  1. Re:Finally, an alternative? on Make Magazine Subscription Now Available · · Score: 1

    I instantly thought Something Awful. Damn SA infecting my brain. *insert witty SA catchphrase here*

  2. Re:How long has this been happening? on U.S. DOT Launches Laser Illumination Reporting · · Score: 2, Informative

    TFA say there have been 400+ reported incidents since 1990. 31 of these happened since Dec. 23rd. That seems to be a sudden rash!

  3. Re:VGA2USB on Laptops, Headless Servers and KVMs? · · Score: 1

    Interesting. I don't think it should be that hard to add a dongle for mouse and keyboard as well?

  4. Re:Batman!!! on Closer to Human Flight · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm a top, not a bottom*... you can have Robin's position.




    *not gay.

  5. Re:Yeah, right. on How Can I Trust Firefox? · · Score: 1

    I did this too. I've read too many porn sites :(

  6. Re:Why are we celebrating this? on War of the Worlds, Chocolate Factory Trailers · · Score: 1

    I think they showed Charlie doing something "bad" because then he could be honest and own up to his mistakes at the end. Plus, the other kids had character flaws/behavioral problems, but Charlie just wanted to have a little fun.

  7. Sourcefire reseller reporting. on Profiting from Open Source Software · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I am currently employed by a Sourcefire reseller and must say that I really enjoy working with the company. The philosophies of most of those employed by SF fall squarely in line with my philosophies, so that helps. They don't seem... evil. Plus - they have a cool office, that helps, right?

  8. Re:Do you fly? on Location-Based Encryption · · Score: 1

    I guess I was not 100% accurate. It rarely leaves my side. Luckily, I have not yet run into an instance where my laptop was left in an unsafe environment for longer than about 5 minutes or so.

    My Lappy 486 is treated better than my cat.

  9. Do you keep your laptop solely in the office? on Location-Based Encryption · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It seems like the real risk would be when you are on-site, traveling, etc. As a consultant, my laptop never leaves my side. I'd hate to have to "check out" every time I left the building. Also, I don't think I would like my employer having the possibility of tracking my every movement. Sure, you could turn off the tracking, but then you've lost the security as well.

  10. Re:The Perfect Beverage? on Caffeinated Beer Becomes a Reality · · Score: 1

    I actually tried a framboise 2 weeks ago after much raving from my friends. I enjoyed it thoroughly, but it seemed more like a dessert/winter wine than a beer. Or maybe even like some fermented soda. If I was willing to shell out the $8/bottle that the bar wanted, I probably would have had a few. I'll stick to Boddington's.

  11. Re:The Perfect Beverage? on Caffeinated Beer Becomes a Reality · · Score: 1

    Boo. Berry != Beer. I do like the 6.6% alcohol figure though.

  12. The Perfect Beverage? on Caffeinated Beer Becomes a Reality · · Score: 1

    I can only imagine this will taste horrible, but in the event that it doesn't, I will probably make this a part of my diet. I like the speed up/slow down combo contained in a JagerBomb (Jagermeister/Red Bull), but doing shots is never good on my stomach. Time to RTFA.

  13. Re:WHAT IS A GMAIL INVITE? on Hotmail Blocks Gmail Emails (and Invites) · · Score: 0, Redundant

    i'd like an invite... mpathetiq@excite.com
