  1. Re:As he lit.... on Revenge of the Sith a "Blood Bath" · · Score: 1

    So that means the (classic '70s style) Cylons will show up?

    (see the opening credits)

  2. Re:oblig Churchill on Taking on an Online Extortionist · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, 612710 is a really low UID.

    download a program or file from the network

    So, to get the Computers Merit Badge, you have to give up all hope of getting the IP Merit Badge?

  4. Re:Another giant step backward... on The Pseudoscience of Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    If you look at the original Hebrew, the word translated "day" in Genesis has the same meaning as if I said "In my fathers day,

    Nice try. The actual Hebrew (tranliterated) is, "Vay'hi erev, vay'hi boker, yom echad", or quite literally, "And there was evening, and there was morning, one day". The word "yom" means "day" as most of us understand it.

  5. Re:At last... on Spitzer Sues Intermix Media for Bundling Spyware · · Score: 2, Funny

    Got my mom a T-shirt several years ago, so she could wear it on election day... It read:

    "I'm from Chicago... TWO BALLOTS PLEASE!"

  6. Re:So, if I use the power lines on New Computer Powered By PoE · · Score: 1

    You laugh. But... When I was at a Fibre Channel house, I did the IPFC (IP over FC) drivers. At one point as a joke, I seriously considered writing an IPFCIPFC (IP over (FC over (IP over FC))) driver, just to see if the tunneling would nest.

  7. Re:How to solve these problems. on Spitzer Sues Intermix Media for Bundling Spyware · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that once it's infected, you don't ever really "trust" that computer again. If you've got confidential information on it, it's often easier and safer to wipe the thing and reinstall from scratch.

  8. Re:Privileges anyone? on Microsoft States Full TCP/IP Too Dangerous · · Score: 1

    "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 15"
    "The Sims 2 Deluxe".

    Why either of these requires admin is beyond me. I suspect they write to HKLM and the program directory instead of HKCU and $DOCUMENTS\$USER\ApplicationData....

  9. Re:Ulterior motives on Microsoft States Full TCP/IP Too Dangerous · · Score: 1

    Not until they get the equivalent of either setuid or sudo.

    Yeah, they have "Run As..." and RUNAS (cmd line), but they still require you to know the admin password, which defeats the purpose. Or do you give out your root password to all your users?

  14. Genealogy wrong on SCO Missing 16,209 Files? · · Score: 2, Informative

    OldSCO was never called The SCO Group.

    Caldera bought OldSCO's Operating system division, and merged it into Caldera. What remained of OldSCO became Tarantella. Just before the fiaSCO, Caldera renamed itself "The SCO Group", allegedly for goodwill purposes, but now we see it was to confuse OldSCO and NewSCO.

    I'm not sure when Caldera/newSCO became part of Canopy. And with the settlement of the Yarro case, I'm not sure Canopy owns any of newSCO anyways. I think part of the settlement was that Yarro got all of Canopy's newSCO stock.

  15. Dropping the "E" on SCO Missing 16,209 Files? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They got to drop the "E" as of 21 April. They were never delisted, the "E" indicated potential deslisting.

    They finally filed their paperwork, and NASDAQ said, "fine, you can drop the E".

  16. Re:I Dont want to be SCO. on SCO Missing 16,209 Files? · · Score: 1

    BM seems to have a big counter suit coming that will probably cripple SCO

    What do you mean, "coming"? They've already filed at least 10 counterclaims (i.e. countersuit). Including patent violations and GPL violation(!).

  17. Re:Software - Service on RMS Weighs in on BitKeeper Debacle · · Score: 1

    ANYONE could simply take Redhat Linux, rebrand it as something else, and sell it or give it away for free.

    You mean like Mandriva (formerly Mandrake formerly MacMillan) or White Box Linux?

    Doesn't seem to have deterred RedHat.

    The problem is when the prototype becomes the final product because TPTB don't want to waste money re-doing it.
