  1. Pentaho on Your 'Clickprint' Gives Away Your Identity Online · · Score: -1

    Wow, that is a serious piece of software. It looks perfect for somethings the company I work for.

    Are there any examples of other companies that are using it? I'd love to make a case for it here at my shop.

  2. people in poor countries can't afford software... on Software Piracy Will Get Worse · · Score: -1
    so they get it the only way they can - by pirating it.

    These shouldn't be counted as a "loss" because the users wouldn't have ever bought the software because they could never afford it.

  3. Re:I don't get it. on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1
    draft would have happened either way. America as a country is totally fucked and I honestly think nothing less than civil war/revolution will fix things. You're very overdue for one.

    Although I suppose so many american are so self centered that it would be done for all of the wrong reasons.

  4. Re:Oh Canada! on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 5, Funny

    Are you sure you want to be a victim of America's foreign policy?

  5. what have you done? on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    here's to 4 more years of continuous war,
    and a greater divide between the rich and the poor.

  6. Re:The Real Dangers on How has the USA PATRIOT Act Affected You? · · Score: 1

    hahahaha... slashdot... subversive... I almost fell off my chair laughing when I read that. Thanks for the laugh.

  7. Re:typical Canadians on Canadian Public Radio Streaming Ogg Vorbis · · Score: 2, Informative
    you must be troll. and I shouldn't even be dignifying your post with a response, but your argument makes no sense. Marriage and making babies are two separate things. You can make babies and not be married. Or you could be married and not be able to make babies (i.e. one or both partners are infertile).

    So by your logic you shouldn't be able to get married if you're infertile??

    You can't marry your cat b/c your cat isn't human and doesn't have the same rights as humans. There are economic advantages to being recognized as married. Spousal benefits and widowers pensions etc. Your cat doesn't deserve or need those things, while a life partner (homosexual or heterosexual) does.

  8. Re:The CBC kicks ass on Canadian Public Radio Streaming Ogg Vorbis · · Score: 1
    ummm.. almost everyone I know listens to cbc radio regularly. It's really the only good radio as far as I'm concerned.

    If I want to listen to music, then I usually go elsewhere (college radio if possible), but for content, it's cbc all the way.

    that is an awesome sig.

  10. Re:Second hand smoke DOES NOT kill non-smokers on Battery-powered Cigarettes? · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    maybe it doesn't kill me, but it sure makes me feel like a bag of shit when I'm forced to drive in a car with a smoker.

    regular smoke, e.g. sitting around a campfire or those left handed cigarettes don't make me feel nauseous, but cigarettes sure do.

  11. Re:I beg to disaggree on Game Developers: Stop Overpromising · · Score: 1

    wow, you've really thought this out.

    good analysis though.

  12. Re:Surely you must be joking Mr Feynman on Steel Bolt Hacking · · Score: 2, Interesting

    yes, it was 5,5,5 or something similar iirc. In the book he describes how most people just left the default combo in there. it's just like people having their bank passwords set to their name.

  13. Reverse engineer on Time to Kill Microsoft Word? · · Score: 1

    I reverse engineered the PowerPoint format. I worked for a company that needed it done. They had also reverse engineered the Word format before I started there. Putting in a reveal codes function should be trivial for them. We essentially did it, and we only had a partial road map. (iirc the MSDN 94 CD had a partial spec of the containers etc, but it was taken out for the MSDN 95 CD. The partial spec gives you a good start on it)

    free coffee!?! lucky bastard....

  15. Re:Are jobs coming into vogue again? on Are Job Perks Coming into Vogue Again? · · Score: 1

    I'm still getting paid less now as a 2nd year database developer than I did as a 4-month co-op student junior programmer (before the bubble burst) .
