    Unlike my 486 with its VLB ... my incorrect assumption

    The solution is obvious, AOL CD duel at dawn

    (Well its one use for the CDs)

  6. Re:BT on BT's Predictions for the Future · · Score: 1

    You couldn't be more wrong, the BT engineer accuratly predicts the 5 minutes you are unavailable because you need more milk for the coffee or are dropping the kids off at the pool to call round and then state you wern't in all day.

  7. Re: medical science on BT's Predictions for the Future · · Score: 1

    but by implication you do forsee a great advance in medical science by anticipating being around for the next 100 years to not see them
    If someone can make sense of that for me, please mail it on the top half of your boss to your local congressman/MP/bin man

  8. Problems on What's Wrong with the Open Source Community? · · Score: -1, Redundant
    • They can't decide which licence is better (BSD/GPL/LGPL)

    • They assume just because she is a chick and a geek she is hot
    • They can't decide which compiler is better (gcc/icc/egcs)
    • They spend too much time bashing SCO/M$/BSD
    And many more ;)

    They'll end up suing themselves, for having the price of CDs/MDs/LPs/DVD-As/etc too high, causing people to distribute on t'internet them in the first place.

    Who keeps swapping the "submit" and "preview" buttons?

  17. The final irony? on Web Pages Are Weak Links in the Chain of Knowledge · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That matters in part because some documents exist only as Web pages -- for example, the British government's dossier on Iraqi weapons.
    "It only appeared on the Web," Worlock said. "There is no definitive reference where future historians might find it."
    Much like the WMDs themselves then ...

  19. Just a couple of things ... on DNA Assembled Nano-Transistors · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What is the life expectancy of the components? From the article it seems to me (disclaimer: IANAMolecularBiologistOrNanoEngineer) that the organic component is not required after the "wires" are in place but will the DNA auto-repair any damage to the wire?

    Couldn't a virus (biological, not computer) be used to re-write the DNA strand that is used to construct the devices, to make different components for sinister purposes?

    Is it paranoia if they really are out to get you?
