  1. Re:Codename? on Fedora Core 2 Officially Available · · Score: 1

    So Homer Simpson is the release manager?

  2. Lost Wages on Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas Details Revealed · · Score: 3, Funny

    They should have called Las Vegas "Lost Wages" (like in Leisure Suit Larry (Yes, I'm that old)).

  3. Re:War on Prawns! on U.S. Justice Department Prepares Assault on Pr0n · · Score: 2, Funny

    Everyone in the San Fernando Valley, RUN!

    Your computer will be much more stable.
    (Because you won't be able to upgrade it often.)

  5. Re:Real benefits... on The New Linux Speed Trick · · Score: 1

    Smaller binaries also use less RAM/VM, often resulting in better system performance, which is one reason why MS optimizes all their stuff for size.

    if it was electricity, wouldn't the creation of a recharger be trivial?

    Unless it needs liquid helium cooling! :p

  7. Re:Stupid Fish on Buckyballs Kill Fish · · Score: 1

    Maybe they forgot to warn the fish not to taunt the buckyballs.

  8. hurricanes in California on Rare South Atlantic Hurricane Heads Toward Brazil · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We had the tail end of a hurricane from baja hit southern California about 2 years ago... a very rare event.
    It didn't do a whole lot of damage; many areas get 80-90mph Santa Ana winds occasionally.

  9. Re:Finding Nemo on New Marine Species, Dragonfish Eats Lanternfish · · Score: 1

    I believe the fish in Nemo was an AnglerFish.
    Similar looking, but they have their "lamp" above their heads.

    There's a nice painting of one here. More resolutions here.

  10. Re:By strip all executables... on Nasty New Virus Variants · · Score: 1, Funny

    The proper name is OutBreak.

  11. Re:protecting from viruses on Nasty New Virus Variants · · Score: 1

    I use procmail to save the HEADERS of infected messages, and I save the report from the AV sw (Amavis), but the body with the attachments get nuked.

    This way, if a user says they didn't get some mail, there's a full record of it. However, this hasn't actually ever happened.

  12. Re:So? People gamble on longer odds on Reanimated Lobsters? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but dead people don't sue. :)

    I know, I know; their trustee still could.

    Why didn't the father donate 1/2 of his liver instead of making (yet another) clone??

    Mass and lift would be constant in your proposed closed system.

  15. Re:Building code from specification on Why Programming Still Stinks · · Score: 1
    There's obviously a conspiracy by the computer-programming industry to ensure job security.

    This is why I propose someone start a site called thugs4hire.com. If you get ripped off, you can send someone over from a network of thugs to beat the living crap out of the scammer.

    Well, there already is HiredGoons.ca

  17. Re:I used to vigilante too on eBay Fraud Vigilantes · · Score: 1

    Not only do you need tracking, you also need delivery confirmation on items over a certain amount. (I think it's $100 or $200.)

    This information is not easy to find on PayPal's site.

  18. Re:Reg Free Link on eBay Fraud Vigilantes · · Score: 1

    That article is MUCH shorter.

  21. Re:Redhat? on Multiple Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL · · Score: 1
    Us poor souls still running RH{7,8} don't have a choice but to build and install from scratch.

  24. Re:Fascism IS Socialism on Viet Dinh Defends The Patriot Act · · Score: 1

    Lenin was the first to "implement Marxism".

    Yet, this does not mean that was what Marx had in mind; in fact there is no indication Marx believed in national goverment at all.

    Lenin was most likely a murderer and possibly insane.

    It is also extremely questionable whether he really believed in Marxism or was just riding the revolution to gain power.

    Mussolini's fascism was ANTI-communism. (see here)

    Stalin was NEVER a Marxist.

    Mao: totalitarian.

    Just because they claimed to be Marxists never made it true.

    Castro's Cuba is probably the most Marxist of them all, but still he runs an strongly Authoritarian gov't.

  25. Re:Fascism is Socialism on Viet Dinh Defends The Patriot Act · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Marxism and Socialism are left or liberal.

    Totalitarianism and Fascism are extreme right.

    BTW, there has NEVER been a Marxist country.
