  1. Re:A small tax cut to anyone who closes their rela on FTC vs. Open Relays, round 2 · · Score: 1

    What? It would be far more effective if their taxes were doubled...

  2. What? Are you nuts? on Switching from Another Industry to Engineering/CS? · · Score: 1

    Do all that studying just to be out of work?

  3. Re:The challenge of financing on Unemployed? Why Not Start a Software Company? · · Score: 1

    Anybody who says 'don't incorporate' did not read either the law or the tax code. Your total tax bill is far less when running a company and earning dividends, than with a sole proprietorship.

  4. Re:Wine on Today's Windows Virus - MyDoom / Novarg · · Score: 1

    Now that is cool, but you remember to send it to all your friends?

  5. Re:Procmail to the rescue on Today's Windows Virus - MyDoom / Novarg · · Score: 1

    Bah, this virus doesn't work. I clicked on it and opened it with ark and vi - diddly squat happened.

  6. Re:heh... /. was right! on Mars Rover Spirit Back Online · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Company song? "You load 16 tons, what do you get? A little bit older and deeper in debt..."?

  7. Re:Silly CVS Uses on Pragmatic Version Control Using CVS · · Score: 1

    Some places use it for project document revision control too, HW, FPGAs whatever changes a lot - not just program files.

  8. Re:Well, Frankly on Alan Ralsky Gripes About Can Spam Act · · Score: 1

    Those sites are not worth seeing I think...

  9. A different God? on Earth Travel On Time, Again · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, I suppose Jupiter sacked Atlas for his continual tardiness and the new God is still all gung ho about the promotion to the new job. Eventually he'll get tired too...

  10. Common in Gov contracts on Source Code Escrow · · Score: 1

    I have seen this requirement in many RFQs

  11. Re:ME? on Retired Microsoft Operating Systems Still Popular · · Score: 1
    WinME works great with win4lin.

    Also, if it is used in an office, trimming it with pclite, causes it to work just fine.

    In an office, the applications are far more important than the OS. The OS doesn't matter at all.

  12. Re:Original CD prices going up! on Retired Microsoft Operating Systems Still Popular · · Score: 1
    Probably due to Win4Lin and PClite creating new markets for the old versions...

    WinME on win4lin is great, it runs any windoze programs booooootifully.

    Also, once a Win98 or WinME install has been trimmed with PClite, it also works very well.

  13. Quantum leap - probably yes... on Retired Microsoft Operating Systems Still Popular · · Score: 1

    Yeah, you got that right. A quantum leap is extremely tiny. It is just about the tiniest thing known to man. So if it is a quantum leap improvement - sure... ;-)

  14. Re:Silly Cohen on 20 Years of Virii · · Score: 1

    No, no, no - Microsoft sure must have the patent on viruses. It was real MS innovation to take a simple concept and commercialize it into a multi billion dollar a year industry...

  15. Re:not to nitpick on 20 Years of Virii · · Score: 1
    Hmm, if you go to Itally, Greece or the Middle East, you can't help but notice that the Romans clearly knew that illness was transported by water - that it was caused by something too small to see and that water from high up in a mountain is clean - hence all the complex aquaducts and sewer systems...

    Despite the lack of microscopes, the ancients sure were not stupid and knew more about the cause of illness than modern people would like to give them credit.

  16. Re:"virus" in Latin on 20 Years of Virii · · Score: 1

    Yah well, somebody from Romania may be able to clear this up, since modern Romanian is still almost exactly Latin.

  17. Thank gawd for cdbaby on MP3.com's Content to Be Destroyed · · Score: 1

    Get your indy music here www.cdbaby.com

  18. Bit Pollution on MP3.com's Content to Be Destroyed · · Score: 1

    Yuck, I certainly hope they incinerate all those bits - sure don't want them to get into the drinking water.

  19. Re:Hmmm... DeCSS nonsense on DMCA Doesn't Protect Garage Door Remotes · · Score: 1

    Huh??? You *don't* need DeCSS to copy a DVD. dd will do it. The copy program need not know what it is copying. You only need DeCSS to play a DVD, which is perfectly legit.

  20. Re:What a pathetic man on Sweet Revenge On Nigerian Scammers · · Score: 1

    two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do. So, just twist the perp's neck -270 degrees...

  21. Re:Bad idea on Ditching your Landline Just Got Easier · · Score: 1

    So? All they have to do is stop calling people and find something better to do - get a real job where they are not pissing people off all the time...

  22. No effect on 'counterfeiters' on Sony Music Testing New Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    So, how is this going to stop the East Asian factories that 'accidentally' produce a few million extra discs of a popular title and sell them on the black market?

  23. Re:Bad idea on Ditching your Landline Just Got Easier · · Score: 1

    So, your point being? We all need to suffer without portability because the telemarketeers are incompetent?

  24. Re:Just saw on Ditching your Landline Just Got Easier · · Score: 1

    Uhh, ever heard of call forwarding?

  25. Re:There will always be stupid users... on New Wireless Security Standard Has Old Problem? · · Score: 1

    Well depends on your inclination. How about C00lDEADBABE...
