  1. Re:This is why control of the Internet is importan on NSA Data Mining Much Larger Than Reported · · Score: 1

    He has been here for a while, little brother, quite a while; so watch it - the teeth are close to your rear.

  2. Re:If you don't care, that's fine on NSA Data Mining Much Larger Than Reported · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one or did somebody else read "cryptofacist librarians" ? I, for one, welcome our new jackbooted book- minders !

  3. Re:me? addicted?!?!?! on Are Americans Addicted to Technology? · · Score: 1

    Suggest that you do as I do. Complain bitterly until they restore the service. It passes the time.

  4. Re:What an asshole on ZNet interviews Richard Stallman · · Score: 1

    God is to far away to help you - even if he did care. RMS is even further away - and he don't wanna help you ('least that's the impression I get). Give you a hint though - hate is not good; gives you lines on your face, ulcers in the stomach etc. As a famous man didn't say "Laugh and the world laughs with you: hate and you hate alone". Have a good Christmas and a happy New Year.

    They haven't ?

  6. Re:Size of a salt cellar??? on Robot Saves the Day at Radiation Lab · · Score: 1

    I too, have learned something. I read salt seller and have only now realised my mistake.

  7. Re:Those tricky predictions... on Bill Gates, Time Magazine "Person of the Year" · · Score: 1

    For your post, I think it's simple, Mr. Gates is confused (what else is new?). In particular, he is confusing spam and malaria. It's an easy mistake to make. For your sig, well what exactly is this "subtlety" thing ? I've been a sysadmin for a while now and I didn't know that I didn't need it. In fact, I don't know if I have any - and therefore cannot judge if I need it or not. Were you thinking of the gentle art of being subtle ? 'Cause if such is the case, we have to talk about the gentle art of subtly causing pain. In my view, this is the best - if not the only - method that a sysadmin can use to teach the even more gentle art of correct use of a computer without getting the sysadmin angry. Could be that we're talking about the same thing, or maybe I've something to learn (I can split hairs with the best of them). Thinking of a sig for myself; "Let sleeping sysadmins lie", "Beware! Sysadmin on his siesta", "Never wake a sleeping sysadmin - and if you find one who's not sleeping, offer a place to lie down", "Ladies, the sysadmin is your next affaire" all come to mind. But I can't decide. Can't quite get the right note. Not quite. Anybody want to help me out ?

  8. Re:Obligatory overlord statement on Journey Towards The Center of the Earth · · Score: 1

    I agree, let us welcome him indeed. But maybe somebody might want to tell our Japanese chums that they don't have to drill for him. Said Overlord is alive and well and living in Mexico City. Same building, just one floor down from Jesus Christ.

  9. Re:v3.0 Download? What Download? on Nessus 3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Are we on the same Internet ? I just looked at Nessus.org. It seems the version 3.0 is available for download now.

  10. Only me ? on Yahoo Updates Konfabulator · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who thought "midgets" instead of "widgets" ? I swear I read the article and was half-way down the first page of comments before I realised my mistake.

    Yes, he died - but aren't you a bit off-topic ?

  12. Re:Blurb is wrong on Fingerprint Scanners Fooled By Play-Doh · · Score: 1

    I don't care. Have the name changed is my suggestion. How about "Washington E.C." - to avoid confusion with the other one. "Clark STONED" also comes to mind. "SON of Clark" anyone ?

  13. Re:Well, DUH. on Fingerprint Scanners Fooled By Play-Doh · · Score: 1

    True. But you should have been told that this lady is in fact MacGyver in drag. Once you know that you can understand the rest with ease.

  14. Re:In other news... on Fingerprint Scanners Fooled By Play-Doh · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised that nobody is concerned with the colour of the Play-Doh.

    I tried to sign but I don't think that the site is working properly

  16. Re:This is an example of why Microsoft has problem on Competing to Work for Microsoft · · Score: 1

    And Microsoft is not alone. In NORTH Korea old people cannot remember anything - even the name of their Great Leader. This is because they are coded by Bill and his team - in Visual C++. The resulting memory leak (from the ears) results in their regretable forgetfulness. (I have heard this same reason given for the behavior of G. Bush, but he simply crashed a long time ago - according to what I heard. I don't know if this is true though.) To reboot or not to reboot, that is a question I should not like to answer.

  17. Re:I know this is tacky, on Competing to Work for Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Yup. But not for free. Never for free. Further, (and even tackier) in South Korea only old people code for Bill.

    Welcome, Sire

  19. Re:"science"? But complete science, please ! on Depressed Hamsters Help Researchers · · Score: 1

    And I agree with you, Sir. Further, I feel that we need to study what happens when a hamster drops a scientist into a bucket of water. Balance is a requisite, Sir, for the history books. Also, for complete coverage, the comments and thoughts of the scientist could be recorded on some long-lasting medium. Graven in stone, perhaps.

  20. Re:not good on Swarming And Hopping Planetary Robots · · Score: 1

    Could just stay home quietly, too. Maybe get boinked.

  22. Re:Underground Caves - missed the point on Swarming And Hopping Planetary Robots · · Score: 1

    French slang gives another meaning for "cave" and these are to be found underground, aboveground, and some (though not many) have a pilot's licence.

  24. Re:Robot Sex? No robots involved ! on Swarming And Hopping Planetary Robots · · Score: 1

    I was going to ask if these things run Linux. I was going to : then I noticed that there were 2 inventors - 1 female and 1 male. Now I'm sure that we're talking human behaviour here. These 2 learnéd souls have in fact discovered how to make .... well, babies (the description of their behavior fits exactly). Have we discovered a "cruelty to children" issue here ? Will Doctor Penny be able to supply the demand by herself ? Have we discovered scientifically justified polygamy ? How does Doctor Steven feel about the projected use of his progeniture (lava tubes can get awful hot, after all) ? These (and many other) questions must be answered !

    Would be ideal if the drive were included. Not really necessary though. Where can I get one ?
