  1. We'll let's hope they fix Quidditch, on Harry Potter - Quidditch, Sorcerer's Stone? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Because it's broken.

    The Seeker getting 150 pts for the snitch is ridiculous. That decides the game right there.

  2. This is a great opportunity to seek value on The Economics Of Gender In Everquest · · Score: 1

    And is typical of why some people get rich.

    There's NO DIFFERENCE in performance yet the female avatar is 10 % off.

    Which one does the intellegent sentient buy?

  3. Re:Fuggetaboutit on 150 Mbit/s DSL. · · Score: 1

    Read and grow wise

  4. Fuggetaboutit on 150 Mbit/s DSL. · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's all going to be swept away by Digital Spread Spectrum.

    The Net will be in the air, encrypted, ubiquitous, undetectable, unstoppable and free.

  5. Re:Yuck on Ageism in IT? · · Score: 1

    It's also important to be exposed to superior code, lest you spend 11 years repeating your bad habits.

    I've looked at other code many a time and winced when I thought about how I USED to handle that very situation just a minute ago, but not any more...

  6. Don't bother on The Little Coder's Predicament · · Score: 1

    Go into managment then you get to fire coders.

    Coding is the burger flipping of the 21st century. Only kids and losers (like me) do it.

    Capitalism brought computers into the world and Capitalism ruined them.

  7. There is no greater fool on Executing a Mass Departmental Exodus in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    Than one who quits a job without having another one lined up first.

  8. Ah but do people put it in their pants on A Shocking Controller For The Xbox · · Score: 1

    like they do the vibrating one?

    Thats when you know your really tough!

  9. My Fav memory from V on "V" Sequel Coming to NBC · · Score: 1

    was when the nice guy who sacrificed himself to save us turned out to be played by the same actor who played Freddy Kruger.

  10. Good! on Why Johnny Can't Handwrite · · Score: 1

    I hated freaking handwritting when *I* was in school!

    Best thing that happened to me was getting a manual typewriter!

    In THOSE days, of course, we carved our cpu's out of WOOD.

    And our computer weighed 6,000 tons!

    And we programmed with ones and with zeros!

    AND SOMETIMES WE RAN OUT OF ONES!

  11. Re:I don't believe it. - prove it to yourself on New AIM Offering "end to end" Encryption · · Score: 1

    That's great! Thanks!

  12. Re:I don't believe it. on New AIM Offering "end to end" Encryption · · Score: 1

    Absolutly right, and thanks for pointing that out.

  13. Well I'll tell you something on What Is The Future of PNG? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    PNG never got a grip on the animation thing.

    If you wanted a moving image in a little loop, it was GIF everytime.

  14. I don't believe it. on New AIM Offering "end to end" Encryption · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If it isn't completely open source then they are running a man in the middle scam and recording the entire encrypted session in the clear.

    All for our own protection, of course....

  15. "Attention Crass!' on North Korea's School For Hackers? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    "This is your enemy! His name is Theo!

    This is your flend! His name is Bill!

    And remlember, you don't HAVE to study, you can just be a lice picker for the rest of your rives!

    That is all!"

  16. I'm telling you again - Hire Theo. on Microsoft to Clean Up Code · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What Bill should do is contract Theo de Raadt of OpenBSD. He has to be one of the lord high masters of code cleanup in the whole world.

    Pay boffo bucks, send a Gulfstream to get him and give him some Bill face time.

    He'll give you a seminar on code cleaning you'll never forget.

  17. Re:You can't get that type of paper on Counterfeiting With High Resolution Inkjets · · Score: 1

    Actually, I remember being in an art supply store on Queen St in Toronto near Spadina and while examining their selection of sketchbooks I noticed that some of the big expensive ones had paper in them that felt very much like currency....

    So, if you want to counterfeit currency, perhaps you should investigate art stores.

    And To the Dept of the Treasury, I apologize profusely in advance...

  18. History may mark this point on Munich Spurns Steve Ballmer's Software Rebates · · Score: 2, Interesting

    as the beginning of the end for MS...

  19. Oh yeah? on Shocking Clothing · · Score: 1

    Wait until the first time this fries some chicks laptop computer... then there'll be Hell to pay...

  20. When I read stories like this on Petition For Daikatana Sequel Started · · Score: 3, Funny

    I check the date to see if it's April 1...

  21. One whacko conspiracy theory is on RFID Tags in Euro Banknotes · · Score: 1

    that the anti counterfeiting strip in US money is a chip that lets govt. vans cruse your neighborhood and scan your house for 'illicit' funds.

    Looks like it's not so whacko anymore....

  22. We need these guys on Canadian University to Begin Training Hackers · · Score: 1

    North Korea is graduating 100 hackers a year from it's elite school. How much longer past the end of NK communism will these people be making trouble?

    Recent history has taught us an ex-communist is a lot nastier than a communist.

  23. Great and now they'll sit idle on Book-Digitizing Robots · · Score: 1

    while the books crumble away because they have fallen back into copywrite and some suit with no vision beyond the next quarter refuses to allow his 'property' to be 'stolen'.

  24. What you do is on Blow the Whistle, Lose Your Job? · · Score: 1

    you delete the goodies and say nothing because the world is run by mean little cowards.

  25. Thats a brilliant hack! on Fizzer Worm Uninstalling Itself · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Way to go!
