  1. patch on Windows XP SP2 Delayed Until Late 2004 · · Score: 1

    I guess they need some time to write patches for everything that SP2 breaks.

  2. DNA on World's First Game-Playing DNA Computer · · Score: 1

    If you or someone you know is tired of poking their fingers for tic-tac-toe blood samples you should try our new DNA testing supplies...

  3. Re:What is it with ONE? on Palm Reveals New Name · · Score: 1

    Here is an unofficial answer, plus some half-a$$ logic... Apple uses 'i' and not to be outdone by a cute naming convention, they needed to come up with something. 'i' is the Roman symbol for 1, or One. Coincidence... I think NOT! iMac iPod iPalm? Doesn't quite work.

  4. oh ya on Cognitive Machines Help Decision-Making · · Score: 1

    Ya, but can they help me pick out a shirt and pants that match in the morning?

  5. they're out there on Los Alamos to Use AMD's Opteron in Linux Clusters · · Score: 1

    I think they're using Opteron processors to be more compatible with the aliens' OS.

  6. BINGO on LavaRnd: A Open Source Project for Truly Random Numbers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why not use the bingo number tumbler for the seed?

  7. Re:Slashdotted already on Power Outages Strike East Coast · · Score: 1

    So the electric company has a backup for their web-site but nothing for a silly little power grid?

  8. It's starting... on Robots for Air Force Protection · · Score: 1

    All your base are belong to us.

  9. so... on RedHat Starts "Open Source Now" Fund · · Score: 1

    So, if SCO "buys" a copy of RedHat for "R&D" does that mean they'd be contributing to a fund to protect programmers against themselves? And if one of their programmers adds to any GPL code, they could sue their own employee but he'd be able to hire a laywer from the fund they added to...

  10. I wonder... on Microsoft Code at Fault for Half of all Windows Crashes · · Score: 1

    I wonder if they have any conclusions about who is responsible for Linux crashes, oh wait, it doesn't crash...

  11. Exchange on Win32 Blaster Worm is on the Rise · · Score: 1

    I'd like to point out to anyone running Exchange (ver 2000 tested) that like most other M$ patches, it does more harm than good. After applying the RPC patch, nobody can connect to the Exchange server. After removing the patch all is well again. Hmmm... is this a bug or a feature?
