  1. Wow these high priced interoperability consultants on Softwar : An Intimate Portrait of Larry Ellison · · Score: 1

    have nothing on a carpenter! :-)

  2. s/glibc on linux/glibc on Mac OS/ on Nonexistent Windows OS Superior to Panther · · Score: 1

    glibc is supposedly portable, but in fact runs ONLY on linux. It would be neat if it ran on MacOS (but only because the Linux ABI came over, so it's sort of like cheating).

    Eh. Not funny anyway. Ah well.

  3. Did you hear "WHISH" when you read the parent? on Softwar : An Intimate Portrait of Larry Ellison · · Score: 1

    I think you missed the joke.

    Hybrid? - signifying that Minis and Unicycles are essentially the same thing, so a hybrid would be redundant.

    ha. funny. haha. Mini's are small. lol!

  4. Oh, come off it. on Strangest Japanese Videogame Genres Discussed · · Score: 1

    Most of them are destined to be big rentals, for girls to watch by themselves or with friends.

    After seeing one too many episodes of girls getting stalked by "creepy" guys on Dateline, CSI, Law and Order, etc... a dating sim, which teaches kids how to virtually bag girls would go over as well as Doom ]|[ will be to a resident of Columbine.

  6. I'm intrigued by this new type of troll. on DMCA Doesn't Protect Garage Door Remotes · · Score: 3, Funny

    Trolls who assume some air of authority with respect to the article. They post quickly, making wild, non-trivially verifiable claims.

    Of course, it's all a crock of shit.

    Moderators: Don't moderate up anyone informative if they don't offer any proof or make a claim and they have a shoddy posting record. Otherwise YOU WILL be slaughtered in M2.

  7. That's because he's a troll on DMCA Doesn't Protect Garage Door Remotes · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Mod down grandparent -1 liar.

  8. He counted right... but mistyped. on Sweet Revenge On Nigerian Scammers · · Score: 1

    (use appears twice)

  9. I bet the 419ers can be found using that site. on Sweet Revenge On Nigerian Scammers · · Score: 1

    I mean, they're ALL the same format, just little details change. No imagination whatsoever.

    Sigh. I yearn for more interesting UCE.

  10. (more importantly, the Linux ABI, dev interfaces) on Nonexistent Windows OS Superior to Panther · · Score: 1

    glibc on linux? Who would have thunk it.

  11. No no... I'll take the car Bob. on The Ultimate Desk... Sort Of · · Score: 1

  12. If you did... I'm sure you can probably on The Ultimate Desk... Sort Of · · Score: 1

    call them up and convince them to be a guest or guest host on one of their 15 minute episodes. I mean, did they actually expect just anyone to attempt to buy it? It'd have to be a raving fan. Probably a successful person who is secretly a fan.

    Hmm...

  13. Unlikely! on Analyzing AT&T's Anti-Anti-Spam Patent · · Score: 1

    The only people they could go after are the purveyors of the mailbombing software that utilitzes this technique. Just using the software does not make you a patent infringer.

    And how will that stop spam? It's not exactly rocket science. Anyone could right that software if paid enough quietly.

    No, AT&T is probably looking to sell "accurate and direct e-marketing solutions" with it's residential internet customer lists, with a guarantee the simpler classifier-based spam filters won't nullify them.

  14. This would all be so much more interesting... on Nonexistent Windows OS Superior to Panther · · Score: 1

    if Windows Longhorn came with software that enabled the user to take components of applications, forms, folders, etc. + a little web knowhow and CREATE her own activity centers.

    If it's this powerful new metaphor; a huge reason why I should plunk all of this money down for this new OS, then it better come with a kit and lots of components designed specifically so I can actually take advantage of it.

    otherwise it's just another bullet point on a sales presentation. yawn

  15. Funny you mention "MacOS LNX" on Nonexistent Windows OS Superior to Panther · · Score: 1

    I had suggested to someone the other day, half-jokingly, that I was wondering when they would jump from FreeBSD userland to Linux userland (after having made a quantum leap from 4.3 to 4.6 in Panther).
    Why? It'd get all those Linux (or just SysV) zealots to join the OSX bandwagon. They can apt-get, emerge, and rpm to their heart's content.
    Now I'm wondering if anyone else has seriously thought about that.

  16. Paul is such a fucking tool. on Nonexistent Windows OS Superior to Panther · · Score: 3, Insightful

    He's worse then some of these "video game reviewers" or the journalists on CNet.

    I mean, not only does he repeat what's fed to him by the MS rumor mills, but he expounds upon it.

    And it's all bullshit rhetoric anyway. I've never seen him post a measly graph or table to back up his claims, anywhere.

  17. Sometimes, while saving a document... on Nonexistent Windows OS Superior to Panther · · Score: 1

    you see another document with a name that catches your eye, and makes you think that maybe what you're saving this file as is inappropriate (or maybe you're working with and old version of a document by accident), so you want to check out what's in the other file while you've got it RIGHT THERE... so you right click, open in new window, etc.

    Sometimes, when in the act of picking a place to save, I open other files from that directory while I browsing the save dialog. This helps me to file it away appropriately.

  18. You have to trust your whitebox distributor on Ask Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik · · Score: 1

  19. Even I can't understand why this is a problem. on Final Fantasy XII Details Leak Ahead Of Unveiling · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sex sells. RPG's sell glossy guides.
    Glossy guides + sexy game = auxiliary magazine sales at convience stores.

    Oh, you mean for gamers? Wake up! They got bought by Enix. Hopefully they won't suck _all_ the fun out of the franchise.

    On a side-note, I wish I looked that good in ass-huggers. I'll probably end up not playing it out of embarrassment.

  20. I've said it before and I'll say it again... on Single Speaker Unit Delivers Surround Sound · · Score: 1

    they really need to introduce using Cat5 as a balanced interconnect cable for analog or digital (or both! like DVI-D)
    Cheap, abundant, can carry a balanced stereo pair, or a single channel with phantom power, snaplocks, etc. etc.

  21. Not 2, 1.2 megapixels... on Ritz Disposable Digital Camera Hacked · · Score: 1

    and it's really a piece of shit. Not worth taking pictures with unless it's for a website at low resolution. Not even worth it for insurance claims.

    (check the links and see for yourself... ugh) you get what you pay for.

  22. Read the Wiki... on Ritz Disposable Digital Camera Hacked · · Score: 1

    the camera is a real piece of shit. Lens optics are deplorable... shoddy engineering (uses only half the flash chip).
    It probably doesn't cost 3 bucks to make in the right country. Well, at least not more than $20 because...
    It's not reusable (!). So you don't see re-used ones back in the new packages at the store.

  23. gzip -1 on Experiences w/ Drive Imaging Software? · · Score: 1

  25. Some cool versions of dd... on Experiences w/ Drive Imaging Software? · · Score: 2, Informative

    let you send it SIGUSR1 and it will report it's progress (namely the GNU fileutils version).
    You could write a wrapper script around it with a cool progress bar if you were smart.

    Try this one day:

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null &
    kill -USR1 %1
    #wait a little
    kill -USR1 %1
    #etc...
