  1. Re:The point of convergence... on Fingerprints Replace Credit Cards in Seattle · · Score: 1

    You are soooo way off. There will only be ONE corporation. Other companies and the government will only be business units.

  2. Re:My wife just started teaching... on Student Logs Teachers Keystrokes · · Score: 1

    You had a girlfriend in a box?

  3. Re:Congrats, Einstein on Bill Gates Handwriting Analyzed · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can't decide whether to say "Get bent" or suggest this as a plot for Futurama...

  4. Of course on Asteroid Named After Douglas Adams · · Score: 5, Funny

    Of course the asteroid was named after Douglas Adams. He was named years ago, shortly after his birth, I guess.

  5. Re:I have always been curious on Decrypting Kryptos · · Score: 1

    Are you sure they're unintentional typos?

  6. They're just on On The Durability Of Usability Guidelines · · Score: 2, Funny

    Usability guides are too hard to read.

  7. Re:Ok, its fixed on Torvalds on the Linux Security Process · · Score: 1

    In an open system, more black hats will know about the problem BEFORE there is a fix. That increases the possibility of an exploit.

  8. Ok, its fixed on Torvalds on the Linux Security Process · · Score: 1

    I'm still debating whether its good or not. Well, the theory is good, and what's bad will be systems where changes can't be made immediately. For eg, a corporation says that security patches MUST be analyzed/tested in-house BEFORE applied to production or "public" systems. Also, I'm sure there will be systems whether the admin can't get to them right away. This, obviously, is a problem. Is it worse than having a closed system and delayed notification?

  9. Big Blue Marble on BBC on Global Dimming · · Score: 1

  12. Nits to pick on US Ranking for Broadband Falls · · Score: 1

    Nunavit (as mentioned in the FA) is a territory, not a province. S'like calling Puerto Rico a state. What else did author get wrong?

  13. Re:Windows disaster recovery? on Grokking Knoppix · · Score: 1

    It talks about how to get files off the dead system. That's part of the recovery process.

    Glad to see it talks about the current 3.3 version of Knoppix

  15. Who will track the trackers? on Bosses Keep Sharp Eye on Mobile Workers · · Score: 1

    Huh? Who? How are the bosses going to make sure that the people tracking the other people are actually tracking them? Work is still slavery. You do what we say or you die. S'ok if bosses missappropriate money and cheat the government and take your job and give it to someone else, nothing personal, mind you, just following business practices, but you better not take an extra few minutes at lunch.

  16. Re:This should be SUBSTANTIALLY more interesting.. on Ken Jennings Gets a New Challenge · · Score: 2, Funny

    Still, that's only who created the Constitution. Its been awhile since I've read the relevant docs, but its only in terms of who can run/hold office do they mention citizenship.
