  1. Re:Non-final? on Microsoft Recalls Small Business Server · · Score: 1

    The only reason why I can see a recall over a patch would be something global like this.
    even if (in jest) it was

    #define INSERT_NSA_HOLES TRUE

    but more likely will be because of the compiler options used, a patch would be fullsize and not actually a patch.

    Otherwise, why bother patching.

  2. In case your wondering... on Download Torrents With Your PC Turned Off · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yes, it does run linux.

    Hmmmmmmm I am an interesting troll, how novel.

    My missus draws a picture of me sitting under a bridge everytime I get one of these unintentional mods :(

  4. Re:Popups on Google Targets TV Advertising · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ahhhh but they get my attention in the wrong way.

    I have a mental blacklist of companies who no matter how tempting the offer they will never ever get a sale from me again.

  5. If Plasma is betamax on Are Plasma TVs the Next BetaMax? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Then my CRT must be a wax cylinder :(

    Strangely enough, it doesn't suffer from uneven fade or blurring and has survived years with the kids knocking against it and still looks damn good.

    I must really be behind the times if I want to pay more money for something with less quality and features...

  6. Re:No, its not time to upgrade. on Upgrading Wi-Fi — What, When, and Why · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If your users are bitching that the net is too slow, upgrade.

    Or, you could just allow standard port access and remove all the crap, its a wireless web interface not a bittorrent seeding point.
    (Note, I'm talking about public shared access connections, what you do with your home connection is up to you)

    It absolutely shouldn't be posted in big.

    Are you sure you want to quit?

    Yes

    I am sorry, you have not yet completed 18 hour units of playtime, you must continue playing for another 16 hours to enable the Quit command.

  9. Re:crystals on Molecules Spontaneously Form Honycomb · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This doesn't seem any more unusual than a crystal lattice.
    Its just doing it in another molecule.

    I'm with the GP, its not earth shattering.

  10. Not available in UK on Locking Up Linux, Creating a Cryptobook · · Score: 2, Informative

    Apparantly, from the UK tomshardware.com redirects to tomshardware.co.uk which doesn't have the article.

    Thats just annoying as hell.

    Dude, you are in the Apple section, to return to normally, see here.

  12. Most unintuitive thing I've done on Computer Voodoo? · · Score: 1

    I had just purchased a nvidia gforce 4200 and had it sitting proudly inside the open case of my computer when disaster struck.
    A can of coke got poured into it and all over the place.

    I saw the magic smoke :(

    My heart sank as the coke soaked itself into the dust bunnies around the machine and dripped slowly from the (now stopped) fan of the new card.

    I disassembled everything and did the only thing I could, I went and gave it a cold shower (just the mobo/gfx card).

    Remarkably a couple of hours later the machine was back up and ran without issue for another 18 months :D

    You do what every other geek with a girlfriend does on Valentines day.

    You fix her computer of course.

  16. Re:Do the math... on Our Moon Could Become a Planet · · Score: 5, Informative

    Consider 2 bodies of equal mass seperated by a distance of X.
    The Centre of mass is right in the centre of the space between them.

    The distance X increases by 1 unit, does the centre of mass also increase by 1 unit?

    Adjust this equation to put it into earth/lunar context and you will understand why scientists don't just "google the math".

    Good point, I'll defer to my sig in this instance.

  23. Re:gOOD lUCK on War Declared on Caps Lock Key · · Score: 1

    I don't look at the screen all the time whilst typing for the same reason I don't look at my feet all the time whilst walking. Usually I am typing up some notes I've made on paper or writing from memory whilst reading up on my actual work. I normally notice (on average) about half a line along that its wrong.

    Typing is really easy and doesn't involve looking whilst I am doing it but depending upon the keyboard I use I occasionally catch the caps lock and I remarked it would be better elsewhere.

    By the way just because I'm curious, how the hell do you get to feeding kids and cleaner energy from touch typing?

    I don't mind it existing, it just pisses me off where it actually is.
    Its one thing to have an accidental character in your text, its another to completely mess up the rest of the line.
