  1. Re:Probably still waiting for their security softw on Akamai To Offer IPv6 To All In April · · Score: 1

    Routing tables and layer 2 still exist. It's just a differently sized header, and protocol version.

  2. Re:The good old days... on Science Reveals Why Airplane Food Tastes So Bad · · Score: 1

    A reheated curry? *ick*.

  3. Re:Losing liberty because of tolerance on French President Proposes Jail For Terrorist Website Visitors · · Score: 1

    So, the white man should be restricted to Europe? Or parts of it?

    Including repatriations for all the damage done to the colonies.

  4. Re:Computers have no sense of humor... on Clever Clues Clobber Crossword Computer · · Score: 1

    Non ex transverso, sed deorsum.

  5. Re:A buck an hour ... on The Worst Job In the Digital World · · Score: 1

    Developing countries: Capital is expensive. Labous is cheap.
    Developed countries: Labur is expensive. Capital is cheap.

    The best way to trade would be to swap labour and capital, however immiration controls make it hard to move labour around.

  6. Re:A mistake on Firefox Javascript Engine Becomes Single Threaded · · Score: 1

    Given that web workers essentially are a fork(), you can just use standard Unix style IPC with message passing instead of the complexity of shared memory.

  7. Re:He's probably right. on Michael Dell Dismisses Tablet Threat To the PC Market · · Score: 1

    Mostly cheap Android phones though. Phones in the netbook pricing range.

  8. Re:not true. on Israeli Spyware Sold To Iran · · Score: 1

    s/France/UK/ and s/England/Ireland/.

    I believe that the two substitutions make it a bit more realistic.

  9. Re:Good, hair shirts won't save us on Canada First Nation To Pull Out of Kyoto Accord · · Score: 1

    Except that you refuse to transfer newer, cleaner nuclear technology and materials for a sane cost.

    At which point, economics argues for burning coal.

  10. Re:Names and Lies on Philippines Call Centers Overtake India · · Score: 1

    More like 3% of the Indian population. Also, Bangalore has a lot of Christians, and names taken from the Bible are common.

  11. Re:Names and Lies on Philippines Call Centers Overtake India · · Score: 1

    Unless you go to the mostly Christian state of Kerala, or the North Eastern states.

  12. Re:Are you dreaming? on The Myth of Renewable Energy · · Score: 1

    Hydro? Your base load choices are hydro, geothermal, coal/natural gas and nuclear.

    Danegeld.

  14. Re:SSDs vs. Spinning Platters on Hard Drive Prices Up 150% In Less Than Two Months · · Score: 1

    The time to access data on spinning rust is horribly high. It's not the storage capacity, it's the access time.

  15. Re:Mass transit is an energy hog on Rethinking Rail Travel: Boarding a Moving Train · · Score: 1

    Then you need better cities. Funnily enough, the best quality of life I've had has been in densely populated cities, with suburbs sucking horribly.

  16. Re:To be fair on Lego Bible Too Racy For Sam's Club · · Score: 1

    Neither logic, nor information come from matter.

    As for consciousness, that's something we don't have the answers to yet.

    Still don't need Christianity, or a god.

  17. Re:Mass transit is an energy hog on Rethinking Rail Travel: Boarding a Moving Train · · Score: 1

    Perhaps a good alternative is denser cities, with more spread-out work hours?

    With sufficient density and size, your mass transit solution is fairly busy all the time, and with spread out work hours, the peak hour rush can be curtailed to a very large extent.

  18. Re:Icons are a waste of time on The Sketchbook of Susan Kare · · Score: 1

    Actually, I wouldn't know about a big red octagon as a signal to stop.

    My familiar stop signal is a human figure standing straight. Or a red circle, sometimes.

  19. Re:Are you dreaming? on The Myth of Renewable Energy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    As opposed to all those coal mines you don't see?

  20. Re:To be fair on Lego Bible Too Racy For Sam's Club · · Score: 1

    In what way does the atheistic worldview fail?

    Keep in mind that "I don't know", "I don't know yet" and "It is impossible to know, but this is the most probable" are all valid answers.

  21. Re:This guy ever been beaten up before? on The Future of Protest In Panopticon Nation · · Score: 1

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Indian_Navy_mutiny did more to secure Indian independence than anything Gandhi did.

  22. Re:No, they haven't on Has Apple Made Programmers Cool? · · Score: 1

    You want short, to the point meetings. No chitchat. Those work *very* well for introverts.

  23. Re:No, they haven't on Has Apple Made Programmers Cool? · · Score: 2

    Introverts are social, just not in person. People in small doses are good.

  24. Re:No, they haven't on Has Apple Made Programmers Cool? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Quiet introverts are only a communication drain for extroverts. Extroverts are a communication energy drain for inroverts.

    So move everything to Mexico. No parts shipping back and forth, just fly the final product out.
