  1. Re:Credit reports? on Passenger Risk Database to be Implemented in U.S. · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that the TSA has the authority to pull your credit report without creating that record.

  2. Re:What's the point? on Passenger Risk Database to be Implemented in U.S. · · Score: 1

    You're right. After 9/11, airplanes are perfectly safe places for terrorists to be. Why do we even bother checking for IDs at all? Terrorists should be free to fly anywhere they want.

  3. Re:Orwellian, don't you think? on Passenger Risk Database to be Implemented in U.S. · · Score: -1, Troll

    Pretent that you are tasked with protecting American lives from Islamic terrorists on your own soil. How would YOU do it?

  4. I don't care on Real Launches New Player, Music Store · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Real will always suck.

  5. Re:27% of google users use windows 98 on Windows 98 Phased Out · · Score: 2, Informative

    Even if 500,000 people figured out how to do this, it would still not count for 1% of Internet users.

  6. Re:Carp are Nasty Fish on Australia To Use GM To Control Carp · · Score: 1
    You should always do that stuff at least thirty feet from the shore.

    Tell that to the fish.

  7. Re:All your base belong to US on Giant International Fusion Reactor Draws Nearer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why would the terrorists attack the French? They're on the same team.

  8. Re:Nothing but a PR move on New York Spam Ring Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    Do you really think that a New York lawyer would need donations?

  9. Re:bin laden.. on Saddam Hussein Arrested · · Score: 1
    Making the decision to go to war is certainly easier if you don't have a family member in the military.

    And it's better that way. I don't want my leaders making important decisions based on emotion.

  10. Re:Yes but one fact remains on SCO Not Lying About DoS Attack · · Score: 1

    You know what I meant.

  11. Re:Yes but one fact remains on SCO Not Lying About DoS Attack · · Score: 1
    How about:

    - They dropped SYNs but ran out of bandwidth.

  12. Re:Here's how to deal with the United Nations on ICANN Troubles At UN Summit On Internet · · Score: 1

    It worked for Saddam too.

  13. Re:Stupid White Men on ICANN Troubles At UN Summit On Internet · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    Here's a tip.

    To avoid looking like an idiot, it would be best to avoid referencing "Michael Moore" in any post.

  14. News flash... on ICANN Troubles At UN Summit On Internet · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The UN is a waste. How are you going to get a group of people representing every ethnicity, religon and country on earth to agree on anything?

  15. Re:Is there some wayt o hold the USPTO liable? on Microsoft Wins HTML App Patent · · Score: 1

    Good idea... lets take the desire to establish patents away from the small inventors and put it in the hands of companies who throw around $10,000 like it's nothing.

  16. Re:Monthly patches? on Microsoft: Patches, Patches Everywhere! · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't think the system would "crumble", as you put it. Microsoft will just do an emergency patch release outside of the normal cycle.

  17. Re:100MHz was the absolute limit on The Most Incorrect Assumptions In Computing? · · Score: 1

    It turns out that the number "100" contains three digits.

  18. Re:The sad part... on MIT Students Get an Education in Software Development · · Score: 1

    This is a great example of why people like you don't get to make these decisions. If you think $400 will get you a great CMS system up and running in a short period of time, then you have no experience with enterprise content management.

  19. Re:NTFS, not good. on Using the Real ntfs.sys Driver Under Linux · · Score: 1

    You can't secure an NT machine using FAT32, which makes it completely pointless. FAT32 doesn't support ACLs and has a tendency to become corrupted. Anyone using FAT32 partitions on a Windows machine is making a very bad decision. It was designed in the 80's, after all.

  20. Re:Funny ... on Intel Researchers See Moore's Law Becoming Obsolete · · Score: 1

    You haven't tried Windows XP yet, have you.

  21. Re:This can save lives too, you know.... on Track People Using Their Mobile Phones · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you're so concerned about saving lives, then why don't you carry a GPS with you and read off the numbers to the 911 operator. There's no reason for them to know where you are unless you want them to.

  22. Re:Lower prices on Game Piracy Results in Lower Prices? · · Score: 1

    What is the game makers' profit margin on a pirated game?

  23. Re:Complaining webmasters? on Google Blocks 'Optimized' Pages · · Score: 1

    While adwords are pretty cool, most people don't even look at them. You still need good search rankings to drive traffic.

  24. Quick, someone upload Sendmail on Webservice Debugs Linux Binaries While-U-Wait · · Score: 4, Funny

    Find out what's wrong with that crap.

  25. Re:That sucks but... on Yahoo Reminds Users That 'No' Doesn't Mean 'No' · · Score: 1

    That's funny... I didn't know that being connected to the Internet requires you to use your ISP's email system.
