    it will mean that if your father can't have children then neither can you :-)

  2. Re:Unusual characters in filenames on Linux/Mac/Windows File Name Friction · · Score: 1

    It won't work. The shell takes the quotes away before rm sees them. If you escape the quotes with backslashes then rm sees them but thinks they're part of the filename.

  3. Re:Too bad no one using it can comment on Anonym.OS a Boon for Privacy Geeks? · · Score: 1

    If only it were so sophisticated. I haven't been able to post from my home IP for ages simply because of postings by other people on my subnet.

    > ... ounce of gold ...
    They use the metric system in Germany. I expect a more literal translation would read 28.3 grams of gold.
    Or maybe gold-royale. :-)

  8. Re:Why don't the editors link to mirrordot? on Seeing Around Corners With Dual Photography · · Score: 1

    Because then there'd be no +5 Informative mod points for people who post the mirrordot links :-)

  10. for a moment I thought it said on Spam Kings · · Score: 1

    > ... resource on spam, phisting, and other internet ...
    Luckily it doesn't say that but I wonder what that term will eventually get used for.

  11. Re:Errata on Spam Kings · · Score: 1

    that's only one error. Better add..
    Erratum: For errata read erratum.

    Now that there's more than one, better change it to:
    Errata: For erratum read errata.

  12. Re:More power to them on Knoppix Used in Internet Banking Solution · · Score: 1

    > consumers are willing to reboot their computer to use it..
