  1. Good thing? on More on Global Dimming · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Isn't global dimming a good thing? Sunlight isn't exactly compatible with the nerd life...

  2. Re:Lets see if we can /. on H2G2 Film Website · · Score: 1

    Deep Throat was the guy you were referring to. Deep Thought was the computer that discovered that the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything was 42.

  3. Re:Unlicensed? on New Chips Enable 2.4 GHz Sensor Networks · · Score: 1

    Unlicensed spectrums do not require a license to transmit over. In other words, it's a good thing to use them.

  4. Re:Tricoders? on Astronauts Get Tricoders (Almost) · · Score: 1

    Just watch out for the LoL!1!-ers. They came from this obscure realm known as Quakenet, riding their floodbots.

  5. Re:Time for a Google Bomb on How To Get Googled, By Hook Or By Crook · · Score: 1

    Yes. I think we should link to SCO, so that Darl wins an iPod to miraculously find supposed SCO IP in.

  6. Re:Is it legal to... on Google Files for IPO · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's also going to be several months before the IPO actually goes out.

  8. Speed is nice... on New Internet Speed Record · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... but you have to have equipment capable of handling it. I know that there's certainly not anything existing that could make full use of a pipe that big... so I think everyone should keep their porn fantasies in check.

  9. Re:ISO on Mandrakelinux 10 Official Released · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Join the club. I hope you realize the irony in that statement.

  10. Re:Say what? on U.S. Justice Department Prepares Assault on Pr0n · · Score: 2

    Next thing we know, India will be outsourcing the supposedly sacred cows to the US.

  11. Re:eek on China Blocks Typepad, Prompts Weblog Blackout · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think this is more like the government blockading the door to your bathroom... of course, there's nothing stopping you from relieving yourself on the front lawn. ;)

  12. Re:I 3 Perl on Exegesis 7 Released (Perl 6 Text Formatting) · · Score: 2, Funny

    You obviously don't come here often...

  13. Re:BitKeeper? on Behind the Scenes in Kernel Development · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I read the word "implementing" here as asking you when you plan on utilizing a source management system, not when you plan on coding one.

  14. Re:IMHO, but I must admit IAAL on Web Ad Trademark Law To Be Retested · · Score: 1

    Yes, they do have to filter - try searching for Kazaa Lite on Google.

  15. Re:Ximian next. on Microsoft to Charge for FAT File System · · Score: 1

    Please also provide any support for Windows and Office losing market share (and to who?) Linux and OpenOffice. When everyone uses your software, the only direction your market share can go is down...

  16. Re:I'm not sure if we'll see it in knoppix on Using the Real ntfs.sys Driver Under Linux · · Score: 1

    Of course, 99% of users with an NTFS partition own a copy of Windows with ntfs.sys...

  17. Time-honored facts... on North Korea Introduces 'Secure' E-mail · · Score: 5, Funny

    Again, they're just proving that the best security method is just to not let anyone on the system at all.

  18. Re:No Master/Slave? on L.A. County Bans Use Of "Master/Slave" Term · · Score: 1

    But that uses the forbidden "slave" and "master"! Shame.

  19. OGG on Rio Karma 20GB Reviewed · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's nice to see that some mainstream players are finally starting to add OGG support to their products. It's about time for a change.

  20. Re:WTF on 64-bit Laptops Reviewed · · Score: 2, Informative

    That is very untrue. That (larger address space) is only one limitation of the 32-bit processors that you can ignore when using a 64-bit processor. The ability to natively do calculations with numbers larger than 4294967295 is a good plus for many types of applications. The lack of memory is certainly not a reason why the 64-bit processor would not be "worthwhile."

  21. Re:I've got a great idea! on AT&T Sues PayPal and eBay for Patent Infringement · · Score: 1

    I think Adam and Eve have prior art on that one.

  22. $699 on NASA Installs Linux Supercomputer · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'm assuming they paid the $699 SCO licensing fee?

  23. Re:I think a Debian user would be asking you... on First Look at Debian's Next Generation Installer · · Score: 1

    Agreed... I was just pointing out that XP does use the text-mode setup for the first stage. Can't say I've ever installed Linux from a text-mode installer before - only distro I've ever installed is Mandrake... although I've been considering switching to Debian lately.

  24. Re:Graphical? on First Look at Debian's Next Generation Installer · · Score: 1

    XP's first-stage install (up until the first reboot) is all text-mode. After the reboot, you get a 16-color version of the graphical setup screen (assumedly due to drivers that aren't installed yet)... then after another reboot, it's full color.

  25. Re:SERIOUS QUESTION: Roland Piquepaille on Send Emails After Your Death · · Score: 1

    Possibly the accepted stories list on the user page has a time limit set on it... so that you only see those in the last week? month?
