  1. Re:Excel is separated from other systems on Stop Using Excel, Finance Chiefs Tell Staffs (wsj.com) · · Score: 2

    This is neither an IT Problem or a spreadsheet problem. I would think this falls more in line as a problem with poor Process Management and pure laziness to begin with, then Management's poor choices in their selection of (or lack there of) an ERP system.

  2. What if the statement is correct, just incomplete? on Yahoo Offers Non-Denial Denial of Bombshell Spy Report (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    This is just conjecture... but what if they left out a sentence intentionally?

    "The article is misleading. We narrowly interpret every government request for user data to minimize disclosure. The mail scanning described in the article does not exist on our systems."

    meant:

    "The article is misleading. We narrowly interpret every government request for user data to minimize disclosure. The mail scanning described in the article does not exist on our systems. *COUGH* *COUGH* It DOES however run on systems provided by the NSA."

  6. Re:duh on SCADA Hacker: Water District Used 3-Character Password · · Score: 1

    pffffffft... Nah, I'm betting a nerdy guy who can't bring himself to swear set the password. A woman would most likely chosen H2O. My money is on poo (or some l337 derivative therein).

  8. Re:Well, I have one.... on Oxford City Council Mandates CCTV Cameras In Taxies by 2015 · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the city council can partner with HBO to provide content for "Taxi Cab Confessions". HBO could provide the CCTV monitors in exchange for access to the raw footage.

  9. Re:Hmmm... on Man Becomes Artist When He Sleeps · · Score: 2

    Hey now... let's not draw any hasty conclusions yet.

  11. Re:first use on 3-D Printer Creates Buildings From Dust and Glue · · Score: 2, Funny

    Okay, how long before the High-Capacity Building Cartridges are available? And will they only come 1/10th full? Perhaps the InkJet Manufacturer's have a new customer base to fleece... One slightly filled cartridge per color = PROFIT!

  12. Re:Like my PC on 8% of Your DNA Comes From a Virus · · Score: 1

    Sony installed a rootkit in both your DNA and PC years ago, they are just finding the one in the DNA now because the pattern file has *finally* been updated.

  14. Re:Nonsense. on EFF Warns TI Not To Harass Calculator Hobbyists · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ummm... My opinion is that the hobbyists are just trying to fix some bugs in calculators that the *IAA has been running into. Like for example, when they calculate damages. I think the results look similar to this: 3055 songs pirated * 0.99 per song = $309,234,408,345,345,384.94 in damages...

  15. Re:7.777777777 miles per day on 3-Man Team Begins Ice-Survey Trek To the North Pole · · Score: 1

    Okay, Let's put this into perspective. They are British? So, let's assume that they are also lugging a few hundred liters of Gin, and don't forget the Earl Grey. How straight and fast can you walk now? huh? Don't forget to add six or so hours for drinking in there.

  16. Get the right size? on Folding Nanosheets To Build Components · · Score: 1

    Do they only come in Twin, Super Single and Full? Or do they have Queen and King too? I hope they are fitted... I hate it when they pop off!

    WAIT!... Let's call Eveready and Duracell say we are consultants from Symantec, Mcafee or Sophos and we are here to create a strategy to help them win in this market space. A virus based battery... let's push out a pattern for that one boys...

  21. Re:By Hand on How Would You Prefer To Send Sensitive Data? · · Score: 1

    How about plastered all over the side of a truck, like a certain CEO? Hey, if it's good enough for him, it's gotta be safe! And you have witnesses, and I'm sure they will swear that the data was delivered too, intact.

  22. Re:We tried that on Focused Microwaves Could Enable Wireless Power Transfer · · Score: 1

    No, you have this all wrong! This is all a ploy by Orville Redenbacher to improve the bottom line.

  23. Re:Kung fu grip on Bionic Arm Might Go Into Clinical Trials · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually, If I was a potential recipient of the arm, I would insist on a FU-grip. Ultra fast, efficient perfect single [middle] finger salute! And maybe a plethora of single hand or double in the case of a double amputee sign language insults to be volleyed at a moments notice.

  24. Re:Why recycle it? on Burying a Mainframe In Style · · Score: 1

    After the burial at C, everyone was seen celebrating it's life over bits of fresh browser cookies and an extra large serving of java.

  25. Re:First thing one associates with that name... on Microsoft Competes In Supercomputer Market · · Score: 1

    Your half right...

    When archeologists discover a 1,000,000 year old windows 2003 compute cluster they will undoubtedly call it the Clusterfckasaurus.
