  1. Re:It's a shame... on Homemade Star Wars Flick/Fanimatrix Movie · · Score: 1

    Hyperion, Ender's Game, Foundation, Dune ...

    And that's for sci-fi.

  2. Am I the only one ... on The Borg MegaCube · · Score: 1

    who thought this would be the next-generation Gamecube ?

    :)

  3. Re:Where's Open Source when you need it? on Yahoo Shutting Out Third-Party IM Clients? · · Score: 1

    www.jabber.org

    Where have you been in the MS-shuts-down-3rd-parties soap opera anyway ?

  4. Well ... on Yahoo Shutting Out Third-Party IM Clients? · · Score: 1

    They do say ""Third-party clients will likely be affected, but we're trying to communicate with other providers around the common goal of opening up the IM community," she said."

    Which is probably PR-speak for "we want to keep our precioussss protocols closed".

    What should we do now, hate Yahoo! because they take less time than MS ? At least MS makes it blantantly obvious when they go use monopolistic practices.

    (:

  5. Re:One size fits none on Engineers Design Safer SUV · · Score: 2, Funny

    Never wear a seat belt while driving on a frozen lake.

    Which conveniently fits the law "never drive on a frozen lake".

  6. GOATSE IN PARENT on Resolving Everything: VeriSign Adds Wildcards · · Score: -1, Troll

    How this got modded 'funny' is beyond me.

  7. Re:Fuck GAIM on Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban · · Score: 2, Interesting

    However, the man is right : Gaim does NOT use password encryption. Either on 'doze or *nix. Passwords are stored in .gaim/accounts.xml.

  8. Re:World standards on Chinese Government to Use Only Local Software · · Score: 1

    Yeah. Then somebody will figure out you can exchange documents using Acrobat.

    An article.

    From MSDN.

    Jesus will come to save our souls before Armageddon or something ?

  10. Let's see ... on Is There A Madden Curse? · · Score: 1

    1) Football is a dangerous game
    2) People featured on Madden box are usually at the top of their game.
    3) Hence, they've not been injured (too much).
    4) So, those players try to push harder and harder, and then injure themselves.

    Just my 2 cents.

  11. Mod parent troll on Ask a Music Producer/Publicist About Filesharing and the RIAA · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, like Pink Floyd doesn't get pirated ...

  12. Moderators don't use Debian or something ? on Debian: A Brief Retrospective · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Debian _is_ easy to use.
    Just hard to install =)

  13. And ... on Carriers Might Profit From Cell Number Portability · · Score: 4, Insightful

    is this supposed to be surprising or something ?

    We're talking about private corporations trying to make more profit after all.

    "Although federal law requires that such fees be 'just and reasonable', it does not require reporting of their actual expenses."
    That pretty much sounds like giving the cell phone corporations carte blanche.

  14. Re:Why can't I mod down articles? on The State of the Game Console Wars · · Score: 0

    1) Basically, it's produced in a lab, in artificial conditions that are impossible to reproduce in nature. Oh yeah, such elements are usually pretty unstable, IIRC.
    2) Maybe. Who knows ? IANAS (I Am Not A Scientist).
    3) See 1)
    4) See 1)

    Whew, not bad since IANAS. Or maybe I'm completely wrong [=

  17. Re:What make Windows 2003 so secure? on Windows Virus Takes Out Gov't Agencies in MD, PA · · Score: 1

    But is it installed by default on a Woody ?
    Nope.

  18. Re:What make Windows 2003 so secure? on Windows Virus Takes Out Gov't Agencies in MD, PA · · Score: 1

    That's already a pretty good thing - just look at the Debian way. If you don't need a service, turn it off and turn it on ONLY if you need it. I wonder where Microsoft got the idea of the uber-lockdown from ...
