  1. gcc: the prefect candidate? on Don't Overlook Efficient C/C++ Cmd Line Processing · · Score: 1
    Tons of options, but what do we see? Only stuff like

    else if (! strncmp (argv[i], "-print-file-name=", 17))

    Maybe they're just too scared of its present options processing to change it.

  2. Re:Ironic Tubes on Senators Call for Universal Internet Filtering · · Score: 2, Informative

    The committee is headed by Inouye, D-HI. Stevens is the vice-chair.

  3. Re:New on "DNS Forgery Pharming" Attack Against BIND 9 · · Score: 3, Informative
    This weakness of BIND has been griped about for TEN YEARS!

  4. Re:More likely... on Does Comcast Hate Firefox? · · Score: 1

    Well, at least you've gotten one of them to switch to "overrated" ;)

  5. Re:When programers fight... on The Current State of the Malware/AntiVirus Arms Race · · Score: 2, Funny

    I tried that, but it was really expensive. After some tweaking, I discovered that it was better to have my computers execute instructions.

  6. Re:Everyone's a critic. on The Art and Science of CSS · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes. This read like a high school book report.

  7. Virii on Top Irritating Words Spawned by Internet · · Score: 2, Informative

    Bad English & bad Latin.

  8. Re:Can we get the tech to continuously accelerate? on The Impossibility of Colonizing the Galaxy · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't you have to start decelerating halfway to your destination? Otherwise it seems you'd just fly on by at close to light speed.

  9. The system does not zap/paintball your car. on New System Detects Calls While Driving · · Score: 3, Informative

    The company's site explains (in annoying Flash) that the system merely photographs the car. Later, the photos are manually inspected to determine whether it was the driver who was using the phone.

  10. Re:What are the reasons for Sendmail? on Linux System Administration · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The last time I needed Sendmail I was using a MicroVAX II as a DECnet/uucp gateway.

  11. The FCC's "Fairness Doctrine" on In Russia, 50% of News Must Be Happy · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If the US begins enforcing it again, how are we any different? "Oh, your broadcast was pro-X. You've got to give equal to the pro-Y guy." Who decides when timeX == timeY?

  12. Re:Bad headline : DNS != Domain Name System on DNS Stressed From Financial Maneuverings · · Score: 1

    Yeah. When I saw the headline, I assumed that Carl Icahn or Kirk Kerkorian were trying to get a corner on the root servers.

  13. Re:Woah.. on Cheap Blood Clot Detection Device · · Score: 1

    The article refers to trauma and boring relief holes into skulls. Brain tumor surgery, except on TV, is not performed absent CT scans.

  14. Re:Woah.. on Cheap Blood Clot Detection Device · · Score: 0, Troll

    Surgeons will go for the CT scan every time. It costs more.

  15. What's in it for AMD? on AMD Donates Servers to Groklaw · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is this their way of atoning for their heightened interest in DRM? "We'll give PJ two servers, but you give up framebuffer access."

  16. Re:Ohm's Law on The Myth of the Superhacker · · Score: 3, Funny

    No. There was simply too much resistance.

  17. Re:Finally, low-end distro? on OLPC Operating System Available to Download · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Wow. Funny. Insightful. Troll. All in one.

  18. Metamoderation helps on Dealing With Venom on the Web · · Score: 5, Insightful

    At least it can help weed out the most abusive moderators. I seldom call a mod unfair, but when I do I suspect I'm not alone.

  19. Here's an idea on Python On Planes Supersunday Release · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Spread these articles throughout the entire month of April. The first one to give them an aprilfools tag gets a free /. subscription.

  20. Re:Moses' stone tablets on How To Properly Archive Data On Disc Media · · Score: 1

    It's the "carefully stored" part that can sometimes be a problem. Cf. Exodus 32:19.

  21. Re:OpenBSD PF on Firewall Recommendations? · · Score: 1

    Me too. Just be sure you track the -stable branch.

  22. Re:Environmental considerations on The Air Car Nears Completion · · Score: 1

    One bright side to global warming is that by the time these things are actually on the market, you'll be able to zip around Alaska in one.

  23. Re:Oh nooooes! on Getting Your Government Files Via the FOIA · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't worry. I'm sure that just making an FOIA request will fatten up your file quickly.

  24. Re:First you go after an obvious scumbag ... on EFF Forces DMCA Abuser to Apologize · · Score: 1
    The real problem is the DMCA. Republicans loved it, Clinton signed it.

    How to repeal it? I don't know. The MAFIAA seem to have broad bi-partisan support.

  25. Re:Knowing Know on The Search for Dark Matter and Dark Energy · · Score: 1

    You're not a theologian, are you?
