  1. Re:Just what I need... on Wal-Mart to Offer Wal-Mart Notebooks · · Score: 0

    Although perhaps the logo can be sandblasted off so that users won't die of embarassment in a Cayce Pollard-esque fashion. Although even then I still wouldn't use one.

    I once walked into a department store, ctrl-alt-del'ed the winblowz screensaver (back in the days when you could), wrote a 2 line asm .com file to reboot the computer, added it to autoexec.bat, and rebooted. Endless rebooting fun, the look on the sales peoples' faces was priceless.

  4. Re:300mm? on AMD Breaks Ground on New Chip Facility · · Score: 1

    I was thinking the wafer itself was larger, but 300mm is what Intel are using (or were using when that article was written).

  5. 300mm? on AMD Breaks Ground on New Chip Facility · · Score: 0

    Or 300mm^2? I'm guessing the latter, which equates to about 1.73cmx1.73cm

  6. The wit and wisdom of the Dalai Lama on A Monocultural Alternative: TheOpenCD · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    This t-shirt says it best: "If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito -- Dalai Lama".

  7. Re:Other ways to get past this system on Ready or Not, Biometrics Finally in Stores · · Score: 1

    The only problem is, if I want 10 things at once, how do I access the system without any fingers?

    See, this is where a finger-ring comes in handy.

    It's like a law of nature that the press will overhype these sorts of things to the point where it's very easy to see the flaws, then they eventually cotton on and bag the technology. Which makes it difficult to see that the exisiting technologies may be useful (you don't need to have such a system 99.9% perfect in order to use it as an extra check, applied wisely). It also makes it difficult to improve the technology, as soon as bad press comes out there goes the funding so you can't afford to improve it.

  9. Re:It all makes sense now on Gates Comdex Keynote Shows Plans, Matrix Spoof · · Score: 1

    SCO is quite clearly Agent Smith, a nasty virus. Agent Smith can only fight dirty and claim to be copied, nothing innovative.

    As the little kid says, "there is no security".

    But this is in Austrailia, correct? What does the law there say?

    That was the Australian legislation

    Also, doesn't this state that a ISP isn't liable or responsible for the filesharing that its clients do? So why do they have to bow to subpeonas from the music industry?

    Take down first, ask questions later?
