  1. Great stuff on 64-Bit Java For Linux · · Score: 1

    AFAIKT, this works great. The library plugin name isn't that obvious though - for firefox 64 bit, you need to symlink (in .mozilla/plugins directory):

    libnpjp2.so -> /usr/lib64/jre1.6.0_12/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so

    My test site[s] work great.

  2. Act of god... on UN Plans Asteroid Response Framework · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No insurance pays out for an 'act of god' (whatever that means), so why bother anyway? - we would lose it all with no pay-back.

  3. Re:Aging is a disease on Mad Scientist Brings Back Dead With "Deanimation" · · Score: 1

    That will be the 'Murricans, I suppose?

  4. I know where it is! on Recourse For Poor Customer Service? · · Score: 1

    It is in the same place as the weapons of mass destruction are in Iraq.

    ...the standing around on corners all hours at night drinking cans of Stella and cheap cider, vomiting in the street and causing as much trouble/violence/vandalism as they can.

  6. Well, on Has HavenCo's Data Haven Shut Down? · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...according to that Netcraft screen dump in the link they have changed from Linux (I also presume apache) to MS IIS server... no wonder they appear to have sunk.

  7. Microsoft on McColo Takedown, Vigilantes Or Neighborhood Watch? · · Score: 1

    Whatever happens, and kudos to those that try, but the biggest responsible orginisation of SPAM is MS due to all the botnets that seem to infiltrate MS operating systems at will.

  8. Re:Fantastic on Very Large Telescope Captures New 27-Megapixel Deep Field · · Score: 1

    Oh dear. Billions of galaxies containing billions of stars that probably have planets. You sir, are a TWAT.

  9. Fantastic on Very Large Telescope Captures New 27-Megapixel Deep Field · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The mind boggles. How anybody can believe we are here all alone, I don't know.

  10. Open Source? on Ballmer "Interested" In Open Source Browser Engine · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    MS still do not under open source code at all...

    Why the fuck can't they just try to do what they do, and not try to deliberately fuck up/poison what everybody else is doing?

  11. No wonder... on LHC Forces Bookmaker To Lower Odds On the Existence of God · · Score: 1

    ...bookies are rich. Remember odds go in as more people bet on it (i.e. more money bet on it), so there are some real deluded people out there betting on this.

  12. I was right! on Bones Found Near Crash Site Confirmed Fossett's · · Score: 4, Funny
  13. Playing Cards Puzzle on Distributed.net Finds Optimal 25-Mark Golomb Ruler · · Score: 1

    Years ago I saw a puzzle that is obviously based on this - get two suits, say Diamonds & Clubs. The idea is to arrange the cards in a horizontal line so the the aces are one card away from each other, the deuces two cards away from each other..., the 10's ten cards away from each other..., the kings 13 cards away from each other etc.

    e.g. for starters:

    3 1 2 1 3 2

    It can be done with all 13 cards.

  14. Wow! on Microsoft to Issue Emergency Patch For File-Sharing Hole · · Score: 1

    And you Winders users - please DON'T forget to REBOOT after you apply this security patch (with no doubt extra luggage attached)!

    I can see 5% of the Internet blinking on/off/on/off..... {6 hours}.... on again tonight.

  15. Re:How many failures before.. on The London Stock Exchange Goes Down For Whole Day · · Score: 1

    "Wall Street can afford to pay the top salaries so they attract guys who really know their stuff. Not just semi-competent people who managed to sit through an MSCE exam."

    Explain how you get 'guys that really know their stuff' on a black box proprietary OS? Unless they are MS employees, of course.

  16. Re:obligatory comment. on NIST Releases Report On WTC 7 Collapse · · Score: 5, Funny

    It must be a MS OS then...

  18. Luckily GNU/Linus is secure... on Faux-CNN Spam Blitz Delivers Malicious Flash · · Score: 0

    ... it takes a lot to get the kosher flashplayer to work, let alone a hooky one.

  19. Re:Rings a bell on Microsoft Blesses LGPL, Joins Apache Foundation · · Score: 1

    Yep, dead right. This move is like the police do when then send in undercover agents to infiltrate drug smuggling gangs/bank robbers etc., and spend months getting trusted as kosher members of said gangs until the big set-up and 'GOTCHA' at the end when they all get busted.

    "As a token of our apology, here's a nice big wooden horse" - perfectly worded.

  20. RMS is correct again re Bill Gates... on Stallman Attacks Gates, Microsoft, & Charity Foundation · · Score: 1

    Another story on the BEEB today typifies what Gates & Family do with the supposed philanthropy:

  24. Re:Bill Gates, the great philanthropist on Microsoft Wants OLPC System to Run Windows XP · · Score: 1

    Yes, indeed. Lets examine BG and his cause.

    His father is a lawyer (of course) and MS became MS due to advice from Dad that software returns better value and control being LICENCED. The rest is history.

    Gates family invest in a lot of industry - one of the biggest is drug companies (cartels, like MS).

    Now to gates foundation. Donate $50,000,000 dolloars to fight AIDS [sic] through a proxy medium. Yes, sure.

    The money gets donated to drug companies to produce cheaper drugs to fight [a disease] - no drugs are actually bought, money is just 'donated' to the drug company for R&D. This company then produces cheaper drugs, thus trashing rival drug companies.

    Need I say which companies Gates & co. have shares in?

    Who would have thought, eh?

    It would take 3 years, 4 months, 2.5 weeks and 100000 hours (if you use Excel) to transfer the files over to it using Vista - a long development time indeed.
