  1. Re:Good article on On the Efficacy of Flu Vaccine · · Score: 5, Funny

    I *thought* about getting a placebo, and didn't get the flu. I'm suggestible as hell.

  2. Re: Perimeter Institute on The Press Releases of the Damned · · Score: 1

    I hope Research in Motion's Perimeter Institute takes off.

    Perimeter Institute is unrelated and not part of Research in Motion. A substantial chunk of original funding and enthusiasm was provided by Mike Lazaridis.

  3. Re:Obligatory Serious Answer on How Do I Make My Netbook More Manly? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oh, and if you really need a line, next time someone says its cute, respond with, "Yeah, it's a 10-incher, just like my cock." Problem solved!

    Wow! You've got a 10 inch rooster to match your laptop? Cool!

  4. Re:Deadhorse? on BeOS Successor Haiku Keeps the Faith · · Score: 5, Funny

    The difference is like driving a Porsche 911 after driving a pickup truck all your life.

    You mean, beautiful, smooth, fast, elegant, and impractical?

  5. Re:The dirty way - the dangerous way on Home Generators (or How DTE Energy Ruined My Holidays) · · Score: 1

    Creating a male-male power cable is an invitation to death. Darwin awards here we come.

  6. Re:These questions always make me smile... on Full Disk Encryption - Xen, Windows and Linux? · · Score: 1

    One "obvious" approach is to run the corporate windows, and then run linux under vmware running on windows.

  7. KV on electronic communities on Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Dies At 84 · · Score: 1

    "And I tell you, we are here on earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you any different.

    "Electronic communities build nothing. You wind up with nothing. We're dancing animals. How beautiful it is to get up and go do something. [Gets up and dances a jig.]"

    -- Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., interview in Inc. Technology January 1996, Vol.17, No. 17

  8. Re:Jumping the logical gap. on Circuit City and the American Dream · · Score: 1

    "The salary of the chief executive of a large corporation is not a market award for achievement. It is frequently in the nature of a warm personal gesture by the individual to himself."
    -- John Kenneth Galbraith

  9. USENIX / SAGE / LOPSA on Where to Advertise for Open Source Job Openings? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I might guess that most USENIX, SAGE and LOPSA members are well versed in open source tools.

    You could try the respective jobs boards:

  10. LISA System Administration Conference on What Would You Recommend for IT Training? · · Score: 1

    The 20th annual USENIX LISA System Administration conference is in Washington DC in December. Lots of content, no fluff.

    Disclaimer: I teach tutorials at USENIX conferences, but I've paid to attend many over the years

  11. ONA - Open Network Administrator on How Do You Handle Ethernet Port Management? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You might want to check out ONA - Open Network Administrator from Bruce Campbell at U of Waterloo. And his paper from the LISA 2005 conference.

  12. Re:2 drive fail happening 2 times! on Tips for Increasing Server Availability? · · Score: 1

    Make sure you schedule the weekly check of the RAID!!!

    Better yet, make sure you buy hardware that isn't complete crap and needs you to manually check it to make sure it hasn't silently started corrupting itself!!!!

    Sheesh -- next you'll be telling us to run mysqlcheck from time to time to make sure your "database" hasn't corrupted itself.

  13. Re:Better idea! on What's On Your Hotel Keycard · · Score: 1

    Use your credit card as the key? Yeah, that will work really well when I'm staying in the hotel with my kids. Hey kids, go swimming, and while you're there, charge whatever you want to my VISA. And when I want more than one key for the room?
