  1. Re:A person is a irresponsible admin if they... on Should You Trust MAPS? · · Score: 1

    No one said he was using it.

    Perhaps some of his customers were.

  2. Re:I don't agree on Google Suggest Dissected · · Score: 2, Funny

    You should also refer him to this site.

  3. Re:Reducing eyestrain on Reducing Eye Strain? · · Score: 1

    I like Cyan text on a black background.
    (Cyan = full (bright) Green + full Blue)

    Much easier on my eyes than white on black.

  4. Re:Jackson Pollock on Using Computers To Weed Out Art Fakes · · Score: 1

    IIRC, Pollock used cheap house paint which only lasts 10-20 years outdoors, so his paintings are all deteriorating.

    I've seen a couple of his works, and they looked quite dried out to me.

    I would think it would be terribly difficult to forge one of his paintings today, unless there is some way to age the paint rapidly.

  5. Re:Reminds me of my early Linux exploits on Profanity Adventures · · Score: 2, Interesting
    On a VAX at CSUF, typing 'why' at the shell resulted in:

    Why Ask Why?
    Because you aren't a Golabi, that's why.

    I still don't understand the meaning/reference of this, and Google isn't much help.

  6. Re:computers in India on How Cheap Can A PC Be? · · Score: 1

    FWIW, if you import stuff from Asia in containers, you can send them back full of other stuff VERY cheap.

  7. Re:Grand Theft Endo on Grand Theftendo Homebrew port of GTA III to NES · · Score: 1

    FWIW, GTA Vice City has a few bikes.

  8. Re:Freenet on P2P Not Dead, Just Hiding · · Score: 1

    Plausible deniability or something like that...
    In theory.

  9. Re:Geez on P2P Not Dead, Just Hiding · · Score: 2, Funny

    But... the revolution will not be televised!

  10. Re:I had a shell on the machine for day on SGI & NASA Build World's Fastest Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    30secs has already been beat, at least on 2.4.x kernels.

    I don't recall what FS was used.

  11. Re:Ya know... on SGI & NASA Build World's Fastest Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Could be worse... like an OS stolen by a Harvard dropout designed for an 8-bit computer.

  12. Re:Brain Germs? on Flying By Brain · · Score: 1

    Syphillis (sp?) eventually attacks the heart and brain. Just ask Hitler.

  13. Re:...with your flag on Linux Supporting G5 Liquid Cooling System · · Score: 1

    Stole the sig off another site after Patriot Act passed. Haven't heard the song but will look for it.

  14. Site getting slow -- Coral Link on Linux Supporting G5 Liquid Cooling System · · Score: 1
  15. Re:Easy solution on Spyware/Adware Prevention In Large Deployments? · · Score: 1

    Most ad/spyware has been installing automagically through IE.

    Everyone I know who uses IE has been infected by spyware/adware.
    This includes competent programmers and techs.

    No one I know who uses Mozilla has been infected.

  16. Re:ICE AGE on Solar Minimum Coming Sooner Than Expected · · Score: 1

    that should offset global warming then.

  17. Re:Hrm. can't access the site... on The Hardware Behind Echelon Revealed · · Score: 1

    The mirrordot cache isn't working either. The header comes up, and that's it.

    Mirrordot's home page works though.

    I think it got slashdotted before mirrordot picked it up, or something like that.

  18. Re:First Image on Chinese Satellite Crashes Into House · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What about the phone?
    There are millions of Chinese living outside China, and many of them talk to their relatives in China regularly on the phone.

  19. Re:Copyright Question on GTA: San Andreas Radio and Soundtrack · · Score: 1

    They sold music CD's (boxed set) for the last 1 or 2 games.

    Also, the music is probably in some sort of mp3 format, at least on the PC version. The sound effects and voices are all wavs and mp3s, at least.

  20. Re:Not 3rd fastest, in fact not on list at all. on InfiniBand Drivers Released for Xserve G5 Clusters · · Score: 1

    I hope Apple is giving them a REALLY big discount on those XServes or they just spent a fortune for a 17% gain.

  21. Re:Whine, whine, whine on One Terrible Job: IT Manager · · Score: 1

    But imagine having to manage the BOFH.

  22. Re:Topic icon on Inside The First Pocket PC Trojan · · Score: 1
    That's a caterpillar, not a worm.

    Yes, but in the US at least, that particular caterpillar is commonly known as an inchworm.

  23. Cat Herder on One Terrible Job: IT Manager · · Score: 1

    So are they saying herding cats is a terrible job?

  24. Re:Take note on Global Air Pollution, From Above · · Score: 1

    NO2 is one of the pollutants that is measured and restricted in California's smog tests.

  25. Re:Ape which kills fully grown lions? on A New Species Of Giant Ape? · · Score: 1

    That article mentions reticulated pythons but I'd swear that pic is of a burmese.
