and swap in a genero 'board. I suppose that last happened when Bush Sr. was pres.

    I reasoned that since they were it, the one, the true, the only, I'd best have a stockpile to last me a lifetime. As it turns out, not one has ever died. I've disassembled and cleaned them many times, no surprise, but they always come back clicking.

  15. Re:Oh, Thank God! on Andy Grove Speaks out on Offshore Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    Working pretty good ... Japan. Japan? Japan, with a 20 year recession?

    Lemme guess: you heard in 1980 how Japan Inc was taking over the world, and haven't really been paying jack attention since.

    This year, you heard the same thing about China, and you'll hold that tight to your breast for the next 20 years, come what may.

  16. Re:I know it's going to be slashdotted on Notes From The SCO Roadshow's First Stop · · Score: 1

    Congress passed outrageous protectionist tariffs on imported bikes in the 80s, to benefit the death-deserving HD. Honda/Kaw/Yam/Suz worked their butts off for years, getting better all the time, competing like gonzo. All that time, HD did jack zero on their bikes. Ooh that pissed me off.

  17. Re:Still haven't learned their lessons on Half-Life 2 Delayed Following Code Leak · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Funny how you use "100% wrong" and "apparently" in the same sentence. Gabe has no clue how he got owned. Outlook buffer overflow - pfah! Could have been the creepy-looking new hire.

    Mr. Vampyre, you are a virtous, albeit undead, soul. However, you are preaching to the wind. Were you to flog LinuxMan with a bag of nails, he'd misspell its by week's end.

  20. WFB on WordStar on Word Processors: One Writer's Retreat · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "I'm told there are better programs [than WordStar], but I'm also told there are better alphabets." --William F. Buckley Jr.

    > By far the most important aspect of any office suite is its word processor

    Son, you're living in 1993. By far, it's email. Indeed, the main job a word processor is to compose mail.

  22. Re:Thus defeating the object? on PGP Universal - Usable Email Security? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ah, that's what they want you to think. It's those who say they work for the NSA, such that you think they must not work for the NSA, that really do work for the NSA. It's those who don't that don't. Or do. Don't. Wait.
