  1. Re:Less TV == more social on Social Side-Effects Of Internet Use · · Score: 3, Funny

    And considering the average family has 2.6 children i can't imagine how they have time for any of this nonsense, since I imagine the average medical bills to care for a 0.6 child must be astronomical, typically.

    it's disturbing that nobody has acknowledged that this entire article was an excuse to the word "equine"

    I think the bottom line needs to be more than "don't accept any advice on how to run your company unless it makes sense to you, irrespective of what anyone says."

    Isn't this exactly what your aforementioned buddy did? At the time, didn't throwing that launch party make sense to him?

    I think the real bottom line is, don't get involved with businesspeople whose decision-making you don't respect!

  5. Spam filtering on What Applications Will Drive System Performance? · · Score: 1
    Soon enough, filtering spam with 100% accuracy is going to rival emulation of the human brain.

    It will be the Turing test of the 21st century.

  6. Re:fingerprints? on Californians To Vote On Largest DNA Database · · Score: 2, Informative

    Fingerprints are problematic: direct contact is required (germ issues) and oil, moisture and dirt can all confound readings.

    Does "alpha" mean bug-free? No.

    Does "beta" mean bug-free? No.

    Does "stable" mean bug-free? No.

    These labels have nothing to do with optimizations or improvements; they are reflections of a team's comfort level with a products' defects and limitations.

    Serious question:

    What was so involved that it took you two weeks to decontent/update XP to run "acceptably?"

    Apparently Microsoft has succeeded in making people feel their systems are stable as long as they don't need to be reformatted frequently?

    Gentlemen, you'll both recall I made fun of each of your respective "observations" in aforementioned article threads prior to either of your discovering the other and certainly before this latest silly debate.

    It seems all you're doing is trading one kind of obscurity for another. I am not sure what open source has to do with it.

    Consider he might be using a software RAID/RAID-like solution that does not tie up the entire physical disk and so the portions beyond 80GB on the bigger drives are available for use.

    Yes there are some significant issues with such a set-up but I don't know if the set-up merits a "retarded" label if it's what he had to work with. I guess that's why you posted AC?

    The funnier part about AC/DC is that in addition to being an electrical term, it was slang for being bisexual at the time, and the band had to keep denying they were a gay band (like queen!)
    Tell me about it!

    We had the same problem in high school when we started our band, "Man-on-Man Action" (it was obviously a reference to melee combat).

    That and buying a Jesus Jones album are my two great regrets from childhood..
    "Right Here Right Now" is the feature song in K-Mart's current advertising campaign (the same campaign in which Martha Stewart is the featured felon).

    The lesson here being, for recording artists, there is a fate worse than obscurity.
