  1. Cable Guy! on Webcams to Enforce Singapore Quarantine · · Score: 1

    Thats right sir and or madam, please wait at home and one of our top-notch webcam installation experts will be around sometime between the hours of 7 and 5, on Thursday, sometime in June.

    They couldnt come up with a simpler, less (dare I say, pathetic use of the internet technologies) costly solution? Crap, try the phone T-Netix

  2. Re:Why? on Everything you Want to Know About the Turing Test · · Score: 5, Funny

    they will surely out think us, and then what

    For one, they will become so wired in to the network that they will immediately proceed to hunt you down as an obvious objector to their plans for global domination. Oh, and none of that 'there is no spoon' crap - that was patched last Friday.

  3. 100% of core code, but nothing else on Microsoft Shared Source -- With a Twist · · Score: 1

    The download contains no window manager code, no GDI, no file system, no process management, no shell, nothing that actually would have made this an interesting release.

    Ive got to remember to not fall for that '100%' trick again.

  4. EULA != License? on Microsoft Pirating Their Own Software? · · Score: 1

    Not that I read such things, but I was under the impression that an EULA was a license. Please explain the difference. Id be happy to start selling free/open software if I can ignore the requirement that it be attributed as such - no serial number, no paper, so no license right?

  5. Dont Know. Do You? on Former Intel Employee 'Disappeared' by U.S. · · Score: 1

    Maybe the dumbass in the next cel over was looking at him 'funny'?

    Point is, we dont know. But if we dont know then why the presumption that the evil government has him and will surely be mistreating him?

    Theres a segment of the population that does not and will not trust the government to act decently. There is another segment that does, but will also hold that government accountable for any abuses of that trust. The first segment tends to bitch and whine about every potential abuse, but never actually do anything. The second is the one to act when it actually occurs. Based on a sampling of posts, ./'ers tend to fall in to the first group.

  6. Dont like it? Then change the law on Former Intel Employee 'Disappeared' by U.S. · · Score: 1

    Is it that much of a stretch to the imagination to consider that maybe there is a legitimate reason for holding this guy? Not that he himself is to be charged with a crime, but that he knows someone who can be?

    Nope, its so much easier to label the US a Fascist nation. To easy to assume were plannng on locking up all arabs. You all enjoy picturing Rumsfeld in jackboots (maybe some leather fetish you have?)

    The Material Witness rules have been on the books for almost 20 years. They have survived 4 presidents, including the golden age of Clinton. In this situation again, the law has been used and appears to have been used (proceduraly) correctly.

  7. And I was just getting used to... on The Era Of Satellite News Gathering · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...the crappy videophone reporting feeds

  8. Thank you thank you thank you on Dissecting Localized Google Censorship · · Score: 1

    Not so much for the google-blacklisting info, but for the embedded link to the following news item...
    Vigilantes mistake pediatrician for pedophile and attack home
    Im still laughing over this one

  9. Re:I dont get it on Sharp Ships Zaurus SL-5600; 5500 Available Cheap · · Score: 1

    IR is good for linking to your phone as well. Bluetooth would be better, but IR is a good old standby.

  10. Re: Bwahaha on Debunking Linux-Windows Market Share Myths · · Score: 1

    The Coward part of your nick is very appropriate.

  11. Nothing from nothing on Ask Nicholas Petreley About Linux Usage Statistics · · Score: 1

    "...research report focused on Linux developers"
    "More than 70 percent of developers say they install Linux over whatever OS happens to be pre-installed on the machines they buy"

    So, only 70% of linux developers install linux?
    Only 40% of linux developers work primarily on linux?
    and so on...

  12. 40% of developers concentrating on Linux because on Debunking Linux-Windows Market Share Myths · · Score: 1

    ...40% of developers are now out of work and have nothing better to do. When they go back to work theyll go back to using Windows. Doesnt matter wether you or I like it, its reality. This survey is just a pulling o' the numbers (it is St Patricks day) out of ones arse.
