    And now America's Army which does have a Linux client, but the communications software we use does not

    Have you tried Teamspeak? A friend of mine who has tried a lot of comm software on Wintendo says this is the best on Wintendo. (And the software is just about identical on both plats.)

  2. Re:C++ Future Development??? on Borland Releases New C++ Toolkit · · Score: 1
    Then why have I been out of work for over 2 years?

    Well duh!
    Because you don't know C or C++.

  3. Re:great example! on Beer-Coated CDs are Optical Biocomputers · · Score: 1
    Actually, beer is a wonderful subject for research if you want to learn chemistry. From the malting to the mashing and the fermentation you learn all the basics of proteins, starches, enzymes, bacteria and more.

    I often wish that I had been into brewing beer (as I am now) during my high school years. My grades would've been much better.

  4. Moderators, HELLO!!! on Step-by-Step Computer Destruction · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    How can the parent be "Offtopic"???

    IT's gonna love me when they come in on monday hehehe.

    It should be modded "Funny"!

  5. Read the story! Heinlein wanted it published! on New Heinlein Novel · · Score: 1
    It could be good...
    Obviously, the decision not to publish wasn't his.

    The novel, "For Us, the Living," was deemed unpublishable, mainly for the racy content. So racy is/was the content that in the 1930s the book could not even have been legally shipped through the US mail! For this reason, after a few publisher rejections, the novel was tabled by Heinlein, but the content was mined for his later stories and novels.

  6. How? With a bit of the old ultra-violence??? on IBM's Billy Goat Squashes Worms · · Score: 1
    I'm wondering, oh my brothers, if "Billy Goat" is a really horrorshow name for this software. If I remember correctly, it was your humble narrator who gave most of the tolchocks, while Billy Boy was mostly on the receiving end. You might not remember the happenings all horrorshow like, oh my brothers, so let me refresh your memory...

    "Well well well, if it isn't fat stinking Billy Goat Billy Boy in poison. How art thou, thou globby bottle of cheap stinking chip oil? Come and get one in the yarbles, if you have any yarbles, you eunuch jelly thou!"

    All that is needed is worm called "Alex"...

  7. Re:The network administrators... on Microsoft Worms Crash Ohio Nuke Plant, MD Trains · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Sometimes that's not enough. At my university, the departmental firewall did just fine in blocking the virus, until somebody got their Windows laptop infected at home and brought it to work, behind the firewall. Once again proving that great network security can be easily defeated by poor physical security.

    Same thing happened at my university, but where talking about a nuclear power plant and the OP did say "exposed, even indirectly, to the internet". We're definitely talking about indirect exposure here! Why are there dirty laptops on the same LAN as the safety monitoring system.

  8. Correction... on Coldest Place in the Universe · · Score: 1
    ...has a temperature of minus 272 degrees. It is only one degree warmer than absolute zero

    Nope, it's more! It's really 1.15 degrees warmer than absolute zero (which is -273.15 degrees Celsius.)

    No!
    The new foot is ugly!

  10. Re:I Robot? Wrong book on Will Smith as I, Robot · · Score: 2, Informative

    Doesn't this sound more like Caves of Steel? Nope, it sounds more like Robots of Dawn.

  11. Isn't Fischer schizophrenic? on Bobby Fischer FBI Files Released Under FOIA · · Score: 1, Interesting
    I recall reading in some chess newsgroups that he is schizophrenic. Maybe his illness explains some of his views. It would also explain why he doesn't understand to shut up about his anti-semitism. For example, while I (and many others) agree with him that the US has been quite biased in the Israel/Palestine-conflict, I definitely cannot accept the 9.11 attack. Neither can I accept his anti-semitism.

    Fischer just doesn't seem to understand that his insightful opinions are drowned in his ludicrous conspiracy theories and anti-semitism.
