  1. Thirdly, ... on Vendors Rally While Windows Sleeps · · Score: 1

    The second technology enables an Internet-based message to wake a Windows PC from sleep mode.

    Intel and Dell declined to discuss a rumored third technology, where by after the second has awakened your PC, an virus is installed.

  2. Re:republicans favoring less government involvemen on 30% of Americans Want "Balanced" Blogging · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ah! I understand, now. On my left, I find... bullshit. On my right, I find... more bullshit! Is it any wonder I don't vote? My choices are between bullshit and bullshit. Well, shit!

  3. Re:And they say ... on Home Science Under Attack In Massachusetts · · Score: 1

    A government wants to do ONE thing -- survive at all costs. Unfortunately, this very easily morphs into "grow at all costs". When it grows too much, if you believe Mr. Jefferson, you must kill it and start over.
    Question is, are we at that point? Dunno 'bout that.

  4. Re:BS on Massachusetts Sues to Halt Defcon Subway Hacking Talk · · Score: 1

    Well, at least it's warm there...

  5. Re:Please tell me you're joking... on Getting Inked for Tux at OSCON · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yes, yes, rub it in... I'm old! :)
    Primos was the operating system for Prime Computer's line of minicomputers. They had a few years of fame as the first mini with disk-backed virtual memory. Then DEC cleaned their clock with VMS and the VAXen.

  6. Please tell me you're joking... on Getting Inked for Tux at OSCON · · Score: 4, Informative

    ... in 25 years, your body-art will be as timely as the "Primos Rules" tattoo I have.

  7. Re:No concern for the foreign readers? on Google URL Index Hits 1 Trillion · · Score: 4, Funny

    Google is headquartered in Mountain View, CA -- I know, 'cause I googled it. Now, California is rather inclined to think of itself as it own country (some would say, universe), but it is indeed part of the United States of America (again, I checked with Google). And in the US, "trillion" == 1E12 (again, Google).

  8. Sergeant! on New Rifle Tech Offers Variable Muzzle Speed · · Score: 1

    > Lund says the technology can be scaled to any size, 'handgun to Howitzer.'"
    Sergeant, set that howitzer to stun!

  9. Re:Death Valley is a bitchin place on Antarctica Once Abutted Death Valley · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's totally like Antarctica.

    Except it is a dry heat, ya'know.

    and the Celtics, or $(your_fav_sports_team) and $(your_fav_russian_ladies_tennis_player). Oh, and Weeds on SHO.

  11. Re:There is only one true keyboard... on Review of Das Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I have purchased 3 unicomp keyboards for this very reason. I'm getting a new system in a few months -- unicomp #4 will be forthcoming.

  12. Grand Central -- details, anyone? on OS X Snow Leopard Details · · Score: 1

    I've been trying to find details on Grand Central with no luck. Anyone know of a link to any? Or, does anyone have substantive info on it they'd like to share here? (We won't tell anyone at Apple, promise...)

  13. Re:Post on Testing Quantum Behavior — From Earth to the ISS · · Score: 4, Funny

    Frist posts like this are just sooooo tomorrow, don't you think?

  14. To summarize... on Do Static Source Code Analysis Tools Really Work? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Static analysis is a tool. In good hands, it is a valuable tool. In expert hands, it can be invaluable, catching really subtle bugs that only show up in situations unlike anything you've ever tested -- or imagined to test. You know, situations like what your customers will experience the weekend after a major upgrade (no joking...)

  15. Re:oldest code in existence on What Is the Oldest Code Written Still Running? · · Score: 4, Funny

    And, not only is it still in existence, it is still running!

    I hope no one was hurt.

  20. Re:But at least the first one on The Real MIT Blackjack Mastermind · · Score: 4, Funny

    /. should allow for a special "Holier Than Thou Anonymous Coward" by-line to make folks like the parent AC feel more welcome...

  21. This one hurts! on Arthur C. Clarke Is Dead At 90 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I see a notice of passing of this or that "famous" person every day. But this one hurts...
    Bon Voyage, Sir Arthur! Many of us will truly miss you...

  22. Re:Quantum Wikipedia on Physics Journal May Reconsider Wikipedia Ban · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, actually, you can measure its quality to any arbitrary accuracy, but you then cannot measure its quantity to any accuracy whatsoever. The converse holds as well.

  23. Re:This...IS....SLASHDOT! on Should Scientists Date People Who Believe Astrology? · · Score: 1

    Well, there was a brief, 5 minute period on November 13, 1996, when I was being robbed at gun point, that large female breasts were not important to me. So, GP is at least theoretically correct...

  24. Re:What happened to secure by design? on Coverity Reports Open Source Security Making Great Strides · · Score: 1

    > Oh right, that was just bs from a bunch of zealots.

    No, that was wise advise from a bunch of humans. But, wise as they might be, if they handed me code they themselves had written, following their own principles, I'd *still* run Coverity over it.

  25. Re:Copyright law is broke. Burn it down. on Judge Rules TorrentSpy Destroyed Evidence · · Score: 1

    You of course have every right not to support current copyright law. But do you have the right to violate current copyright law? It's a serious question: Are the current copyright laws so wrong as to cross the line into the "I have a right to violate immoral (stupid, evil, etc.) laws" realm? I dunno...
