  1. Re:The hell? on Debian Release Mgr. Proposes Dropping Some Archs · · Score: 4, Funny

    On April 1st NetBSD would be the one saying they'll only support 4 architectures.

  2. Re: One place to look on The Continuing Hunt for PATRIOT Act Abuses · · Score: 1

    In 1943 They were a world superpower with the ability to disrupt trade worldwide, and had as many nukes as everyone else.

  3. Car computer? on Via Now Shipping Dual-Processor Mini-ITX Board · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Sounds like an excellent-performing midrange desktop replacement to me. Only trick would be marketing it to consumers & businesses who've been indoctrinated in the MHz cult. Two CPUs should give excellent responsiveness.

  4. Re:What about your own obituary? on OSDL Says SCO Suit Was Good for Linux · · Score: 1

    It worked for Alfred Nobel (twice).

  5. Re:Lexicate Me on Major Update For OED Science Fiction Project · · Score: 1

    Let's see... what does google say about "nemory"... Forums where people have mispelled memory (mostly referring to RAM) and google link farming sites for pharmaceuticals spammers. Looks like you just made it up.

  6. MOD PARENT UP (#11895250) on Major Update For OED Science Fiction Project · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    See subject.

  7. Re:hmm... on Forbes Lists Top Corporate Hate Web Sites · · Score: 5, Funny

    I didn't see electrolux sucks either.

  8. Re:Fines ? on Aus. Gov't Considers Fines for Online Suicide Info · · Score: 4, Insightful
    I believe that there is no situation in which suicide is a good option.

    Suicide is a permanent solution to suffering, but it also stops love, joy, etc.

    The time when suicide is a good option is when you are absolutely sure the suffering is permanent and no amount of love or joy can mitigate it. Depression is not one of those times; depression is temporary. A painful, debilitating, degenerative, permanent medical condition may cause suicide to be a good option. Only the person herself can make that decision.

  9. I count 3 times. on Harvard Business School: You Peek, You Lose · · Score: 1

    The third time was when they overreacted.

  10. Re:Deserved on Harvard Business School: You Peek, You Lose · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But you see, in business school you're supposed to know that anything within the rules or that you won't be caught doing is ethical, and that anything that's outside the rules and that you'll be caught for is unethical. Business ethics has nothing to do with any concept of Harm, Benefit, or intention.

  11. Re:Alternative to realistic, lifelike gaming on World's First Physics Processing Unit · · Score: 1

    And a whole lot harder, with no savegame or restore points.

  13. Sooo... on Double-Slit Experiment in Time, Not Space · · Score: 1

    We already knew that particles are also waves... What does this experiment show us that's new? Does it show that two particles are a wave, or something?

  14. Same here -- almost on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 1

    As a programmer/DBA/Sys-admin, I prefer Linux (We're a small company).

    As an amateur photographer, I prefer scanning & printing on Mac OS X; there are drivers for my slide scanner, and it's colour balanced. I prefer editing pictures on Linux; Cinepaint and PerlMagick make a powerful & flexible duo.

    Fortunately, I have little spreadsheet requirements that can't be handled by gnumeric, so I have no use for windows.

  15. Re:State of the American union. on The State of the Open Source Union, 2004 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The 22 uses of "Freedom" would have been more appropriate than in the US State of the Union address.

  16. No. on The State of the Open Source Union, 2004 · · Score: 1

    Given a particle of which you have perfect knowlege of it's position, you can have no knowlege of it's velocity. This uncertainty is inevitable.

  17. Re:Coverage = quality? on FUD-Based Encyclopedias · · Score: 1

    I only edit/expand pages I know something about (like my home town & it's marine festival). I doubt if everyone has that courtesy.

  19. Re:$1,000 for reading all the way through EULAs? on Man Finds $1,000 Prize in EULA · · Score: 1

    Actually I'd consider the contract scam thing worse. I was on so much morphine at the time there was no pain from the glass. Just a weird tugging feeling and some grinding when it rubbed against the bone.

  20. Re:There's Something About Mary on DRM for 1'3" of Silence · · Score: 1

    I've already got 0 minute abs, that must be way way better, right?

    All I had on waking up was a nurse pulling chunks of glass out of my other arm.

  22. Re:$1,000 for reading all the way through EULAs? on Man Finds $1,000 Prize in EULA · · Score: 1

    No geyser of blood, just my right hand was on the side of my arm (not the end where it belongs).

  23. Re:$1,000 for reading all the way through EULAs? on Man Finds $1,000 Prize in EULA · · Score: 1

    Actually in Canada, inability to not-consent or inability to communicate non-consent is considered consent for life-saving measures.

    I mean would you sign somthing you didn't understand?

    Interestingly, in 2002 the ER staff were shocked when I insisted on reading the consent for surgery form before signing it. Most people don't read things that are put in front of them that they're told is standard and must be signed.

    Not nearly every second line, and this should be ALL the browser detection required for an application using XMLHttpRequest.
