  1. Re:About time. on Senate Hearing On Laptop Seizures At US Border · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is no constitutional protection when not in the United States and at border crossings you're nowhere. They can't force you (unless you suck with torture) but they can do worse and prevent you from entering.

  2. Re:FUD? on Multiple Security Holes In Ruby 1.8, 1.9 · · Score: 1

    Not so bad if you encrypt the cookie data.

  3. To read this comment on Spammers Hijacking IP Space · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm sorry but to read this comment you must accept the terms of service of my crappy comment. Please click your back button to accept terms of service.

  4. Well if anyone knows... on Microsoft Complains About Google's Monopoly Abuse · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If anyone knows about what a monopoly is it's Microsoft.

  5. Re:Does it still require Mongrel? on Ruby on Rails 2.0 is Done · · Score: 1

    Apache's only role in any Rails setup is mod_proxy_balancer to feed requests to a pack of mongrels.

    To others:
    As for not scaling? Load of bollocks: Share an application root on NFS, configure rails and mongrel to log to a machine specific directory and just keep popping app servers into your cluster as needed. Or make extensive use of built-in caching or custom caching with memcached. It won't scale itself. Don't be lazy, people.

  6. Too cool! on Eureka! Archimedes Revealed · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Will overlook the Christian Monk scrubbing scientific things away for religion to say this is really cool. I wonder how many other documents were similarly reused for $whatever. Wonder what it all says...

  7. The best puzzle is easy on Celebrating Puzzles · · Score: 4, Funny

    Figure out why hot dogs come in packages of 8 whereas hot dog buns come in packages of 6.

  8. Re:rapidly improving technologies? eh on Lessons from the Browser Wars · · Score: 1

    And even still it isn't all that improved. Does IE7 support XHTML yet? Did they get around to the :hover pseudoclass?

  9. Scary. on Military Investigates Sale of Sensitive Data · · Score: 3, Funny

    How long have we heard about companies selling old computers with customer data? Or people selling computers on ebay chock full of porn? The inability to learn from others' mistakes is a worry. Then again, the US military is in Asia

    Clearly whoever is in charge never saw the Princess Bride and learned from Vizzini's wisdom

    You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha

    Course...he died, soo...

  10. Re:Some quotes from TFA on Interview With Leader of Sweden's Pirate Party · · Score: 1

    FIVE YEARS??? They're insane. It can take five years for a band to work their way up from garage band to being noteworthy enough to get a recording contract. This would mean that all of their early works would be unprotected right as they became popular enough to actually make money off them.

    The law exists to protect private citizens and not business.

    Stay fresh or die.

  11. Non crappy video codec? on SpaceX Successful Static Fire · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Wish there was something other than a wmv!

  14. Err wait a second. on US Homeland Security to Support Open Source · · Score: 1, Funny

    Where's the conspiracy here? Is it a good thing that DHS is supporting open source? Boy, I can't wait til the talking heads get ahold of this.

  15. Re:I can get 0 defects per line of code: assert(1) on When Bugs Aren't Allowed · · Score: 1

    I'll see your compiler error and raise you a thousand pointless #defines!

  16. Re:Not unlimited funding on When Bugs Aren't Allowed · · Score: 1

    How many of you would be willing to place that kind of warranty on YOUR CODE?

    I did.

    Well, it wasn't so bad until the client decided to run the code (which worked locally) on some funky configuration and change spec after it's completed.

  17. Re:Audio Copy Protection on Analog Hole Legislation Formally Introduced · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The only real solution is to overthrow the capitalist giants whose sole purpose is to exploit "consumers" to make money.

    But at the moment I'll settle for no DRM.

  18. Time zone? on Mars Swings Unusually Close to Earth · · Score: 5, Insightful

  25. Re:At over 1600 pages?! on The New C Standard · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not counting the citations at the end, the book is 1,577 pages of "guidelines." Who's got that kind of time for a hobby? Who, having a job as a programmer, even has the time to read a book like that?

    1577 pages? Ever hear of Lord of the Rings?
