    $500 million.

  2. Ozone generator on Cleansing Hardware Of Dead Pig Odors? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Or maybe a little bowl of baking soda in each case. :-) The ozone's probably better though.

  3. Re:Versus DX successor on OpenGL 2.0 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'd generally agree with
    your argument would be better served by not listing games that are all from the same company

    but not so much with
    (or at least, using engines from the same company). There's a ton of games using those engines.

  4. Re:Gene Spafford on Unsung Heroes of Open Source Software? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    He's got some of my favourite quotations of all time, too.

    Gene Spafford, another computer security expert, likened hacker break-ins to "being pecked to death by ducks."

  5. Re:Ohhhh on Internet Babylon · · Score: 3, Funny

    Tubgirl's the pic I generally use when people link straight to my images without any credit or pagelink. Dunno if they get the hint or not, but I'm building up quite a collection of funny screengrabs.

  6. Re:How data is used? on Secret Service Seeks Indymedia Logs · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What a stupid fucking thing to say. They aren't welcome in New York City, believe me. I don't know where you read violent intent in that, unless you're a typical ignorant outsider. New Yorkers are justifiably proud of our racial mix, and this party, which got 8% of the black vote in 2000 (although that seems high), is coming in to pretend to be something more moderate than what it is? Please. We're not that naïve.

  7. Re:Ok, so no what? on Internet Meltdown Predicted for Tomorrow · · Score: 3, Funny

    They made a THIRD one?! Jesus, no wonder they hate us.

  8. Re:Some on purpose to promote free WiFi. on 80% of WiFi Networks are still Insecure, Kismet Author Says · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So close your network. Not everyone wants to be like you.

    Buick had to rename the LaCrosse in Quebec for the same reason.

  10. Re:I tried to log in as root.. on Dealing with Intruders? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Most of these people weren't alive before ssh.

  11. Re:This is more fun! on Dealing with Intruders? · · Score: 1

    Hmm. I don't know that I'd want to block everything on that list. vti_bin in your logs can have other meanings than just worm attacks.

    Fire up nextag and mix & match.

  13. Re:I stab at thee on Creative Pressures id Software With Patents · · Score: 1

    What do you mean by "dominate?" Fastest retail card? Or percentage of the market? Intel's killing everybody in the latter.

  14. Re:I stab at thee on Creative Pressures id Software With Patents · · Score: 1

    I'd imagine that Intel has a much bigger share of the graphics market than you think. Gamers are vastly outnumbered by office workers.

  15. Re:What locations? on Latest MyDoom Variant Gives Google Problems · · Score: 2, Informative

    I can search from home (SSH), but not from work (~15 miles away), in NY.

    Your ideas are intriguing and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

    ...that you watch MTV a lot? There's exactly one band in that list that doesn't have a gold record.

  19. Re:Poetic... on IT's Musical Habits · · Score: 1

    MS should license that and make it the default Windows shutdown sound.

  20. I'm ready... on Doom 3 System Requirements Revealed · · Score: 1

    Except for video. Think my G400'll run it? :-P Ah well. X800, here I come!

    He's not just a member, he's the president.

  22. Re:Plenty of open alternatives on Where Do Dummy Email Addresses Go? · · Score: 1

    There's also me@privacy.net which bounces email with a polite notice that you don't want email from the sender.

    Oh sweet. I was just looking for that today, after encountering it a couple of months ago and promptly forgetting what the address was. Perfect timing!

  23. Re:If they don't stop making shit movies they won' on Besieged Movie Industry Suffers Record Takings · · Score: 1

    I don't know if "racing" is the word I'd use there.

  24. Re:Motorcycle use on How to: Use a GPS watch, XML and Satellite photos · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Kismet comes with a program called gpsmap, which can plot your route. There are various sources you can pull from, Mapquest-style included. GpsDrive is handy too.

    There's a lot to the world outside your bedroom, go explore it.

    Yeah, it's called the "server room" (a.k.a. "basement").
