  1. Re:Shakeout? on Cellular and Computing Industries Finally Collide · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I think (...but not necessarily before posting), therefore I am.

  2. Re:I was waiting for this war on Cellular and Computing Industries Finally Collide · · Score: 1

    I can just see it. The next generation nokia phones...
    Volume: 2 in^3
    13 in LCD screen
    80gb DiskOnChip
    USB/SPDIF (IN and OUT), VGA out, firewire...
    ...all running Linux

    ...But with a web-enabled cell-phone, you can chat, drive, drink a soda, smoke, and read slashdot all at once.

    Hey, at least you have female companionship :)

    She may be a geek, but can she _integrate_ the wireless laptop with the toilet, so you can flush it from any internet-ready pc?

  5. Forget transplants... on Getting More Face Time · · Score: 3, Funny

    How about modular faces you can switch out at will?
    Tom Cruise on Monday...
    Brad Pitt on Tuesday...
    Weird Al on Wednsday...

    Ebay won't let you sell body parts, but maybe you can sell your face on uBid :)

  6. Hmm... on Hospital Brought Down by Networking Glitch · · Score: 1

    I wonder who developed their systems. Can we get them to work on palladium?

    I suppose that if the problem was in a microsoft application, they already are ;)

  7. Re:IN SOVIET RUSSIA on NASA Considers Abandoning ISS · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The moderator seemed to be in a little bit of a hurry. It was "ISS abandons Russia", not "Russia abandons ISS" :)

  8. ...another good use on NASA Considers Abandoning ISS · · Score: 1

    They just need to find a way to commercialize it. Something like sports. It would certainly make for some interesting scenes.

    First off, NBA does "Space Jam". I could just see Shaq with his 45-foot slam dunk ;)

    Of course, good wholesome programming like that would have to be followed up with a intellectualy stimulating program like "Extreme Gladiator" - The winner gets to leave the arena before they depressurize it :)

  9. Re:Synopsis. on Internet Site Security · · Score: 1

    A percentage (I don't know what it is, but I suspect it's fairly large, especially for IIS) of web servers are installed in their default configuration, then quickly have the site replaced. The true test, then, would be to get a relativly recent linux distro w/ bundled apache, and a relativly recent IIS distro (say windows 2000 advanced server).

    Which would you rather run? Which one, if compromised poses a greater risk? I don't know about you, but I'd rather have users on _my_ network running apache (heck, I'd prefer an eggdrop with a hand-written TCL web server :) )
    At the very least, script kiddies seem to gravitate to IIS. Perhaps they just think it's cool to bash microsoft, perhaps they like the fact that exploits often run on windows, or perhaps they just like Administrator access better than non-priviledged "nobody" user.

    Hey, I'd rather be in your shoes.
    Imagine a geek with _very_ expensive hardware tastes, who can't get a job, and even gets turned down by Jack in the Box due to lack of experience, despite the fact I spent 4 years working a register.

    Not only have I never kissed a girl, I m poor and can't get a job to save my life. Now _that_'s depressing.

  11. To really send the message that you don't care... on CA Supreme Court Saves LiViD, Pavlovich · · Score: 1

    "Even more than that. Civil disobedience means that you explicitly break a law that you consider wrong, and do so in public or with a maximum of publicity and turn yourself in."

    For bonus points, show up in court wearing one of the copyleft DVD Decryption T-Shirts :)
