  1. Re:Innovative wildcards? on McLaughlin Defends Site Finder As 'Innovation' · · Score: 1

    rm -rf /* (innovative on sco's lawyers machines... won't take much time at all to complete...)
    BS, we all know SCO's lawyers machines use Windows.

  2. Re:Huh? on When Word Processors Are Out: What's The Best Pen? · · Score: 4, Funny

    /dev/pen - it's a char device

  3. Re:In Soviet Taxachusetts... on CCAGW Misreads Mass. Policy, Open Standards Generally · · Score: 1

    I would like to point out that Mass. is forcing open standards, open data formats; not Linux, not even open source

    I don't know you, but I would like my personal data stored in an open format... if something goes wrong with a closed format only one corporation can fix it!

    About the price, maybe in the CAWG world open solutions are more expensive, but in the real world they're more secure. Well worth their (imaginary) expensiveness.

  4. Re:Proof that Linux is becoming The One OS on Turn Your New Opteron Into A One-Game Console · · Score: 1

    OK, now you made me reboot, you insensitive clod!
    no, just kidding :P
    It's an Award bios for an Asus CUV4X-E board

  5. Re:Bittorrent Links to the mame0.72 Romset on Arcade ROMs for Download, Legally · · Score: 1

    That will show 'em the drawbacks of ADVERTISING in /.

  6. Re:Proof that Linux is becoming The One OS on Turn Your New Opteron Into A One-Game Console · · Score: 1

    Some bios (like mine) let you choose boot device if you hit ESC at booting...(when they're doing the memory test). Just hammer the key and a menu appears with all able-to-boot devices, so if there's a CDROM drive it shows in that menu.
    But maybe the bios you talk about don't support that, of course, or maybe it's another key...

  7. Re:Would You Trust a Chinese OS? on China Prepares To Examine MS Windows Code · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    What reason to distrust? Remember that the OS they're sponsoring is opensource
    What about reasons to distrust the closed source OS from the country of the guys who gave us the Patriot Act and the Oil Crusade?

  8. Re:Victory for BT on Homemade Star Wars Flick/Fanimatrix Movie · · Score: 1

    Thanks man!

    Thanks, ok then:
    The 5% this article is barfing about is 9.5K sites, or 0.002% of the total

    Nothing to see here, move along...

  10. Re:SCO Suit? on Windows 2003 takes 5% away from Linux · · Score: 1

    So you're suggesting that the US army should nuke themselves?

    Interesting...
    not that I would oppose to it myself!

  11. Re:Lots of Currency on The Borg MegaCube · · Score: 1

    No, more probably they will use p2p to get all the disks' content.

  12. Re:mirrored, because signups suck on Interview with Linus Torvalds from NYT Magazine · · Score: 1

    If the NYT chooses to ask for a signup in return for permission to view their copyrighted material, you have two choices:

    Make it three:
    3. Ignore and RTFA

    Since NYT is available offline without registration, it's clear that your personal information isn't necessary for them at all. Is just a blatant violation of your privacy.

    And now, before continuing reading this article you must fill and submit this form to me:

  14. Re:Is it accessible to the blind? on VeriSign Responds To ICANN's SiteFinder Advisory · · Score: 1

    I would bet it isn't.
    The page is made of a lot of tables

    I've heard blind people hate tables in webpages because (loud)reading software shuts something like "start table, column one, row one (cell contents), columnt two ..."

    But i could be wrong IANB.

  18. Re:Solution to this problem... on Verisign Typosquatter Explorer · · Score: 1

    I would suggest using randomized data for the domains, so that they can't cache requests to their database.
    And a delay lower than 1sec ;)

  19. Re:Keeping Logs on SBC Refuses To Name File-Sharing Users · · Score: 1

    Ok, destroying logs can be illegal...

    What about not generating _any_ logs at all?
    Can ISPs legally do that?

  20. Re:Blatant bias.. on StarOffice 7, GNOME-Office 1.0 Released · · Score: 3, Interesting
  21. Yesssss on Electronics & Planes Don't Mix? · · Score: 1

    It appears pilots are pretty much accustomed to handling weird problems with equipment, which they attribute to passengers' portable devices.

    Then equipment is DEFECTIVE.
    Replace it and/or isolate it properly.

  22. Re:It's simple... on Can Recent MS Patents Affect Mono and DotGNU? · · Score: 1

    I think his argument seems more like: In the end the great benefited of .NET/mono development is Microsoft, ergo you're working for Microsoft for free.

    Not to mention that helping Microsoft undermines OSS viability in too many different ways to post in this short message.

    Portability of apps is great, if all parts get equivalent chances/benefits, which it isn't true in this case.

  23. Re:harnessing the public interest on Space Elevator Going Up · · Score: 1

    Why only 100kph?
    Maybe in the first 10km it makes sense to go slow, cause of friction with air, but after that? I don't see any limiting factor to go faster there...

    Don't mind the fact that he was a convinced supporter of Franco's facist,centralist, and therefore rabidly anti-catalanist dictatorship
