  1. I don't dream of them being roll up so much... on Roll-Up Monitors A Step Closer To Reality · · Score: 4, Insightful

    as excellent, large and cheap.

    Any signs of progress of THAT front?

  2. WHAT? on Top Ten Mac OS X Tips for Unix Geeks · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The question that arises is not how to convert but WHY for God's name?

  3. I'm with Rogers... on Cable Industry Taking Control of the Net · · Score: 1

    And I've recently been capped at 20 K upload speed, ruining my career as a p2p pir8...

    It may turn out all the industry fears of piracy are unfounded and the legislation unnecessary when ISPs themselves are killing the illicit trade just to keep costs down.

  4. We're gonne be seeing a lot of this on British Columbia Bows To Breast Cancer Patent · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Canada's pinko health system (which I refuse to live without) colliding with our grasping new capitalism (which I also refuse to live without - although I'm embarrassed by it...)

  5. Re:Radioactive Isotope Power... on Atomic MEMS Battery has 50 Year Charge · · Score: 1

    Nono - if voting were effective it would be declared 'unpatriotic'....

  6. Re:We can at best hope a tie.. on Kramnik Ties Fritz; Machines Not Yet Our Masters · · Score: 1

    You know what? I bet computers are BETTER at fischer-random chess then people!

    Why? Because when you scramble the back row, 100,000 games of chess knowledge that the grandmaster has go right out the window! It's tactics all the way and computers are better at tactics than people!

  7. Kramnik pussed out on Kramnik and Deep Fritz Draw, Tied Before Final Game · · Score: 1

    What bothers me is that Kramnik pussed out in the last game.

    He had the oportunity to take a sharp line that might have won for him and might have lost - instead he took a dull line that he knew would draw.

    A GREAT champion would always go for the win!

  8. Re:Chess, how boring... on Kramnik and Deep Fritz Draw, Tied Before Final Game · · Score: 1

    Actually, we are at the stage in computer science where medicine was when the guy who set your bones was the same guy who cut your hair....

  9. Doesn't Apple have an error message... on Gnarly Error Messages · · Score: 1

    'Woah, dude! Something went wrong!

  10. Clipper has an error message... on Gnarly Error Messages · · Score: 1

    'Mayhem in the case handler'

  11. Mistake... on Apple Won't Be At Macworld Boston · · Score: 1

    This is a mistake that Apple can ill afford.

    I myself have pulled a few sulks like this when I was younger and I regretted it every time.

    If they genuinely feel that this a slight to Apple and they REALLY want to show them, show them ALL, they should show up with a great pavilion and a big smile on their faces. That would piss off any alleged enemies big time.

    When you get past puberty you figure stuff like this out.

  12. They're ALWAYS doomed... on Star Wars Producer Says Box Office is Doomed · · Score: 1

    I bet when movies were invented they figured all actors were doomed.

    After all, once you have a FILM of an actor doing Hamlet, you don't need that actor anymore do you?

    So film killed the whole profession, didn't it?

  13. Re:Navy not looking for much... on More on Underwater Gliders · · Score: 1

    Not to worry - the oil revenue from the upcoming Iraq conquest will more than fund new research projects.....

  14. Gamed to death... on GameToo Much...... And Die! · · Score: 1

    This guy is our new patron saint!

  15. I wanna see... on Science Brings You Brighter Pants · · Score: 1

    A guy run from the cops wearing one of these, like I saw on a cop show with those LED flashing shoes...

    The cops were shitting laughing....

  16. What you do is,,,, on What Would You Do With a New Form of Encryption? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    release it at a crypto convention and get a reality check as it is broken by one of the people at the con before you go home.....

  17. We need two things.... on Digital ID World Conference · · Score: 4, Funny

    1 - A way to absolutely prove who we are in order to buy stuff safely.

    2 - A way to absolutely hide who we are in order to score all that pr0n off the net safely....

  18. Is this going to be webcast? on File-Sharing Symposium at the University of Texas · · Score: 0

    Because I'd love to see it, up here in Canada between dodging polar bears and all....

  19. Its a screw up on News.com Links to DeCSS Program · · Score: 0

    It's a screw up. There's no way these suits have the guts to do any civil disobedience.

    I'll bet they remove it in a panic two seconds after they discover it's there.

    And someone gets canned for it, too.

  20. Re:Where's Commodore?!?!?! on High Score · · Score: 0

    The great thing about the C64 was that you could do sprite animations in BASIC. It was built in, easy once you got a grip on it.

    Havn't seen that since.

  21. Do we care? on Fortran 2000 Committee Draft · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Isn't Fortran completely irrelevant in the 21st century anyways?

  22. Re:Frying Pan -- Fire? on Jobs in Japan? · · Score: 0

    Get Power Japanese by Bayware - eBay is the place to look.

  23. Re:Education is changing. on MIT OpenCourseWare Now Online · · Score: 0

    Absolutely wrong. When management needs a tcp/ip driver, they need one NOW.

    There is no way they would ever hire the eager kid. They'd commission the old pro and get their driver now, not who-knows-when.

  24. Re:time to start firing/ reducing pay on Microsoft PPTP Buffer Overflow; VPNs Vulnerable · · Score: 0

    Hire Theo.

    Really - Hire OpenBSD leader Theo to teach a seminar at MS on buffer overflows. No one knows better how to catch them.

    Whie we're at it - they should hire Bruce Schneier to check their crypto, too....

  25. Uh oh... on Examining the Antikythera Mechanism · · Score: 0

    It wasn't supposed to last 10,000 years, was it?
