  1. Wishlist on "Dilbert" Creator Gets Voice Back · · Score: 1

    I wish Rush Limbaugh would lose his voice.

  2. Plausible Deniability on Why Don't Companies Release Specs? · · Score: 1
    From my experience, there are a number of reasons, including:
    • The specs only exist in the source code.
    • The specs are long out of date with respect to the source code.
    • The specs we do have aren't pretty to look at.
    • Specs? You mean, like, documentation?
    • If we released specs, you'd expect us to adhere to it.
    • My dog ate it.
  3. Re:It seems to me on Fedora Core Doesn't Like to Dual Boot? · · Score: 1

    I'd have to caution against using Partition Magic.

    I have to repeatedly decline PM's offer to "repair" the CHS/LBA inconsistencies on my Linux partitions. Its idea of a "fix" is to reduce my dual-boot system to a Windows-only box.

    I'll go so far as to say that buying PartitionMagic was a poor software investment in terms of lost productivity. My reward for reporting the aforementioned bug: periodic upgrade offers to the latest and greatest version. Yet, I can't even get an acknowledgement that the bug exists or has been fixed in a newer release. It's bad enough that the product fails, but support is totally non-existent.

  4. Re:Cheap overseas textbooks are harmful to them on For Americans, Imported Textbooks Can Be Cheaper · · Score: 1

    Actually, the cheap pricing of books in India (and other countries) is more about curbing book piracy in the illegal publishing industry, i.e., the unauthorized duplication and sale of copied American textbooks.

  5. Some Landscaping Required on Toshiba Pushes Safe, Small Nuclear Reactor Design · · Score: 1

    Excellent, I have just the place to plant one of these generators: right in my front yard, where a towering pine tree currently stands.

  6. Re:USB Keycards? on Build Your Own Electronic Key Card Lock · · Score: 1

    Moreover, there are several models that sport fingerprint sensors for biometric security. Vendors include USBKey (BIO KEY), Trek (ThumbDrive TOUCH), and ClipDrive (BIO, BIO Plus).

  7. Re:largest group on Borland Releases New C++ Toolkit · · Score: 1

    And what do they mean by largest? It's not our fault that we have sedentary jobs and that our idea of exercise includes running unit tests.
