  1. Will they repeal the media tax? on Canada Considers copying the DMCA · · Score: 1

    Not a chance in hell, but now you're paying taxes to be able to do something which will now be illegal.

  2. Re:That sucks on Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8 · · Score: 1

    I meant the Address Bar history.

  3. Re:That sucks on Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8 · · Score: 1

    My favorite: how do you clear the address bar only?

    I can't find a Tools => Options/Edit => Preferences for it in 1.0.1

  4. Re:Oh, wicked, bad, naughty, evil Google! on Google Punishes Self for Cloaking · · Score: 1

    All right, time to go. It's too perilous here.

  5. Re:There's a good reason on Israeli Army Frowns on D&D · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Dun Malg is correct. I'm having this same debate over on another board, with someone who is convinced that the US Military is all about robotically following orders.

    Current US doctrine calls for highly trained professional warriors. You don't get that with "Obey any and all dumb orders and don't think". They *WANT* people who show initiative. I've been a defense contractor for 20 years, and without exception, the people I've dealt with -- from E-1s up to 2-stars -- have been intelligent, capable people.

  6. Real-World problems? on World's First Physics Processing Unit · · Score: 1

    I did RTFA, and didn't see an answer to this one. I was wondering if this could be used to accelerate simulations/calculations for real-world problems, as well as for games.

  7. Re:Fight Slime with Slime on "Enemies of Linux" Trying to Undermine OS? · · Score: 1

    Linux remends me of how the Three Amogos managed to beat the crap out of El Guapo.

    Would you say that I have a plethora of pinatas?

  8. Re:Final show appalling? on Can Sci-Fi Fans Face the Future? · · Score: 1

    yep. The killer B's called it a "valentine" to the fans. I guess that means we bend over.

  9. Re:Now she's headed for the World Bank... on An Engineer's View of Carly Fiorina's Leadership · · Score: 1

    Yep, Carly destroyed two of the greatest R&D cultures in the world. But hey, look at those really cheap and low quality inkjet printers HP puts out now.

    Thank G-d she wasn't in charge of Agilent -- I wonder if the can buy the name back, and H-Paq could go back to being Compaq.

  10. Re:Image a.... on Windows Cluster Edition · · Score: 1

    I thought it had already been imagined.

  11. Re:Stay !!! Dead dog !!! on EU Patents Won't Stay Dead · · Score: 1

    BTW, in my original submission, I had compared the EU Patent Directive to Freddy and Jason.

    Also commented on the fact that at least the EC is a bunch of honest politicians -- once they're bought, they stay bought.

  12. Re:In other news... Rambus faces patent infringeme on Rambus Patent Claims Dismissed · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think Rambus has the prior art.

  13. Re:But... on MS-DOS Paternity Dispute Goes to Court · · Score: 1

    Ken Brown, is that you?

  14. Re:one word on Firefox-Based Netscape 8 Beta Goes Live · · Score: 2, Funny

    ME TOO!

    (Darn it! Had to do that manually, there's no automagic ME TOO button in FF). Oh, and you forgot the auto-caps-lock preference (on by default) so that they can post in ALL CAPS!

  15. Re:Kit TVs on Build Your Own TV Without Broadcast Flags · · Score: 1

    What's a good card currently on the market without broadcast flag support?

  16. Re:um, what? on Build Your Own TV Without Broadcast Flags · · Score: 3, Informative

    Actually, it *is* a Constitutional issue. See The Ninth and The Tenth Amendments.

    Simply put, the Ninth says, "Even if we didn't mention them, you still have all your rights". The Tenth says, "If we didn't talk about it here, the Feds have no power to do it."

  17. Buzzword Bingo on When Should You Quit Your Job? · · Score: 1

    To quote Wally from Dilbert: Bingo

  18. Re:Not so clasic on Double-Slit Experiment in Time, Not Space · · Score: 1

    In "Schroedinger's Kittens", Gribbin described a 1998(?) experiment that also threw doubt on the Complementarity Principle.

    Essentially, the experiment involved photons and behaving as particles, and searching for particles, but it also involved tunneling and wavelike behavior. I haven't heard anything else about it, so maybe the experment was non-reproducible, or had some flaw.

  19. Re:Is this MGM versus P2P or MGM vs Grokster? on MGM v. Grokster: Here's Why P2P is Valuable · · Score: 1

    If that's what you are using P2P for, then you really don't have anything to worry about..

    "If you've done nothing wrong, then you have nothing to fear..."

    Same argument, same BS.

  21. Re:Info for the masses on Linux Kernel 2.6.11 Released · · Score: 1


    It's been a couple of years since I looked at IB, but I thougt it used IPv6 addressing (or some close variant thereof).

    Side note: when I worked at a Fibre Channel startup, some of our guys left to go work over at TopSpin.

    Tracy, Meher, if you're reading this -- Hi!

    My old Tandon 286 had a version of RAMDRIVE for DOS 3.2 that was persistent across a 3-finger salute.
