  1. Re:Strange.... on Top 10 Personal Computers · · Score: 0

    I liked the TRS-80, but my budget said Vic-20. Later I got a TRS-80 Pocket Computer. Then several Apple II+ clones. After several years a Zenith SuperSport laptop. Then came the PC parade, XT, AT, 386, 486, PI, PII, PIII ...*sigh

    I'd like to see humans that speak using this language write code. It would probably look like music with notes, bars, etc.

  5. Re:Pretty Cool Service? I don't think so... on Send Emails After Your Death · · Score: 0

    Oh come on, send a funny message like "help I am stuck in here let me out" or that favorite "I have with me $50,000 in cash buried in here with me" and then just have a note pinned on your corpse that says "Phyche!"

    Decameron81, I understand what your saying but I believe that the spirit of what Russ suggested was suggesting was not to fine for cutting edge holes but to fine if known holes are not patched right away. So we're not just talking about a nice house that has been maintained but something built and lacking patches. Perhaps even something abandoned. In my neighbourhood if your house (read:server) can not be protected and you are an absentee landlord then when someone makes a complaint the following happens. Neighbours lodge complaint. Sheriff surveys the house and determines status. Sheriff locates owner and force them to clean up. Sheriff revisits and revisits house status. If no action taken Sheriff has it boarded up. An invoice for work added to tax bill. Sheriff revisits and revisits house status. If no action taken Court will step in. If house determined to be a risk then bulldoze. Problem solved. If your house is made up of lots and lots of Windows, I suggest third party bricks.

  13. Re:Fines for companies - it's a good thing. on Russ Cooper's Internet Penalties Plan · · Score: 1

    I like Russ's idea, it has nothing to do with suing the people who let thieves in their house. Russ's idea is more like suing people who let their house turn into a crack house.
