  1. Backups on Best Practices for a Lossless Music Archive? · · Score: 1

    The last word in lossless archiving...

  2. Re:Pass the bill on Fair Use Bill Introduced To Change DMCA · · Score: 1

    ...introducing a bill that has no hope of being passed...
    Isn't this what's expected of a Rep. named DoLittle?
  3. Re:Missing apostrophe on A Developers Security Bugs Primer · · Score: 1

    Or maybe it should be "A Developers' Security Primer." Either way, the editor's' we're not paying attention.

  4. Re:Oh for sure. on What Vista Is Really Like · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually, its more like "what if you woke and found a strange and bloated woman in your bed, and she was irrational, unpredictable, and dangerous... and also a control freak? That's Vista for you."
    Uh oh, you mean Vista is like Rosie O'Donnell?
  5. Re:One man's mutation on Gene Found In Black Death Survivors Stops HIV · · Score: 1
    Just wait until it's discovered that delta 32 causes something really evil..like independent thought.

    "The mutant genes hate us for our freedom from disease..."

  6. Re:Evolving on iPods Used for Medical Images · · Score: 1

    Completely agree about the convenience of patients being able to carry films to specialists. Just had an MRI, and the radiology clinic would make just one copy of the films. They were happy to offer me extra copies at US$10.00 per sheet, of course. If I posessed digital copies (which I should, come to think of it), there would be no worries about damage, loss, degradation, etc. Probably little impetus on the part of the radiology factory^H^H^Hclinic to protect my copy I suppose...

  7. They work very well if made properly on How Zombies Work · · Score: 2, Interesting
  8. Re:Education is NOT the problem on Is The U.S. Becoming Anti-Science? · · Score: 1

    It matters even less than you imply. True, there are few (sorry reasonable Kansans) who really care about this in the context of national politics. We really don't -- hang yourselves, etc. Except that growing stupidity, umm, creates more stupidity. Do you really think that it is helpful to propagate this shit? At best it has no effect. Don't know about you, but I am certainly not interested in being responsible in any way for active or passive promotion of this kind of crap.

  9. Teaching By Example? on Students Banned from Blogging · · Score: 2, Insightful
    How does the school know what's best for the students when they are outside that environment? This plays right into the (unfortunately) common belief that school personnel are supposed to do the parenting for the students instead of the parents.

    Not exactly the best way to show the young and impressionable how to deal with the world.
