  1. Isn't this so fsking typical of micro$oft.... on Microsoft Works on Search Capabilities · · Score: 1

    Someone does something right, really right. So M$ sees and all of a sudden *THEY* have to do it, they dip into their $30E10 cash reserve and buy their way into the field. All because Billy wrote a BASIC interpreter 25 years ago. Fsk Billy, Fsk Micro$oft, Fsk stupid fsking users that support him.

  2. OT - Getting bombed with bogus MS security updates on Using an Old Satellite Dish as a WLAN Antenna · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I'm getting about 40/hr and I'm not finding much realtime data on the attack. Anyone know anything more?

  4. Total Fsking flamebait article on License to Surf, Take Two · · Score: 1
    A four year degree? Half the people that keep the net going don't have a four year degee. Arrogant bastard.

    Anyway, if we're going to start licensing users shouldn't we first license developers? Did that tighten some sphincters? It should. This guy ought to be working for Poindexer and crew for homeland security or some such fascist thing instead of ranting about users.

    Do you still have to pay SCO $699 for each Linux instance that you run. Or are they covered by the Microsoft Unix license.

  9. Re:This is not VHS quality on TV "Broadcasting" Over Wireless Networks? · · Score: 1

    I have to differ with you. I've *seen* both and there is no comparison. And I don't consider myself to be a technosnob. Sorry you can't see it.

  10. This is not VHS quality on TV "Broadcasting" Over Wireless Networks? · · Score: 3, Interesting
    live video at VHS quality (320x240 29.97fps)

    Sorry, the best you can say is near VHS quality. And I don't even agree with that. A fresh, first generation tape in a good machine blows 320x240 away any day.

    Tell the truth and people will trust you.

  11. Re:Or if you just want the IDE... on Microcomputers for Homebrew Projects? · · Score: 1

    Not the same. The JK micro version is 4.51, runs under win and compiles to a realmode target.

  12. If you like x86 and Borland C/C++ on Microcomputers for Homebrew Projects? · · Score: 1
    You might want to check out JK microsystems.

    For $69 you can get a 33mhz 80186 board with 512k of flash and ram, a flash file system, and a full Borland development ide. You get 44 digital I/O lines plus the raw processor bus and a bunch of integrated peripherals.

  13. Forget about retail unless it's a labor of love on Selling Software - Shareware, Piracy, and Profit? · · Score: 1
    It seems to me that the retail programming market has gone much the same way as the music industry. Either work for one of the giant "studios" or struggle on your own for the love of your work.

    If you need the bread, work as a consultant. There's quite a bit of work available if you look in the right places.

    If you want to get your stuff out to a grateful audience, find a specialized field to learn about then use the newsgroups to find out just what people want.

  14. Fsking Nazi moderators on Nanoparticles Change Crystal Structure When Wet · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Should read the Milgram Experiment and the Stanford Prison Experiment. The article is boring and is irrelevent and comments regarding the appropriateness of an article should not be off-topic. Have a good day!

  15. Re:Yawn on Nanoparticles Change Crystal Structure When Wet · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I beg to differ, Mr. Moderator, sir. This is an extremely dull and irrelevent article and I think a yawn and coffee request is a totally on-topic comment.

  17. Young fsking slacker is what you were... on New Low Bandwidth Denial of Service Attacks · · Score: 1

    I had to hammer the wire out of rusty nails, break the necks off of beer bottles for insulators, string the wire, build modems out of 12AU7 and 6J6 tubes, and have it all running before dawn. And we were glad for them.

  18. No,the real question is... on World's Biggest Battery Switched On in Alaska · · Score: 1

    What would a Beowolf cluster of these look like. Or how long would a Beowolf cluster run on these. Or what would happen if you dropped a wrench down inside this thing?

  20. Re:should be verifiable on How Would You Design the Voting Technology? · · Score: 1
    The election process is one of the most open processes in our government. You can be a pollworker (and get paid for it) and you can witness public logic and accuracy tests. You might even be able to work as a volunteer counting ballots. I've been sworn in and helped count votes all over the US and part of Canada.

    Making sure that your particular vote is properly counted would be impossible because of secrecy issues. In the counting process, the ballot is separated from any form of user ID early on so that a person's vote is kept secret. That's a good thing.

  21. I'm biased cause I worked in the industry... on How Would You Design the Voting Technology? · · Score: 4, Interesting
    For 4 years. I've been to countless elections and given technical help and gruntwork help. I was the lead project engineer for a optical-scan high speed ballot counter.

    That said, I absolutely insist on machine-readable and hand-countable pen-marked paper ballots. This is the only way to insure both fast and accurate election night returns *and* verifiable beyond-a-shadow-of-a-doubt recount ability. These machines have been manufactured for many years and they *were not* responsible for the Florida cluster-fsk.
