    On Win7, how the F*** do you log off, shutdown, or restart without a mouse?

    Only through obedience and faith can we hope to preserve our way of life against authoritarian fanaticism.

    You mean like the one where they write to the root directory, even if you're not root?

    What makes you think anyone is going to focus on the short term alone?

    There. Fixed that for ya.

  11. Mutant Cats on The History of the Videophone In Sci-Fi · · Score: 1

    Out of idle curiosity, what's the RFC for IP via Mutant Cat Carriers?

    Or is it simply an adaptation of RFC 1149?

  12. Re:I had some of this crap infect my computer on FBI Shuts Down Major Scareware Gang · · Score: 1

    My daughter got one of these on her laptop... during finals week... (ugh).

    Luckily, she had already printed out and/or submitted all her term papers.

    The damn thing also installed a MBR virus (at least FIXMBR reported a changed MBR).

    I wound up booting from a Linux LiveCD, copying her "My Documents" and "My Pictures" onto flash. Then I *ZEROED* /dev/sda before I reinstalled XP from scratch.

    I hope they lock these bastards up and throw away the key.

  20. Let's see the issues. on SpaceX Sues Valador For Defamation · · Score: 1

    Titan III was never man-rated. Gemini-Titan was a Titan II derivative.

    You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice

    * Receive million dollar bonus.

    Hmmmm.... Which one looks more attractive to a student?

  24. Re:Heinlein on Court Case To Test Legality of Recording the Police With Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    Absolutely nothing is wrong with Heinlein's works (at least before he wrote "The Number of the Beast", but that's another debate).

    I loved the novel Starship Troopers, and also The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

    I was just pointing out the ref for the Philistines who have never read it.
