  1. Re:BT Devs Sleep With Illegal Content Providers on Bittorrent To Cause Internet Meltdown · · Score: 1

    I'm curious what your opinion is on the "moral correctness" of companies who manufacturer hard disks, since "it's highly likely" that some illegally obtained data will be stored on said disks?
    How about the "moral correctness" of data encryption?

  2. Re:"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! on The Best Fictional Doomsday Devices · · Score: 1

    "Gee, I wish we had one of them doomsday machines."

  3. Re:Less Service for the Same Money on Comcast Discontinues Customers' USENET Service · · Score: 2, Funny

    No. That's Comcastic!

  4. Re:Yeah, the bikes move like real bikes on Bootleg Tron 2 Trailer Is Out In the Wild · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I believe the target demographic for this film would be those of us who saw the original as children, and now have geek offspring of our own to take to the theaters.

    Obligatory Simpson's quote, "Has anybody seen the movie Tron?".

  5. Re:Blue on What Font Color Is Best For Eyes? · · Score: 1

    I always set my terminal colors to light blue on dark blue for the same reason.

  6. As a weather geek as well as a GNU/Linux geek... on Debian Cluster Replaces Supercomputer For Weather Forecasting · · Score: 1

    This makes me very happy.

  7. Re:speed on 'Mind Doping' Becoming More Common · · Score: 1

    As an occasional methamphetamine user (Not to party, but to help focus while writing code.), Thank you for some real facts, as opposed to the DEA's "facts".

  8. Re:This is not new, it's retro. on 'Mind Doping' Becoming More Common · · Score: 1

    I recall reading an article in Rolling Stone on "Smart Drugs" in High School... 1990 maybe?

  9. Oblibgitory Simpsons Reference on NASA Making Plans To Save the Earth · · Score: 1

    Nasa Making Plans To Serve The Earth!

  10. Indiana Doing Something Progressive? on 22,000 Indiana Students Using Linux Desktops · · Score: 2, Informative

    In a small Indiana public school, our Middle School "Computer Lab" consisted of 6 Commodore PETs, While I used an Amiga at home. In High School we didn't even have a Lab... typing classes actualy used typewriters!

    Anyway I'm glad to see this so maybe my child will get to use a real computer with a real OS other than at gome.

  11. NAV Is The Suck on Symantec Labels Vicars' Software as Spyware · · Score: 1

    Although I can obtain Symantec's products gratis from Indiana University, I haven't used it in about 4 years. I have yet to see any malware that NAV will successfully remove.

    My Windows machines (as well as any that I'm asked to repair) all run ClamWin http://www.clamwin.com/. It's every bit as good, and GPL'd too!

  12. Nothing New To Me on Tech Replaces Diamonds As Girl's Best Friend · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My wife is a cellular tech, and she's just as comfotable with technology as I am, if not more so. She uses our iPod more than I do, carries a Motorola SLVR, and can't wait to get a MacBook.
