  1. Re:Was this a review? on The Google Search Server · · Score: 0, Redundant
    I agree, I thought I'd get a little opinion on the device itself, and ended up seeing the only opinion given was that gee, not many people use PIII processors anymore.

    That aside, it was a neat looking 1U case though.

  2. Idea! on NSF Ponders New And Improved Internet · · Score: 5, Funny

    Let's name it "Internet 2!"

  3. Re:One down... on Rio Brand Closes Doors · · Score: 1

    We're going to have to agree to disagree here. Between AllofMP3.com and Creatives recent software updates, I like my 40GB Creative Zen Xtra very much. It's served me well for the last year and I havn't had any serious differences between it and my 4th Gen 20GB iPod and iTunes.

  4. Somewhere... on Rio Brand Closes Doors · · Score: 1

    Somewhere, in the depths of Apple Headquarters, Steve Jobs busts out the champagne.

  5. Games in school? Not MY child! on Your Homework is Play Video Games · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Some parent, some where, is in a panic thinking the system is about to spring GTA on their kid.

    It's been said before that parents don't care what kind of games their kids play but rather how much time they're spending playing them.

  6. Re:Hey now... on The Hidden Boot Code of the Xbox · · Score: 1

    (I was going for a joke on the sly about the already-identified Wikipedia/Wiki misinformation. Ah well, next time Spiderman, next time...)

  8. Hey now... on The Hidden Boot Code of the Xbox · · Score: 0, Redundant

    In all fairness, the previous posting of this had NOTHING about Wikipedia in it. Perhaps that was the intended news to spread?

  9. So... on The NetBSD Toaster · · Score: 5, Funny
    If it crashes, does your toast get burnt?

    The BTOD? Black Toast of Death?

  10. Re:Lies, damn lies, and statistics on An Open Letter from Darl McBride · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This means only one thing: that hackers have to dedicate their time at manually hacking a linux server, while for a Windows machine a quick 5-minute script will do the entire job for them.

  11. A few options. on Using Technology to Protect Anonymous Sources? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Places like Stealth Surfer ( http://stealthsurfer.biz/anonymous_email.html ) offer off-shore anonymous and encrypted email addresses, free of cost. Usage of free and public computers, such as public librarys and even Wifi hotspots, can help cover tracks. But sometimes it all depends on how determined someone is to invade your network. The most secure computer is one not connected to the internet - that's why I recommend AOL Dialup! You'll never be exposed to the internet again!

  12. Wait, what??? on Windows Guru Calls For IE7 Boycott · · Score: 1

    Wait wait wait, WHAT? IE is not secure?!? MY DATA!

  13. Well then on Win2000 Still Performs on 8-year-old Hardware · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Well then, forget this silly AMD64 system with this waste of 1M L2 Cache! I'm digging out my Pentium 133 system out of the basement!

    Just because someone can drag themselves through a decathalon with a broken leg doesn't mean they're going to be fast, effective or ejoy doing so. I don't see Pentium scaling back their development teams because Win2k was a smooth OS that brought life to the unwieldly Win95-capable hardware.

  14. 125 Questions? What? on Science's 125 Big Questions · · Score: 5, Funny

    We already know the answer to the ONE question... What we REALLY need to do is build a machine to figure out what that question is - who's with me?!

  15. Good question. on Cross Skilling Across Multi-OS Platforms? · · Score: 1

    It's difficult to say. On one hand, you risk taking a specialist and by asking them to diversify, you may be rendering them unable to continue to advance their area of specialty, and on the other hand, you may suddenly have an admin that's versed in more than one environment. As with anything it's a tradeoff. But if I were you, I'd ask for a raise upon certification. Or make them pay for the crashcourse camp for certification. =D

    I believe the link should've been this.

  19. Re:Wow on First Person Shooter - Under 100KBs of Code · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah, I guess a couple of floppies would be Doom. Wolfenstein is what I was thinking of, there we go. Sorry, my memory on the games I played when I was 6 is bad. ^_^

  20. Wow on First Person Shooter - Under 100KBs of Code · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Suddenly, I'm taken back to the days of Doom, where I can fit a FPS onto a floppy disk. Sweet.

  21. Re:Once again... "In other news" on Microsoft's Long-Playing Business Record · · Score: 1

    Unless that "water" is Saphire. Then it's not wet at all! In fact, you could cool your entire computer system submerged in it, and short nothing. How cool is that?

  22. Aaannndddd on Spyware Company Sues Utah Over Anti-Spyware Law · · Score: 1

    ... and then the state responds with fines, for invasion of privacy, and the frivilous lawsuit is dismissed. If the world were fair.

  23. Ahhhh on Two Takes on the Java Dilemma · · Score: 1

    Those two commentaries are informative and are interesting. I find Rick Ross's more to what I would say myself about the topic. What -did- we fight so hard for?

  24. Well... on The 'Pervasive Computing' Community · · Score: 1

    It's true, that the things you own end up owning you. Financially an influence, as well as influences over the things you know and learn.

  25. Now... on Auto-Censoring DVD Player · · Score: 5, Funny

    I just KNOW there's going to be a hack out for it soon, that will enable to user to reverse the process and skip to just the naughty bits and swear words. =)
