  1. I Know... on Next Generation Stack Computing · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I really should RTFA, but it isn't going to easy. Could you just read it for me?

  2. Re:Future objects on IAU Rules Pluto Still a Planet · · Score: 1

    So, if Pluto's a planet, then what the Hell is Goofy?

  3. Re:Dell support on Is the Dell/Microsoft Alliance Fracturing? · · Score: 1

    I too, work for Dell, though in a different capacity. No kidding, today I shipped about 50 flat-panel monitors to a school for the blind. I am NOT making this up. Anyway, notice how previous posters assumed that all kinds of M$ Office is always installed by default, even though Corel is usually offered as an alternative. Some of them, having missed the "full line" qualifier in the original post assume that no system is available OS-free. Sorry I broke the monitor.

  4. Please check your facts on Is the Dell/Microsoft Alliance Fracturing? · · Score: 1

    This is not what we want but it is exactly counter to your claim. http://www1.us.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.as px/e510_nseries?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=mn

    Does this mean I hove to run WinVICE inside WINE on my Linux box just to use TCPSER? God I hope not. Google found some tarballs for TCPSER here http://www.jbrain.com/pub/linux/serial/ has anyone tried using it with VICE compiled for Linux?

  8. It's not just f***ing culinologists! on Molecular Gastronomy, The Science of Cooking · · Score: 1
    "It's difficult to see a downside to any endeavor that has a scientific underpinning and can lead to safer and more wholesome food," she said. "Culinologists who work in restaurants and institutions will not only have the chef's eye for presentation but the scientific knowledge that can prevent contamination in food handling."
    The downside? Mass-produced and -marketed healthy, safe bad food. The taste of bad food ruins us for the good. That's one real problem with modern industrial food. It's not just that it's sometimes dangerous (which, of course, it is) but it ruins us for the taste of real food made with real ingredients. As for sanitaion, any competent professional cook, especially a formally trained chef, spends a great deal of time and thought preventing contamination in food handling. The claim that "culinology" is needed for that is an insult to my Culinary degree and training. They don't just teach us sauces and pretty-plating, but also an ingrained habit of working sanitarily. If Kraft wants its food scientists to know how to cook, great. If someone's offering a culinary degree with the option of more hard science, even better. That paragraph, however is both insulting and frightening.
  9. Man! they're looking for chef? on ZDNet UK Begs for Google's Forgiveness · · Score: 1

    It took a few recursive links to find the reference http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/08/05/12 2217&tid=153, but this is the closest thing I've seen to a job opening on /. for which I'm qualified since I started reading it. Cooks are geeks too--it's just that my food beats my code anyday.

  10. Re:It was mainly satiracle! on Five PC Innovations the Industry Should Get To · · Score: 1

    "I would of included at least 10 more things but I'm a lazy bastard and I wrote the thing at nearly 3 A.M. before passing out on my desk." Please don't say "would of." It's "would have."

  11. Re:Social engineering works better on Electronic Voting Machine Cracker Challenge · · Score: 1

    Silly h4x3rz! In GA we fix elections with Redistricting. The votes were tallied by the GA Assembly in the Gold Dome months ago when they carved up the state. How they count the resulting votes in the election is not really the point.
