  1. Re:One Question:Spary Glue on More on Next-Generation Army Gear · · Score: 1
    Spray Glue, good for 1002 uses...

    I'm afraid there is a always a simple solution to a complex problem. If soldiers wear exoskeletons, fight them in mud, spray them with glue, or just hit them harder.

  2. Re:Does anyone use IE anymore? on Microsoft to Issue Out-of-Cycle Patch for IE · · Score: 1
    IE Compatibility mode?

    No, no - then Sloshdatters won't have anything to complain about anymore...

    Halliburton must have lost them.

  4. Re:On behalf.. on DoubleClick Hit by DDoS Attack · · Score: 1

    Yeah, their intrusive nature and bright flashy things are what makes me use Links for much of my web browsing. Any news sites such as Slashdot, CNN and so on, all work great with Links.

  5. Re:Come on! on Microsoft Outsourcing High-Level Work · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    What are all these complaints about colour schemes? With Links, it is all green and black...

    for the next version of Longhorn and MS Office 2008, that's all...

  7. Re:What would this be used for? on SGI & NASA Plan 10240-Processor Altix Cluster · · Score: 1

    It is to create realistic movies of men walking on Mars. There were many complaints about the Moon movies, so they have to do something about that. on the whole, the super computer is much cheaper than actually going to Mars, so it is money well spent and accords with the latest budget reductions...

  8. Re:It's scary how many people fall for this stuff. on Phish Scams Fooling 28% of Users · · Score: 1

    Uhm, now if she is your client, why does your mail system allow executable attachments through?

  9. Windows version 1? on Skype 1.0 For Windows Released, Updated Linux Beta · · Score: 1

    Uhhh, where are we gonna get that and why would anyone want to run anything on Windows version 1?

  10. Re:Saturday Morning TV on Microsoft Pockets Patent for Encouraging TV Viewing · · Score: 1

    To the patent office, the only prior art is prior patents. They do not look at anything else. Therefore, your example of 1970 TV cartoon competitions is not a concern to them, since it wasn't patented...

  11. Dynosaur skeletons and oil on Mars Had Surface Water for Eons · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That is all they need to find, to cause a new space race.

  14. Re:Wuh? on StorageTek Blocks 3rd Party Maintenance with DMCA · · Score: 1

    Who owns the HW/SW depends on the state you live in. Go read your local 'Sale of Goods Act' or whatever it is called in your locale. If you own the product then you can do with it whatever you bloody want. If you are leasing the product, then you don't own it...

  15. Re:Lose your data to DMCA ? on StorageTek Blocks 3rd Party Maintenance with DMCA · · Score: 1

    Hmm, people have been running away from the free USA to the oppressive Mexico or Canada for centuries, for various good reasons. However, I never thought that a stupid law like the DMCA could add impetus to that in modern times.

  16. 1.47% ham on USA, UK, Australia Sign Anti-Spam Memorandum · · Score: 1

    Well, I reached some sort of a milestone. Looking at the sizes of my mail logs, counting bytes, not number of messages - I see that in June, my mail was 95% spam, 3.53% MS Windows viruses and only 1.47% clean mail - sigh...

  17. Re:Good precedent on Canadian High Court Says ISPs Don't Owe Royalties · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, not as simple as that. The court system in canada is a bit weird. The provinces generally accept the rulings from the Supreme Court, although they do not really have to. The provincial Courts of Queen's Bench is legally equal in stature to the Supreme Court. It is theoretically possible to be found guilty in Ottawa and not guilty in Alberta and then you'll be fine provided that you stay in Alberta. Because Canada is a Commonwealth member, the ultimate court would be the Law Lords in London UK, although it has to be an extremely exceptional thing to ever go there - about once in 100 years - if that often.

  18. Re:If It's Monday... on Disney Launches Fireworks With Compressed Air · · Score: 1

    Why the hell does Yanks say: "I forget". My primary school teacher will spin in her grave. Repeat after me: "I forgot, I forgot, I..." uhh, what was that?

  23. Finger trouble on Which RAID for a Personal Fileserver? · · Score: 1

    is more common than HW failures. Therefore, instead of RAID1, I use 2 drives with rsync every night. This gives redundancy with a time lag. If you accidentally screw things up, then you can go and dig on the second drive.
