  1. That sucks but... on Yahoo Reminds Users That 'No' Doesn't Mean 'No' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It turns out that the study of other planets also requires some investigation into our own.

  3. Re:Yes. He does. on The Riches of Open Source · · Score: 1
    Like Taoist philosophy.. a great leader leads without leading, a great ruler rules without ruling...

  6. Booring on The Anatomy of Cross Site Scripting · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities are just not as exciting as your standard buffer overflow. There are no crashes, no worms, etc. Unfortunately people are just not going to pay attention.

    What is this "TV" thing?

  13. Re:The hybrids are the next step. on The World's Fastest Electric Car · · Score: 2, Informative

    My buddy turned on his Honda hybrid for me yesterday and it said he had been getting 65 mpg. That was in LA traffic.

  14. Re:Penny wise... on Home Brew Hard Drive Silencer/Cooler · · Score: 2, Funny

    The programmer will then try to sell the towel as an end-all solution because it worked on his computer.

    As an employee in a fortune 500 company, I've noticed that admins with 30 years of unix experience seem to be about 15 years behind the rest of the world. Sad but true.

    So, what countries exist where thousands don't die annually in automobile accidents?
