  1. When are they going to learn? on Sprint DSL's Security Hole Easy As 1,2,3,4 · · Score: 1

    People NEVER, as a group, take that extra step.

    They ALWAYS take the dumb, easy way. How do you think Bill Gates made all his money?

  2. Re:Dumpster wars on Nintendo Confirms New Console In 2005 · · Score: 1

    I agree which is why I bet nothing goes into their dumpsters but semi-conductive dust.

  3. This should be awesome on Nintendo Confirms New Console In 2005 · · Score: 4, Funny

    but Nintendo beware! Bill's XBox will be coming into the second generation - and we all know by the third generation it will suck less. A lot less.

  4. Re:Maybe I'm dense... on Recording Industry Extinction Predicted RSN · · Score: 1

    Hah! You're so ignorant!

    Everybody knows he's the guy who wrote Linux!

  5. Re:Sociology studies the behavior of entire societ on Linked: The New Science of Networks · · Score: 1

    Yes but...

    I took two Sociology courses at Humber College and York University and both times my teachers and advanced students were ardent Marxists.

    There was no math to speak of either. I think Sociology is a bogus discipline designed to get communists into our school system.

  6. I'm so pissed off on The Future of Java? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    After waiting for 45 minutes to make my comment, that I can't even rememebr what it is now.

  7. Actually on Hilary Rosen Will Step Down As RIAA Head · · Score: 1

    I expect the RIAA to create a seven person panel to replace her. Makes sense.

    Joking aside - if you read her WIRED interview she didn't seem happy and complained loudly about her bosses not getting it. I didn't think she'd last.

  8. Re:Please DELETE This Topic on Elect Steve Jobs President of the United States · · Score: 1

    Well, if Lex Luther can get elected President in the Superman comics, Bill Gates can get elected President in real life.

  9. I can hear his first speech now... on Elect Steve Jobs President of the United States · · Score: 1

    "America, the Insanely Great Country!"

    (Which it actually is....)

  10. Re:What is the best giveaway item? on Ask a LinuxWorld Exhibitor · · Score: 1

    Two items

    HP once gave away a plushy winged pig at their booth at Comdex Toronto a long time ago that I had to line up to win a trivia contest for and the other was when I had to get in a LONG lineup to get a genuine beeny with a propeller on top. THAT was cool!

  11. Apparently this one sleeps all day on Cloned Cat Not a 'Carbon Copy' · · Score: 1

    in a *different* manner than the other one.

  12. Don't you mean on Multimedia Windowpanes · · Score: 1

    'that double as an *advertisment* centre'?

  13. Re:Here's some Sourceforge projects for you on Self-Regulating SSL Certificate Authority? · · Score: 1

    D'oh!

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/xca/

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/php-ca/

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/stealthisca/

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/mkcert/

  14. Here's some Sourceforge projects for you on Self-Regulating SSL Certificate Authority? · · Score: 3, Informative

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/xca/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/php-ca/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/stealthisca/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/mkcert/ Alas - most of these are in alpha....

  15. GREAT! on Plan for Spam, Version 2 · · Score: 1

    I run PopFile at work and it rules!

    Please carry on with this Bayesian Spam filtering! It'll be the death of spam yet!

  16. Bah on Review Of Upcoming Projection Keyboards · · Score: 1

    This sounds like one of those schemes for impressing ignorant suits or girls in a bar.

    Not much good for anything else.

  17. Legal advice needed on Bad News From Canada On NetTV And Media Levies · · Score: 1

    Surely there's some point in law that says that you can't make an activity illegal on one hand and fungable on another.

    I mean, if they charge us a fee for music copying onto cdr's doesn't that mean they sanction it?

    The record companies can't ban something AND get paid for it as well can they?

    Real lawyer advice needed here (I'm sure there's a phrase in Latin for this...)

  18. Re:Dating boys who read Sci-Fi on Top 10 New Sci-Fi/SF Authors? · · Score: 1

    Never mind them, it's the boys who read Gor books you have to look out for!

  19. Harry Potter on Top 10 New Sci-Fi/SF Authors? · · Score: 1

    It surpaseth the hype.

    Be sure to read them in order - there's a huge spoiler in book three (The best one as far as I'm concerned.)

  20. A much better profile on Dave Hughes' Campaign To Connect 6 Billion Brains · · Score: 1

    is right here

    http://www.west-point.org/academy/dgrad/Nominati on .html

  21. Wouldn't this magnetize the hull on Electromagnetic Ship Docking System Debuts · · Score: 1

    And cause trouble down the road?

  22. Man, when will they learn? on When Appliances Revolt · · Score: 2, Funny

    NEVER use Windows to control anything that can kill you...

  23. Yippy! on Music Biz Predicts 6% Decline in '03 · · Score: 1

    The music industry's karma is catching up with them!

    Soon, they will die the death of 1,000 cuts!

    Either that, or their patron, Satan, will do something to take care of them again....

  24. Re:FORTH on Programming Languages Will Become OSes · · Score: 1

    I forgot to mention - someone should write a *nix in forth and also most video cards have FORTH driving their chips.

  25. Re:FORTH on Programming Languages Will Become OSes · · Score: 1

    You beat me to it.

    I was going to say 'And FORTH people have known this for how many years?'

    I remember writing a VM with Kernel-like memory paging in Miller FORTH on a TRS 80 mdl 1 back in the old days.

    FORTH is the greatest, if you can handle it.
