  1. Re:Religious people on Indiana Tries to Pass Game Law Again · · Score: 1

    Well, that is to be expected - they get reborn all the time...

  2. Re:RIAA's problem is not file-sharing on RIAA Bullies Witnesses Into Perjury · · Score: 1

    Well, actually, professional quality recording equipment has been available at low cost for decades. Boston made their own recordings 30 years ago. Paul McCartney has been doing it even before them - though he invested a lot more money in his equipment and Les Paul even earlier.

    The really amazing thing is that, that lawyer was a sperm that won...

    Congrats! You just re-invented RAID5.

  7. Re:MySQL? on National Archives' Digital Woes · · Score: 1

    Of course, but that would not warrant a multi billion dollar budget...

  8. Re:Format obsolesence on National Archives' Digital Woes · · Score: 1

    Yes, but that would be logical and far too simple... You need to understand the archivists golden rule: Never erase, delete, modify or shred anything.

  9. SpamAssassin on National Archives' Digital Woes · · Score: 1

    Well, if they would just run their mail through SpamAssassin it should make the problem far more manageable...

  10. Re:Tips for someone starting out? on Hot Tech Skills For 2006? · · Score: 1

    Three weeks!? You'd be lucky to get an interview after 3 months and a maybe a job offer after 6 months to a year. You should go out and apply for something simpler: Security guard, grocery store clerk etc., to keep you going in the mean time.

  11. molehill on NSA Caught With The Cookies · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, I think the press is making a molehill out of a cookie. It is cucumber time - nothing happens during the Christmas holidays, the reporters need something to report and cucumbers are about as inspiring as, well, web cookies...

    Well, yeah, every school atlas shows Alaska as a funny shaped island continent next to Hawai, so it must be quite tropical...

  15. Re:what a stupid poll on Women Now Outnumber Men Online · · Score: 3, Funny

    Nevermind the net - the whole world stops a short distance beyond the USA borders and if you would try to go beyond, you'll fall off the edge. Here, there be dragons...

    They have to crank up the volume in the movies, to drown out the noise from the fancy cell phone ring tones...

  18. Essential part of Windows experience on Exploit Released for Unpatched Windows Flaw · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Linux just isn't ready for the desktop yet, since these programs are obviously an essential part of the Windows experience and they just won't run on Linux.

  19. Re:pr0n sites are FAST! on Exploit Released for Unpatched Windows Flaw · · Score: 1

    Nah, doesn't work in CxOffice. SpyAxe won't work in CxOffice either. I even downloaded the program and ran the installer and it just sat there. We should complain to http://www.spyaxe.com/ since they are discriminating against Linux users.

  20. Re:Why does /. report so much on Windows flaws? on Exploit Released for Unpatched Windows Flaw · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well actually, there are many times more Linux machines in the world than Windows machines. Windows only dominates the desktops. Linux dominates servers, routers, cell phones and so on. Last I saw, IBM Marketing estimated that there are more than 2 billion Linux systems in the world (mostly cell phones).

  21. Re:Why does /. report so much on Windows flaws? on Exploit Released for Unpatched Windows Flaw · · Score: 1

    Because it is us Linux advocates who get called in to fix all the Windoze machines. Fixing MS Crapware is actually a major part of my revenue...

  25. Re:Well... on Is the Dell/Microsoft Alliance Fracturing? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, you can order anything from Dell if you need a large number of machines, with large starting somewhere around five and preferably running into the hundreds or thousands over a few years. All you need to do, is talk to them and if your needs are totally custom, send them a pre-installed disk drive. Dell is far more accommodating than any other PC manufacturer.
