    You might want to look at Scalix. They had a nice presentation at SCALE last month.

  12. Re:Richard Reid-Stallman on Sandals and Ponytails Behind Slow Linux Adoption · · Score: 1

    Having been a defense contractor for 20-something years, I can attest to this. This includes generals with up to 3 stars. I can't say anything about the Navy, though -- never worked on a naval contract.

    The only time I have seen military personnel in Dress Greens/Blues is at meetings, and about half of them will wear BDUs to them.

  13. Re:How about a checksum digit in phone numbers? on Homemade Cell Phone Call Blocker? · · Score: 1

    Who says it's misdialed? I get calls from collection agencies because some asshat has given them my number (I assume they picked it out of the air).

    And from that, it becomes obvious that the Hyperintelligent Pandimensional Beings (aka white mice) have 13 fingers in their natural form.

  18. Re:cranky! on Brits To Crash Test a Scramjet · · Score: 1

    Speaking of which...

    A buddy of mine used to tell this story (it may be aprocryphal, since it's a FOAF story)...

    They'd freeze frogs in liquid nitrogen, and throw them against the wall so they'd shatter. They'd then leave the shards in trash cans as a joke, because when they thawed/melted it stunk to high heaven.

    Anyways... one day some dude was going to do this, but didn't have any N2, so he used LOX instead. Froze the frog real good, but when he threw it against the wall, the frog exploded... blew a hole in the wall.

    Advance Disclaimer: I'm Jewish, and the references to the "Hebrews" in this post have to do with the fact that the Bible (OT only) is the story of the Hebrew/Jewish people. No anti-Semitism is implied by this post.
    </POLITICALLY-CORRECT>

    The Bible supports terrorism.

    Note: I define terrorism as attacking a civilian populace to achieve certain political goals.

    1. Bioterrorism. The Plagues of Flies, Murrain, and Boils
    2. Ecoterrorism. The Plague of blood and darkness.
    3. "Plain old" terrorism. The slaying of the first born.

    Political goal? Release of the Hebrews.

    Also, the Bible condones Rape, Incest, (see Genesis) and what would now be considered war crimes (see all the wars of the Hebrews vs. anyone).

  24. Re:Link to clip on FCC Levies Record Indecency Fine · · Score: 1
    Where in the Constitution does it give the FCC (or Congress) the power to levy fines against "indecency"? What part of "Congress shall pass no law..." allows for that?
    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    I don't see "except where said speech is 'indecent'" anywhere in that amendment.
