    In Korea, only old people use SETI@Home on Beowulf Clusters

  6. Where is LinuxTag? on Ballmer Repeats Threats Against Linux · · Score: 1

    Can we get LinuxTag to do to MS what they did to SCOX? Basically, get a court ruling that says, "Put up or shut up"?

    There software. There castle. Oh, I thought we were just talking that way!

    warning open-source vendors that they must respect his company's intellectual property.

    Yeah, the way that MS respected GO! Computer's, Stacker's, Burst's, and a hosts of others.

  9. Re:They may be .... on iTunes Uncovers Musical Hoax · · Score: 2, Funny

    Stop that and get Bach to work! Or else I will set you up the Brahms!

    Yeah, the beowulf cluster of old koreans is running a dead version of BSD.

  11. Re:Onlookers? on Chinese Hack Attacks on DoD Networks Coordinated · · Score: 1

    Exactly. When setting up a red system, the *FIRST* thing you do is pull the Internet connection, and keep it on a private red net.

  12. Re:Call Bruce Willis on Asteroid Highlighted as Impact Threat · · Score: 5, Funny

    No, it's Apophis, so we call Jack O'Neill. Those darned Goa'uld!

    Ah, memories.... The Electric Company....

    The boy sees the chair.

    Well, since you can post stuff on your MySpace site, yes, that's Freedom of Speech.

  16. CowboyNeal Photos are fake on SCO Vs. Groklaw · · Score: 1

    how can you photograph someone that doesn't exist.

    Photoshop. Or, if you prefer, The GIMP.

    They took that pic in the same film studio they faked the moon landings in.

  17. Re:Does it matter? on SCO Vs. Groklaw · · Score: 3, Funny

  18. RTFGPL on Microsoft Getting Paid for Patents in Linux? · · Score: 1
    And up to this point what has covered EULA such as the GPL?

    RTFGPL, dude. GPL is NOT an EULA. It's a distribution license.

    From the GPL Section 0

    Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
    covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
    running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
    is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
    Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
    Whether that is true depends on what the Program does
  19. Re:Very disappointing overreaction on Cartoon Network CEO Resigns Over Aqua Teen Scare · · Score: 1

    It's not an overreaction by TNT. He left because of a $2Million hit the company took. Yeah, it's not his fault that MA authorities are asshats, but the $2M hits the bottom line.

  20. Re:Infantry proof on Army of Davids Beats Pentagon Procurement · · Score: 1

    Ah, the PRC-77. You could drop an HEA shell on them and they'd keep working.

  21. OT: Your sig on New Universes Will be Born from Ours · · Score: 1

    This sig does not contain any SCO code.

    Are you sure about that?

    Your sig contains the word "This", which is an obvious obfuscation of "this", which is a C++ keyword.

    And, according to Darl McBride, SCO owns C++.

    With "Terrorism" and "Think of the Children" as the alternates?

  24. Re:Really? Not for me. on Upside Down Phone Patent · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've never understood the infatuation with flip-phones

    No keyboard locking necessary. I can't count the number of times my wife has forgotten to lock the keyboard on her Nokia, and buttons get pushed on it in her purse.

  25. Re:Check the author on Texas Bill For Open Documents · · Score: 1

    Besides, it's the Texas Legislature. There ain't nothin' that a briefcase stuffed with $100 bills won't cure.
