    I do so also. Some of my passwords include the serial numbers of

    -My john deere tractor

    ..a password-keeper. Has a master entrance code, and a "self-destruct" sequence.

    Since it comes from thinkgeek, you'll be supporting OSDN, and besides, anything with a self destruct sequence is cool. Really, really cool.

    a step-by-step recipe on how to screw up the internet even worse. I thought common sense dictated that you don't release documentation of a vulnerability until there is a fix available for it.

    Aw, shit! We're screwed! Thanks for saving us, El! [/sarcasm] Ever heard of BugTraq?

    Aren't we overdue for a TCP replacement anyway?

    We're getting IPv6 so you can have your washer hooked to the internet! What more could you want??

    and one that allows windows that scale to gigabyte sizes

    Well, tell you what. You write out the schema for a new protocol (we'll call it XDP, because x's are cool) and then post it on sourceforge! Then the internet will work right! El, you saved the day two times in the same post!

    Wow! MOD PARENT UP! We need more people like El around here!

    Yeah, I played OMF:2097 (or whatever that ## was) all the time. I got pretty good with the Jaguar, and decent with Shadow.

  12. Re:Energy Costs? on Silent Pump for Water-Cooled PCs · · Score: 1

    And remember that the "experts" are saying that moores law is flattening out. I think manufacturers are going to have to make their machines lighter, more efficient, and quieter: because eventually the ghz roof will take effect..whatever that roof may be.

    My other thought is that product types seem to bend towards each other: palms are getting bigger (pocket PCs) and laptops are getting smaller(vaios). Desktops get smaller (mini-itx) laptops get bigger (dell-bricks). Desktops trying to be supercomputers.

    And of course, the best products are those that are right inbetween. Think of the CLIE: Camera, PDA and all the other good stuff that made people go *wow*.

    Thats just a couple of examples.

    Feel free to disagree with me, flame me, mod me up, down, or sideways. Or, if you liked this post, vote for me when I run for president in 2024, or this years calif. governor.

    On a second note, if she *really* likes quite, make sure you give her a keyboard that doesn't clack (dell makes a "quiet-board" or something like that) and maybe put felt pads in her mouse.

  14. Re:On behalf of all coffee-drinking programmers: on How About A Cup Of The Answer To Everything? · · Score: 1

    This is a common misperception held because dry coffee has less caffeine than dry tea.

    Of course.

    Most people would agree that It's the content of the brewed cup that matters.

    Yess...

    A cup of black tea will average about half of the caffeine ammount of your average cup of coffee

    So, Coffee(dry).caffiene tea(brewed).caffiene

    Which means the coffee is somehow reacting with the water because:
    1)It can't be getting it direct from the water (or the tea would get it too)

    2)It can't be getting released from the leaves because dry coffee has less caffeine than dry tea

    3)There must be a chemical reaction!

    Now I know what those ungodly noises are coming from my coffee machine: its not farting, its reacting!

    Right?

  24. Pure brains vs. Creative thinking on Will Humanoid Robots Take All the Jobs by 2050? · · Score: 1

    Well,it could be quite possible. What are computers good at? Pure logic. Which means they might "take over" more complex jobs such as programming. We already have autopilots, and CAD.

    A bot could probably do quite a bit of manual labor if properly programmed, and given a body. Which raises a question: What can they not do? What can humans do that bots can't?

    What happens if something goes wrong? Could a computer find a way around it? Perhaps not. WHich provides the answer to our question:

    Creative thinking.

    That odd ability our brains have of warping ideas into new ideas. That spark of ingeniuty. I wonder if I could get it to do.. It is this that will keep us above machines.
