  1. Re:You start by acknowledging Islam as a threat on Islamist Hackers Shut Down Egyptology Research Journal · · Score: 1

    I was looking for the "like button"....then I remembered where I am.

  2. Re:What are they doing on Wikipedia? on Palin Fans Deface Paul Revere Wikipedia Page · · Score: 1
    This is clearly Palin's source of information.

    He is famous for riding from Boston to Lexington, Massachusetts with William Dawes on the night of April 18, 1775 ringing bells to warn the British that colonists would exercise their natural right to bear arms.

  3. Re:Texas Budget Deficit on Amazon Pulling Out of Texas Over $269 Million Tax Bill · · Score: 1

    No Offense to Maxo-Texas,
    But, I'm sick of prefacing conservative and liberal with "social" and "fiscal".
    Let's all start using conservative and liberal to reference all things fiscal.
    Progressive and Regressive can be used to reference all things social.

    I'm certainly progressive, but never much cared for the liberal label.

  4. Re:Supermassive Black Holes? on What Exactly Is a Galaxy? · · Score: 1

    The stars, planets, and other stuff (soylent green) are merely food.

  5. Re:Why Is It Wrong to Call This ESP? on Journal Article On Precognition Sparks Outrage · · Score: 1

    Clearly, you are unfamiliar with your audience. From the ultimate tome of human knowledge (aka the Dungeon Master's Guide) ESP is Mind Reading.

  6. Macy's on iPhone Alarms Hit By New Year's Bug · · Score: 1

    I'm certain that the Macy's display case was deeply impacted by your "girlfriend's" tardiness.

    BTW: Buying your plastic GF an iPhone is really over-the-top geekiness.

  7. Re:Mars the new Australia? on Scientists Propose One-Way Trips To Mars · · Score: 1

    So we do a prison lottery.

    Door #1 ---> a one-way trip to mars.
    Door #2 ---> a hungry lion.


    The money we save on prisoner upkeep (globally) and lion chow can fund the mission.

  8. Re:I don't see it on Massive Gamma Ray Bubbles Discovered In Milky Way · · Score: 1

    I just walked outside and looked. I don't see it either.

  9. Re:This really is more than I need to know. on How Technology Gets the News Out of North Korea · · Score: 1

    Really..why don't they just use the interne.....oh yeah....um, nevermind.

  10. I call bullshit on UK Teen Banned From US Over Obscene Obama Email · · Score: 1

    FTA: ""I don't remember exactly what I wrote as I was drunk. But I think I called Barack Obama a p***k"

    bullshit.
    You would think after the cops came he would take a look at his sent mail.

  11. Re:Astronomy? on Fun To Be Had With a 10-Foot Satellite Dish? · · Score: 1

    ...then you and the lion die as one.

  12. craigslist on What To Do With Old 802.11b Equipment? · · Score: 1

    Take a picture of the lot of it in one big messy pile. Put it on CL for $20. There's bound to be some geek who's mom raised the rent on his basement "command center" the same day he spilled a can of Jolt on his draft-n router.

  13. Re:On Hybrid Vehicles on Chevrolet Volt In a Gasoline-Only Scenario · · Score: 1

    I think the reason is because diesels are perceived as being "heavier" and "more expensive". So the real problem is in the marketing. VW has made at least one concept car using this combination.

  14. Re:That's GNU/Linux, you insensitive clod! on Linus Torvalds For Nobel Peace Prize? · · Score: 1

    I think you're confusing Linus with RMS.

  15. Re:Still guilty on Pirate Bay Shuts Down Tracker, Switches To Distributed Hash Table · · Score: 1

    >...then ski mask manufacturers would be facilitating the illegal procurement of liquor store cash register contents.

    Clearly, this is the case.

  16. I don't get it on Microsoft To Buy $100M More SUSE Support Vouchers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This time line is just too strange.
    Back in the day. Novell made a lot of money with Netware which was completely dependent on Windows. They get back-doored by Microsoft and flounder for a while.
    Then they buy one of the top three Linux distributions and with out hesitation, they get in line for another anal-raping.
    Novell just loves being Microsoft's biotch.

  17. Re:COBOL. on California Can't Perform Pay Cut Because of COBOL · · Score: 1

    When I was looking for a job in '02 I saw postings on monster for MCSEs with 5 years of Active Directory / Windows 2000 experience. (Luckily I work on linux and already had 10 years of experience with the 2.8 kernel).

  18. Re:This scares the hell out of me on Global Warming Stopped By Adding Lime To Sea · · Score: 1

    I'll leave out the fact that temperatures globally have been flat for several years now

    I'm glad you "left that out". If you'd actually included that, someone might ask for the source. THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.

  19. Re:I had a dream... on Disgruntled Engineer Hijacks San Francisco's Computer System · · Score: 3, Interesting

    >Professionalism is key if you expect to be trusted with access to big sexy systems
    I Whole-heartedly agree.
    I'm sure there are a lot of /.ers who have had this opportunity and temptation. I'm one of them. I was laid off three times from 2000-2001. In two of those instances I still had root...in the third, even though root had been removed my knowledge of the system was such that I could have easily brought it down with a legally created user account. I didn't act on any of these impulses. I have to admit, if I hadn't been shown a high degree of Professionalism during the lay off process, the temptation would have been much harder to resist.

    C.Crane has these available now. Indeed their 60 Watt replacement known as GEOBulb lists for $119. They just introduced this bulb and expect that price will drop as volume rises. ....do they get the $20,000,000?

    I'd go with an asus eee. Cheap, disposable, uses solid state. Instead of DVDs, mail back 512MB/1GB usb thumb drives or SD or CF....whatever you want.
