  1. Re:Obligatory on Blame Your Mistakes on Technology · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I feel great about it. That is natural selection at its finest.

  2. Re:your sig [OT] on Lawsuit Invokes DMCA to Force DRM Adoption · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Note the number in the 16^1 spot is C in the second number thus making it 2 higher than the previous and thus ******C0 is the number in between. I'm writing this because I think you were saying that he was mistaken, if you are instead just pointing out that it isn`t normal to count in hex, well maybe you`re right.

  3. Re:How the hell... on Surprise Arrest For Online Scientology Critic · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The same law would apply to someone with a Nazi arm band protesting out side a synagogue with sign saying "Dirty Jews killed Jesus!". And I for one would be hard pressed to shed a tear if some was arrested for that.

    I would be upset though I wouldn't shed a tear. If the person was just standing there with a sign not hurting anyone, he should be able to.

  4. CADD? on Where to Go After a Lifetime in IT? · · Score: 1
    Why not consider a career in drafting? You would be able to make use of many of your computer skills and it would not be fix the computer all day kind of work but rather actually using it.

    My brother-in-law and I both finished with C.S. degrees in saskatchewan and he works for a construction company doing CAD and I'm a computer tech. I would take his job any day and not just cause he gets better pay and more hours but the work involves some creativity instead of "computer guy, can you look at this?".

  5. Re:A few years late, but.... on Warner Brothers Pulls Canadian Previews · · Score: 1

    To quote your president: "bring it on".

  6. Re:Question --- Am I Gay? on Are End Users to Blame for OS Flaws? · · Score: 2, Funny

    yes, yes it does.

  7. Re:just to be clear on Reiser Murder Case Gets Stranger · · Score: 1

    mod parent up, he's right!

  8. Re:bets? on Prosecutor Announces Charges Against Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    Ah, so there not fast enough to be convient for you. At least you buy the disks when they do come out, right..right?

    Nope, I don't. They snooze, they lose.

  9. Re:bets? on Prosecutor Announces Charges Against Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    ah yes, nitpicking for easy mod points. I've done it myself mind you, so I guess I can't complain.

  10. bets? on Prosecutor Announces Charges Against Pirate Bay · · Score: 1
    Anyone want to bet against the idea that the site will remain up despite these lawsuits?

    Personally I get all my TV shows (simpsons, family guy, south park, and american dad) from them because I can't buy them commercial free in a format I can play under freebsd from anywhere and I don't like waiting for the show to be released on DVD.

  11. Fuck you IBM on IBM to Lay Off Half of Global Services Division · · Score: 0

    Just what the tech sector needs, more layoffs and lower wages. 100,000 layoffs is (100,000/301,763,559) 0.0331% of the US population (according to: http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html). That sucks.

  12. Glad to see it on RIAA Backs Down Again in Chicago · · Score: 4, Informative

    I love seeing these cases where RIAA has been shown to be a bit skimpy on their evidence. Hopefully it will make more people fight back.

  13. Re:Sort of ... but not exactly. on Do We Really Need a Security Industry? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I'm sure it's a wonderful OS but Feisty Fawn is the gayest name ever.

  14. how shallow does it get? on Half of Mars May Have Ice · · Score: 2, Funny

    Could we push off a meter of dust and get to the ice to build a skating rink? The pioneers will need something to do for fun once the colonies begin.

  15. Re:Did I miss something? on Steve Jobs Personally Resolves Customer Complaint · · Score: 1

    I don't know what Apple pays Steve Jobs

    His salary is $1 US per year.

  16. Re:People demand it on Longevity Gene Found · · Score: 1

    I'd still take Highlander style immortality. The scenarios you point out could be easily avoided.

  17. anti-gun nut summary on eBay's Ill-Timed Lifetime Achievement Webby · · Score: 2

    Only an asshole blames the guns for killing people.

  18. Re:Monad on Windows PowerShell in Action · · Score: 1

    I saw the word monad and I thought Haskell, but alas no.

  19. Re:Downloads on OpenBSD 4.1 Released · · Score: 1

    If you are really into command line, then check out Gentoo. Right after installing you would get feeling that Gentoo devels are really using command line

    why leave bsd to go to wannabe bsd? Other than to gain the priveledge of an even more difficult install.

  20. Re:Downloads on OpenBSD 4.1 Released · · Score: 1

    No, but if you can't get online, you can't download the iso if it were available either.

  21. Re:RS-232? on An Open Source Hardware Development Tool · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yeah, the only problem is those never work ;)

  22. Re:Yes, a machine. on Lone Programmer Writes 352 Webcam Drivers For Linux · · Score: 1

    That's physician not physicist.

  23. bad facts on OS X Vs. Vista — In Spandex · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Count OS X, by comparison, is counting on his few enemies to see him through. His armour is forged from the fires of Linux , which he hopes will keep him safe from the common viruses that plague the land.

    Everyone knows OS X is derived from Mach and BSD and has nothing to do with Linux. But then anyone who would consider Vista equal to it probably spent more time dressing up and playing with swords than reviewing the products anyways.

  24. Re:Makes sense on Ohio University Blocks P2P File Sharing · · Score: 1

    and have every one of them claim that they've never file shared in their lives. Only to get the call the next day where they complain that their their myspace is too slow.

    uhh, I'm not an expert on myspace but I didn't know it was a p2p app.

    uh, how did you know that?
