  1. Re:you ask me what I think? Here's what I know. on Implanted RFID Tag To Replace Cash? · · Score: 1

    C'mon. You don't really believe that they would use this technology in a bad way do you?

  2. Re:Just so people know ... on AMD Breaks Ground on New Chip Facility · · Score: 2, Informative

    Due to the nature in which silicon crystals are grown, they will always come out round. A seed of perfectly aligned silicon is dipped into a crucible of molten silicon. Both are counter-rotated and the seed is slowly pulled from the melt, thus producing a round crystal.

    I have a feeling that making a square wafer out of a round crystal is possible, but it probably isn't cost effective compared to the current ID saw method.

    I worked in the grower industry for a few years but not in a fab. Someone closer to the industry please correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the waster silicon go back to the supplier for re-purification?

    I think it should have read "floating ground" anyway, which I don't recommend.

  8. Re:Hmmmm ? Debian only ? on Perens: Unite behind Debian, UserLinux · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The number of us non-debian users is far greater than the number of debian users

    Replace the words "debian users" with any distribution you like. Since there are so many distros, this statement will always be true. This is nothing more than meaningless chatter...

    ex. The number of us non-redhat users is far greater than the number of redhat users

    Why aren't we speaking up about all of debian's flaws ?

    I don't know, why aren't you? General statements are as useless. Please provide some details next time so we can actually analyze your arguments. Maybe you have some good points, but nobody will ever know because you didn't state them.

    If all you wanted to do is insult debian (and its users) why didn't you just say "Debian Sucks!"?

  9. Technologically Inpet on Millions Delete ALL Music Files? · · Score: 1

    Are they substituting "deleted" for the words "disabled sharing with other users"?"

    This is probably a fair assumption based on the fact that they didn't have the foresight to adopt online music services before they lost control. The music industry is still suffering from their stagnant business model and will continue to do so for a number of years to come.

  10. Re:useful information on What the Candidates are Running · · Score: 1

    Hey, if you do everything through a GUI you don't need to know how it really works. Just paint a pretty picture for everyone to see so we can hide the ugliness which goes on behind the scenes. Sounds familiar huh?

  11. Re:The offending code on Linux Kernel Back-Door Hack Attempt Discovered · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Click on the link in the slashdot blurb. Even though I'm no hardcore coder, it is pretty easy to see the exploit they tried when reading through the LKML thread.

    I always did hate the == comparison operator in C!

  14. Re:bull on Microsoft's new CLI · · Score: 1

    For automating common sysadmin tasks, bash, ksh, csh are perfectly fine most of the time. This includes about 95% of the scripting I do. There is no PERFECT language for everything so choose the right tool for the job. Limiting your skillset to a single scripting language is technical suicide.

    If the only tool in your toolbox is a hammer, then everything starts looking like a nail.

  15. Re:Well about WYSIWYG editors...what about on Lindows Announces Nvu - Frontpage For Linux? · · Score: 1

    I have always preferred writing my HTML from scratch. Gives you the added benefeit of knowing what goes on behind that pretty page layout.

    Quanta seems to do pretty well in this regard. It has decent syntax highlighting for quite a few web languages. Of course it is a KDE app so you need to have support for that. Your kinda screwed if your a lightweight window manager dude(tte).

    Another oldie but goodie is VI (VIM if you desire). You don't even need X for this one!

    That's his mouse dumbass! It's a GUI so he doesn't need to know a damn thing about what he is doing.

    I'm sure in some twisted and convoluted manner, you Windows admins can make that sound more appealing. I, OTOH, like to know what is going on behind the scenes. Please post back when Windows is truly running a data center.

    No, the laws of physics that we know and love here on Earth apply to Mars too. These meteors were blown off of Mars landscape by a meteorite which struck Mars a million or so years ago.

    Imagine the precedent. The RIAA or any other independant agency, can ILLEGALLY hack into a private network without consequence. Let's go back to western justice while we're at it.

    They didn't/don't have the right to hack into Kazaa's network. Hacking into a network is still a crime right?

    On another note, I wonder who Bill "Mr EULA" Gates is suppporting on this one? Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
