  1. Really?, on An Instructo-Geek Reviews The 4-Hour Chef · · Score: 1

    Has the poster never heard of the food network?

  2. Can someone say FIREWALL? on CCTV Hack Takes Casino For $33 Million · · Score: 1

    Assuming the casino had a basic firewall for outside of the hotel access, I am thinking the accomplice may have been in a room in the hotel. If that were the case... How could they not have a separate firewall to protect the CCTV feeds? It would seem to me the CCTV should have stand-alone servers and a stand-alone firewall. That being said, I would like to meet the intruder. I have a business proposition for him :-)

  3. Re:Chrome's agile development? on A New Version of MS Office Every 90 Days · · Score: 1

    No, it's marketing... Microsoft has re-named "Patch Tuesday"

  4. The phone????? on Bill Gates Says Windows Phone Strategy Was Inadequate · · Score: 1

    Has anybody looked at Office 2013? I got a copy for $9.95 through the Micro$soft home user program. They are re-making all of their APPS look like the phone. The package was about $11.00 more than it was worth. The company is putting all of their eggs in the "Metro" basket, and it will not end up well for them, unless Ballmer walks through computer stores with a baseball bat to "convince" people to buy their products.

  5. HUH? on Why Do Entrepreneurs Innovate Better Than Managers? · · Score: 1

    This is a trick question, right?

  6. Re:Weeks on After Weeks of Trying, UK Cryptographers Fail To Crack WWII Code · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't the key be XYZZY?

  7. Re:It's Not A Bet... on Is Windows 8 Microsoft's Riskiest Bet? · · Score: 2

    I actually put up an RC of Win8. For a short period of time. All I could think of was Microsoft Bob...

  8. Bravo!! on The Patent Mafia and What You Can Do To Break It Up · · Score: 1

    This is all not only out of control, but INSANE! This needs to be fixed somehow, but I have little faith in the American government to even understand the problem.

  9. Re:That's Dumb on Smearing Toddler Reputations Via Internet: Free Speech Or Extortion? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Nope. This is "Nice place you have here... It would be a shame if something happened to it".

  10. Re:Wow on Baumgartner Completes 13.5-Mile Free-Fall Jump, Aims For Record · · Score: 1

    I swear that I saw a Discovery documentary where a guy did this same thing (From the record altitude), and broke at least MACH 1.

  11. Re:Alchemy? on Scientists Build Graphene From Scratch, Atom By Atom · · Score: 2

    I think the bigger question is, "how would you move this process to a FAB"? I don't think it will happen soon, but it seems to me we would need robotic STMs? Research is continuing... I assume.

  12. Re:Mars might be the best place to put life, thoug on Why Mars Is Not the Best Place To Look For Life · · Score: 1

    Nahhh. I'm pretty sure there is a Wal~Mart there.

  13. Rain? on Swiss Researchers Try to Make it Rain With Lasers · · Score: 1

    I think the research should continue... In Texas!

  14. Seriously... on Environmental Enforcement Agents Targeting Guitars · · Score: 2

    With everything that's screwed up in this country, how did this bubble up to the top of the list?

  15. Re:Well that was neat. on Russian Resupply Crash Could Mean Leaving ISS Empty · · Score: 1

    Hey, on Star Trek they always found places to walk around without space suits...

  16. Re:It's a CAT-2 storm, for god's sake... on Hurricane Irene Prompts Unprecedented Evacuation of NYC · · Score: 1

    Yup, the eye is collapsing, and the wind speed is dropping,,,, But it is still 951MB

  17. Re:Multiplexing on Scientists Map Spiraling Light For Faster Net · · Score: 1

    Isn't that called DWDM?

  18. Re:summary wrong, 100 million, now 200 million on Moon Younger Than Previously Thought · · Score: 1

    You're kidding right? This is /.

  19. Who thinks Multi-core is a coincidence? on Michio Kaku's Dark Prediction For the End of Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    When you can't scale vertically any further, you scale horizontally. What we need is software that will take advantage of multiple cores and hyper-threading in those cores. There are some out there. (Video editing comes to mind.) If we get started now, we will be all set when the end-game becomes imperative. That way, we can see processing improvement in the same relative footprint.

  20. Math? on CS Profs Debate Role of Math In CS Education · · Score: 1

    I had to think about this a bit before responding... I left college because they told me I had to take calculus or do not come back to my major. I left, and got a job as a COBOL programmer. I then moved into system programming, went on to be published at conferences, magazines, etc. My job now is main frame capacity planning and performance measurement as a storage vendor. Yes, I use math in my job. Calculus? NO.

  21. Re:Im sorry - define Kit on EMC Engineer Steals Almost $1 Million of Kit One Piece at a Time · · Score: 2

    So, you have the "special" discount?

  22. Re:absolutely, do it yourself, fool on NSA Chief Wants Internet Partitioned For Government, 'Critical' Industries · · Score: 1

    Wait! Can't we just fix this with switch zoning?

  23. Re:Bandwagon effect on Toyota Sudden Acceleration Is Driver Error · · Score: 1

    "In tough times"? Hell, I try to scam money in ALL times!!!

  24. Re:Yea but on Police Seize Computers From Gizmodo Editor · · Score: 1

    My wife thinks it is a marketing plan by Apple. I keep telling her there is no way. Let's go to the next step. If you had too many adult beverages and left your Blackberry in a bar, would you expect to get it back? What did they find out? Apple-marked chips? WOO-HOO!

  25. Yes on How Many Admins Per User/Computer Have You Seen? · · Score: 1

    Yes, you are seriously understaffed. And yes, it is normal ;-)
