  1. Re:could this affect the /. crowd? on Democrats Appoint RIAA Shill For Convention · · Score: 1

    Lets face it, CowboyNeal probably would do a better job than the current asshats on both sides of the aisle in DC.

  2. ObSpaceballs on The Fine Art of 'Boss Science' · · Score: 4, Funny

    Evil will always win because good is dumb!

  3. Re:Why not just do it yourself? on A Review of the Top Four External Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    According to OSR, who does a lot of training/instruction on the DDK, it's a black art.

  4. Re:Why not just do it yourself? on A Review of the Top Four External Hard Drives · · Score: 3, Informative

    Still I wish windows had good support for EXT2.

    Not the best, but Explore2FS is pretty nice.

    Of course, writing a Windows File System is a black art. If MS documented it better, maybe there'd be more third party file systems.

    You might want to look at this as well -- disclaimer, I haven't tried it, don't know how good it is.

    Oh great, so now we'll have tags that say "Work like IE4".

    And let's start with Howard Stringer as a thank-you for the Sony Rootkit.

    Does anyone speak jive?

    Barbara Billingsley does.

  9. Re:Sorry but the list is BS on Top 10 Firefox Extensions to Avoid · · Score: 2, Funny

    I stop visiting all together (I'm looking at you espn.com)

    I think you mean "I'm talking to you espn.com", since I assume you're no longer looking at it due to annoying ads.

  10. Re:Adblock and Adblock Plus?!?! on Top 10 Firefox Extensions to Avoid · · Score: 1

    On top of ABP and NoScript, I temporarily allowed scripting so I could click on the "Print Article" link. One page all text, ads still blocked by ABP.

  11. Re:The Great Mistake of '08 was no accident on Bad Math Causes Explosion at CERN Collider · · Score: 1

    Just finished rereading all four.... it's the "Big Mistake of '08", not the "Great Mistake".

    Nope. Ghostbusters.

  13. Not a Debian dev, but on Two Major Debian Releases In One Day · · Score: 1

  15. Re:Isn't it obvious? on Does the Windows Logo Mean Anything? · · Score: 1

    Back in the Win2K days, it meant a whole lot more than that. I worked for a company that made server grade FibreChannel HBAs, and getting through the WHQL tests for logo was a major achievement.

  16. Re:Here's a study on Using Two Monitors Makes You More Productive? · · Score: 1

    What's even better is that I have dual 4:3 monitors, and the second is being run in portrait mode.

    Having that second monitor in portrait makes editing code and documentation much easier!

  17. Re:Personally on How Long Does it Take You to Tweak a New Box? · · Score: 1

    I believe Mandriva will do this by default -- I had to turn it off.

  20. Re:Stupidest lawsuit in history? on SCO Legally Assaults PJ of Groklaw · · Score: 1

    So every morning this old guy goes into church, beats his breast, and proclaims, "Oh Lord! If I could only win the lottery, I would die a happy man!".

    Day after day after day... "Oh Lord...."

    Finally, one morning, he goes into church and starts his bit again, "Oh Lord! If I could only win the lottery, I would die a happy man!"

    And from the altar comes a booming voice, "SO BUY A TICKET!!!!!"

  21. Re:Truth, Justice, and the American way on SCO Legally Assaults PJ of Groklaw · · Score: 1

    Yes, PJ really *does* believe in the US Justice system. When people complain about the length of time this fiaSCO has taken, she counsels patience and reminds us that it will work.

  22. Re:SCO still exists? on SCO Legally Assaults PJ of Groklaw · · Score: 1

    The odds are that the reason that they're off line is because they're Slashdotted.

  23. Re:But Darl's got a gun. on SCO Legally Assaults PJ of Groklaw · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why don't we just send Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner after him?

    (and to the mod trolls, no it's not off-topic, reread the parent).

  24. Re:Y2K?? on The Top 21 Tech Flops · · Score: 1

    Exactly. It wasn't worth it to add that case. Yeah, I know the guys in the '50s thought their code wouldn't be around in 2000, but in my case, it was clearly documented in the code and design, and it's a single place.

  25. Re:Y2K?? on The Top 21 Tech Flops · · Score: 1

    Really? I once wrote a piece of code that used the simplifying assumption that year mod 4 was 0 ==> leap year.

    This was documented in the code, as well as in the design documentation. This was for an embedded system that there was less than a snowball's chance in hell of being around in 2100. I think it's out of service now (and no, it wasn't a bad system. It was one of the unsung well-designed systems used in Gulf War I).
